Voice Actors Showtaro Morikubo & Masaya Fukunishi Cry Out in Pain During Fitness Gear Challenge! Nobuhiko Okamoto Retorts: "What are you making the veteran do?!"

On ABEMA, Say You To Yo Asobi Saturday #23 was broadcast from 9 PM on Saturday, November 8, 2025.

Due to the many eating segments on the show that raise concerns about health and physique, this episode was titled "Let's Get Physical! Health Machine Challenge!" and saw the three hosts attempt games using various fitness gadgets.

Unexpected Accidents Abound in the Latest Hula-Hoop Style Challenge

The three challenged themselves with a new apparatus: a weighted belt, similar to a hula hoop, worn around the waist. The goal was to swing an attached ball around the core to exercise the midsection. As soon as Okamoto put on the gear, he began wildly swinging his hips. Gaining momentum, he started twirling the attached ball and began a light-footed dance, when—wham!—the ball suddenly came undone, causing the waist apparatus itself to fly off in a shocking mishap. Okamoto quickly reacted, looking flustered, "This thing is dangerous!"

The trio then used this hula-hoop-like device to take on the "Twirl! Balloon Popping Challenge," where they had to pop balloons by vigorously swinging their hips. The goal was to pop a total of 20 balloons in three 30-second rounds. Okamoto, as the first challenger, started off at a snappy pace, popping two, three, then four balloons suspended lower down. However, he struggled with the balloons hung higher up, failing to pop a single one before the timer ran out. The ABEMA comment section was flooded with viewer remarks like, "The top ones are too high lol," and "No way they can reach that, haha."
