New TV show AKB’s Gachi Chare will start airing from June 29

AKB48’s new TV show “Hikari TV presents Bimyo~na Tobira, AKB48 no Gachi Chare” will start airing from June 29 (Fri), 23:00 exclusively on Hikari TV.


AKB48 no Gachi Chare will be aired on every Friday from 23:00 on Hikari TV (only available those who have subscribed Hikari-net service provided by NTT east or west.)

This show is the sequel of AAKB’s short comedy skit TV show “Bimyo~” in which AKB48 members challenged the genre in a professional manner for the first time. This time, the show takes “Documentary Variety” style, in which members discover their hidden possibilities as they are taking on grueling challenge. In every episode, 2 members are given a difficult task respectively, and the show follows from their training process to the actual challenge in Documentary style.

Takahashi Minami and Iwasa Misaki will make appearances in the 1st episode of the show. Takahashi is given a task “Remember all 24 members of JKT48 in one hour” as she boasts “For those who serves as a captain, remember all members names are prerequisite.”. When she heard this, she immediately shouted “This is absolutely impossible!!!”. Even though she is confident with her memory, she looked quite unsure if she can remember names of JKT48 members which have completely different sounds compared to Japanaese names. Until just before the final challenge she was calling out JKT48 members names….. how her challenge will be unfold?????

 Iwasa Misaki, who raked in 33th in the election while she has been called “Ditz” among members, takes on “3,333 Domino Toppling” challenge. Though she started the challenge with light mind, gradually she has come to have a firm determination, “I’ll never let them call me Ditz!!” by succeeding this challenge which requires discretion and hand dexterity. Her serious attitude, as she concentrated on the task so much that she hadn’t taken break during the filming which lasted for 8 hours, brought the sense of unity among the filming staffs. Will Iwasa-san succeed in the challenge and remove the label of “Ditz”???

The program offers a system viewers can forecast the result of AKB48 members challenge. Viewers make a guess whether they will “Succeed” or “Fail” and cast their vote through “Hikari TV x AKB48” special website. The website is accepting your votes for the 1st episode from today, 25th to 29th 17:00. Those who made a correct guess will be presented the original wallpaper of the show.
