Nippon TV And The Walt Disney Company (Japan) To Launch Travel Reality Show

Continuing on the successful collaboration between Nippon TV Holdings Inc. and The Walt Disney Company (Japan) Ltd., Nippon TV has announced that its new travel reality show 'Traveling with Snow Man', featuring the popular nine-member boy band Snow Man, will premiere on July 27 on Nippon TV with the uncut version streaming globally on Disney+ immediately afterward. Produced by Nippon TV, the upcoming series will be the first-ever unscripted travel show from Japan to be released on Disney+.

The first episode of 'Traveling with Snow Man' will air on Sunday, July 27, at 4:25 PM on Nippon TV, before an uncut version with additional scenes becomes available exclusively on Disney+.

'Traveling with Snow Man' will follow the popular J-Pop group as they journey north from Okinawa to Hokkaido. The series will showcase the members’ adventures as they meet locals, savour regional cuisine, and explore the sights together. Joining them on this adventure is 'Tabi', an AI-style robot who acts as the group’s 10th member - capturing their candid moments throughout the show.

The group's travels are centred around the theme of 'One for Snow Man, Snow Man for One', with the members each focusing on how the individual can further contribute to the betterment of the wider group. The series is full of laughter, tears, strong bonds and heartfelt determination.

A key visual released in celebration of today's announcement shows the members of Snow Man enjoying the Okinawan seaside. Episode one of the season opens in Okinawa, highlighting the members’ time there as they go shopping, drive around, relax, and enjoy a lively barbecue together. A special surprise gift also awaits.
