The 4th Season of Produce 101 Japan Kicks Off with Intense Ranking Reveal

Get Ready for the Intense Showdown in Produce 101 Japan

As the popular survival audition show continues to take the Japanese entertainment scene by storm, this Thursday, May 28, at 21:00, the next episode of PRODUCE 101 JAPAN新世界 (New World) will be exclusively streamed on Lemino. Known for its enormous scale, this show aims to discover the next major idol group in Japan.

In the previous episode, the trainees underwent a concept evaluation that resulted in the reorganization of teams. The results were impressive; the album titled 35 BOYS 5 CONCEPTS reached number one in both the Apple Music Top 200 Albums and J-Pop Albums charts shortly after its release. Five songs from the evaluation have also made it into LINE MUSIC's Real-time Top 25, creating a buzz across various social media platforms.

The Stakes are Higher Than Ever

Tonight's episode will feature the third ranking reveal, which poses a daunting challenge for the trainees. Only 20 out of the 35 trainees can advance to the final round, raising the tension and excitement among fans and viewers alike. In addition to the top 20, there are questions of whether any trainees will be able to survive through the Global Ranker selections, making this episode a must-see for all fans.

Special Summer Event: Pool Competition

Aside from the intense ranking reveal, viewers can look forward to a special event titled POOL THE SHINSEKAI. Preview footage showcases cheerful water battles among trainees equipped with squirt guns and inflatable floaties, revealing a more relaxed side of these aspiring stars, contrasting with their fierce competition on stage. Special performances of the show's theme song, 新世界 (SHINSEKAI), will take place in the pool setting, with a full version being released later today on their official YouTube channel.
