ASOBISYSTEM, which keeps updating the Japanese culture scene, and ABC TV, which has been producing many popular programs for a long time, have teamed up! The gorgeous members of ASOBISYSTEM, which includes Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and the idol project "KAWAII LAB." (FRUITS ZIPPER, CANDY TUNE, SWEET STEADY, CUTIE STREET), will appear in variety shows and dramas on the new ASOBI-hearted hybrid program "Asobanyasonson" (ABC TV / broadcast every Saturday from 0:25 to 4:19) starting on April XNUMXth.
The program will have two parts, a variety show and a drama, each airing for about 2 minutes.
This program offers a new program format that is "sustainable and entertaining to the end" in response to the familiar viewing style of Gen Z. In the memorable first episode that aired on April 4th, the six members of KAWAII LAB. dressed up as ninjas! On social media, there were reactions such as "They were so cute in their ninja costumes, it suited them so well!", "It was full of fun and cuteness", "I'm so happy, I'm looking forward to the next episode".
Sakurai Yui's monoboke had fans asking, "Is that your hobby!?" Tsukiashi Amane and Murakawa Hian were wearing the same casual clothes!
In the variety part, a different project is carried out each time with the theme of "having fun to the fullest." This time, six people will appear, Tsukiashi Amane & Sakurai Yui from FRUITS ZIPPER, Ogawa Nanako & Murakawa Hi-an from CANDY TUNE, Kurita Natsuka & Shoji Nagisa from SWEET STEADY, and will do a location shoot in Harajuku.
Although they belong to the same agency, this is the first time that these six have gathered together, making for an unusual lineup. They say that they usually get together with members of the same color, and Murakawa and Kurita of "Team Pink" boast, "We get along well!" and "We're best friends!" Sakurai and Ogawa of "Team Mint Green" also often go out to eat together, highlighting their friendship.
Tsukiashi, who was left out of the group, pressured Shoji by saying, "You'll talk to me, right?", trying to appear friendly, which caused the other members to say, "That's scary!" Also, unlike usual, the six members appeared in casual clothes. Tsukiashi also showed her closeness with Murakawa, saying, "Today, Hian and I are wearing matching shoes, even though we're not wearing the same ones."
The six of them will be experiencing e-Ninja, the world's first next-generation ninja sport using laser shuriken. They will change from their street clothes into ninja costumes and split into Team Amaneki (Tsukiashi, Ogawa, and Kurita) and Team Yui-chan (Sakurai, Murakawa, and Shoji) to compete against each other. Fans of the six in ninja costumes commented on social media that they looked "too cute in ninja costumes" and "they looked amazing in them." The winning team will be presented with a "reward location shoot to have fun in Harajuku," which will increase everyone's motivation gauge. Meanwhile, a tough punishment awaits the losing team. Ogawa and Kurita won, giving Team Amaneki two consecutive wins. Fans were surprised by Ogawa's overwhelming victory, saying, "Contrary to our expectations, he's too strong in the shuriken battle lol." However, Team Yui-chan is eager for one last round. If the three members of Team Yui-chan can make the monoboke cute and funny, they will be able to hold the third round. Murakawa, Shoji, and Sakurai performed monoboke in that order. Murakawa performed "Edo Matsuken Samba," Shoji performed "Harajuku Otani and Headbang?", and finally Sakurai performed the mysterious "Mexican Fortune Teller" and made it to the third round. He was delighted and said, "I love monoboke." Comments on the monoboke included, "Yui-chan's monoboke is the best," "I like when it's really funny," and "Please tell me your fortune."
Tsukiashi and Murakawa are enthusiastic about the third round, but before the match even starts, Murakawa hits a sudden shot, and Tsukiashi retaliates with a "Hey!" Fans are also feeling warm and fuzzy watching the two play around, saying, "Amabibi are so close, it's so cute..."
What will the reward location shoot and punishment game be like next week?
The drama part is a live-action adaptation of "Switch Mind: Life Swap App" (Futabasha Action Comics), an original work by usi. The thrilling story revolves around Switch Mind, an app that can swap your life, which was thought to be an urban legend.
Asuna (Yamaguchi Moa/ASOBISYSTEM) and Roy (Matsushita Kyoko/ASOBISYSTEM) are mysterious beings who call humans "test subjects" and come to understand them. The two actors who played the mysterious beings have been getting a lot of attention on social media, with people saying, "I love how they really suit the role and the atmosphere with their silver hair." The one they set their sights on is Tanaka Nozomi (Hirasawa Yuri), who earns money by working part-time at an izakaya to replace her mother, who is an alcoholic and doesn't work properly. The moment Nozomi wishes, "I don't want to live in a house like this anymore," the app "Switch Mind" is installed on her smartphone without her permission.

Nozomi thought it was an urban legend, but she chose a woman named Fujikura Erika (Imoto Ayaka), whose parents were wealthy and who even had a fiancé. The next morning, she woke up and found that she had really become Erika.
Nozomi is overjoyed at her dream life of living in a huge mansion with a housekeeper to look after her.
