What’s the Money Sense of Top Voice Actors? The Seki and Kawashima Duo Takes on a “Money Public Opinion Survey”!

At the beginning of the public recording, Seki Tomokazu and Kawashima Reiji made a grand entrance from the center of the audience seating. They immediately engaged in a lively call-and-response with the excited crowd, answering “Hai~!” to the chant of “Let’s play at night~!” As part of the regular Friday money-themed segment, they then launched into the “Uncover the World’s Money Situations! Money Awareness Survey Quiz!” This segment challenged the two MCs to predict whether the audience’s financial sensibilities leaned towards “Yes” or “No” on various questions, with 500 yen awarded for each correct guess.

With an enthusiastic cry of “Let’s earn about 500,000 yen!”, the duo tackled a series of questions designed to gauge financial values, such as “Would you pick up even a single yen coin?”, “How much have you spent on your *oshi* (favorite idol/character)?”, and “Would you continue a job you love even if the salary was cut in half?”. A particularly astonishing moment came when Seki-san confessed during the question “Do you save money every month without fail?” by revealing, “I had no savings whatsoever until I was 40. I spent every single penny!” This candid admission left Kawashima-san, and undoubtedly the audience, utterly surprised.

The engaging conversation continued with the audience, sparking relatable discussions on questions like “Have you ever dabbled in investments or stocks?”, “Would you shave your head completely if someone offered you 1,000,000 yen?”, and “Is money more important than friendship?”. In the end, Seki-san accumulated 4,500 yen, while Kawashima-san earned 5,500 yen. The highlight of this segment was when Seki-san, in a heartwarming “fatherly gesture,” handed his winnings to Kawashima-san saying, “Here, take this too; use it for clothes.” This moment of generous mentorship was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the entire venue.

In the latter half of the program, the “Sign Scramble! Audience Cash Grab Challenge” took center stage. Three lucky audience members were invited onto the stage to try their hand at grabbing as much cash as possible. Depending on the amount they managed to snatch, they would receive a signed shikishi (autograph board) from Seki-san and Kawashima-san, leading to an incredibly exciting and highly anticipated climax for the event.

As the event drew to a close, Kawashima-san expressed his delight, saying, “It was such an incredibly fun day, getting to see all of your reactions directly!” The program then concluded with the familiar energetic chant of “Seiyuu Next Night~”.
