ABEMA, the "new future TV," is exclusively streaming the 8-episode special program "H//PE Princess High School! Princess," the first crown program for the 7-member global HIPHOP girl group H//PE Princess.

■ What is "H//PE Princess High School! Princess"?
H//PE Princess is a 7-member group formed in 2025 through a joint Japan-Korea audition program. Before their debut in the first half of 2026, they have shown exceptional activity, including guest appearances at performances by Takanori Iwata (J SOUL BROTHERS III) and the popular Korean hip-hop duo Dynamic Duo. This time, they are taking on a Japanese variety show for the first time.
The program begins with the 7 members of H//PE Princess, born from the joint Japan-Korea audition, knocking on the door of a Japanese dance specialized high school. They are given an extremely challenging mission: to successfully perform a joint performance with 7 active high school dancers, totaling 14 people, at a graduation event just two days later. Inspired by the skills of the high school students, who also work as professional backup dancers, the H//PE Princess members struggle and strive, but ultimately manage to perfect their performance—a true depiction of youth. During the limited two-day practice period, special training begins with teams divided. Despite the frustration of language barriers, they unite their hearts through gestures, primarily led by members who can speak both Japanese and Korean.
Furthermore, pay attention to the members' "life-sized true selves" shown behind the scenes of their performance. After practice, high school students invite H//PE Princess members to their homes, and exchange meetings are held for each team. By talking about their future dreams and anxieties, a strong bond beyond mere co-stars begins to form. The high school students even prepare Japanese gourmet food as a treat for the hardworking members, and there's a fresh, touching scene where the members' eyes sparkle with感動 at the new tastes. On the day of the main performance, can the 14 girls, transcending national borders, create a miraculous stage in three days? Please watch this moving record that you won't be able to take your eyes off for a moment.
