New Season Regular Programs "ABEMA BOATRACE COLORS" "Tokimeki Fanfare SECOND" and "Naminori SPLASH CAFE Store No. 2"

The BOATRACE Promotion Association (Roppongi, Minato-ku) will begin broadcasting the new season of its regular programs on ABEMA's "BOATRACE Channel": "ABEMA BOATRACE COLORS 'Tokimeki Fanfare SECOND'" and "ABEMA BOATRACE COLORS 'Naminori SPLASH CAFE Store No. 2'" starting at 7:00 PM on Friday, April 3rd, 2026, and Saturday, April 4th, 2026, respectively. These programs will deliver various segments, including live broadcasts of BOATRACE events nationwide, information on notable racers, and race predictions, all from Roppongi.

"ABEMA BOATRACE COLORS 'Tokimeki Fanfare SECOND'," airing every Friday at 7:00 PM, will feature Cro-chan (Yasuda Daisukus) as MC, with Reina Tanaka, Rin Okabe, and idol/model "Crew-chan" forming three teams. Each team will compete by accumulating points through BOATRACE predictions and various other segments. This new season will include a "Draft Selection" segment to choose new members from Crew-chan candidates, and occasional location shoots where Crew-chan members visit BOATRACE venues to showcase the attractions, including gourmet food.

The program will feature segments that test team cohesion, such as race prediction battles, "Sing it Right! One Chorus Karaoke," and "Mystery Solving! Favorite Racer Quiz." Information focusing on the characteristics of racecourses and entry lists will also be provided to enhance viewers' enjoyment of BOATRACE predictions. The team with the most points throughout the season will receive a luxurious reward from the program, while the last-place team will face a harsh penalty. The number of viewer comments will also be important. The drama unique to team battles is also a highlight.

Furthermore, "ABEMA BOATRACE COLORS 'Naminori SPLASH CAFE Store No. 2'," airing every Saturday at 7:00 PM, will feature MC Shingo Fujimori playing the role of a cafe master where BOATRACE enthusiasts gather. He will take on various challenges with the cafe staff (male idols/actors) and apprentice pâtissiers (female talents)!

In the studio, segments like the "12-Second Challenge," where a true or false decision must be made within 12 seconds, inspired by the large clock at BOATRACE venues, and "Today's Dolce," where racers' characteristics and backgrounds are introduced and a dolce inspired by the racer's hometown is recommended, will liven things up. Additionally, a new segment is planned where the "Apprentice Pâtissier" will visit a BOATRACE venue and convey its charm from a female perspective through VTR. The program will also delve deeper into BOATRACE predictions from various viewpoints, providing information to enhance the enjoyment of BOATRACE. Through ever-changing members and unique talks and segments that can only be seen here, we will deliver moments that make BOATRACE more accessible and enjoyable.
