Shimono Hiro and Namikawa Daisuke Send Messages to New “Partners” Taniyama Kisho and Hanae Natsuki! “Say You to Yo Asobi” New Season MC Announced!
On "Say You to Yo Asobi WEEKEND New Structure Announcement SP" broadcast on April 1, 2023, Seki Tomokazu, Namikawa Daisuke, Morikubo Showtaro, Yasumoto Hiroki, Shimono Hiro, Okamoto Nobuhiko, Kaneda Tomoko, and Ishikawa Kaito made an appearance. In addition to announcing the new structure of the upcomming season "Say You to Yo Asobi 2023," which will begin its sixth year in April, they discussed the past seasons. The broadcast began in an after-party mood with a "Cheers" to the final "Weekend" of the "Say You to Yo Asobi 2022" season. Before announcing the new structure, the program started with a look back at the past seasons of "Yo-Asobi" and the past MCs. When reflecting on the 2022 season, Yasumoto said, "Okamoto Nobuhiko worked too hard" and "He was so enthusiastic that he made me go another round on the electric shock chair for the final episode, even though I didn't have to, and my butt almost got destroyed..." Okamoto had a sadistic reply, "It looked like a lot of fun. I couldn't tell that Yasumoto-san was in pain." As the ranking of guest appearances over the past five years was announced, Seki shared a "Yo Asobi" episode with a big-name guest, which he said was particularly common on Fridays. "I think I tied up Yamadera (Koichi)-san in tortoise shell bondage. Mitsuya (Yuji)-san and Inoue Kazuhiko-san too. I'm surprised they let me do it." An aggressive "play" only Seki can offer. When mentioning Matsumoto Rika's three appearances, Seki complained to the staff, saying, "She's my senior who has taken care of me since my debut, and I feel so indebted to her," and "When the staff wants to punish me, they bring Matsumoto-san. Later, Namikawa predicted, "Matsumoto Rika-san and Seki-san (for the new season)?" Seki’s unusually cowering response filled the studio with laughs, "Oh no, absolutely impossible!" As they enjoyed a friendly review of the past five years of broadcasting, it was finally time to announce the new structure. It was announced at the luxurious "Shinjuku Yunika Vision," and Kaneda and Sobi appeared on site to watch the announcement with the fans. The new structure and the appointment of Shirai Yusuke, Taniyama Kisho, Aina Suzuki, and Hanae Natsuki as the new MCs were finally announced. The fans who came to watch the event cheered, and viewers commented, " This is crazy exciting," "The members are amazing," "I literally screamed," and "I have to watch all episodes". After that, they talked about their enthusiasm for the future. Shimono says that he and his new partner, Taniyama Kisho, are such good friends that they hang out at each other's houses in private. Since this is the first time he is teaming up with a man, Seki is excited, saying, "I think I may see something I have never seen before in Shimono-kun," to which Shimono responds, "Since we are both men, it is highly possible that I could be tied up too (laughs). When asked about his relationship with his new partner Hanae, Namikawa replied, "He thinks of me as his little brother! He always makes fun of me," confessing to having an unreserved relationship. The MCs agreed, saying, "That's your distance," and "I can understand." Namikawa then said, "He's a genius at live broadcasting, but I don't know how he's going to come out for 'adult' nightlife," suggesting that it will be an unpredictable Yo Asobi experience. The new Friday duo of Seki and Okamoto, who have never spoken to each other in-depth, talked about their distant relationship, and Morikubo (MC of Walkers) and Ishikawa (MC of Weekend), who have taken over as MCs, talked about the renewal of "Walkers," which has become a strip program, and "Weekend," which will hold a live public broadcast once a month. The last message was "Please continue to support us in the 6th year!" and closed the final episode of "Yo Asobi" of the season. In addition, an extended live pay-per-view broadcast on "ABEMA PPV ONLINE LIVE" after the live broadcast ended, with the message "Celebration! Namikawa Daisuke turns 47! Birthday Gift Event" was held. Each member gave Namikawa a gift that they had prepared, but Okamoto gave him "R18" curry chips, which were known to be extremely spicy, and for some reason, all the members ended up eating them... The crazy birthday party, where the studio was flooded with screams over the extremely spicy chips, is now exclusively available on "ABEMA Premium". (C)AbemaTV,Inc.

