Daisuke Namikawa Slathered in Lotion for Penalty Game! Looking Back on the Year with Taku Yashiro in the "Say You To Yo Asobi" Wednesday Finale

On Wednesday, March 18, at 10:00 PM, #36 of "Say You To Yo Asobi Wednesday" was broadcast on ABEMA.

This broadcast, the season finale for Wednesday, featured a special project titled "Let’s Look Back on Namikawa and Yashiro’s Night Play!" to review highlights from the current season. However, as a penalty for Daisuke Namikawa’s loss in the previous final showdown, the entire studio ended up covered in "warm lotion," leading to a chaotic turn of events. From the "Namikawa & Yashiro Highlight Quiz" and "Prediction Quiz! Namikawa Choice-ke" (exploring Namikawa’s habits) to a segment brought in by the AD, "AD Idomukai’s Frustrations," the special was filled with the laughter and mishaps typical of Wednesday nights until the very end.

The program was supposed to begin with a poignant talk reflecting on the season, but instead, it started in total chaos with a mysterious liquid dripping from Namikawa’s face and him pouring it over his own head. This was actually the penalty for Namikawa losing the "Namikawa & Yashiro: The Final Battle!" held the previous week. The studio floor and sofa were slick with "warm lotion," causing the two hosts to slide off every time they tried to sit. The opening was filled with bursts of laughter as they struggled to stay upright, shouting, "I can’t stop sliding!" and "This is dangerous!" lol.

During their talk, Taku Yashiro complained that Namikawa hadn't noticed his brand-new haircut, to which Namikawa bluntly confessed, "I’ll never notice, for as long as I live." After mentioning that "Say You To Yo Asobi Saturday" MC Showtaro Morikubo also failed to notice, Namikawa revealed the shocking fact that he "sees people’s faces as silhouettes." Yashiro’s surprised reaction—"Like a culprit in Detective Conan!?"—drew big laughs from the studio.
