Overview of the Episode

On April 15, 2025, the eighth episode of "Yamashita Daiki's Meat Cooking" was broadcasted on NicoNico Live, featuring guest voice actor Toki Shunichi. This program is a celebration of meat, where the enthusiastic host, Yamashita Daiki, invites fellow voice actors who enjoy cooking to create a unique meat dish, which he then thoroughly enjoys. In this episode, they prepared a dish that celebrated the flavors of spring.

Recapping the 1st Anniversary Event

As the program has now entered its second year, the episode kicked off with a nostalgic look back at the first real-life event held for the show's one-year anniversary at Tokorozawa Sakura Town. Yamashita enthusiastically recalled the experience, stating, “It was incredibly luxurious and delicious, but I realized there’s only so much a person can eat.” His remarks led the viewers to flood the chat with humorous comments about his indulgence during the event.

In a fun twist, the audience had previously submitted name ideas for new character mascots representing beef, pork, and chicken dishes. After a voting process, the chicken mascot named ‘Tebasuchan’ won overwhelmingly. The cute pork character was dubbed ‘Poteton,’ and the regal beef character earned the name ‘Mogustus II,’ delighting viewers who expressed their joy and affection for the new mascots.

Toki Shunichi Joins the Action

With the introductions made, guest Toki Shunichi joined the show. The two have shared a friendship spanning over 11 years and have the same age, with a mutual love for Disney. They humorously reminisced about singing songs from “Aladdin” at karaoke, prompting viewers to express their eagerness to hear those performances. They also playfully exchanged comments about how they have both slimmed down, leading Yamashita to reveal a strange fondness for Toki’s back.

Cooking Commences with Laughter

Once the conversation shifted to cooking, Yamashita showed anticipation while asking what the day’s menu would be. Toki jokingly mentioned a vegetable stir-fry—yikes for Yamashita, who is notoriously averse to vegetables. The amusing exchange delighted the audience, who erupted into laughter at Yamashita's exaggerated reactions. After much joking, the actual dish was revealed as "Spring Walking Skewers: Beef, Pork, and Chicken!" which visibly lifted Yamashita’s spirits.

Beginning the cooking segment, Toki demonstrated his culinary skills with ease, explaining various tips and trivia about meat. Yamashita noted a heightened level of cooking complexity given the need for efficiency, contrasting this episode’s demands with previous ones.

While they worked together to prepare the three types of skewers, viewers commented on the charming chemistry between the two, and how Toki frequently complimented Yamashita's cooking skills.

In a comical turn, Toki revealed his inexperience with IH stoves, placing Yamashita in a teaching role to show him how to operate the equipment, keeping the atmosphere light and engaging.

Delicious Tasting and Reactions

In the exclusive members-only segment on animelo+, the duo tasted the skewers they had just prepared: tsukune (chicken meatballs), samgyeopsal rice balls, and steak skewers. Their reactions spoke volumes as they shared smiles and high-fives after tasting the samgyeopsal rice balls, even giving a mock high-five to the off-screen culinary supervisor, Fairy Godmother.

As they finished the meal, a nostalgic look crossed Yamashita’s face, expressing his sadness at the empty plates. Toki humorously recalled a time they had gone to eat hamburgers off air, indicating how similarly Yamashita reacted after their meals.

Final Thoughts

The episode concluded with viewers chanting praises about the entertaining and consistent quality of the show, creating a nice buzz around this three-month-awaited episode. The engaging camaraderie between Yamashita and Toki, combined with the delightful theme around spring's flavors, made for a memorable watch that resonated with fans and cooking enthusiasts alike.
