Inviting Ayato Amikura and Masaaki Nindo, who are knowledgeable about Nikola Tesla, as guests, the show delves into Tesla's unknown ideologies and the energy vested-interest structures behind his rivalry with Edison. Furthermore, experts will sharply cut into the genius's hidden side and the truths of the unseen world, touching upon innovative concepts that connect to the modern era, such as wireless power transmission and free energy, and the possibility that these have been kept secret at military and national levels.

■ Program Overview
'Why not create a new legend that transcends urban legends together?'
Urban legends—they are 'surface stories' that everyone already knows. But there are still 'secret stories' that haven't come to light. Hints to getting closer to the truth might be hidden there. Many of you might have thought 'I can't believe that' about the things Mr. Urban Legend, Akio Seki, has conveyed so far. But look back. Don't you think his words are surprisingly 'not lies'?
Japan is currently standing at a major turning point. Why not take a new step forward together with those who are seriously thinking about the future? There are truths that cannot be fully conveyed on TV, and deep conversations that cannot be expressed on other streaming platforms. There is a 'true story' that can only be delivered because of this program.
Come, let's change the world together!
