This new exhibition, themed Renaissance, showcases more than 50 carefully selected works from the Louvre’s collection to highlight the essential characteristics of Renaissance art, which blossomed in Italy in the early 15th century and flourished across Europe through the 16th century. Its centerpiece is the first-ever presentation in Japan of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece of female portraiture, commonly known as La Belle Ferronnière. Only about 15 oil paintings are attributed to Leonardo, five of which are in the Louvre’s collection, and one of the finest among them—Portrait of a Woman, commonly known as La Belle Ferronnière—will be unveiled in Japan for the very first time. Because such a precious work is traveling to Japan, the exhibition will be held exclusively at a single venue in Tokyo and will not tour.

April 2026: Entering Uncharted “Stadium Phase” Territory: As the culmination of this entertainment business strategy, a massive stadium-scale event will be staged in April. Moving beyond arena-class productions, this marks a decisive leap toward becoming a true “stadium platformer”—establishing audiences of tens of thousands as the new standard and redefining the scale of live entertainment. We are confident that no other broadcaster in Japan can independently lead live entertainment projects with this level of scale and density.

With the rise of smartphones and growing demand for vertical (9:16) viewing experiences in sports broadcasts, NBC Sports—one of the three major television networks in the U.S.—has decided to adopt AiDi, an advanced technology that automatically extracts athletes from traditional broadcast footage and optimizes the content for mobile viewing. The system is scheduled to be used in multiple live event broadcasts starting in 2026. Strengthening Relationships with an Overseas Company Through the Japanese Production of a Globally Popular Quiz Format Nippon TV will produce the Japanese version of The Floor, a globally successful quiz format developed by Talpa Studios in the Netherlands and adapted into more than 15 local versions across Europe and the U.S. This project will serve as an important foothold for future mutual development and international collaboration.
