Translation: Female only version of SASUKE "KUNOICHI" will be held this summer as well. Do not miss the contestant recruitment as it flows during SASUKE broadcasting. # KUNOICHI
Can we get someone else to verify this? Looks like Kunoichi 10 is going to be in the June to September window. Since it's Inui, if I read this correctly this is more or less official confirmation

I was wondering about that as well, there were a couple of Inui tweets which he posted today with very odd Google Translate results.
Seems like an extraordinarily quick turnaround though, given Kunoichi 9 only aired what, a month ago at most?

KUNOICHI 9 was like a month ago, and we're getting stuff about KUNOICHI 10 already?

What's interesting is I translated the replies and further comments on this and it's people congratulating him on the new season, giving course suggestions, etc which seems to further this point. If the translation is true though we may see a confirmation during Sasuke about it Also yes it was a month ago but it takes planning. Is a September Kunoichi really any stranger than a winter Sasuke? That's 7 months apart

That's 7 months apart It more struck me as odd that it would have been planned so far in advance, given the generally tenuous state of Sasuke in Japan. It was going to be very unlikely that Kunoichi would attract an equal or larger viewership than the most recent Sasuke tournaments, which TBS have been threatening to axe for several years now. Kunoichi being confirmed for a second show before the first even aired is surprising, given how little it was promoted and supported by TBS in the first place. If TBS are trying to set it up as a franchise again, they're flip-flopping very hard on whether they care about it or not. I guess it's possible they commissioned a run of several shows to cover the cost of constructing all the new obstacles, but then the relative lack of promotion still doesn't make much sense, because they'll reduce the chances of getting a good return on their investment.

I'm surprised they are doing 2 Kunoichi's in one year. If they are doing 2 Kunoichi's in one year, seems like we will be getting 2 Sasuke's this year as well.

@bmdj_xx: @inuimasato I am glad to see it again. Were the viewer ratings good?
Inui: They were! To my surprise, the demographic of men and women in their 50s gave overwhelming support. I hope you enjoyed the girl's [competitors] effort
@bmdj_xx: 50's ...!? That's the Takeshi's Castle generation

To me "Overwhelming support from 50s" reads as "way better ratings than expected, therefore way more and revenue than expected" Generally something making more money than expected is a fast track to repeat and cash in, sothis isn't too surprising to be honest

I feel guilty for thinking that it took about 30mins for word to get out that there were pretty girls on tv. Slowing inching across a giant rod. On their stomachs. In sports bras.

There is one thing I wish for this Kunoichi. The Pipe Hold gets removed.
