Jin Ogasawara & Chiaki Kobayashi Passionately Discuss the Appeal of Anime Adaptation 'Dark Moon'! Studio Erupts in Laughter at Hiroki Yasumoto's "Hiroko" Transformation

On ABEMA, 'Say You To Yo Asobi Monday [Hiroki Yasumoto × Chiaki Kobayashi] #32' was broadcast on Monday, February 9th at 10 PM. In this broadcast, Jin Ogasawara was welcomed as a guest, and together with Kobayashi, they conducted a special feature diving deep into the appeal of the anime 'Dark Moon: The Blood Altar.'

'Dark Moon: The Blood Altar' is an anime adaptation of a massively popular webtoon based on HYBE's original story. This work, created in collaboration with the seven-member global group ENHYPEN, depicts the fateful story of seven vampire boys harboring secrets and a transfer student girl named Suha, set at the prestigious Decelis Academy. When the introduction VTR played during the program, Yasumoto joked, "What I understood is that it seems to be vampire-related (lol)," and when Kobayashi responded with "You're really going for it," Yasumoto immediately quipped back, "200% of people watching right now would get that!" showing their perfectly synced banter from the opening.

Next, Ogasawara and Kobayashi, who serve as main cast members, introduced their characters. When Ogasawara said about Solon, the character he plays, "I'm probably the coolest one among them," Kobayashi sharply pointed out, "Don't say that about yourself!" Furthermore, when Kobayashi explained about Noah, the character he plays, "He's always calm, but among the seven, he's the youngest... and sometimes people say he's good at acting spoiled," this time Yasumoto advised, "I'm saying this out of concern, but it's better not to call yourself 'good at acting spoiled'... (lol)," and the studio was filled with laughter. Yasumoto ultimately praised the work as "tickling one's inner chuunibyou," expressing anticipation for its dark fantasy worldview.
