The NHK program "Emergency! Town Resident Audition, Hokkaido Honbetsu Town," starring Ryuji Akiyama of the comedy trio "Robert," will be broadcast on NHK General TV from 11:00 pm on June 16th. This will be the final episode of the program series in which Akiyama puts all his effort into producing a small town in a rural area that is struggling with the problem that "there are many things to see and are attractive, but it is not well known and no one comes to visit."
The setting is Honbetsu Town in Hokkaido, which touts itself as the "best bean town in Japan." The beans produced in Honbetsu Town are rich in variety and taste great. The townspeople are proud of their beans, but what exactly makes them number one in Japan? The reason for this is unclear, so Akiyama delves into the charms of Honbetsu Town.
A huge gathering of uncontrollable, lively townspeople, including singers, dancers, shamisen players, idols, samurai, and demons. A hilarious audition begins in the northern lands.
