On Friday, February 13th, 'Say You To Yo Asobi Friday【Tomokazu Seki × Reiji Kawashima】#32' was broadcast on ABEMA's "Anime LIVE Channel."

In this broadcast, they carried out a project titled "Troubled Man! Let's Think About Reiji Kawashima's Best." The content involved exploring various "bests" together with Tomokazu Seki to resolve Kawashima's concern of overthinking everything, wondering "this might not be the best."

■Just One Week After Overcoming His Natto Dislike! Reiji Kawashima Falls Deep into the "Natto Swamp"

First, following up on last week's natto episode where Kawashima mentioned "soy sauce and mustard might not be the best," they started by searching for "the best natto combination." With the natto project continuing for two consecutive weeks, Kawashima quipped, "Has this been a natto show since last week? Is the teacher still here?" Seki responded with "It's already become a natto show," and the studio was quickly filled with laughter.

After that, they immediately moved on to testing. Kawashima, who overcame his dislike of natto last week, confessed, "I've been eating the natto I received every day." However, he revealed that because it was "too good a natto," he couldn't do bold arrangements, so this time he boldly challenged various seasonings.

First, saying "kimchi natto goes well together," they added kimchi base, and Seki immediately screamed, "Delicious! The besttttt!" With the flow of finding the "best" so quickly, Kawashima panicked, "Already found it? Decided?" However, as soon as Kawashima took a bite, he also devoured his rice, exclaiming "Yum! The besttttt!" creating even more laughter in the studio.

After that, they tested ponzu, mentsuyu, sugar, olive oil, curry powder, and more in succession, seriously searching for "the best natto" with comments like "Maybe something with more punch is better," "How about this?" and "Surprisingly good." Among them, "sugar" received an unexpectedly positive reaction. To Seki, who was impressed saying "The potential of natto is amazing," Kawashima also nodded vigorously and quipped to himself, "Natto is awesome! I hated it until last week, you know?" He showed signs of not just overcoming it, but completely stepping into the "natto swamp."

After numerous tests, Seki's best was determined to be "kimchi base," and Kawashima's best was surprisingly "sugar." After thoroughly enjoying the natto, Seki said, "Wow, I'm so full. I never eat this much natto! I might be good without natto for a month (lol)," continuing to draw laughs until the end.
