■"You can do anything!" Okamoto's "empty" interview gets bombarded with retorts! Chaos ensues with a punishment game
In the following main segment, "Perfect Match! Okamoto & Yashiro's Relationship Test!", before testing their bond, they reviewed their pre-show MC interviews. However, it was revealed that when asked what he wanted Yashiro to do, Okamoto had answered, "He can do anything. I wonder what he should do." He received a sharp retort from Yashiro, saying, "In the end, you didn't say anything."
On the other hand, it turned out that Yashiro's interview response was also mysterious: "I'm really happy to be able to do this with the partner of a wonderful partner, well, it's like that every year, but it's like, at the beginning, we're kind of approaching each other, maybe not..." Okamoto fiercely counterattacked at the overly detached expression "partner of a wonderful partner" and the unfinished sentence, saying, "Isn't my existence a bit distant?" and "I don't know what this guy wants to do." Their unreserved relationship, where they mercilessly teased each other's answers, was glimpsed.
During the relationship test that followed, for the question "Where did you first meet?", Okamoto answered "Otomate event (that one where Hiro Shimono was)," and Yashiro answered "Audition," resulting in a complete mismatch. As a punishment, they had to eat "Salmiakki," known as the "world's worst-tasting gummy." Although Okamoto, who is on a low-fat diet, tried it with a positive attitude, he immediately writhed in agony. Yashiro also grimaced and hurriedly washed it down with tea. When Okamoto described the intense taste as "like pickled plums that have been fermented and slightly rotted," Yashiro greatly empathized, and their chaotic reactions caused laughter in the studio.
In the next question, "What is the co-starring work that left the biggest impression on you?", Okamoto answered "Raven of the Inner Palace," and Yashiro answered "Rurouni Kenshin," resulting in another mismatch and another punishment. However, Okamoto praised Yashiro's appearances in "Pokémon" (as Friede) and "B-PROJECT" (as Haruhi Teramitsu), saying, "The resonance of your low tones and the pressure of your voice are wonderful." There was also an emotional moment where Yashiro was touched, saying, "To us, you were someone we admired, so I'm really happy to hear that from you."
Finally, the two ate the second Salmiakki for the punishment game, but a happening occurred where Yashiro suddenly started gagging and couldn't move. It was a desperate prank set up by Yashiro and the staff with the desire to "see a new side of Okamoto, who usually doesn't seem easily shaken," but Okamoto revealed that he had immediately seen through the prank based on Yashiro's unnatural gagging sounds and the unnatural behavior of the program staff. As a result, from the very first episode, Okamoto's observational skills and high variety show aptitude prevailed.
