Hirano Sho (Number_i) and Watanabe Naomi team up for the first time as MCs! Special program "3people 1minute" to be broadcast

■A stellar lineup including SKY-HI, RIEHATA, Travis Payne, MEGUMI, and Kato Koji have decided on the No. 1 performance that can be enjoyed worldwide!

From singing, dancing, magic, art to one-liners… Anything goes as long as it’s “up to three people and up to one minute”!

The special program “3people 1minute,” which will determine the world’s best performance with a prize of 3 million yen, will be broadcast from 9pm on July 23rd.

The MCs will be Hirano Sho (Number_i) and Watanabe Naomi, both of whom are active around the world, teaming up for the first time.

The judges are also a luxurious lineup of “world-class” judges!

SKY-HI is the creator of BE:FIRST and a charismatic figure leading the Japanese music scene.
RIEHATA has choreographed for many international artists, including BTS.
Travis Payne, a living legend who choreographed for Michael Jackson.
MEGUMI is an icon of strong, beautiful women in the Reiwa era.
The word “sontaku” does not exist in this man’s dictionary! Koji Kato, Japan’s Simon Cowell.

The only criterion for judging is “Would you want to see it again?”

The contestants for this unprecedented contest include “the strongest brother and sister in ballroom dancing, four consecutive victories at the All Japan Championships” and “the next generation of magicians recognized by the world.”
Top-class performers from different genres, including the “winning team of the Costume Grand Prix” and the “best smoke performer in Japan.”

Which performer will win the hearts of the world-class judges and take home the 3 million yen prize?

■ Comment from Naomi Watanabe
It was so much fun! I was so excited from start to finish.
It made me realise once again that there are performers from so many different genres, and although everyone was laughing at first, they were crying by the end, right?
■ Comment from Sho Hirano
You showed a variety of emotions!
Nowadays, entertainment can be seen in many different forms, but I think everyone watching on TV will be holding their breath!
