■Celebrating 200 Episodes! The free admission public recording event will be broadcast on Wednesday, June 17th!
BS Asahi's mountaineering program "Soko ni Yama ga Aru Kara" (Because There's a Mountain), which began broadcasting in April 2022 (every Wednesday at 10:30 PM), explores the mountains of Japan weekly with the theme of "cast members climbing the mountains they want to climb and enjoying the seasonal magnificent scenery." Mountain climbing is completely free. Participants showcase their unique ways of enjoying the mountains, such as trying out their favorite mountain gear, capturing mountain flora with their cameras, or savoring mountain meals. Furthermore, they trace ancient memories by learning about the history hidden in each mountain and introduce the magnificent scenery woven by nature with powerful drone footage.
This program will reach its 200th broadcast on Wednesday, June 17th. To commemorate this, a program event "Sokoyama Festival" will be held on Saturday, June 6th, at Futako Tamagawa Rise Studio & Hall in Tokyo, bringing together regular cast members Manami Honjo, Yoko Minamino, Takatoshi Kaneko, and Nao Minamisawa. Furthermore, the event will be broadcast as a "200th Broadcast Anniversary Special" from 10:30 PM on Wednesday, June 17th.
At the event, the four members—Honjo, Minamino, Kaneko, and Minamisawa—will engage in a must-see talk for mountaineering enthusiasts, sharing the charm of mountains they felt through the program, behind-the-scenes stories from filming, and unforgettable recommended scenic spots. In addition, there will be live performances by musicians whose messages resonate with the program's concept, such as ROTH BART BARON (Masaya Mifune SOLO), who performs the program's theme song "Gokusaishiki | I G L (S)," and Tabito Nanao, who has pioneered the music scene with numerous representative songs like "Circus Night" and has been praised as a "genius" for his expressive power since his debut in '98. There will also be event-exclusive booths set up by sponsoring partners, making it a "festival" style event that is a bit different from a typical talk event or fan meeting.
