"I Want to Be Friends with Kensho!" Shugo Nakamura Successfully "Wins Over" Kensho Ono!? The "Let's Be Friends Challenge" Takes Place

Comedy Duo in Action!? Ono and Nakamura Grow Even Closer with the "Rubber Band Drop Challenge"

Next, they participated in the "Do You Like This Kind of Person? Or Not?" segment, which tends to bring people closer who share similar likes and dislikes. Staff presented scenarios like, "Someone who asks 'What are you doing on such-and-such day?' without reason," "Someone who wants to shake hands a lot (and has a strong grip)," and "Someone who invites friends you don't know to a drinking session," with Nakamura and Ono's values aligning on each topic. Their conversation filled with laughter further deepened their bond.

Finally, they took on the "Rubber Band Drop Challenge," a cooperative game well-known in "Yo Asobi." The game tests their trust as they both hold a rubber band in their mouths and release it simultaneously, trying to drop it in the middle between them. Ono first declared, "I'll say 'Ready, set...'," but released the rubber band before the signal as a surprise move.

Nakamura, surprised by Ono's mischievous grin and action, exclaimed, "Kenshooo!!" dropping the honorific in a mock scolding, which elicited laughter. Then, Nakamura executed a revenge surprise by releasing first. Their comedic timing was so on point that viewers commented, "Is this a comedy skit...w" and "They're already good friends w."

Thus, the "I Want to Get Closer Challenge" ended with laughter, and Ono concluded by saying, "I feel like we have become closer. I hope you'll come again for the next show. It would be great to do it with three people next time." Nakamura's face beamed with a big smile at these words, marking the successful end of Nakamura's "conquest" of Ono.
