Popular football players Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo are guests in FUJI TV’s variety show VS Arashi hosted by the group Arashi. The episode with Neymar will be airing on August 13 while Ronaldo’s episode will be airing on October. Of course, one of the main attractions will be how well the two football players would fare in the “Kicking Sniper”segment of the games.

Check out the previews of the show below.

To welcome the program’s 30th anniversary in October, TV Asahi’s Music Station will be airing a special program MUSIC STATION Ultra Fes for 10 hours starting at noon. The live broadcast will air on September 23. Host Tamori commented that it has been a long time since he has hosted a noon show.

Since its start in October 1986, this is the longest special to air for Music Sation.

Stay tuned for the upcoming artist line up announcements!
