meat-loving voice actor Yamashita Daiki invites his cooking-loving voice actor friends as guests. The guests carefully prepare meat dishes from the program’s original recipes, which Yamashita then goes all out to enjoy. Voice actors Shouta Aoi and Taku Yashiro appeared as guests on this episode, and they celebrated Yamashita’s birthday in style with a BBQ outside the studio. First, guests Aoi and Yashiro introduced themselves, and Aoi’s glasses prompted numerous comments from viewers, such as “They look so cute!” The barbecue venue, a complete change from the rehearsal, was plunged into darkness, and Yamashita wondered, “How far will I be visible?” and stepped away by himself. Viewers also commented, “That’s cute!” This highlighted Yamashita’s innocence. It was also announced that the names of the program’s mascots, Cow-kun, Pig-kun, and Tori-kun, who appeared in the February broadcast, have been decided as “Morgusto II,” “Potaton,” and “Tebastian,” which livened up the venue.

Next, she recreated a recipe from a previous broadcast, and introduced photos posted on social media by fans using the hashtag “Niku-Kuking.” Viewers flooded the show with comments like, “Food terrorism…” and “Looks delicious!”

This time, they attempted four dishes, “the most ever,” highlighting the special nature of Yamashita’s birthday. They started by marinating spare ribs. Aoi, an accomplished cook, guided the recipe, while Yashiro followed her instructions. Yamashita began dancing merrily behind the two serious cooks, prompting viewers to comment, “There’s someone dancing, lol.” While rubbing the sauce in a bag, Aoi and Yashiro engaged in a humorous exchange, talking to the sauce as if it were Yamashita. The next dish, Tandoori Chicken, also involved kneading the bag to mix it, and Yamashita struggled, saying, “I can’t knead it properly…”, and Yashiro, who had joked that he had been kneading it since he was in training school, took over and mixed it, leading to a lively proceeding. The following Caprese recipe also made use of the bag, and Yamashita even commented, “The bag is amazing.”

With a “Ready, set, go!”, they opened the bottle, and at the same time, everyone shouted, “Happy birthday!” The mood was celebratory, and the comments were filled with congratulatory messages. When Yashiro taught Yamashita how to drink ramune, saying, “You hook the marble into this indentation and drink it,” Yamashita was surprised, saying, “I didn’t know that! So that’s why I couldn’t drink it this whole time!” Both on set and in the audience commented, “How cute!”

As Yamashita casually tossed the tongue in, viewers commented earnestly, “You’re facing the meat, lol.” At the same time, the three of them also started grilling garlic toast, munching on it with gusto. The second half of the show saw the time to properly celebrate Yamashita’s birthday, starting with opening the champagne bottle. Aoi struggled for a while but was unable to open it, so Yashiro took over. However, Yashiro also struggled. She tried again and again, shouting “Congratulations!”, but each time it didn’t open, and frustrating times passed. Finally, Yashiro succeeded and raised a toast. Finally, they grilled the spare ribs and tandoori chicken, the main course of the day, and ate the meat with gusto. After the barbecue came to a close, the celebrations for Yamashita’s birthday began. First, the caricature gift corner. Aoi and Yashiro drew caricatures of Yamashita on the spot and showed them off, eliciting a buzz at the high quality of their illustrations. Next came the “36 Charms of Yamashita Daiki” corner. Aoi and Yashiro took turns listing Yamashita’s charms. From the standard “cute” and “cool” choices, Aoi offered “the show’s director is cool,” while Yashiro offered “his silhouette when he jumps is beautiful.” However, with 10 caricatures left, the time bell rang, and the corner came to a close, much to everyone’s regret.

The two improvised a love song for Yamashita, who listened to it through headphones. First, Aoi sang in a whispering voice, targeting only the left ear, causing Yamashita to writhe in agony. Next, Yashiro moved back and forth while recording, drawing comments from viewers like, “She’s good at using the dummy head!” However, Yashiro’s song gradually took on a horror-like tone, drawing laughter. Finally, the two sang a birthday song together, one on each side, and a special meat cake made by Fairy Godmother Fujioka was brought out. At one point, Aoi was moved to tears when she saw Yamashita commenting while eating a meat cake.

Just when it seemed like it was all over, a surprise for the viewers was played: a recording of Yamashita’s voice recorded into a dummy head. He began, “Today was a truly happy time,” and concluded, “Let’s continue to be friends. Good night.” Yamashita’s warm surprise, showing his concern for his viewers, sparked a huge uproar in the comments, and the program finally came to a close. ┃Yamashita Daiki’s Birthday Meat-Eating #10 supported by animelo Program Overview ■Date and Time: Monday, September 8, 2025, 7:30 PM – 10:00 PM ■Cast: Daiki Yamashita (MC), Shouta Aoi, Taku Yashiro (Guest) ■Recipe Supervision: Mariko Fujioka (Cook) ■ Viewing URL:
