Tomokazu Seki & Kikunosuke Toya Appointed as Friday MCs for Say You To Yo Asobi! Touched by a Surprise from Their Mentor Megumi Ogata

■Getting Closer to the Real Toya with New Segments! Demonstrating Adaptability with Physical Challenges

Also, in their first memorable "play" time, "New MC! Let's Get to Know Kikunosuke Toya SP," various segments were carried out to get closer to the real Toya.

In the "Show Us Your Overflowing Youth and Power! High-Speed Sit-up Challenge," he demonstrated his adaptability by responding to unreasonable requests, such as winking or making funny faces at the camera in front of him while doing sit-ups.

There was also a scene where he challenged the electric shock chair for the first time. He took on challenges like "Electric Shock if You Get One Wrong! Memorization Challenge," where he had to memorize 9 photos, and "Electric Shock if You Miss Even One Note! Trombone Challenge," where he had to play a song without sheet music, but he was met with a barrage of shocks. The studio was filled with laughter as he challenged them head-on while writhing in pain, saying, "It actually hurts!" The electric shock baptism continued in the following Baseball Game challenge, and Toya couldn't help but retort, "This has nothing to do with baseball!" Seki responded, "It's just a segment that wants to shock people," which sent the studio into fits of laughter.

In the following "Sponsorships Welcome! Let's Get to Know Kikunosuke's PR Skills!", he challenged a PR segment where he had to introduce a fictional product. He used items like a helmet and water, incorporating comedic improv and prop gags to promote it, and Seki praised his challenging spirit, saying, "It's great that you challenge things boldly."

■A Surprise Message from Mentor Megumi Ogata Also Arrived!

Furthermore, in the "Message from That Person! Let's Learn About Kikunosuke Toya's Origins!" segment, a surprise message arrived from Megumi Ogata, Toya's mentor from his training school days. Toya was surprised by the sudden appearance, saying, "Ehh!?", but also looked touched. Ogata looked back on Toya, saying, "He originally wanted to be a comedian" and "He used to play the trumpet," while giving him her seal of approval by saying, "Because he's that kind of 'Kiku,' he can even do live variety shows." Toya expressed his gratitude for the encouragement from his mentor, saying, "Thank you very much."

The Friday broadcast proceeded with high tension from start to finish. Due to Toya's all-out approach and Seki's free-spirited hosting, viewers left comments like "Toya-kun has no 'NG' zones lol," "Seki-san is having fun," "The chemistry is so good, you wouldn't think it's the first episode!", and "He's a talent for Yo Asobi lol," leading to great excitement. Keep an eye out for the unpredictable chemical reaction created by the veteran Seki and the fresh Toya in the future.
