ABEMA's 'Shuffle Island Season 7' Announces Collaboration with Dark Boxing Studio 'b-monster' to Commemorate Its Broadcast Premiere

ABEMA, the television network shaping the future, will begin broadcasting its original dating reality show 'Shuffle Island Season 7' on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at 9:00 PM. To mark the premiere, a special collaboration with the dark boxing studio 'b-monster' has been announced.

'Shuffle Island' is an ABEMA original dating reality show where stunningly fit men and women, stripped of their armor and gathered on two islands, must follow a rule: every day, the members on the 'Pink' and 'Blue' islands must 'shuffle' (switch islands). As participants move between the islands, they follow their instincts and pursue genuine romance. First aired in 2021, this seventh season takes place on Koh Samui, Thailand, where the tropical setting amplifies raw emotions, desires, and passionate love. Against a backdrop of unpredictable encounters and breakups, the interplay of jealousy and emotional tactics forms the heart of the drama. The studio MCs for this season are Yashiki Hiromasa of the comedy duo New York, talent Minami Minegishi, popular influencer Yuki Kiyomura (aka 'Yukipoyo'), and actor Fukki Suzuki.

This collaboration will bring the world of 'Shuffle Island' to life through b-monster's signature elements: a pitch-dark environment, high-volume music, and dynamic lighting effects. The special program will feature songs selected by the new season's cast members as their 'workout playlist,' allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the show's atmosphere. Additionally, a special session featuring six b-monster performers and popular cast members from past seasons will be held. Participants include Shin, who gained widespread attention in 'Shuffle Island Season 6' and boasts over 1 million social media followers※, along with other fan-favorite cast members from previous seasons. As a limited-time bonus, original branded T-shirts will be given away.

'Shuffle Island Season 7,' set on the tropical resort island of Koh Samui in Thailand, follows members as they 'shuffle' daily between the 'Pink' and 'Blue' islands in search of love. The series begins free streaming on ABEMA from 9:00 PM on Tuesday, July 7, 2026. Don't miss this unique collaboration, which brings the passionate romance and liberating tropical vibes of 'Shuffle Island' from screen to real-life experience.
