Yu Serizawa Breaks Down in Tears at Birthday Special... Maria Naganawa: "I Thought She's Just a Perfect Woman" [Say You To Yo Asobi]

Gradually unable to hold back, Serizawa began shedding tears. At a message touching on balancing being a voice actress and an idol, which read "I think balancing both must be difficult, but I respect Seriko for managing it wonderfully," she expressed her gratitude saying "Thank you." Comments from viewers also filled with blessings for Serizawa, saying "Ah, I'm tearing up too," "She's working so hard," and "Happy birthday truly."

While joking, "Maria reads it cutely, and I'm happy about everyone's messages, but really... aren't I crying too quickly?", she smiled and said, "Some people became fans through Yoasobi, but Yoasobi isn't just about cuteness, it has a strong variety show element, so I think there are moments when I look a bit ugly, yet there are people who still come to like me, and I really thought it was worth doing. Thank you."

In the latter half of the show, they conducted "Praise Me Lots! Seriko's Good Points" where Naganawa praised Serizawa's good points using a dummy head microphone. In homage to Serizawa's love for cats, if she could continue praising for 2 minutes and 22 seconds, the challenge would be successful and they could get king crab right there.

To Naganawa saying "So that I can deliver crab to Yu-chan, Marinya will do her best nya," fully immersed as a cat, Serizawa also showed consideration with cat-like speech endings, saying "I'm worried if I'm causing trouble usually... If you reach your limit at like 1 minute, you can say there's nothing more and wrap it up, okay. You can say you can't do it anymore nya."

When the challenge started, the first thing Naganawa mentioned was Serizawa's kindness. After straightforwardly praising "She's always considerate and I think she's a wonderful woman," Naganawa continued spinning honest words like "Another thing I love is her beautiful skin. I always think this is what they mean by egg-like skin" and "Her face is incredibly small and I was surprised."

When she said "When we went out to eat together, I saw her from behind and thought she might be an actress. At that time, I panicked a bit thinking why didn't I wear better clothes," Serizawa also laughed out loud, remembering "That time?" when they had the meal.
