GACKT, Kisumai, Takanori Iwata, NiziU, Moka Kamishiraishi and others will participate! “Check celebrity ratings! ” New Year’s special broadcast decided

■GACKT’s teammates will be announced on the program on the day it airs!

From 17:00 on January 1, 2025, “Celebrity Rating Check!” It has been decided that the 2025 New Year Special will be broadcast.

“Check celebrity ratings! ”, with Masatoshi Hamada as the moderator, top-class celebrities form a team and undergo rating checks in six genres such as taste and pitch. A variety show with a rating that is steadily decreasing in rank to “no value (disappears from the screen)”.

This time’s “Celebrity Rating Check! 2025 New Year Special” will be attended by GACKT, the absolute champion with an unprecedented 76 consecutive individual victories. Will GACKT be able to extend his individual winning streak as they check out “wine”, “Michelin chef”, “ikebana”, “noh”, etc.? GACKT’s teammates will be announced on the program on the day of the broadcast. .

Other teams include Yukiyoshi Ozawa, Takanori Iwata, Paris Olympic fencing bronze medalists Misaki Emura and Hanaya Miyawaki, Eiji Akaso, Moka Kamishiraishi, Kis-My-Ft2, and NiziU, all participating for the first time.

This time as well, GACKT’s first challenge is to check out the customary New Year’s “wine”. If you’re at a top-class hotel, you’ll drink and compare the highest quality wines that cost less than 1 million yen a bottle and wines that cost 5,000 yen a bottle, but if you introduce the brand or vintage of the wine, some people, like GACKT, will know, so it won’t be revealed in advance. . When asked by Hamada about his level of confidence, GACKT calmly replied, “I definitely won’t be disappointed.”

During the actual tasting, GACKT holds up a dragon glass that he designed exclusively for GACKT, examines the color and lees, and deduces the red wine’s variety, region of origin, age, etc. Hamada was impressed, saying, “The level of worry is different,” but he looked at GACKT, who kept repeating wine jargon, with an exasperated look on his face, saying, “What are you talking about just now?”

On the other hand, Masaru Ozawa, whose father is the world-famous conductor Seiji Ozawa, is attracting attention for the “String Octet” check, which will feature the tones of world-famous instruments for a total of 7.95 billion yen, the highest amount in the history of the program. Ecstasy. Was Ozawa able to inherit his father’s feelings?

Kis-My-Ft2, all of whom are participating in the race for the first time, asks, “Why didn’t you call me until now?” “We’ve been together for over 20 years, so we understand each other,” he says, emphasizing the quality of their teamwork.

In the program, a golden “GACKT-sama private room” will be prepared this time as well so that GACKT’s answers will not be revealed to other teams. However, the absolute champion GACKT is once again in danger…!? It will be interesting to see what will happen to GACKT’s individual winning streak.
