V6 and Hey!Say!JUMP as Main Personalities for “24 Hour TV”

Double treat for everyone and I can’t wait on who will do the drama. Let it not be the “usual”.

V6 and Hey!Say!JUMP has been announced as this year’s host for NTV‘s “24 Hour TV~38~Love Saves the Earth~“. The announcement was made during “DASH Itte Q!” special.

V6 has hosted the popular charity show back in 2000 and Morita Go even served as the charity marathon runner while this is the first time for Hey!Say!JUMP. This is also the first time that two sets of group will host the show to appeal to two generations. V6 will serve the adult generation while Hey!Say!JUMP are for the younger generation.

This year’s theme will be “to connect~a smile beyond time~” and V6’s Sakamoto Masayuki commented that a smiling face is important to connect and he jokes that Okada Junichi might be able to connect the entire Japan with a smile.

Hey!Say!JUMP’s Yamada Ryosuke commented that he always wanted to stand on the same stage as V6 while Yaotome Hikaru said that he’s as nervous as the time the group debuted.

“24 Hour TV~38~Love Saves the Earth~” will air this August.
