Details are being organized and the page itself is not live yet, however Inui posted something today. I asked privately for details and this is what is the basic gist. He is launching next week an unofficial Nico Nico channel that will run. It is basically a Sasuke chat show. It will have monthly information with guests and he will answer chat questions to the best of his ability. I already asked in advance if the English speaking community can get involved and he is totally okay. I'm going to try to field questions from this thread over to him. I'd have to get them translated ahead of time so from now on, if you have a specific question that he can answer, post them here and I'll do what I can to get them translated and sent over to him before the broadcast each month. I'm not sure how smooth that will go, however that's what I'm hoping to do. We've been discussing ways to get Sasuke back into the lexicon and something like this can be a way to build the community. Please remember that he is not TBS, however he is the creative owner of Sasuke. He's doing what he can on his part to keep Sasuke alive somehow. This is one way to drum up support with a fanbase to get questions, concerns, praise, criticism to help grow Sasuke and get it out of the funk it is now. I'm sure the whole thing will be in Japanese, but we'll work together to get our voices heard. I'll be doing a blog later today to get the ball rolling and it will be a monthly blog with translations from the Nico Nico broadcast as best as I can get it. It's a work in progress and sure to have bumps along the road. Details including link is still being developed but the first show is set to premiere this Thursday, October 8 if I read that post correctly. Guests already lined up include: Masato Inui - Host (Sasuke 1-14, 28-present Director) Shingo Yamamoto Yuuji Urushihara Matachi Ryo Masashi Hioki and.. someone I don't know. LOL Edit!

Is it possible to ask questions not just to Inui but to the guests too? I'd love to ask Shingo if he likes what SASUKE has become.

Can you please ask Inui (if NBC allowed it) if Isaac Caldiero could run in the next Sasuke?

Yay boards are back! (Thanks Admins for cleaning up a couple sections). Yes to both! Emily you might want to also try asking the question live but depending on how many questions we receive I can add that to the list. I'm going to try to get those questions ready by no later than Tuesday so Inui has it ready for (this time) Thursday. I'll add this question in there as well. Thanks Matty I'll add that to the list. A few people immediately thought of this question (which also included Geoff) and even went further into the the whole foreigner questions from here on out. I'll add that to the list as well. Thanks guys! Edit: Inui posted the Link to his page! Time is set for Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 21:00 JST. 8 AM EDT 5 AM PDT Time conversion here! I'm working on blog announcement now. Blog up! |

Great news. We've finally got to see some Urushihara!
The broadcast description says: "What'll happen to SASUKE2016!? Full discussions of whether there'll be a big renewal, or is it even possible? - Unofficial channel by the Sasuke owner, competitors and those involved - planned to do stream every month (just a plan) - someday there may be a live for Sasuke training session"

Thanks Arsenette.  I would ask Shingo myself (through Facebook obviously since he's friends with me) but the language barrier is still a huge issue. I also kinda wonder to Yuuji... Now that there's a new champion does that lower the pressure on you for success a bit? What do you think? Same question to Ryo as well. One more for Shingo (I think...). Do you think we'll see you training with the new stars a little more? I think they can help you succeed in this new SASUKE. Or maybe flip the switch and everyone trains at Bariante! Your thoughts? (Oh god what have I done?! XD) |

My main question is if he'll ever go back to a course trial for Sasuke or perhaps have the course trial alongside the usual audition and push up contest.

I'll go back and fix that on my blog. BTW for everyone. This isn't an interview so he may not touch some of the questions. Watch what the topics are that they are going to tackle (like for example what candh posted) to give you an idea of types of questions they may answer. More personal ones may not be asked since it's only a 2 hour show and I'm sure Inui already has something set for the majority of it. |

Oh btw, the final person in the list (城主 = Joshu, which means a castellan/the lord of castle) is referring to Inui himself. As you can see, it's a joke between Sasuke and MXC/Takeshi's Castle  |

Inui briefly touched M9's bankruptcy/ill-fated Hokkaido Sasuke Park and the stream frozen right away. LOL Edit: Inui just announced in the stream that SASUKE 2016 got greenlighted by TBS officials. Edit^2: There was a (seemingly very serious) plan for live broadcasting 3rd/final stage for the new year day, but ditched due to budget shortage. Edit^3: Inui says there is "99% chance" that SASUKE Worldcup will be organized by TBS, though there is no target date/schedule. He thinks that it will be in style of ASEAN Open Cup, albeit much larger. This is a different event from regular SASUKE. Might take place in somewhere other than the Midoriyama studio because Midoriyama is "the mecca of SASUKE" and only the winners of the worldcup should be allowed to compete there. Other than that there is no fixed idea yet. Edit^4: Inui's answer to questions from English speakers Isaac and Geoff in the next Sasuke? -> "I'll ask but dunno NBC..." More contests for obstacle idea? ->  I missed his answer (sorry) Edit^5: Cleaned up real-time messiness |

Just saw this thread now.  (sighs) This may be a bonehead question, but are these shows going to be at the same day/time every week? I might be interested in watching and/or asking a few questions. In particular, do you know if there will be another obstacle contest reminiscent to the one held for SASUKE 31? It was a very different, yet very welcome, way by which the production team considered the input/creativity of the domestic and international fanbases. |

Read the first post Mr. Moderator..  Btw given that my usual help for translating are away for the holiday weekend in Japan.. is anyone up for helping with a synopsis of the questions? I did manage to record it (with the chat). I'll be happy to email it to someone if they can help me with the translation. |

Thanks candh for the preliminary translations. I can't blog on it until later next week as I have to wait to have it translated. There's a lot of information in there (which I'm very happy he went into) and I'd like to break them all down on a blog.

Really busy right now and I apologize if I didn't read something, but was 32 confirmed in this livestream or something? Just recently saw the shift from 31 to 32 thread.