Voice actor Tomokazu Seki will appear in the dorama “Sakura no Tou”! He is playing the Chief of the Investigation Division “I think it was a joke!”
It has been announced that the voice actor Tomokazu Seki, known for the roles of Suneo Hanakawa from "Doraemon", Shinazugawa Sanemi from "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", Panda from "Jujutsu Kaisen", and many others, will appear in the dorama "Sakura no Tou", which has been broadcasting on TV Asahi from April 15, 2021. Based on the original story by the scriptwriter Mutou Shougo, this work depicts "The top of the Metropolitan Police Department = The fierce battlefield over the position of the Police Chief " and "The fierce human drama" under the cherry blossoms. Focused on Tamaki Hiroshi playing the role of Kamijo Ren, the director of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigative Cooperation Department, the cast includes Hirosue Ryoko, Okada Kenshi, Naka Riisa, Mitsuishi Ken, Yoshida Kotaro, and Shiina Kippei. This time, it has been announced that Seki will play Makizono Takafumi, the head of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, to which Mizuki Sou (Hirosue) and Togashi Yuma (Okada) belong. He confessed about his surprise when he got the role, "I think it was a joke!", but he went to shoot with extraordinary enthusiasm. He expressed his bitter happiness about the shooting place, "To be honest, I was very nervous on my first day. I am grateful to all the staff and co-actors for being so kind. The only problem I had is that I keep getting excited every day and can't sleep at night." He talked about the future with shining eyes, "I'm not so ambitious, but I'd be happy if I could be myself, who has long been needed as a voice actor and an actor. I would like to cherish the opportunity I received this time and take on the challenge of doramas and movies. I also love historical dorama, so I would be happy to play there." The dorama "Sakura no Tou" is on air every Thursday from 09:00 P.M. on TV Asahi from April 15, 2021. Comments from Seki Tomokazu (Makizono Takafumi) ――Please tell us how you felt after you received the role in "Sakura no Tou" and read the script. When I received the role, I thought it was a joke (laughs). I couldn't believe it, but I was very happy! I read the script of the work featuring a power struggle inside the police, which I have never seen before all at once. I'm worried about how it will turn... (laughs). ――How about the dorama shooting? To be honest, I was very nervous on my first day. I am grateful to all the staff and co-actors for being so kind. The only problem I had is that I keep getting excited every day and can't sleep at night. Meanwhile, there are differences in the required expressions for voice actors, stages, and doramas, but if you care too much, you will not be able to concentrate on the play, so I decided to enjoy it while feeling everyone's vibes. I haveto switch on the elaborate set, costumes, and the world view created by various staff. ――What have you taken in the notice for playing the role of Chief of the Investigation Division, Criminal Department, Metropolitan Police Department? Also, are you particular about the expressions of your voice? Of course, I knew it because it is a position that appears in various doramas, but I also saw a lot of actual inaugural press conferences of the first investigative section manager (laughs) and looked for various things. Basically, it is a position for an excellent person who can deal with things, so I was worried whether I would be able to handle the role, but I try to act showing the obsession and responsibility for arresting criminals. Regarding the voice acting, I am careful not to become Suneo even when I make a mistake (laughs). ――Please tell us what you would like the viewers to pay attention to. To the exquisite relationship between Tamaki-san (Hiroshi) and Hirosue-san (Ryoko), dialogues between Shiina-san (Kippei), Yoshida-san (Kotaro), and Mitsuishi-san (Ken). You will not be able to stop watching. ――This time, a career advancement battle over the position of police chief is depicted. Do you have any "ambition" for Seki-san? I'm not so ambitious, but I'd be happy if I could be myself, who has long been needed as a voice actor and an actor. I would like to cherish the opportunity I received this time and take on the challenge of doramas and movies. I also love historical dorama, so I would be happy to play there. ――Finally, please give a message to the viewers. "Sakura no Tou" is a series with amazing development. Every time I feel nervous and my heart is throbbing. I think it's the most exciting dorama. I'm not used to doramas but I'm thrilled with this one. Please enjoy ii!
