[Episode Introduction]
#1 SUPER FORMULA Takunoshin Ota / Ren Sato (DOCOMO TEAM DANDELION RACING) "A True Record of a 1/1000 Second Battle."
Japan's highest-tier formula car race series "SUPER FORMULA." Close coverage of the 8th round final of the 2025 season held at Sportsland SUGO. Simultaneous close coverage from various perspectives surrounding the race, including not only the drivers but also commentators and fans. What was happening behind the scenes at that time, on that stage?
#2 BOXING Naoya Inoue (Ohashi Boxing Gym) "Behind the Scenes of a World Title Match: The Battleground is IG Arena"
The "Four-Belt Unified World Super Bantamweight Title Match" between Naoya Inoue and Murodjon Akhmadaliev held on September 14, 2025. This was Naoya Inoue's 26th world title match, reigning as the unified world super bantamweight champion across four organizations. His opponent was Murodjon Akhmadaliev (Uzbekistan), highly touted as the "strongest challenger."
The venue was IG Arena in Nagoya. This domestic largest-class "world standard" global arena hosts a variety of events, from sports viewing to music live performances and international competitions. This once-in-a-century battle was covered from all angles, not only focusing on the athletes but also the passionate feelings of Chairman Ohashi, the tension and excitement intertwined in the commentary booth, and the "battleground" created by the IG Arena setup staff on "that day."
