The new future TV service "ABEMA (Abema)" has decided to continue broadcasting the program "Warate GakuNARU!! Chou GT Party," which delivers race digests and original content enjoyable for beginners, in conjunction with the start of the 2026 season of "SUPER GT," Japan's top GT car race. The first episode, #1, covering the opening round "Rd.1 Okayama International Circuit," will be broadcast live starting at 21:00 on Friday, April 17, 2026.
The MCs who will liven up the program will continue to be the comedy trio Party-chan, as they were last year. Regarding the continuation of the program, Sugachan Saiko No.1 commented, "When the program continuation was decided, I was so happy that I called a samba troupe to my home and danced all night." Nobuko said, "Just enjoy the increasingly fun GT and us 💖💖," and Kyochi Kaneko said, "This year too, we will deliver the charm of GT to the fullest!!!"
This season, all rounds will be delivered on the Friday of the week following each tournament, starting at 21:00. In the program, we will focus on dynamic race digests, and invite guests such as directors and drivers, including Mr. Juichi Wakisaka of TGR TEAM SARD, to the studio each week, offering content that can be fully enjoyed by everyone from motorsport beginners to fans. Furthermore, as a new initiative starting this season, contents such as a new project "1-minute Study" where Party-chan learns about SUPER GT in one minute, and "Driver Interviews" that delve into the true faces of drivers from all 14 GT500 teams, are scheduled to be sequentially rolled out on official SNS (*).
In addition, in #1, scheduled to be broadcast from 21:00 on Friday, April 17th, we plan to broadcast footage of Party-chan making an on-site visit at the opening round "Rd.1 Okayama International Circuit," held on Saturday, April 11th and Sunday, April 12th. Please pay attention to their efforts to negotiate the distribution of program stickers for PR purposes and the important role of waving the green flag to signal the start of the race.
Furthermore, the theme song for this season's program has been decided to be "Koshitantan" by the popular rock band BIGMAMA. Kanai Masato, a member who is a SUPER GT fan, expressed his motorsport-loving thoughts, saying, "It is a great honor as an artist to have the opportunity to be involved in the world of SUPER GT through our music. At the same time, I would be happy if our songs reach many motorsport fans."
Please enjoy "Warate GakuNARU!! Chou GT Party," which fuses the excitement of motorsports with the fun of variety shows, for free on "ABEMA."
