[Video]New MC Ono Kensho appears lukewarmly

For the 2025 season, the MC will be announced on the first broadcast each week. As viewers were nervous, new MC, Ono Kensho, appeared lukewarmly. After that, he greeted him with high spirits, saying, “The day has finally come when I say this. I’m Ono Kensho, the MC on Thursday!” and expressed his joy at taking over as MC for the first time, saying, “I thought I was a guest only, so I never thought I would be able to take charge of the MC!” and “I’m so enthusiastic. I’ve been nervous all the time today.”

However, he couldn’t see his partner at all. Suddenly, a mysterious person calling himself his partner chats with him, “Who is it?” After that, Ono continues to answer questions from his partner, but despite being the new MC, he is left alone, and in a hurry, “It might be about to reach his limit.”

Just as Ono reached his limit, his partner, Hanae Natsuki, finally appeared proudly. The two, known for being the best friends in the voice acting world, were also excited by the two, saying, “The best,” “The godly duo,” and “Thursday is definitely dangerous lol.”

After that, there was a scene where they revealed how the duo was decided. “I was planning to graduate the previous year, but the staff members stopped me by saying, ‘Ono said that Ono wasn’t with Hanae…’!” After an enthusiastic love call from Ono, Hanae revealed that he decided to continue the MC, but Ono replied with a surprise expression, “No, no no! I wasn’t saying it!” After that, she told Hanae that she had decided to become the MC, saying, “Can I share my memories for my honor?” and revealed the truth, saying, “What, if Kensho-san plays the MC, I’ll stay,” and immediately showed how close they were.

■Ono Kensho is baptized as a night game from the first episode and is baptized and has become awkward! ?

The main broadcast will feature the “Ono Kensho Night Play Aptitude Test.” Ono challenged several tests, and Hanae decided whether he was suitable for the night play MC. Hanae says, “If you fail, I’ll graduate today,” and “If Kensho graduates, I’ll graduate too!”, and Ono can’t hide his confused expression, “Today is over!?”

In the midst of all this, he first tried the “reaction test” to determine whether he can respond well to classic night play items. The items that appeared were “splitting stapler,” “splitting juice,” and “splitting chair,” which would normally be used as a punishment game, and Ono threw them down, saying, “What?!” and “It’s so scary!”

After that, he first challenges a “strawling stapler” and “sturdy sour juice,” and ono falls in agony so much that he falls. However, Hanae smiles and fails, and Ono can’t help but urge to hear the harsh decision, “Don’t be fooling!” And in the final “Biribiri Chair”, Ono jumps to the power. Hanae also laughed at this and passed the exam, praised her reaction, saying, “Good! It flew! The time spent in the air was amazing!”

In addition, in the “Muchaburi Test,” which shows whether they can respond to the unseen goals, Ono dresses as a cat and a “Ono Nyansho” photoshoot by photographer Hanae, and in the “Guest Talk Test,” which shows whether they can talk with guests from other industries who are not used to live broadcasts, this is their first showdown with AI, who has been causing trouble for many voice actors.

A conversation between AI-chan, dressed as a fortune teller, unfolds, and Ono is also stumped at AI-chan, who says things like, “If you look at your thumbnails, you can see everything,” and “You’re the rapper, right?”, and the studio is filled with laughter. Then, Ono was immediately baptized after playing at night, replied, “I’m tired…” and “I was baptized too much!”, giving him even more laughs.

The program also released the “Ono Kensho instruction manual” created by Hanae, who boasts that she “knows Ono Kensho in full!”, and the 90 minutes passed by in a flash with a hilarious conversation. Viewers commented, “Too funny lol,” “We really got along well lol,” and “It was a great episode,” and “#Ono Hanae and Night Play” became a trending X, with the first episode coming to an end with a huge uproar.
