■What Are Takuya Sato’s Tips for Enjoying Say You To Yo Asobi & Tomokazu Seki?

This episode featured Takuya Sato, the first-ever Friday MC. In the opening, the first generation Friday duo—Tomokazu Seki and Takuya Sato—looked back at Say You To Yo Asobi from 8 years ago, kicking off the show with lots of excitement.

This episode included a special segment titled "From the First Generation to the Ninth! Passing on the Know-How." Sato offered "instruction manual" tips for Say You To Yo Asobi and Seki to the ninth generation Friday MC, Reiji Kawashima.

The first tip he shared was: "Hai is Yes." He explained, "By just answering 'Hai!' (Yes!) to everything, many doors opened for me! Saying 'No' is simple, but first you should try jumping in." Sato emphasized that challenging yourself is important. Kawashima, deeply struck by Sato’s passionate words—especially from someone who has created countless legendary moments on the show, from dummy head mics to "bondage" scenes—murmured in understanding, "I see..."

However, the next tip was a warning: "Protect Yourself!" Sato cautioned, "Even if you say 'Hai' or 'Yes,' if you come across something... well, in the end, you should decide for yourself! It’s a live broadcast! It's Now On Air!" Seki nodded in agreement and joked, "Even your manager won't protect you!" drawing even more laughter.

Lastly, the final tip Sato passed on was, "Everything is lucky!!!" He expressed gratitude for the program, saying, "With so many voice actors out there, it's lucky to be chosen as an MC." Reflecting on rare experiences, Sato added, "If you try all sorts of things on this show, unexpected things will happen. I never thought I'd get to watch Ichiro Mizuki singing right in front of me." Seki followed up with advice: "If you make requests, you might get to meet people you'd never meet otherwise, thanks to the power of television. You're young, so just play dumb and go for it!" Kawashima listened intently to all the wisdom his seniors imparted.
