Legendary Music Program 'Futari no Big Show' Starts Streaming on April 1st!

Starting April 1, 2026, NHK On Demand will begin monthly streaming of high-definition, high-quality remastered versions of 'Futari no Big Show.' This music program aired on General TV for 10 years starting in 1993. It was a popular stage show where two big stars performed music and engaged in conversation without a host. Beyond their hit songs, the talks often revealed surprising commonalities, hidden past encounters, and even unscripted episodes. Some performances feature star collaborations that would be impossible to see today! From April 1, 10 episodes will be released every month.

Additionally, we are releasing the popular historical entertainment program 'Time Scoop Hunter' for the first time! This show features 'space-time journalists' who travel back to the Sengoku and Edo periods to report on the lives of ordinary people. All 80 episodes, including special editions from the six seasons aired between 2009 and 2014, will be released sequentially starting April 1. Starring Jun Kaname, Anne, and others. Finally, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the NHK Symphony Orchestra this October, we are streaming 100 of their greatest performances. Since January 2026, we have been releasing highlights from 'N-Kyo Hour' and 'Classic Music Hall.' Enjoy performances by various conductors, from Herbert Blomstedt and Wolfgang Sawallisch to current chief conductor Fabio Luisi, accompanied by accessible commentary.
