Old Enough!

Share the refreshing wonder, amazement, humor and charm of little children going on "big adventures" - running errands on their own for the very first time.


Old Enough captures the refreshing wonder, amazement, and charm of little children going on "big adventures" - running errands on their own for the very first time. The children are filled with a sense of determination and noble purpose, and whether excited and overjoyed about the mission, overwhelmed with fear, or filled with boldness and courage, they are all irresistibly adorable every step of the way!
Already a cultural phenomenon in Japan, Old Enough has been a prime time hit for over 30 years! It's a proven ratings powerhouse across all demographics and is sure to draw an audience anywhere it is produced. Old Enough can even be done in many alternative ways to meet the various production and cultural standards of the producing country.
In all cases, the producers meticulously gather research from parents and parental organizations, and parents decide the appropriate challenge for each child. Sometimes it's cooking the family dinner, folding the family's clothes, or going on an errand in town. And when the kids hit the streets, it is always under the watchful eye of hidden cameras and the show's safety team, who are disguised as joggers, passersby, or gardeners. No matter the situation, the team is never more than a few steps away.
See why educators, parents' groups, and parents have hailed the show for its charming portrayal of the parent-child bond. You're sure to smile and sigh and maybe cry a tear or two as you visit people and places right along with the little ones on their errands. Frequently compared to "Kids Say the Darndest Things" and "Funniest Home Videos," Old Enough continues in the tradition of lovable, family programming. It's unpredictable. It's original. It's can't miss family entertainment.

Doki Doki Video

Faced with shocking videos, can you remain expressionless?
"Doki Doki Video" is a new format which puts celebrities to the test to hold back their facial expressions while facing the most shocking viral videos.
The rule is quite simple…
“Don’t reveal your emotions on your face”.
No laughing, no crying, don’t be surprised!
Can the guests endure staring at the shocking videos?

In this unique combination of observation reality and competitive game show, celebrities compete in a tournament to see who can endure 12 videos without showing any emotion.

Videos are about 10 seconds long and grouped into two genres—shocking and funny. See if you don’t scream in surprise when someone enters a seemingly empty toilet and suddenly a wild squirrel comes hurling at the camera with frightening force, when a huge sign falls near a passerby on the sidewalk, or when a wild bear lunges at a car window. Try to not burst out in laughter when a husband can’t stop wincing as his wife removes his unwanted hair, or when a parent comes home to see that their baby’s face has been drawn on.

Once the funny/shocking twist is revealed, the focus turns to the celebrity contestants’ reactions, stripping them of one heart point if they make noises or show significant facial expressions. 

If they react or laugh twice in one round, they lose both hearts, at which point they must leave the competition.

Contestants who make it through the preliminary rounds advance to the finals, where more shocking or hilarious videos await. The celebrity who manages to endure to the very end is awarded a gorgeous prize, declared the winner, and given the prestigious title of "Champion of No Reaction".

This format is sure to be a hit among viewers of all ages as it keeps them on the edge of their seats, appeals to the human desire to see celebrities from a different angle, and offers a glimpse into how they react to the most shocking videos. The close-ups of contestant reactions work well and are often as funny to watch as the shocking/funny videos themselves.

Get your game face ready for the ultimate video battle!

Meet me there

If you get a handwritten letter saying "Meet me there", where would you go?
Every couple has a special place that marks a turning point in their love story. Friends associate their fondest moment with where it happened. Even buddy cops have a soft spot for that unforgettable place that defines their career. But as the months turn into years, will two people still share the same memory?

"Meet me there."
If all you get is a handwritten letter from that person with these words, where would you go?

As morning turns to dark, the wife gets increasingly anxious and frustrated. Waiting in the cold, she's pretty certain about the places he might have gone instead. But for her, there is one she treasures most, and that's where she holds out until the very end, hoping he will remember.

Viewers cross their fingers hoping that the man picks the right spot off the bat. His first choice is where he proposed. She wasn't there. Confused and flustered, he travels miles to their first date. Wrong again. His confidence is deflated, but he must keep searching.

Love is indeed a rollercoaster, even for the observer, and the longer the detour, the sweeter the reunion. Emotions have had all day to build up, so when he finally arrives, the weary wife opens the floodgates to all the sweet memories. He might have thought that the spot where he proposed, or where their child was born, were most important. He learns why she had someplace else in mind. If anything, they get to know each other better.

Whether it's your favorite comedian or athlete trying to go back to that unforgettable spot they share with their spouse, friend, coworker, or maybe even ex, "Meet me there" gives a rare, intimate look into relationships and invites you to look back on your own. How long will it take your special person to meet you at your special place?

Ghostwriter to the rescue

Celebrity ghostwrites the most important script of your life.
Celebrities who have made a name for themselves for being funny, romantic, or dramatic come to the rescue so that you can have your day in the sun. We all need a little help with what to say or do on those special moments. With "Ghostwriter to the rescue," you get a celebrity who has said it all and done it all, in front of the world, to ghostwrite the most important script of your life.

