Season 2

Produce 101 Japan (プロデュース ワンオーワン ジャパン) is a 2019 Japanese reality competition show, co-produced by Yoshimoto Kogyo and CJ E&M. It is a spin-off of the South Korean Produce 101 franchise. The show follows 101 contestants with the intention of producing a permanent eleven-member boy group.

It premiered on September 25, 2019, on TBS. The first episode was rerun on the streaming platform GyaO! the following day, which also broadcast the remainder of the show every Thursday at 21:00 JST (GMT+9). [1] The finale was aired on December 11, 2019, on TBS at 19:00 JST (GMT+9). [2]

The final top eleven contestants debuted as the permanent boy group JO1.

Concept and production

On April 11, 2019, it was announced that Lapone Entertainment, a management company co-founded by Yoshimoto Kogyo, CJ E&M, and MCIP Holdings, would produce a Japanese version of the South Korean idol survival show Produce 101 with the intention of debuting an internationally active, eleven-member boy group in 2020. [3] [4] [5] [6] The final group's members, name, and concept would be selected by the viewers, referred to as "National Producers" (Japanese: 国民プロデューサー, Hepburn: Kokumin Purodyūsā). [7] The show had a budget of several billion yen and was one of the largest Japanese television productions. [8]

Applications for the show were accepted from April 11 to May 31, 2019. All male Japanese residents aged 16 to 30 years old who were not tied to any talent agency at the time of application and had completed compulsory education were eligible to apply, regardless of previous experience or nationality. [9] Successful applicants were called back for a first round of auditions, which were held on June 15 across seven cities in Japan: Sapporo, Sendai, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, and Okinawa. During the second screening, which took place from July 13 to July 15, the final 101 contestants were selected. [10] In total, 6,000 people auditioned for the show. [11]

In August, the chosen constestants were sent to a training camp in Paju, South Korea. [12] Several episodes were shot there as well before the production returned to Japan. [13]

In light of the Mnet vote manipulation investigation, the production committee stated in November 2019 that they were not affiliated with the Korean production team and had a separate voting system, with votes analyzed by a group of third-party lawyers. [14] Following the departure of South Korean contestants Kim Hee-cheon, Kim Youn-dong, and Jeong Young-hoon, the production committee issued a statement explaining that the contestants were eligible for the show, as they were living in Japan at the time, and that their mandatory military service was not a reason why they left. In addition, they issued an official warning to viewers not to spread malicious rumors about the contestants on social media. [15]

Promotion and broadcast

On September 1, 2019, all 101 trainees were revealed at a press conference held at Osaki Bright Core Hall in Tokyo. [16] Two days later, the music video for the show's theme song "Tsukame (It's Coming)" (Japanese: ツカメ～It's Coming～, lit. 'Seize It～It's Coming～') was released, with Ren Kawashiri serving as the center. [17] The same day, profiles for all contestants were published on the official website. [18]

The series premiered on September 25, 2019, on TBS, and a day later on GyaO!, where all twelve episodes were subsequently aired for free. [1] The final episode was once again broadcast by TBS on December 11, 2019. [2] Prior to the show's airing, two contestants had dropped out, leaving 99 trainees to compete on the show. Contestant Kenya Hata later dropped out of the series before the show was broadcast.

Cast

The show was presented by Hideyuki Yabe and Takashi Okumura of the comedy duo Ninety-nine, who had previously hosted the Asayan talent competition series in 1999. [19]
