Relief Among Fans: “So Glad It Wasn’t Shelved”

Social media has been buzzing with joy following the announcement. Because some time has passed since the initial filming, many fans expressed their gratitude and relief with comments like, “I’m so thankful they are airing this instead of letting it go unreleased,” and “I’m so happy to see these six together.” Furthermore, after the program producer mentioned that streaming views are crucial for the show’s success, fans have been actively encouraging one another to watch via the TVer catch-up service.

Broadcast Schedule

The episodes will air on TV Tokyo at the following times:

  • Episode 1: Monday, May 18, at 24:30
  • Episode 2: Monday, June 1, at 24:30
  • Episode 3: Monday, June 8, at 24:30
  • Episode 4: Thursday, June 11, at 26:05

The program will also be available on TVer after the terrestrial broadcast, allowing fans across Japan to enjoy this “Golden” holiday.

The context

This special program is a tie-in for the “Osomatsu-san” (Mr. Osomatsu) franchise, which is based on Fujio Akatsuka’s classic 1960s manga “Osomatsu-kun.” The series follows the lives of six identical, mischievous, and unemployed sextuplets. The cast of this variety special consists of popular idols from the Kansai region belonging to STARTO ENTERTAINMENT (formerly Johnny & Associates). The term “okura-iri” (shelved) was frequently used by fans because the production had been delayed or kept quiet for some time, leading to fears that it might never see the light of day. In Japan, “TVer” is the primary free streaming platform for major commercial television networks, and high view counts on the platform are often used as a metric for a show’s popularity and potential for future seasons.
