■Miyu Irino Panics Over the "Guillotine"

For this installment, the illusionist brothers Yoshinosuke Yamagami and Akinoshin Yamagami, famous for their "Tejinanya!" catchphrase, appeared as magic instructors. They immediately demonstrated two magic tricks using playing cards and string, captivating Shimono and Irino, who exclaimed, "Wow!"

Next, Irino challenged the "guillotine" magic trick, which appears to cut through a person's neck or hand with a blade. Hesitating, Irino said, "There are more episodes of 'Yo Asobi' to come, and I only just started singing again..." while his neck was fixed in the apparatus. The shocking scene prompted Shimono to comment, "I've only seen this in Western history classes..." Irino remarked, "I thought this wouldn't be scary, but now that I'm here, it's actually pretty terrifying..." and even Shimono admitted, "I'm scared too," watching anxiously.

Then, as Yoshinosuke Yamagami held the blade, he teased, "It's been a while since we've performed this trick, so I'm a bit nervous about whether it'll go smoothly. If anything happens, I apologize in advance. Now, for your final words..." further fueling Irino's anxiety. As his "last words," Irino recited the show's catchphrase: "'Yo Asobi's' 'asobi' is written in hiragana!"
