Vibration measurement sensors fitted on contestants\u2019 hands and feet will track their movement to eliminate those who moved more than 2.5 cm during a red light.<\/p>\n<p><em>Eat This Menu<\/em>, formerly known as <em>Stuck Till You\u2019re Done<\/em>, is a game show that challenges players to guess the top ten best-selling items off a menu of a restaurant. As a penalty for an incorrect guess, they have to eat that dish. No matter how long it takes or how full their stomach becomes, they can\u2019t leave the restaurant until they answer them all correctly.<\/p>\n<p>TV Asahi has partnered with Craig Plestis of Smart Dog Media (<em>The Masked Singer<\/em>) for both <em>Red Light Green Light<\/em> and <em>Eat This Menu<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Staying in the game-show genre, <em>Trick House<\/em> demands that its contestants stay calm while experiencing different kinds of pranks and tricks. Their composure is measured by their heart rate.<\/p>\n<p>The multiplatform game show <em>#Hash Tag<\/em> follows as demons chase escapers by tracking hashtags and photos posted by the public on social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The relationship series <em>Happily Ever Apart<\/em> is billed as a new style of divorce show. It sees unhappily married couples host a formal \u201cdivorce ceremony\u201d at a classy venue in front of guests (or it can be online). The true story behind their marriage gradually unfolds in an orderly and ceremonial manner. The show lets the couples sort out their roller coaster of emotions and prepare to move on positively to the future.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>VS KIDS<\/em>, former top athletes are challenged to beat kid champions in the same sport. \u201cThis competition format involves serious matches without handicaps,\u201d Nakamura says. \u201cIt is such an uplifting format that we believe it will be an ideal show as an icon for our triumph in the battle with Covid-19 and celebrate the good value of sports and passing the baton to the next generation.\u201d TV Asahi has partnered with Mad Chemists, a U.S. production company led by two industry professionals, on <em>VS KIDS<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ranking the Stars<\/em>, TV Asahi\u2019s longest-running format, found a new home on SAT.1 in Germany in 2020, thanks to its distribution partner Warner Bros. International Television Production. The format also counted its 17th season in the Netherlands in 2020 on RTL. \u201cThis studio-based celebrity ranking format is travel-ready,\u201d Nakamura says. \u201cIt involves a lot of talks but is easy to adjust to local markets\u2019 tastes by carefully selecting topics. It is easy to implement Covid-prevention measures, according to the Dutch producer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TV Asahi also has an attractive drama-series lineup, Nakamura points out. <em>Ossan\u2019s<\/em><em>Love<\/em> and <em>dele<\/em> target younger audiences and have caused social media buzz in Japan. <em>Ossan\u2019s<\/em> <em>Love<\/em> is a love story involving three male office mates \u201cthat defies many common values and makes you want to love someone,\u201d Nakamura says. It has been commissioned in Hong Kong and production is underway. <em>dele<\/em> is a high-concept drama about a duo who delete unfavorable digital data for clients after they die. It received the MIPCOM Buyers\u2019 Award for Japanese Drama in 2019. The show has been licensed in Korea and is under development.<\/p>\n<p><em>Doctor X<\/em>, which started in 2012, has been a top-performing drama series, with each season achieving number one ratings among all commercial broadcasters. The show features a strong female character, Michiko Daimon, a stunningly beautiful and stubbornly self-reliant freelance surgeon who prides herself on her skills and dignity as a surgeon.
