Comedian Kinichi Hagimoto's new show, "Hagimoto-san on the 9th Floor!" (BS Nippon TV/BS Nippon TV 4K), will begin on October 7th. The four-minute show will air every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 5:26 AM, and BS Nippon TV explains that "there will be no sponsors, no appearance fees," and "the content of the show will constantly change based on Kin-chan's ideas and ad-libs." At 84 years old this year, the still-enthusiastic Hagimoto said, "I want to create television that is praised!"
The show will be filmed on a set built on the 9th floor of Hagimoto's office. Currently, the guest will be Nippon Television announcer Rin Sugihara, and the show's menu has been introduced as including "The news delivered by the duo of Rin-chan, the talkative announcer, and Kin-chan, the commentator who isn't allowed to speak," "Kin-chan imparts the secrets of success to university students aspiring to become architects or business managers," and "Developing an unprecedented new product together with a fun-loving company."
Hagimoto commented, "It's too selfish to ask for sponsorship before the show has even been made. First, make the show yourself, and then have people watch it and if they feel like they want to support it, then they can become a sponsor. It's a TV show that grows as it's made. I hope it will be a TV show that is praised by all the viewers who made Kin-chan famous."
The program will be rebroadcast on the same day from 10:56 pm to 11:00 pm.
