“This is So Seiyuu to Yoasobi!” Screaming Star Names and Unleashing True Voice Acting Prowess
During this broadcast, the “Humans’ Resolve to Get it Right! AI-Devised Two-Option Quiz” segment took center stage, challenging the duo to discern between cleverly crafted, “seemingly real” fake names devised by an AI and actual existing names. In the “Stars” category, they were presented with the choice: “Zaulac ka, Eryudia ka” (Is it Zaulac, or Eryudia?). Irino-san, with a mischievous grin, requested, “Could you try saying it with a nice voice?” Shimono-san, ever the professional, delivered “Zaulac” with a powerful, commanding tone, then transitioned to a gentle whisper for “Eryudia.” The comments section instantly lit up with praise, exclaiming, “What a good voice~!” Irino-san, based on the performance, offered his deduction: “It feels like Eryudia right now. Zaulac sounded like a special move!” The duo confidently selected Eryudia, but to their surprise, “Zaulac” was the correct answer.
When Irino-san playfully bemoaned, “Shimono-san’s way of reading it…,” Shimono-san comically shot back, “Eh, was it me?!” Not one to be outdone, Shimono-san then challenged Irino-san, “Alright, you try saying Zaulac!” Irino-san obliged, delivering “Zaulac” in a soft, ethereal voice. Shimono-san immediately burst into laughter, exclaiming, “That’s not right, is it?! You totally said that imagining a planetarium just now!” The studio erupted in uproarious laughter, unable to contain themselves.
As they tackled the next celestial enigma, “Alphecca ka, Norsia ka” (Is it Alphecca, or Norsia?), the pair indulged in a playful planetarium narration game. Shimono-san declared, “Please behold, Alphecca,” while Irino-san added, “And this is the renowned Norsia.” They then showcased their incredible vocal range and acting chops by dramatically screaming “Norsiaaa!” based on the evocative atmosphere of the name. The comments section exploded once more with viewers praising, “This is so Seiyuu to Yoasobi!” and “What a waste of good voices lol!” Despite their enthusiastic performance, their choice of Norsia turned out to be incorrect, leading to another wave of delightful laughter.
The quiz continued with an insect-themed challenge: “Udemushi ka, Shadow Bug ka” (Is it Udemushi, or Shadow Bug?). Pondering the choices, Irino-san mused, “Compared to Udemushi, I kinda feel like Shadow Bug should exist more.” Shimono-san then dove into some lively speculation, asking, “What even is Udemushi? Does it only have arms?” Irino-san followed up with, “What kind of pose does an Udemushi make?” Shimono-san dramatically imagined and recreated a creature that “looks like an ant but with thick, large arms, almost like a gorilla,” which sent Irino-san screaming, “Scary, scary!” It turned out that “Udemushi” was indeed the correct answer. When the actual photo of the Udemushi appeared on screen, the two *seiyuu* spontaneously devised an “Udemushi pose” together, adding even more hilarity to the show.
“I Feel Like We’re Being Tricked!” Chaos Ensues in Board Game Battle Against Staff!?
The latter half of the program shifted gears to the “MC vs. Massu Board Game Battle!” The hosts faced off against staff member Massu-san, an experienced board game enthusiast who brought along the engaging game “Geschenk.” Shimono-san and Irino-san, clearly flustered and laughing, exclaimed, “I feel like we’re being tricked!” and “You got us again!” as they navigated the complexities of the game. Ultimately, Massu-san emerged victorious. Despite their defeat, the duo expressed enthusiastic intentions for future matches, suggesting, “Maybe we could try a cooperative game next time,” and “I’d definitely love to play another board game.”
