Taku Yashiro Finally Regains His "Human Heart"?! Thoroughly Verifying His "Absolute Favorites" on "Say You To Yo Asobi Saturday"

The episode #3 of "Say You To Yo Asobi Saturday" was broadcast on ABEMA on May 9 (Saturday) at 10:00 PM.

In this broadcast, the main project "Let's Find Taku Yashiro's 'Absolute Favorite'!" was held to completely expose Yashiro's personality. In the "Pushing Sumo No.1 Championship Exhibition Match," unexpected assassins made an appearance, turning it into a highly chaotic 90-minute show.

Thorough verification to find Taku Yashiro's "absolute favorite" finally helps him regain his "human heart"!

In episode #2, it was revealed that Yashiro has "absolutely no attachment to inanimate objects (no favorite colors or foods)." While Nobuhiko Okamoto highly praised Yashiro's "extremely Reiwa-era talk style" that never hurts anyone, the project "Let's Find Taku Yashiro's 'Absolute Favorite'!" was carried out to test Yashiro's "absolute favorites" across various genres. This was done to help him find a clear "passion" like the other weekday MCs (such as Hiro Shimono's fried chicken and Kensho Ono's ramen).

To start off, they probed into "things Yashiro dislikes." Yashiro revealed a glimpse of his overly detached true self, saying things like, "I'm not good with the high-energy vibe of LINE group chats," and "Since the desire for approval leads to obsession, it's healthier not to focus your mind on it." This led to a moment where Okamoto was deeply impressed, saying, "You're so smart!"

Then, they finally moved on to the main topic. When asked about his "favorite sushi topping," Yashiro showed his usual "empty" self, saying, "I might have never compared them (I like them all)." However, when it came to his "favorite cut of yakiniku (BBQ)," he said "tongue"; for his "favorite oden ingredient," he said "daikon radish"; and for his "favorite animal," he said "cheetah (because their muscles when running are beautiful)." He successfully narrowed down his "absolute favorites" beautifully. Okamoto was overjoyed by this, exclaiming, "He has regained his human heart!" On the other hand, Yashiro himself tilted his head in confusion, asking, "Is this a counseling session?!"

With that said, looking at the profiling results compiled by the show's staff (dislikes: LINE group chats; likes: tongue, daikon radish, cheetahs, etc.), Okamoto muttered, "If this were the profile of a romanceable character in an otome game, it's like... how should I put it... there might be nothing special worth mentioning..." He added, "Have you ever seen other voice actors' profiles?! There's nothing here that makes you think, 'Let's expand the conversation from this point.'" In the end, Okamoto wrapped up the topic by saying, "It turns out that what Takku-n likes is humans!" Yashiro quickly fired back with a sharp retort, saying, "That makes me sound like I have some intense ideology! I understand and agree with the feeling of liking humans, but I don't really like people who go out of their way to write that down!" This brought huge laughter to the studio.
