■Is Chiaki Kobayashi the "New Nobuhiko Okamoto"? Hiroki Yasumoto Makes His Case
In the poll ranking predictions, when asked "Which male voice actor seems like they would do a two-person scarf wrap? (Options: Chiaki Kobayashi, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Daisuke Namikawa, Hiroki Yasumoto)," both predicted "1st place: Okamoto, 2nd place: Kobayashi, 3rd place: Namikawa, 4th place: Yasumoto."
Yasumoto declared "If it's not this, the viewers are crazy!" and cited Nobuhiko Okamoto's "monetization ability" as the reason. He shared his unique perspective on Okamoto as usual, saying "Okamoto can alchemize 'cuteness' and convert it into money. Even in a situation like a two-person scarf wrap, he can make himself look cute and cha-ching cha-ching," and continued, "And there's a guy who admires that... that's Chiaki Kobayashi."
Although Ishiya tilted his head saying "I have a cool image of Chiaki-kun though...," Yasumoto passionately argued "No, not at all! He's (like) Okamoto. I call him the new Nobuhiko Okamoto." In the end, the viewer votes matched their predictions, and Yasumoto showed a smug face saying "I'm happy that the viewers understand."
■The Usual "Cheating" Suspicion? Major Turmoil in the Shooting Game
In the shooting-style game where they exchanged earned points for lucky beans, there was a turbulent development. Yasumoto got a "frying pan" on his first try, but showed a reaction typical of someone who loves cooking, saying "I don't need it! I have a really good one..." After that, he threw a ball aiming for the grand prize "certificate," but the target didn't budge at all... Yasumoto complained about the show's signature (?) "immovable target," saying "See! It's the same as always!"
Ishiya, who followed, steadily gained momentum by winning beauty and lifestyle goods such as hand cream and bath salts, but his shot aiming for the certificate also misfired. Even Ishiya raised his voice suspecting foul play by the production side, saying "That's not right!" and the studio erupted in laughter.
