Announcement of Next Season's Plans... Miyu Irino to Graduate as MC

And at the ending, the future plans of the two for next season were also announced. Shimono revealed he would continue as MC, while Irino revealed he would graduate as MC at the end of this season. Upon the announcement, when Shimono reflected, "Well, it was fun. Today was fun, and it's always been fun," Irino also said, "It was a year where I felt like I saw a new side of myself" and "It was really fun. That's precisely because it was with Shimono-san. Where I could dive in, I could dive in, and where I thought I couldn't go, Shimono-san would dive in. I think we achieved a good balance," expressing gratitude to his partner.

Furthermore, Shimono commented with laughter, "We're both elementary schoolers (lol). It's because we had this level of energy, right?" They showed the characteristic back-and-forth of the Shimono-Irino duo until the very end, creating a moment that made the Tuesday bond felt.

At the end of the program, it was also announced that "Say You To Yo Asobi Connect" will be broadcast live on Saturday, March 7th. In addition to MCs Tomoko Kaneda, Sobii, and monthly MC Takuya Sato, guests will include Tomokazu Seki, Showtaro Morikubo, Chiaki Takahashi, Shugo Nakamura, and Yusuke Shirai.
