Yoko Hikasa Goes on a Rampage! A Wild Opening with a "Vow to Destroy Yo Asobi"

This marks Hikasa’s first time serving as a regular MC. When Serizawa pleaded, "Hikasa-san, please don’t go home," Hikasa brought up her public pledge to "leave during the first episode," drawing laughter with her hilariously blunt remarks like "I want to go home already; I go to bed at 11:00 PM." Furthermore, Hikasa—who has appeared many times as a guest—shared her shocking ambition for her new role: "Yo Asobi hits its 10th anniversary next year. I’m here to destroy it from the inside so it never reaches that milestone. I came to end it this year." The comment section erupted in excitement with fans shouting, "You're the best, big sis!" showing off the high energy typical of a Tuesday broadcast right from the start.

In the segment "What Should We Play Tonight?", they held a "Tuesday MC Vow" ceremony. While Serizawa announced her goal as "I want to do waterfall training!!", Hikasa immediately shut it down with a quip, "That’s basically R-18" and "You'll be see-through." Hikasa also unleashed her "rage act" on the real-time captions being updated during the show. When a caption teased her with "You too, Yoko," she fired back with a genuine scolding. Meanwhile, Hikasa’s own vow was "I won't get angry!!" However, she immediately snapped her flip chart over her knee and declared, "If I’m going to destroy Yo Asobi, I’m going to destroy the equipment too," leaving the studio in stitches. Her "complete meltdown" despite her vow sent the comment section into a frenzy.

Did Yoko Hikasa Really Go Home Mid-Broadcast!? Chaos in the Studio

To make matters crazier, when the show returned from a commercial break at 11:00 PM, Hikasa was nowhere to be found in the studio. The comment section descended into chaos with messages like "She actually kept her promise lol" and "She went home hahahaha." A short while later, Hikasa returned, revealing, "I made it halfway home, but the staff..." The unexpected turn of events left the studio roaring with laughter.

Hikasa's Deadpan Response to Serizawa's "Cute Reading": "Reject the Segment!"

In the latter half of the program, they debuted a new corner called "Is it not enough to read it cutely?". In this segment, they had to read words that are far from "cute" in an adorable way. When Serizawa performed a reading of "Konden Einen Shizaihou" (The Law of Permanent Ownership of Newly Cultivated Land) with cute voice effects, Hikasa instinctively covered her face and simply said, "Serizawa, listen to me: just say no to this." When Serizawa then challenged the prompt "Today's Nikkei Stock Average Closing Price," the studio and comments exploded over Hikasa's "deadpan face (lol)." Hikasa’s own attempt was carried over to the next episode. With a Tuesday lineup that showed off a completely unrestrained and free-spirited start, the new MC structure for "Say You To Yo Asobi 2026" will continue to be announced in the coming days.
