This broadcast, marking the finale of the "Connect" segment for this season, brought together MCs Tomoko Kaneda and Sobii, monthly MC Takuya Sato, and guests Tomokazu Seki, Showtaro Morikubo, Chiaki Takahashi, Shugo Nakamura, and Yusuke Shirai—the "Yoasobi Family" members who have energized the show throughout the year. The episode was packed with excitement during the "Roulette Talk" project, where members fired off questions they "could only ask here." In the ending segment, the future of Kaneda and Sobii for the upcoming season was also announced.

Studio in Shock Over Tomokazu Seki’s Asset Management Talk!? Exclusive Stories Emerge During "Designated Roulette"

The program began with a talk segment titled "From This Person to That Person! Designated Roulette." A roulette wheel determined a questioner who would then ask a respondent a "question you can only ask here" to drive the conversation.

First, Shugo Nakamura asked Takuya Sato, who recently announced the release of his photo book, "What is the sexiest pose in your photo book?" Sato replied bashfully, "We’re voice actors, so we don’t have a huge variety of poses," before adding, "People think showing skin is sexy, but surprisingly, 'hiding a little' is actually sexier. Like undoing a button just a bit." He then demonstrated a pose showing a glimpse of his collarbone. The studio erupted in cheers of "Ooooh!" and even Nakamura agreed, saying, "It’s not about showing everything; it’s about the 'peek-a-boo' effect!"

Later, Yusuke Shirai asked Tomokazu Seki, "What is your recommended asset management method?" sparking jokes of "How scandalous!" from the studio. Seki then revealed his personal investment strategy: "I was told many things, but in the end, I went with 'gold'." He surprised everyone by stating, "It’s worth about double what it was when I bought it," leaving the cast in visible shock. Nakamura even got excited, saying, "I’m going to go buy some gold on my way home!" as the "money talk" brought massive energy to the studio.

Furthermore, a question from Showtaro Morikubo to Shugo Nakamura sparked a discussion about "the ideal image of a person in their 40s." Nakamura admitted, "I’m the type who doesn't think too deeply about things a few years away," questioning if there was much point in planning out the future in detail. Morikubo shared his own stance, saying, "I’m the type who calculates backward. While my vision changes as I update myself, I can’t move forward without an image of where I'm going." When Takahashi asked, "Is your life going according to your image?" Morikubo replied instantly, "Not even by a millimeter! I mean, for starters, I never even thought I’d become a voice actor!" Seki’s follow-up remark, "Does that mean thinking about it is a waste of time?" caused Morikubo to realize, "You’re right!" leading to a hilarious conclusion that left the studio in laughter.

Additionally, in response to a question from Sato, Sobii—who served as Kaneda’s partner for the first time as an MC this season—revealed an unexpected piece of advice previously received from Morikubo. Furthermore, a question from Morikubo to Takahashi led to various stories ranging from private "night play" memories to surprising romantic episodes. With a series of behind-the-scenes stories that could only be heard there, the studio remained highly energized from start to finish.
