Taniyama-san, who appeared as a guest in the broadcast, was an MC of “Say You to Yasobi 1st Season” and “Say You to Yasobi 2nd Season,” and greeted the audience with “Taniyama Kisho is back at ABEMA!” The viewers also got excited with comments like “Welcome back!”

Taniyama Kishou and Shimono-san, the MC of the show, are good friends, having worked together in many productions and interacting in private. The program started in a friendly atmosphere when Uchida-san asked, “You really like Shimono-san, don’t you, Taniyama-san? and Taniyama-san replied, “This guy likes me!” To that Shimono-san replied, “In that sense, we’re in love with each other, aren’t we?

In the program, in response to Uchida’s comment “I wonder what Shimono-san is like when he is with Kisho-san!”, Taniyama and Shimono introduced the true faces of each other that only the two of them know, “The real faces of Kishou and Hiro that Maaya doesn’t know”. Questions such as “Kishou-san’s face at the recording site” and “Hiro-kun’s face early in the morning when he wakes up from sleep”, revealing their “true faces”, including episodes when they were drunk and Taniyama-san’s shy behavior during recording.

When asked about “Hiro’s face when he’s with the guys,”Taniyama-san revealed that Shimono-san is usually the one being teased. “Uchida talks about being a reliable senior member, saying that he’s “everyone’s big brother” and “he’s like the leader.” Taniyama and Uchida pointed out sharply that “Maaya-chan didn’t want you to see Shimono Hiro as a ‘tease’,” and “Maybe she’s embarrassed, but she seems to be more quiet than usual, and she sharply pointed out, “I’m embarrassed!” “It’s like my brother came to class.”

The two continued to talk about their memories, showing old photos of them together. They talked about how they hadn’t taken any pictures together recently, which led to Taniyama-san and Shimono-san taking a Purikura photo. Uchida-san took the role of the director and instructed the two to pose for the photo, suggesting various couple poses such as having them wrap a long scarf around each other, or having them look at each other with their hands together.
They also posed in a mocking height difference pose to show their height difference, and in a “Kiss puri” style pose. “They’re like girls! So cute!” They were so excited.

Towards the end of the program, the completed Purikura were shown to the audience. The three of them enjoyed the couple’s purikuras with comments like, “You look like you’re about 14 years old!” “Sometimes the processing isn’t right! ” and “Together we’re both 87 years old.” There were a lot of comments from the viewers like “awesome”, “director Maaya is a genius!” and “It was a great episode.”
