The popular variety show King's Brunch (王様のブランチ), which airs on TBS, is making waves as it prepares to celebrate its monumental 30th anniversary. The special 8-hour broadcast will kick off on March 29, 2025, at 9:30 AM, showcasing the show’s most beloved segments from the beautiful backdrop of Hawaii.
Since its inception back in April 1996, King's Brunch has been delighting audiences with its mix of gourmet, travel, entertainment, and trend information for over four hours every Saturday. This upcoming special aims to commemorate the show's enduring legacy with six regular members on board, including MC 佐藤栞里 (Sato Shiori), 藤森慎吾 (Fujimori Shingo), ニッチェ (Niche), 丸山礼 (Maruyama Rei), and 小林麗菜 (Kobayashi Reina), who will all participate in the Hawaii leg of the broadcast.
Viewers can look forward to extravagant re-imaginings of popular segments such as '買い物の達人' (Shopping Master), where regular guests usually compete for shopping funds. This time, the stakes are higher with distinguished singer 広瀬香美 (Hirose Komei) making her debut on the segment. Traditionally offering 100,000 yen, this special edition will see her allotted funds increased to 300,000 yen for the occasion.
The catch, as usual, is the use of NGワード (forbidden words), which will deduct 5,000 yen each time she says one. Listeners can also anticipate her powerful vocals during this segment, highlighted by her renowned hit "ロマンスの神様" (Romance's God), promising electrifying moments for fans.
The program won't just focus on shopping; it will also treat viewers to mouth-watering culinary delights. The 'MY BESTグルメ' (My Best Gourmet) Hawaii version will see celebrity guests, including アンミカ (Anmika) and 中尾明慶 (Nakao Akihiro), showcasing their favorite local dining spots. The tantalizing food selections are destined to be crowd-pleasers, but humor and heartfelt moments are sure to surface, with Sato reportedly tearing up at one point during Anmika’s revelations.
On top of all this, fans can expect unique situations and unforeseen challenges during the Hawaii location shoot, adding unexpected twists to the usual format of King's Brunch. This tropical setting is anticipated to not only invigorate the show but also bring laughs and smiles to viewers every Saturday.
Mark your calendars for March 29, because this special broadcast promises not only nostalgic memories from the program’s rich history but also exhilarating entertainment never before seen. The show’s extended episode will air from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, ensuring fans have plenty of time to enjoy all the surprises and honors this special will bring.
All this excitement leads to the question: How will the team pull off these jaw-dropping segments with the beautiful Hawaiian setting as the backdrop? Be prepared for answers and delightful surprises on the air!
