CANDY TUNE, the idol group driving the 'KAWAII' culture of the current era following the hit 'Bai Bai FIGHT!', is set to launch a new digital program titled 'Harajuku Terebi.'. This program is a new type of digital show in a sitcom-variety format featuring the members of CANDY TUNE. It is designed as entertainment for the smartphone era, distributed via social media platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Furthermore, this project marks the group's first full-scale attempt at acting.
Beyond their charm as idols, they are taking on new forms of expression. The show is directed by Kazuaki Hashimoto, a popular director known for hit content such as 'Ariyoshi no Kabe' and 'THE Golden Combi'.
By blending sketches, variety, and storytelling, he creates a digital program like no other. The project is co-produced by two companies that have generated hit content in the social media era: Nippon TV's vertical video boutique 'VIRAL POCKET' (known for 'Mainichi Hanikamu Bokutachi wa.') and the digital IP studio 'QREATION' (known for 'Honnichi mo Zettai Zetsumei.' and 'Ueda Shinya Kaiwai'). The 'Harajuku Terebi.' sitcom variety, a fusion of 'Kawaii' and 'Chaos', is finally beginning.
[Introduction]
A chaotic sitcom from Harajuku, where 'Kawaii' meets 'Chaos', is now on air! The stage is a small TV station in Harajuku called 'Harajuku Terebi.'. Once a hub for youth culture, it has been left behind by the times and is now in danger of shutting down. The station is being rebuilt by a quirky staff and cast: a somewhat unreliable station manager, overly free-spirited talent, a director who misses the mark, an out-of-control AD, and unique announcers.
From sponsor issues and cancellation threats to talent poaching and even acquisition by overseas companies, they struggle to overcome the troubles that rain down on them with wit and energy. Born from laughter and chaos, it is a passionate 'TV station youth ensemble drama' about clumsy adults. The Reiwa-era sitcom variety 'Harajuku Terebi.' starts from Harajuku.
