■ Practically Comedians!? Yū Serizawa & Maria Naganawa Go Wild with Improvised Acting!

In the new season, already six months in, the SeryMari duo, who had been showcasing their "cuteness," declared, "In today's world, being cute isn't enough!" and launched the "Being Cute Isn't Enough - We'll Show You Various SeryMari!" segment. The project proceeded with the two drawing character and theme cards from a box and performing improvisationally.

First, Serizawa took on the "wild" character, and Naganawa took on the "cool" character for a Black Beard game showdown. Despite being perplexed with "What is wild!?", Serizawa proceeded by swinging a sword saying "It's my turn!" The contrast with Naganawa's cool character calmly progressing the game stood out, making both the studio and viewers burst into laughter. Comments from viewers included "This is too variety show-like lol," "What's wild??," and "They're basically comedians now." As the game dragged on without a conclusion, Serizawa, showing a genuine expression, said, "Pulling a theme like wild, you can't be quiet with such a mental state...," "It's long... it doesn't end... why?" When the game finally ended, she pleaded, "Please don't exhaust me anymore!"

Next, Serizawa challenged the "handsome" character, and Naganawa took on the "party person" character for a "Look This Way, Hoi" showdown. Serizawa showcased a deep, handsome voice with "Let's play 'Look This Way, Hoi' with me. But... can you look away from me?" while Naganawa fully embraced her party person role with a cheerful "Yay! I'm having fun~." Positive reactions flooded in with comments like "Handsome Seriko is great!" and "Gyaru Maria-chan is cute," as well as "Is this a couple's skit?? lol."
