Hiroki Yasumoto Grumbles, “I Became a Voice Actor, So Why Is There a Washbasin Above My Head…?”—A Psychological Battle with Chiaki Kobayashi

On June 23, 2025 (Monday) at 22:00, episode 9 of "Say You To Yo Asobi Monday" aired on the ABEMA Anime LIVE Channel. This episode, titled “Read My Mind! Psychological Battle,” featured Monday’s MCs Hiroki Yasumoto and Chiaki Kobayashi challenging themselves with psychological games.

The first game played was the “Washbasin Battle.” Under the rules, each participant received five cards—four depicting their own face and one showing the other’s face. Drawing the opponent’s face card meant instant disqualification. If they successfully drew their own face card three times in a row, they would clear the stage.

Chiaki Kobayashi commented, “This isn’t a normal game—this is a death game.” Yasumoto, looking relaxed, said, “There were times before when the washbasin didn’t fall, so maybe it won’t this time either.” As Kobayashi pointed to the cards and asked, “Is this card you, Yasumoto-san?” he ended up pulling Yasumoto’s face card on his very first try, sending a washbasin crashing down on his head. Surprised by the outcome, Yasumoto blurted out, “You’re so weak lol.”
