■M!LK’s Sano Hayato takes on “Zuzuzuz Box,” in which he keeps walking while holding a box, while SixTONES’ Tanaka Juri takes on “Zuzuzuz Komagoma,” in which he completes small tasks!
The special program “Zokuzoku ~Zokuzoku~” will be broadcast on Nippon Television for two consecutive weeks from 2 p.m. on May 26th and June 2nd, and will feature more than 30 celebrities in total, including Shibuya Nagisa, Matsushima So from timelesz, Tanaka Juri from SixTONES, Matsuda Genta and Miyachika Kaito from Travis Japan, Hayami Akari, Mamiya Shotaro, Sano Hayato and Sono Shunta from M!LK, and more.
“Zokuzoku ~Zokuzoku~” is a get-rich-quick game variety show that gives thrills to both the challengers and the viewers, as the prize money goes sky-high if you keep completing missions that anyone can do, such as “Keep moving boxes that are stacked endlessly without knocking them over!”, “Push others aside and stay on camera!”, and “Keep completing small tasks!” There is no MC, and all the performers are challengers. Highlights include the battle between STARTO seniors and juniors, and the battle between members from female idol groups.
■ Incandescent! Just keep walking with the box in hand! “Zokuzoku Box”
One of the most exciting missions is “Boxes Continue to Continue.” The challenge is to carry boxes that are piled up endlessly and just keep walking! The challenge ends when the boxes collapse or when you go off course.
This is a mission to get rich quick, where you can win 1,000 yen for every meter you move, and 30,000 yen for just moving 30 meters around the track. Furthermore, boxes are added with each lap, making it an extremely hot challenge with increasing difficulty. Only the challenger who moves the furthest can get the large prize money.
Because the box is light, gender and physical handicaps are not an issue. The mission requires a sense of balance and concentration. Nagisa Shibuya, who won the prize money and is excited to “buy an electric bicycle!”, makes an unexpected advance.
Furthermore, M!LK’s Sano Hayato also confidently stated, “I bought a cactus about 180cm tall a while ago. I carried it home by myself (without knocking it over), so I think I can do it!” Expectations are also high for Sekiguchi Mandy, who worked part-time as a mover throughout his early years. Actor Hamano Kenta also makes an emergency appearance to compete against young entertainers who boast of their physical strength. His record collapsed as soon as the start, reaching 0m. With so many contestants like this, who will improve his record the most and win the prize money?
■ On the slightly tedious (!?) task mission, SixTONES’ Tanaka Juri said, “I hope I don’t get annoyed. I want to do it calmly.”
“Zokuzoku Komagoma” is a challenge to complete small tasks that can be a bit tedious in daily life. The tasks are all a bit irritating, but anyone can do them, such as “replace the batteries in the remote control,” “remove all the staples from a stapler,” “put socks inside out,” and “put a photo in a photo frame.” Furthermore, each task is assigned 15 seconds. Once you complete one task, the next one will appear one after another. The prize money increases with each completion. This mission tests not only your manual dexterity but also your mental strength to withstand pressure.
SixTONES’ Tanaka Juri commented before the challenge, “I hope I don’t get irritated. The moment I get irritated, I really can’t do anything. I want to stay calm and do it.” His words seem to have seen through the essence of this mission, and expectations are high… but let’s keep an eye on the results.
Other famous entertainers also take on the challenge, including actor Hitoshi Ozawa and Hiroshi Fujioka, who took on the challenge while grumbling, “I don’t know why I’m doing this.” Who will be the most successful and take home the prize money?
In “Successive Shutter,” handsome, talented actors wearing bubble balls push each other around, knocking others away, as they are constantly captured on randomly-released camera shutters. Women such as Hayami Akari, Ogura Yuko, Shibuya Nagisa, and Tensho Ai battle using not only physical strength but also strategy. There are also missions that test not only physical strength and footwork, but also humanity, such as “Successive Flash Panel,” in which players must continually step on panels at their feet, and a challenge to eat increasingly spicy dishes to the limit.
