“Please Let Snow Man Do It” is broadcast every Friday night on TBS. Tonight’s (the 9th) two-hour special from 7 p.m. will present the popular project “Dance Copy Revolution.” In “Dance Copy Revolution,” which asks whether you can perfectly copy choreography that anyone has seen at least once and dance it through without making mistakes, the team led by Miyadate, as the historical MVP-winning team, will be joined by Iroha of ILLIT, former E-girls members Harumi Sato and Anna Ishii, and Yuno, who won second place at a world dance competition on the same team as Raul! And the STARTO dance selection team will be joined by Fumito Kawai, Kento Senga of Kis-My-Ft2, Kaito Miyachika and Kaito Matsukura of Travis Japan, and Hikaru Ukisho of ACEes! With the goal of defeating Snow Man, a three-way perfect-copy dance battle with pride on the line begins. In the latest buzz song “mosi mosi?”, there will be a pop dance showdown of Raul & Watanabe & Mukai vs. Kawai & Miyachika & Matsukura vs. Sato & Ishii & Yuno! Furthermore, with difficult challenge songs such as “Seishun Amigo” by Shuji and Akira, which once took the world by storm, and Namie Amuro’s god-tier song “Body Feels EXIT,” there will be a succession of god-level dances that go beyond perfect copying. And the original dances that can only be seen on “Sore Snow” will come one after another, such as Iroha performing ILLIT’s “It’s Me,” which is currently going viral around the world, and Sato & Ishii performing E-girls’ “Follow Me”! Furthermore, in the “perfect-copy collaboration with the real person,” =LOVE, which drew about 130,000 people at a live concert at the National Stadium this June, will appear with all members! They will aim to perfectly copy the highly difficult dance of “Zettai Idol Yamenai de.” The studio is excited by the overwhelming dance with the largest number of people ever! In the studio talk, there is also a scene where Watanabe turns red from a secret story from senior Senga... What on earth happened!? Furthermore, everyone is astonished by the unknown behind-the-scenes details of the “Kawai-kai,” which Snow Man members had also joined! Which team will prevail in the 18th perfect-copy dance battle, which has become the highest-level battle in history...? Attention is focused on the fierce battle of pride among each team in “Sore Snow Man ni Yarasete Kudasai SP,” which will be broadcast tonight (the 9th) from 7 p.m. for two hours. ■Broadcast information “Sore Snow Man ni Yarasete Kudasai SP” Broadcast date and time: Friday, October 9, 7:00 p.m. to 8:55 p.m. (regular broadcast every Friday, 8:00 p.m. to 8:55 p.m.) <Performers> ○ Snow Man team Hikaru Iwamoto Tatsuya Fukazawa Raul Shota Watanabe Koji Mukai Ryohei Abe Daisuke Sakuma ○ Historical MVP team of perfect-copy battles (in Japanese syllabary order) Anna Ishii IROHA (ILLIT) Harumi Sato Ryota Miyadate (Snow Man) Yuno ○ STARTO dance selection team (in Japanese syllabary order) Hikaru Ukisho (ACEes) Fumito Kawai Kento Senga (Kis-My-Ft2) Kaito Matsukura (Travis Japan) Kaito Miyachika (Travis Japan) ○ Guest in person =LOVE ○ Judge TAKAHIRO <Staff> Produced and copyrighted by TBS Producer: Takuya Matsubara, Takuma Inoue General director: Shinichiro Yoshino ■Related link Official website of “Sore Snow Man ni Yarasete Kudasai”
