Tomokazu Seki & Reiji Kawashima’s First Collaboration in a "BL Table Read"! Parting Ways on the Season Finale of Say You To Yo Asobi... Sharing Their Final Thoughts

Tomokazu Seki & Reiji Kawashima’s First BL Table Read Collaboration

Amidst the chaos, the final challenge was "Show Your Skills as a Voice Actor! The BL Reading Challenge." Kawashima, who had never worked with Seki on an anime project before, noted that this was the first time Seki would actually see him act. Despite his earlier struggles, he declared, "Acting is the one thing I can do!" and dove into their first table read together.

Set in a classroom after school, the exchange—peppered with ad-libs—gradually heated up. As the two maintained a sharp tempo despite the chaotic development, viewers were thrilled. Eventually, Seki blurted out, "Thaaat’s great!"

Seki went on to praise him, saying, "You threw in ad-libs right from the start; I could really feel your desire to have fun." While Kawashima finally earned his coveted "Great," he couldn't help but joke about the unexpected nature of their first acting collaboration, asking, "Are you for real?", drawing even more laughs.

After all the challenges, the true nature of Kawashima’s secret project was revealed to Seki, along with the final results: "Zero 'Amazings' and Two 'Greats'." When a lamenting Kawashima cried, "Damn it, I failed!" and "Can we do it again next week? Part 2 of Making Him Say Amazing," Seki teased, "If you had told me secretly, I would’ve said it at the right time (lol)." He then followed up warmly, saying, "You worked hard! There were definitely moments where I thought you were amazing." He praised Kawashima’s "all-out" attitude, leaving the studio in a warm atmosphere.

The Duo Dissolves... Seki: "I was worried at first, but..."

During the ending, the two exchanged messages. Addressing the fact that their partnership ends this season, Kawashima reflected deeply, saying, "I did today's show while savoring every moment. This past year has been truly fun." He added with determination, "I want to show Seki my proper acting and make him say 'Amazing' in the future, so I look forward to working with you again."

Seki also looked back, saying, "I was worried at first, but after taking the plunge and working with Kawashima-kun, it turned out great." He praised him, noting, "People around me are saying 'He's such a good kid.'" He ended with his signature teasing: "I heard you haven't returned the DVD you borrowed from one of my theater troupe members yet, so please give it back soon (lol)," bringing the house down one last time.

Finally, they thanked the viewers for the past year and closed with the customary "Say You Next Night." The Friday finale, filled with laughter and the bond of the duo, came to an end in a peaceful atmosphere.
