I felt really relieved. It is a time slot that our group holds dear and I am just filled with a sense of security and happiness to be able to work again with the staff team whom I trust and love dearly!

What kind of program would you like to create?
I want to captivate a wide range of people. I’ll do my best to create a program that makes people want to come to my hometown as well!

Is there a place you’d like to visit?
Yakushima!

Please share your thoughts after completing the first location shoot.
It was just so much fun! I kept asking myself, “Is it okay like this…!?“. There might have been some flaws, but I am going to enjoy learning from them and do my best from now on!

To all the viewers, please share some highlights and messages!
We, Ae! group, want to become even closer to all of you, the viewers. We want the entire group to be like an older brother, son, or friend to everyone, creating a sense of closeness!

Please share your honest feelings when you heard about the start of the new program.
I was genuinely happy! I’m looking forward to being able to create a program with THE GREATEST SHOW-NEN staff again.

What kind of program would you like to create?
Since it’s our first travel shoot as Ae! group, I think the “raw” side of us will come out. I’d like it to be a program which is laid-back, where we can create a friendly and homey atmosphere with the staff and interact with many people.

Is there a place you’d like to visit?
I’d like to go to the places we’re going for our arena tour on the program too. I want more people to get to know Ae! group.

Please share your thoughts after completing the first location shoot.
I didn’t expect it to be this relaxed (laughs). But I think Ae! group was able to shoot in a better atmosphere thanks to the THE GREATEST SHOW-NEN staff who have taken care of us. It was two days of pure fun, experiencing all sorts of new things and meeting various people!

To all the viewers, please share some highlights and messages!
I still don’t know what the final result will be like, but since Ae! group has rarely done a shoot only by ourselves, I think you’ll be able to see us closer to our true selves. I hope to convey the charm of the places we visited and the goodness of the people there to everyone, and I would be happy if you could get to know a new side of us as well.

Please share your honest feelings when you heard about the start of the new program.
I was extremely happy to hear that we’ll have a new program on ABC TV! I hadn’t heard the details yet then, so I was excited to know what we’ll be doing.

What kind of program would you like to create?
I want to deliver a lot of aspects of Ae! group that can only be seen on this program. I hope to make a program where people can say, “Ae! group‘s popularity has risen from here” through interactions with people from various regions.

Is there a place you’d like to visit?
I’d like to go to Ehime Prefecture and eat “Taimeshi” in Uwajima with everyone. I want to experience firsthand the many fans we have in Shikoku.

Please share your thoughts after completing the first location shoot.
We had the chance to interact with many warm-hearted people, which made me feel warm inside. But at the same time, I was thinking β€œIs it really okay to proceed so loosely?” and it was refreshing to feel like we, including the staff, were exploring and trying things out. It was a lot of fun! I’m already looking forward to seeing how it turns out on air.

To all the viewers, please share some highlights and messages!
I think that you’ll get to see a new side of Ae! group that you haven’t seen before! We might even come to your hometown! When that happens, we’d love for you to welcome us warmly! (laughs) We hope to create an enjoyable program together with everyone, so please make sure to tune in to the broadcasts and catch-up streams repeatedly!

Ken Kojima

Please share your honest feelings when you heard about the start of the new program.
I was most happy to hear that we could work with the same staff in the slot we used to have. Having traveling as the theme of the show is something Ae! group has never experienced before, so I’m looking forward to just enjoying it.

What kind of program would you like to create?
A program that is uniquely Ae! group in a way only Ae! group can make.

Is there a place you’d like to visit?
I’d like to engage in sports activities with the locals.

Please share your thoughts after completing the first location shoot.
We used our bodies all day long. It was fun and balanced with a relaxed yet challenging atmosphere.

To all the viewers, please share some highlights and messages!
It’s a program you can watch without thinking too much! Watch it at home, on the go, or even on the train. I hope everyone can enjoy their Saturday nights more. You’ve got to watch it! β™‘ (Voice by: Masaya Sano)

Masaya Sano

Please share your honest feelings when you heard about the start of the new program.
I was thrilled when I heard that it’s going to be a program with “Ae! group traveling alone” because it was the ideal program I had been hoping to do one day.

What kind of program would you like to create?
I want to create a program with a strong “Ae! flavor” where we can plan the places we want to go and what we want to do on our own.

Is there a place you’d like to visit?
I’d like Richard-kun to guide me around Kyoto. I want him to take me to places only locals know, not tourist spots.

Please share your thoughts after completing the first location shoot.
I feel a bit anxious thinking about it airing on TV (laughs). At first, I was a bit worried if it was okay for the program to be so relaxed.

To all the viewers, please share some highlights and messages!
It’s a program where you can see Ae! group like you’ve never seen before! We’ll do our best to cover the entire country with stickers of this program!
