“Say You to Yoasobi Tuesday ‘Shimono Hiro X Uchida Maaya’ #24” featuring the voice actors Shimono Hiro and Uchida Maaya was broadcast on October 12, 2021, on the “Anime LIVE Channel” of the new futuristic TV “ABEMA”.

During this broadcast, they have invited Nagatsuka Takuma, who appeared as a guest for the first time on “Yoasobi” and the corner “There are various events while living…The Game of Life!”, where they played the latest Game of Life, was held. Also, with the participation of Nagatsuka on the regular corner of Tuesday “Dummy Head Healing”, where the performers whisper the recruited lines from the listeners to the dummy head, the healing voice of the three can be heard.

The guest Nagatsuka is a junior from the same agency as Shimono and Uchida. Nagatsuka was nervous in front of his two seniors, but after the light talk, such as celebrating his singer debut and Uchida praising his Twitter with “He looks so cute on Twitter! His photos are also quite stylish!”, during the opening talk, the three of them are able to be frank with each other.

“There are various events while living…The Game of Life!” was a corner that was held as Nagatsuka possessed a unique career as he changed his job from a civil servant to a voice actor, and they had played the latest Game of Life while understanding the life of Nagatsuka.

Shimono and Uchida were unable to hide their surprise when they found out he was an “ex-civil servant”, and asked various questions toward Nagatsuka, such as “Why did you become a civil servant?” and “Why did you decide to become a voice actor afterward?”. Nagatsuka explains about a careless memory, which is “I forgotten my exam slip for the university admission exam, and my parents got mad as they told me to find a job immediately… so I took the exam for the civil servant” follow with the details on how he become a voice actor, saying “I love acting as I was a member of the drama club during high school, so I actually wanted to be an actor. Then, I was admitted into the training school and took auditions while working as a civil servant.”

With this, a glimpse of Nagatsuka’s life filled with ups and downs can be seen, and they have started the Game of Life immediately. In contrast to Nagatsuka, who has a stable life by the solid play just like an “ex-civil servant”, Shimono has a good start with the high paid job as a professional shogi player, but a life in debt has started as well since he was required to fork out the mysterious expenses of “Paid 50 thousand dollar due to desperation”. On the other hand, Uchida has a disaster start because she was also required to pay an unnecessary expense on her first turn and ended up as a freeter as she was unable to secure a job. Shimono and Uchida, whose debt is increasing, muttered “Money~~~” and “This is a life where money is being taken away…”.

However, after that, Nagatsuka’s wave of misfortune have started as he began to experience the downfall in his life. Nagatsuka mentioned “I am getting useless in succession” as he sank to the bottom since he took over Uchida’s debt and fork out an unnecessary expense on top of losing his job.
On the other hand, Uchida, who has her debt being covered by others, has tremendous growth after reaching the lucky place. And even Shimono, who has the most debts, was able to clear out all his debt, and obtained the various treasure cards in succession to aim for a comeback during the settlement.

With this, the back-and-forth dead heat that revolved around the three has ended, and the result is Shimono in 1st place due to the contribution of the treasure cards. With Uchida in the 2nd place, and Nagatsuka, whose luck didn’t improve in the second half, in third place. Toward this game with the ups and downs development, where Shimono made a comeback despite being filled with debts, the three commented “It was fun~!” and “I wanted to play more”. As they showed that they had enjoyed playing the latest Game of Life.
