## Chocolate Planet's Osada Takes His GR Yaris for a Rally Spin in Tokyo!
ABEMA, the "new future TV," is streaming parts 1-3 of its "Free Rally Japan Special Project on ABEMA," featuring "ABEMA Rally Japan Cheering Captain" Shohei Osada from the comedy duo Chocolate Planet. The project provides an experiential look at the rally ahead of its opening on May 28, 2026.
In part 1, rally driver Yuna Kanematsu joins the team. Kanematsu, who created "pace notes" from Shibuya to the Skytree Town for Osada, joins him in his personal "Toyota GR Yaris" to conduct a rally experience within Tokyo.
Despite starting with Kanematsu as his co-driver, Osada takes a wrong turn shortly after, returning to the start line in just 10 minutes. Realizing the difficulty of understanding instructions while driving, Osada remarked, "Understanding these instructions while driving over 100 km/h is incredible... this is insane."
## A 60°C Experience!? Simulating Extreme Summer In-Car Conditions
In part 2, Osada, Kanematsu, and Nana Takagi take on extreme conditions at "GR Garage Tokyo Fukagawa." Using the "Gran Turismo 7" racing simulator, they reproduce a car interior at a scorching "60°C" perceived temperature. The results showed their lap times dropped by "5 seconds" compared to normal conditions.
## 3-Minute Limit! Tough Challenges in Tire Replacement
In part 3, the team tackles emergency responses in rallies. They attempt a tire change, a necessary skill during a puncture, but struggle under a strict time limit where professionals say "2 minutes is still too slow."
