This November, the five-member boy band Arashi celebrates their 10th anniversary. In connection with that, NTV has announced an "Arashi Challenge Week" for this fall, which will have the group's members appear on the network's major shows for a full seven days, culminating in a live broadcast special.

At least one Arashi member is scheduled to appear on each of the programs, which range from "Zoom In!! SUPER" in the morning to "NEWS ZERO" at night. The other shows include "Jinsei ga Kawaru Ippunkan no Fukaii Hanashi," "Majotachi no 22 Ji," "Guruguru Ninety-Nine," "Kinyo Roadshow," "Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen," and "Gyouretsu no Dekiru Houritsu Soudanjo." The total running time of all of the shows is expected to be more than 50 hours.

On the last day, all five members will appear on a live special. The special is planned to include a new segment of the "Can we get to Tokyo Bay by boat?" series, which experiments with boats made from different materials, such as toy building blocks, but has always ended with the boats sinking. The special will also feature musical performances by the group and some past video footage.
