Akiba Research Institute also cooperates in the planning! TCG variety show "B.B. Rarity" will start on 10/2! The first guest is Rinku Eishiro (Fudan Juku)!

MUSIC B.B.," a music information program with a 25-year history, has been renewed! A new section that brings out the full appeal of TCGs (Trekkies) has been added, and will make a new start as "B.B. Rarity" on October 2 (Mon.).

The first 15 minutes of the 30-minute program will focus on TCGs. A new corner will be established to bring out the full appeal of trading card games (abbreviated name: TCG, or Trekkie).

This corner aims to convey the charm and fun of the game not only to Trekkie enthusiasts, but also to viewers who have never come into contact with Trekkies before. Each program will be presented from the competition space in the Trekkie store, and will offer viewers new ways to enjoy Trekkies with a rich variety of performances.

Hibino Meina, a member of the idol group "Rough x Rough," makes regular appearances as the corner MC.

In addition, the Trekka expert commentator is Yoshida Kai, a writer with a wealth of experience on the Web and in books and other publications!
He is also a regular contributor to Akiba Research Institute's "TCG Hajimete Koza! He is also active as a writer for Akiba Research Institute, so we hope that Akiba Research Institute users will pay attention to him as well.

In addition, a variety of guests will be invited to each episode to share the appeal of Trekkies while having fun together.

In addition, the VSinger group "ShamRock" will add color to the program as the mascot.

The memorable first episode will feature Bandai's new TCG "Union Arena" from the TCG specialty store "Trekka no Doukutsu" in Akihabara! The guest will be Rinku Eishiro, a member of the music unit "Fudan Juku," who will introduce the basic rules, how to play the game, and how to actually play the game.