Budding voice actor Tats has been in love with his classmate Luna for over a year and is finally ready to ask her out, but the 21-year-old is at a complete loss on what to say! An entertainer with a flair for romance takes him under his wing and vows to write a script that will surely capture her heart. The ghostwriter's plan is elaborate: the two will be paired together in an audition, which she doesn't know is fake, and Tats will suddenly confess his love. Back at the studio, the ghostwriter watches the nerve-wracking "audition" and awaits Luna's response. Did things go according to his supposedly foolproof plan?

It's all said and done. The teary-eyed ghostwriter and his fellow cast members gather their composure as they move on to the next script. A new kindergarten teacher is finally getting the hang of things and wants to put on a fun show for her students. Helping her out is a comedian who is wildly popular with kids. He wastes no time creating an act that would go on to be performed in front of 350 girls and boys. After five days of countless rehearsals, it's show time!

"Ghostwrite to the rescue" taps into the creative genius of famous entertainers to allow people from all walks of life to have their time to shine. With the same passion that got them to where they are, the celebrity ghostwriters listen, consult, and pour their heart out to help. But when the curtains open, it all comes down to the one person on stage.

What if you could leap off from the world's highest bungee jump in Macau? Or say "Will you be mine?" in a romantic setting? How about swimming with dolphins in Hawaii? Skydiving?

When you're plunging down a tower at 200 kilometers per hour, on your bended knee asking for her hand, or enjoying the deep blue waters of the pacific, it might be difficult to care about anything else in the world. But the celebrity guests in the studio, two emcees, and those watching at home all care about you. They're with you at 233 meters above ground, or at the edge of that plane door, moments from screaming off your timid, passive self. Worries wash away as you dive in with the dolphins. Hearts melt as she says "yes."

Share your journey of growth and transform not only yourself, but also those watching. If you're tired of thinking too much before acting, then "Grab the Chance"!

The Delicious Journey

言われるマンマ

"The Delicious Journey" is a reality game show / travelogue searching for the best dish of someone’s whole life.

The following question is asked to people walking by…“What is the dish you really want to eat again?” The answer would be for example: “The sushi I ate on my trip to Hokkaido”, or “The tempura I ate at a dingy hotel in Kyoto”, etc. Once the answer is given, the group of travellers (celebrities) must go to the site and eat that dish regardless of their will. If they sense that the site is too far or the dish is not attractive during the conversation / before the person tells them the name of the site, they can refuse to take the journey. They are not allowed to eat or drink anything (except water) until they reach the site, and once they eat the dish, they must call the person who told them of the dish to thank them and to confirm if the dish is the one that he/she meant. After the celebrities arrived at the site, they must negotiate with the owner by themselves to film the restaurant.
The ultimate goal is to reach all the states in the country. In addition, if an already-visited restaurant is raised, they must go to that site again, but they are not allowed to eat that dish. In case the restaurant is closed or the owner refuses to be filmed, they also cannot eat and must go on to the next destination on an empty stomach. The personal gourmet filled with individual’s precious memories leads the cast to harsh but delicious journey to remember!

This program could be adapted in any country with simple rules and low budget but in each episode, lords of roadside stories will automatically unfold. Therefore the series can last for long term with different group of celebrities or different states. The original Japanese show has already broadcasted more than fifteen episodes so far and still ongoing as a segment of a popular variety show “GARIGERU”. The program has started in 2010 and has been aired more than 170 episodes in Japan so far. As an experimental variety show, it has produced various kinds of segments that are related to the main theme of the program, “human bonds”. In 2012, a special episode of The Delicious Journey Thai version was made in coproduction with Thai terrestrial TV channel BEC (Ch3) and aired in July 2013. The episode has received the top viewer ratings in the same time zone in Thailand.
The viewers have the opportunity to see how people react when they are really hungry and also to gain information of local delicious dishes. This is fun entertainment show for the entire family.

KOSO KOSO

Territories handled by Nippon TV:Asia(excl. India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan)


Comedy gameshow, where celebrity secret agents prank unsuspecting contestants to win them a cash prize.
In Koso Koso, contestants think they are in a reality show, unaware of the secret squad of celebrity agents constantly observing their every move! These undercover agents must skilfully complete ridiculous missions without arousing suspicion to win cash for the clueless contestants. With missions such as "Supermarket Sneak," where agents must hit targets on players' backs while they casually browse the shopping aisles, to the iconic "Night Mission," where they must execute tasks without waking sleeping contestants, the suspense and laughter are guaranteed. Once the missions conclude, the biggest secret is revealed: contestants find out about the gameshow they never knew they were playing and face a final challenge to win the cash prize.

With laugh-out-loud missions and big secret reveals, the surreal and instantly shareable content defines this unique, family gameshow with a twist.

Coming BINGO

This is not an ordinary BINGO game!

The numbers are based on a questionnaire of 25 people not just random.
Each team asks the 25 people a question, and the number of “YES” answers opens up on both team’s BINGOs.

The 25 respondents have the same unique professions like gangs, athletes, or hostesses. Both teams consider the questions expecting the number of “YES” from their profession.

They cut to the chase and answer honestly with answers we hardly expect.
The hidden secrets of their professions are revealed.
