Kensho Ono & Natsuki Hanae Collaborate with 7-Eleven! Creative Ideas Overflow in Serious Original Onigiri Development

On ABEMA, "Say You To Yo Asobi Thursday [Kensho Ono × Natsuki Hanae] #33" was broadcast on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at 10 PM.

This broadcast featured a "7-Eleven Collaboration SP." This time, they focused on "onigiri," with Kensho Ono and Natsuki Hanae seriously developing original onigiri, resulting in ideas that even surprised the staff in charge. Furthermore, immediately after the broadcast, the PPV-exclusive location shoot "Say You To Yo Asobi Walkers 2025" Thursday edition was also released, delivering the duo's wish-fulfillment shoots with Ono's request for "pendulum art" and Hanae's request for "shoulder stiffness relief."

Ono: "I went with what boys would like" Hanae: "I want to make a black onigiri" Taking on the challenge of serious "original onigiri development"!

In this collaboration, they featured "onigiri" from among the numerous 7-Eleven products. First, they welcomed two staff members in charge and delved deep into the behind-the-scenes story of new product creation. The duo showed great interest in the secrets not usually heard, such as how ideas are born.

After that, they conducted the main project "Let's Think of Original Onigiri." Ono and Hanae each came up with new onigiri fillings and actually made them. First, Ono devised onigiri that emphasized volume and punch with "Niku Miso Takuan," "Ninniku Moyashi Kakuni," and "Aburi Mentaiko Mayonnaise Truffle." The staff commented "very interesting" to Ono, who said he "went with combinations that boys would seem to like." Particularly regarding "Ninniku Moyashi Kakuni," although there had been similar products in the past with different ingredients, attention was drawn to its punchy flavor.

Meanwhile, what Hanae devised were combinations with outstanding impact from their naming: "Ikasumi Karasumi," "Butaniku Beni Shoga," and "Wasabi Shio." Especially regarding "Ikasumi Karasumi," Hanae thought specifically even about the visual, saying "I want to make it a black onigiri and shave karasumi into it." The staff expressed surprise at this, commenting "the idea is innovative" and "it's memorable including the name." It was an idea thoroughly thought out not just in taste but also in appearance and name.

After that, they moved on to tasting time. First, Hanae tasted "Ikasumi Karasumi," which had drawn attention from the ingredient announcement. The staff also commented "very delicious" to Hanae, who spoke with confidence, saying "Yes, this works! This is delicious. This might be it." Also, Ono tried "Aburi Mentaiko Mayonnaise Truffle" and said with a smile, "The more you chew, the more everything blends together! I highly recommend this!" The staff also showed satisfaction with the luxurious flavor where the grainy texture of mentaiko, the richness of mayonnaise, and the aroma of truffle overlapped.

In addition, the duo enjoyed the project by tasting one after another, including "Niku Miso Takuan," "Butaniku Beni Shoga," and newly devised "Gyoza no Tane Ninniku" and "Ikasumi Shutou." Finally, when they asked the two staff members about "the ideas that left a particular impression," comments were given such as "I was surprised because I never thought of putting truffle on it" and "Ikasumi Karasumi is interesting in both appearance and name," and the Ono and Hanae combo also showed great excitement. It became a highly fulfilling collaboration project where they seriously engaged with the professionals on site.

Also in the program, they conducted "Viewers vs Ono Hanae Food Report Battle." Ono and Hanae each ate onigiri and expressed only the scenery and emotions without directly saying the ingredient names or flavors. Using this as a hint, the person not eating and the viewers played a game of guessing the ingredients from four choices. Then, Hanae delivered a "poetic food report" firing off grand words such as "universe," "stars," and "mother of life," while Ono presented a "story-style food report" featuring a harbor and an old man, and the studio was instantly engulfed in laughter. Furthermore, Hanae's brilliant deduction also exploded, and the studio showed great excitement in the food report battle where the duo's expressive and deductive abilities shined.
