NTV has confirmed that popular group Arashi will have a new prime time show starting this spring. Tentatively titled “Arashi ni Shiyagare,” the show will occupy the Saturday 10:00pm time slot left open by “Enta no Kamisama,” which is ending in March.

The program is described as an improvised entertainment variety show. Each episode will feature a guest celebrity, but the members of Arashi will not be told in advance who the guest is nor what the guest will be doing on the show.

It appears that the main segment of the show will have a different guest each week to teach the Arashi members an entertainment skill in various fields, including comedy, rakugo, and kabuki. Called “The Set,” this segment will take place on various “sets,” such as a theater or kabuki stage.

“Arashi ni Shiyagare” premieres in April. Arashi already hosts two other shows during prime time.

I’m looking forward to this, what can be better than Arashi plus no script and unknown guests? I have no doubt that the the boys will do wonderfully.

Does this also mean that Shukudai-kun will end?! No more Ogu-san, pink talks and Aibaland?? Let’s all hope that the new program is an addition and not a replacement. The boys are certainly going to be mecha busy, ganbare!
