“Ranking of the most amazing dancers in the entertainment industry” announced in a special program featuring Nakajima Kento and Sakagami Shinobu

■ “As a professional myself, I want to keep a close eye on the rankings and be inspired by them” (Nakajima Kento)

Sakagami Shinobu and Nakajima Kento will be appearing on the special program “The True No. 1 Professional Ranking Selected by Professionals in Their Field,” which will be broadcast live on TBS from 9:00 p.m. on October 7th.

This program is an enhanced version of the well-received “Tell Me the Truth Rankings” that has aired twice in the past. It is a ranking program that will announce the “forbidden rankings” live, determined by serious voting by professionals who have mastered their fields.

The theme of this time was “dance,” which has become a hot topic as an increasingly popular form of self-expression among young people with an increasing number of videos being posted on social media and which has also been officially adopted as an Olympic event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

■Who will be crowned the No. 1 dancer in the entertainment industry?
We are announcing the “Best Dancers in the Entertainment Industry Ranking,” a ranking determined by a serious vote of professional dancers and choreographers among dance and vocal groups and solo artists who have debuted with Japanese talent agencies. The rankings are divided into two age groups: “The latest skills are on display! Up-and-coming 20s division” and “Legends compete fiercely in the 30s division.” In the entertainment industry where dance masters gather, who will be crowned No. 1?

In addition, in the “Ranking of Dance & Vocal Groups Who Are Considered to Have the Best Dances in the Entertainment Industry,” we will announce the “Best Dancers” group that will shine at the top of this era of super warring dance & vocal groups. There will also be a live studio performance by the selected top dancers in the entertainment industry. Don’t miss this one-night-only special stage. Other highly anticipated dancer rankings will be announced one after another.

■Sakagami Shinobu and Nakajima Kento will be watching the live broadcast!
The “opinion leader” who will be watching over the rankings live will be Shinobu Sakagami, a professional in the entertainment industry with over 50 years of experience. The “presenter” who will add color to the show will be professional idol Kento Nakajima.

■ Comment from Kento Nakajima
With the popularity of social media, I think people’s thoughts about “dance” have evolved compared to previous generations, and the value of dance has become even more highly valued.
I was once impressed by the dance team that I work with, who performed a solo show and thrilled many audience members, and I believe that we are now in an era where dance can be used to express oneself and prove one’s existence even more strongly.
As an idol, I love dancing and I admire people who love dancing and who seem to enjoy dancing.
As a professional myself, I will be closely watching the rankings and looking forward to being inspired.

■ Comment from Shinobu Sakagami
Every time, I find myself nodding in agreement as to why professionals recommend their rivals as No. 1. I was just blown away by the breaking at the Paris Olympics, but this time I’m going to enjoy the depth of dance through a live broadcast.
