At the beginning of the recorded live event, Tomokazu Seki and Reiji Kawashima made their entrance from the center of the audience, responding with a lively "Yes!" to the audience's shout of “Let’s Party with Yo Asobi!” As the regular Friday money special, they held the segment “See Through the World’s Finances! Money Awareness Survey Quiz!” In this segment, the financial sensibilities of the audience were polled with Yes/No questions, and the two MCs predicted which answer would be the majority. For each correct answer, they could win a prize of 500 yen.

Eagerly saying, “Let’s try to earn about 50,000 yen!” the two tackled questions about financial values such as, “Do you pick up even a 1 yen coin?” “How much have you spent on your favorite?” and “If it’s a job you love, would you continue even at half the salary?” In particular, to the question “Do you save regularly every month?” Seki confessed, “I didn’t save a single yen until I was 40. I just spent everything!” leaving Kawashima shocked.

Other questions included “Have you ever gotten into investing or stocks?” “If someone offered you 1,000,000 yen to shave your head, would you do it?” and “Is money more important than friendship?” The MCs engaged in empathetic conversations with the audience. As a result, Seki won 4,500 yen and Kawashima won 5,500 yen. Seki then handed “pocket money” to Kawashima, telling him, “You can have this too, use it to buy some clothes,” prompting a round of applause for Seki’s “dad move.”

In the second half of the show, they also held the “Autograph Competition! Audience Cash Grab Challenge.” Three audience members took the stage to try grabbing as much cash as they could, with autographed colored boards by Seki and Kawashima awarded according to the amount grabbed, making for an exciting development.

At the conclusion, Kawashima said, “It was a ton of fun to see everyone’s reactions firsthand!” and the show finished with the call-and-response, “Say You Next Night~.”
