Shotaro Morikubo Reunites with His Middle School Ex-Girlfriend "Cindy"? An All-Too-Realistic Romance Depicted Through AI Chat

Episode #26 of "Say You To Yo Asobi Saturday" was broadcast on ABEMA on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at 9:00 PM.

For this episode, Masaya Fukunishi was absent due to illness, so Shotaro Morikubo and Nobuhiko Okamoto appeared as a duo. Continuing from the previous week, they carried out a tie-up project with "CookieChat," an app that allows users to enjoy conversations with AI-powered characters. This app is a service that enables users to have short message-style conversations with characters tailored to their preferences.

At the beginning, when Okamoto asked him, "Have you been experiencing youth lately?", Morikubo revealed his private life, saying, "I have been! I'm going on dates these days. On my days off, with my daughter," which warmed up the studio. The program then implemented a project titled "Youth Again! Shotaro's Ideal Girlfriend and Lovey-Dovey Life" for Morikubo. Morikubo specified his ideal appearance in detail: "long black hair, tanned skin, sporty, wide eyes, sharp facial line, slim build." Morikubo praised the visual of the generated beauty, saying, "This might be good! Good!"
