Reiji Kawashima Screams "This Is the Craziest Thing Ever" as Electric Shock Malfunction Causes Pandemonium!? Tomoko Kaneda Gets Treated by Tasuku Hatanaka: "My Juniors Earn More Than Me"

On ABEMA's "Anime LIVE Channel," the broadcast of "Say You To Yo Asobi Friday [Tomoko Kaneda x Sobi x Reiji Kawashima] #25" aired on Friday, November 21st.

In this broadcast, "Connect MCs" Tomoko Kaneda and Sobi appeared as substitute MCs for Tomokazu Seki, who was absent. The night was filled with excitement featuring the "Spendthrift vs. Frugal: Sense of Money Talk," which explored the differences in values between the big spender Kawashima and the penny-pincher Kaneda, as well as the "Yo Asobi Liar 'Weakest King' Battle," where Kawashima (who is bad at lying) and Kaneda engaged in various psychological games.

■A Fake Tomokazu Seki Appears!? Tomoko Kaneda Tearfully Complains "Juniors Earn More," Challenging the Norm of Seniors Paying

Tomoko Kaneda and Sobi appeared as substitute MCs for this broadcast. At the start of the program, Kaneda fully impersonated Seki, matching his hairstyle and outfit from his promotional photo, and passionately acted the part saying, "Kawashima-kun, has your narration improved recently? I worry about you every day," and "Tomokazu loves Reijiru."

Then, the real Tomokazu Seki unexpectedly barged in via a remote appearance from Sendai, leaving Kawashima confused: "There are two Seki-sans!?"

After Seki told them, "I leave today in your hands," Kaneda immediately declared a takeover (?), shouting, "It's Kaneda's Friday!" The night's Yo Asobi kicked off with high energy that didn't feel like a mere substitution.

The program first conducted the "Spendthrift vs. Frugal: Sense of Money Talk," a Yes/No discussion on financial senses between Kawashima, a known spendthrift who "buys clothes until his bank balance is on the edge," and Kaneda, a frugal person who "gets super happy about 100-yen discounts at the supermarket."

For the first question, "Do you spend more than 1,000 yen on lunch?", the answers immediately split with Kawashima saying "Yes" and Kaneda saying "No." When Kawashima explained, "I'd go up to 2,000 yen," and "Recently, just a cafe latte and a scone costs 1,000 yen," Kaneda delivered a sharp retort: "You're lying, right!? You eat such fancy stuff!?"

Additionally, on the question "Do you actually not want to treat your juniors when you go out to eat?", Kaneda answered "Yes." She made a tearful appeal: "If I had the money, I'd want to treat them. But recently, it's clear that my juniors are earning more than me! Just because someone is a senior doesn't mean they have money!" She then declared flatly, "I don't put on airs! If a junior treats me, I can honestly say 'Thank you!'" She revealed an episode where she was actually treated by her Connect partner from the previous season, Tasuku Hatanaka. Kawashima and Sobi praised him, saying, "Tasuku~!" and "So cool!"
