Exclusive Premiere of 'PRODUCE 101 JAPAN New World' on Lemino

Today at 21:00 JST, the highly anticipated episode #6 of PRODUCE 101 JAPAN New World will debut for free on Lemino, a video streaming service managed by NTT Docomo. This newest chapter marks a significant milestone as the fourth installment of the PRODUCE 101 JAPAN series, known for its massive popularity in the Japanese entertainment scene.

This episode follows the top 50 trainees who have advanced through the first ranking ceremony. The episode will unveil a new position evaluation process, igniting hopes and strategies among the participants. The tension escalates when representative producer, Dean Fujioka, introduces an unconventional selection method that leaves trainees visibly puzzled. The competitive atmosphere resembles that of a 'love game,' where trainees divide into those who choose and those who are chosen, leading to intense interpersonal drama.

Moreover, viewers will be thrilled to see a surprise appearance by INI, the alumni group of former trainees, joining as “101 Special Buddies.” These seasoned performers understand the challenges faced by the current contestants and will lend their support and motivation, providing invaluable mentorship that unfolds throughout the episode.

The excitement doesn't end here! Fans are also invited to participate in the voting process for their favorite trainees, which continues daily until May 8, 2026, at noon. Voting is crucial, as the results will dictate the challenges and performances that trainees will undertake. Each viewer can vote up to 12 trainees a day through the national voting site, and downloading the Lemino app provides an additional voting opportunity.
