"He was such a great big brother": Yu Serizawa bids farewell to Natsuki Hanae as he graduates from the show. Fans moved to tears by their smiling double-peace sign photo.

A photo featuring voice actress Yu Serizawa and Natsuki Hanae—who recently announced his graduation as the Thursday MC for the ABEMA variety show "Say You To Yo Asobi"—was shared on Serizawa’s official X account. The image, showing the duo posing with double-peace signs, is currently creating a major buzz online.

The released photo is a two-shot of Serizawa and Hanae standing side-by-side, both smiling brightly with double-peace signs. Hanae is dressed in a casual style, wearing a black and khaki two-tone top paired with loose-fitting wide-leg denim pants. Serizawa, on the other hand, looks adorable in a red dress accented with black knee-high socks and pumps. The image perfectly captures their close friendship. The post was accompanied by a bittersweet message: "Hanae-san... graduating... so sad!! He was a great big brother who always treated me kindly whenever we met."

"Say You To Yo Asobi" is a popular variety show broadcast daily on weekdays on ABEMA's "Anime LIVE Channel," featuring famous voice actors as rotating daily hosts. Both Hanae and Serizawa served as MCs for "Say You To Yo Asobi 2025," but during the March 5th broadcast, Hanae announced his graduation from the program.

Fans flooded the post with emotional comments: "I loved seeing these two together on Yoasobi, so I’m really sad to see him go," "That 'subtle kindness' comment really hits home," and "I loved the drunk Natsuki-san who actually fell asleep during the Yoasobi year-end party." Many expressed a mix of sadness and joy: "It's so heartbreaking that he announced it with a smile," "Hanae-kun's graduation is just too sad," "This duo always reminds me of Twin Star Exorcists," and "I’m just so happy to see a two-shot of Yu-chan and Hana-chan."
