Hiroki Yasumoto & Junya Enoki Scream Over Sea Squirt Biology! Related to Humans? "Are We Sea Squirts?!" Shocking Truth Revealed

On May 4 at 10:00 PM, "Say You To Yo Asobi Monday [Hiroki Yasumoto x Junya Enoki] #3" was broadcast on ABEMA. This broadcast featured "The Unknown World of Sea Squirts," exploring the charms of the marine product "sea squirt" which became a hot topic in #2, as well as a collaboration project with the e-book store "BookLive."

Actually Related to Humans?! Yasumoto & Enoki Astounded by the Deep Biology of "Sea Squirts"!

The first half of the program started with a segment taking a deep dive into "sea squirts," which Enoki had encountered as an "unknown creature" in #2. Keiko Tayama, the president of the "Hoya Hoya Gakkai," appeared in the studio to present a quiz about sea squirts.

When the correct answer to the quiz question, "Which of these is classified in the same group as sea squirts?" was revealed to be "chordates," the same as humans rather than shellfish, the two screamed, "Are we sea squirts?!" and "You've got to be kidding me!!" Furthermore, when "the brain" turned out to be the correct answer for "Which organ disappears when they become adults?", there was a moment where they admired the efficient biology of sea squirts, which "stop thinking for themselves and absorb their own brains." This miraculous development linked Enoki's previous teasing of them as "heartless" with the actual biology of sea squirts in an unexpected way.
