Kazuki Ura & Tasuku Kaito's first-ever town shoot!

To celebrate the collaboration between Blue Lock and Oedo Onsen Monogatari beginning on August 1, Blue Lock stars Kazuki Ura (Yoichi Isagi) and Tasuku Kaito (Meguru Bachira) set off on their very first travel shoot together for the BS10 travel program Ima Tomaritai! Ii Furo Onsen Yado!, where they are joined by the program's host, Ryohei Odai.

Their destination is Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture, one of Japan's celebrated Three Scenic Views. From cruising through the picturesque bay on a sightseeing boat to exploring the local town and enjoying a stay at the Premium Hotel Sokan, the pair experience the charm of one of Japan's most iconic travel destinations.

Along the way, they also take on the classic challenge of asking local businesses for permission to film, receive food-reporting tips from Odai, unwind in Matsushima's famous hot springs, and indulge in a lavish buffet dinner showcasing local flavors.

The trip also features plenty of Blue Lock conversation, giving fans a chance to see Kazuki Ura and Tasuku Kaito in a relaxed setting unlike their usual appearances.

Comments from the cast (Kazuki Ura & Tasuku Kaito)

Comment from Kazuki Ura (Voice of Yoichi Isagi)

"It really felt like, 'This is exactly what I've seen on TV!' Watching Odai-san chat so naturally with people around town and seeing how warmly they responded to him left a strong impression on me. It wasn't just about us having fun, we got to see how everyone worked together with the local community to create an enjoyable program, and I think that became an irreplaceable experience for me. I also learned a lot of techniques for food reporting."

Comment from Tasuku Kaito (Voice of Meguru Bachira)

"Being our first location shoot, there was a lot to keep in mind, so it was definitely challenging. But I was really grateful that we got to travel while being taught things like, 'Here's a good way to do it.' It made the whole experience a lot of fun. I could really tell how much Odai-san is loved by everyone we met, and he looked out for us with this warm, almost fatherly perspective, which made it easy for us to relax and just be ourselves."
