'Say You To Yo Asobi' Confirmed for 9th Year! Natsuki Hanae Screams "You Guys Betrayed Me!" 14 MCs Go Wild [Event Report]

The special event 'Say You To Yo Asobi Festival 2025' was held on Saturday, February 28th at Bellesalle Shinjuku Grand and was exclusively live-streamed on "ABEMA PPV."

Under the theme "Because Voice Actors Are Beautiful," the event featured 14 MCs including Hiroki Yasumoto, Chiaki Kobayashi, Hiro Shimono, Taku Yashiro, Kensho Ono (daytime session only), Natsuki Hanae (daytime session only), Tomokazu Seki (nighttime session only), Reiji Kawashima, Showtaro Morikubo, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Masaya Fukunishi, Yu Serizawa, Maria Naganawa, Tomoko Kaneda, and the show's official character Sobii. They showcased the show's signature "asobi" (playfulness) across two performances: daytime and nighttime.

■Natsuki Hanae Screams! Reiji Kawashima Delivers Perfect "Air Biribiri"

The first segment was "Which Is the Answer? Biribiri Runway," using the show's signature biribiri (electric shock) chair. The MCs predicted the majority opinion from viewer surveys, and selected representatives walked down a special runway in the audience seating. If they guessed wrong, the biribiri chair set up at the back of the stage would activate - a tension-filled game.

During the daytime performance, the MCs made serious predictions on topics like "Which do you find more beautiful? Your oshi's tears or your oshi's sweat?" Hanae, who walked the runway as a representative, sat in the biribiri chair with a confident expression, but the result was incorrect. He screamed "Owwww!" and "You guys betrayed me!" which enveloped the venue in laughter.

Furthermore, when Shimono and Morikubo challenged the runway, Shimono became a victim of the biribiri. While writhing in agony, he "beautifully" draped his jacket over his shoulder and struck a pose, prompting Yasumoto to quip, "You seem kind of happy about it."

During the nighttime performance, trouble occurred when the biribiri chair unexpectedly malfunctioned. As confusion filled the air, Morikubo unreasonably demanded that representative Kawashima "try pretending to be shocked" - an "air biribiri." His perfect "air biribiri" reaction, jumping up from the chair shouting "Ahhh!" and "Isn't it stronger today?", earned great praise from the MCs with shouts of "Well done!", and the venue grew even more excited.

After that, Yashiro, Fukunishi and others also fell victim to the biribiri chair, and the venue was swept into a whirlwind of laughter. With striking poses on the runway and appeals to the audience, it became a segment that exploded with fan service and "beautiful (?)" physical comedy.
