MC: "It’s time for the POP Yokai Audition! Let’s kick things off with our first contestant who’s a...teacup? Oh, I see a tiny face peeking out! Please introduce yourself!"

Tea Buddy: "I’m...Tea Buddy. I came from the cupboard. I suddenly appear in front of people having tea alone and drink with them.

Tea is really fun! Despite using the same tea leaves, it’ll be bitter if you use water that’s too hot, and sweet if it’s not hot enough. People are the same. Everyone has their own “flavor” at different temperatures.

Just the other day, there was someone who was having tea, sighing about how hard they’d worked. So I gently praised them and told them to look at the tea’s steam a little longer. Then they broke out into a smile."

MC: "You’re such a kind yokai! Just like the steam from tea, you’re able to warm the hearts of people. Everyone, please give a round of applause for Tea Buddy, the soothing yokai! Now, let’s go to our second contestant!"
