ABEMA is set to ring in the New Year with their special program, titled "Tsurube & Ninety-Nine's A Little Dangerous New Year 2025," airing on January 1, 2025, at 11 PM. This fun-filled show continues the tradition of the much-loved New Year’s broadcast, which originally stemmed from the long-running series "Shimura & Tsurube's Dangerous Friendship."
With about 20 years of history backing the show, fans can expect some old favorites along with exciting innovations. The format will feature the beloved game "original English prohibition bowling," where teams must compete without using English. Violations result in financial penalties, but successful bowling attempts earn prizes from lovely female guests—adding both pressure and excitement to the competition!
Joining Tsurube is his new partner, Hotohira Tohru, promising to create legendary moments throughout the evening. The program will also welcome special guest emcee, Yamazato Raito from the comedy duo Nankai Candies, ensuring plenty of comic relief.
Special guests include actor Kazama Shunsuke and dancer-actor Sekiguchi Mendy, who's known for their dynamic presence on stage. Their contributions are expected to stir excitement and maintain the high-energy vibes of the show. What legends will emerge from their interactions? Fans will have to watch to find out!
Adding to the anticipation, New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s president and top player, Tanahashi Hiroshi, will perform the ceremonial first roll. He has announced plans to retire after 2026, making this appearance all the more special. His contribution is sure to set the tone for what promises to be a thrilling episode.
Viewers can catch the highlights broadcast on TV朝日 on January 3, 2025, following the original airing, allowing those who miss the live event another chance to engage with the entertaining antics. The excitement doesn’t stop there; from December 16, 2024, audiences can also catch previous episodes of related shows, helping to build the anticipation for "Tsurube & Ninety-Nine's A Little Dangerous New Year 2025."
ABEMA has confirmed it will also provide exclusive content surrounding the game, including behind-the-scenes footage from the glamorous after-party where beautiful guests revel after the filming. Fans can subscribe to ABEMA Premium for this exclusive material, allowing access to endless content featuring familiar faces and side-splitting laughter.
