■The Live Broadcast Started with an Unexpected Ogiri Contest!? Tomoko Kaneda's Unique Answers Draw Comments Like "As Expected of a Genius" and "Her Thinking is Different"

On the live broadcast on Saturday, January 31st, an impromptu ogiri contest was held right from the opening. While complaints flew around such as "We came here to eat sweets today!" and "I didn't hear anything about ogiri!", a prompt was given: "What kind of Yo Asobi would you hate? What Yo Asobi would that be?" The cast members answered one after another, albeit with confusion.

First, Otsubo, who raised her hand enthusiastically, answered "A Yo Asobi where we play with cardboard boxes for the entire hour and a half," to which Mikami, who had previously experienced "90 minutes of cardboard crafting" on Yo Asobi, screamed "Ahhhhh wait a minute, the trauma is coming back!" Furthermore, Okamoto also brought up the punishment game where he "ended up in an indecent state" as ogiri material, and reminisced saying "That was shocking!", among other answers based on real experiences. The studio was instantly enveloped in laughter.

Also, when Kaneda answered "Doing flamingo dance from 4 AM," it was revealed to be a mix-up with hula dance. Shirai and Yonaga delivered collective retorts saying "As expected of a genius" and "Her thinking is different," and the excitement soared even before the sweets battle began.

■A Sweet Tooth Battle Erupts in the Buzzer Quiz! The Foodie Voice Actors Fall Into Chaos in Front of Sweets

The program then held an "Exquisite Sweets Battle! Buzzer Quiz Competition." The rule was that whoever answered the quiz correctly could choose one panel with a number written on it and obtain the sweets indicated there.

However, at this point, Okamoto made the shocking confession that "I have a medical checkup tomorrow, so I can't eat." A special rule was established that if Okamoto answered correctly, "Team Okamoto (the staff)" would actually eat the sweets, and the studio instantly descended into chaos. Okamoto himself lamented "I just came here to cheer" and "Really, what did I even come here for!", inducing laughter.

In the quiz, a wide range of questions were presented from general knowledge to intro quizzes, and exquisite sweets such as flan, waffles, macarons, strawberry tarts, Shingen mochi, and chiffon cakes appeared one after another. There were scenes where Okamoto, who couldn't eat even if he answered correctly, made unreasonable demands saying "Those who want to eat should cutely beg to the camera," and developments where Yonaga, who showed his all-out begging, won sweets over prominent female voice actors, among continuous laughter. In the final stages, there was a scene where they shared sweets with "ahhhn," and a moment where everyone followed up on Okamoto, who was the only one who couldn't eat and had a blank expression on his face, and the studio was enveloped in a warm atmosphere.
