DDT kicks off its new weekly series on AbemaTV with the first round of a tournament to find a new star. The winner of the tournament will be “fully backed up” by AbemaTV for future projects. Each match will have a 5 minute time limit and in the case of a draw the winner will be determined by a viewer vote on the AbemaTV webpage. This is a big project for DDT because the show will be airing at “Golden Time”, the biggest broadcasting time slot of the day. The logo represents that with the golden colour scheme along with the manji logo made to resemble two people wrestling each other, according to Sanshiro Takagi.
Most of the contestants were brought together for a press conference and it almost ended in a fight when Ken Ohka and Maki Itoh argued with each other. Ito later tried to start a fight with Kota Umeda when she caught Umeda laughing at her.
Danshoku Dino also has something planned for the show. He is organising a segment called “Danshoku Souls” with the goal of finding a successor. It does not matter the age, gender or occupation of the person, Dino wants to find the perfect person to transfer his Danshoku Soul to when it is time for him to go away.
