【Video】Highlights from “Seiyuu to Yoasobi Kin” #5

During this broadcast, a segment titled “If You Love Me, You Should Know! Kawashima Reiji’s Ultimate Fan Quiz!” was held. Kawashima-san, who had previously been labeled an “idiot” in the “Yoasobi Common Knowledge Quiz,” took on a quiz about his co-host Seki-san and himself in an attempt to regain his honor. Unexpected answers kept popping up, filling the studio with raucous laughter.

Kawashima Reiji Talks About the Aftermath of His “Near-Zero Bank Balance”?!

At the beginning of the program, Kawashima-san spoke about the follow-up to his “bank balance situation” which he revealed in a previous “First Look! This Week’s Kawashima Reiji Topics” segment. On the broadcast on Friday, May 2, he made the shocking confession that his bank balance was “looking zero.” However, a photo revealed at the start of this broadcast, presented as “Kawashima entering the studio today!”, showed Kawashima-san holding a large number of brand shopping bags.

He confessed that after getting paid, he had once again gone on a spending spree buying clothes, and cried out, “Oh nooo!” Seki-san retorted sharply, “It is oh no! You’re crazy!”, but then added, “But I like this kind of ‘don’t think about the future’ attitude.” He then shared stories from his own youth, saying, “Because you’re still young, aren’t you? I was like this too back then. Had no money at all. My water was even shut off once!” Seki-san then kindly added, “Well, it’s fine. It’s money you earned yourself by working hard.” Kawashima-san smiled and enthusiastically responded, “I’ll truly work hard!”

However, the staff then informed them that “Kawashima-san’s manager is genuinely worried.” Apparently, Kawashima-san’s manager had called the program specifically to express concern about Kawashima-san’s spending habits. While Kawashima-san was flustered, Seki-san burst into laughter, saying, “That must be really bad.” An impromptu planning meeting to curb Kawashima-san’s spending habits was quickly held, leading to a lively and engaging discussion.

Completely Forgets His Own Motto?! Seki Tomokazu Reacts to Kawashima Reiji’s Quirky Answers: “Are You Possessed by an Alien Today?”

Also, during the program, a segment titled “If You Love Me, You Should Know! Kawashima Reiji’s Ultimate Fan Quiz!” was conducted. Kawashima-san had been found to be lacking in common knowledge during a previous “Yoasobi Common Knowledge Quiz,” so this segment was planned for him to demonstrate a “clever” side by answering questions about things he loves and is knowledgeable about.

First, he took on the “Seki Tomokazu Common Knowledge Quiz.” Kawashima-san had previously moved Seki-san by revealing that he had studied past “Yoasobi” episodes and DVDs of “Gekidan Hero Hero Q Company,” where Seki-san serves as chairman, to get to know him better after becoming his co-host this season. Feeling he couldn’t afford to make mistakes, he started with great enthusiasm. However, questions like “What are Seki Tomokazu’s birthdate and hometown?” and “What was Seki Tomokazu doing in this photo from Yoasobi?” included not only common knowledge but also slightly less conventional questions, resulting in a string of incorrect answers.

And for the final question, “How much money does Seki Tomokazu currently have in his wallet?”, Kawashima-san guessed an amount, but Seki-san’s unexpected answer that he had 0 yen because he is a “cashless person” defeated Kawashima-san. In the end, he got every question wrong, resulting in him being given a sticker that read “I don’t know anything about Seki Tomokazu.” As Kawashima-san awkwardly looked at Seki-san, Seki-san grumbled, “What a shock~.”

Furthermore, in the “Kawashima Reiji Common Knowledge Quiz,” which he was expected to answer correctly, the first question was “What is Kawashima Reiji’s motto?” Kawashima-san confidently answered, saying, “I know this!”, but surprisingly got it wrong. When Kawashima-san admitted he had forgotten his own motto, Seki-san delivered a strong tsukkomi: “That’s wrong!”, “Huh, what’s going on? Are you possessed by an alien today?”. The studio erupted in laughter.

After that, questions like “What caption did Kawashima Reiji post with this image?” and “What is Kawashima Reiji’s weight?” were asked, and Kawashima-san’s quirky answers continued to cause laughter. In the end, he couldn’t answer more than half of the questions in the “Kawashima Reiji Common Knowledge Quiz,” bringing the segment to a close. This time, he was given a sticker that read “I am Kawashima Reiji’s look-alike,” and Kawashima-san looked defeated, saying, “It’s really scary that I can’t remember my own motto!” Viewers also got excited by Kawashima-san’s natural airheadedness, with comments like “It’s a paranormal phenomenon…”, “That’s terrifying www”, “Is it fake Shiru??”, and “He was a look-alike after all www.”

At the end of the program, it was announced that Satou Takuya, from the TV anime “Kanpeki Sugite Kawaii ge ga Nai to Kon’yaku Hakisareta Seijo wa Ringoku ni Urareru,” will appear as a guest on the next broadcast on Friday, May 30.
