is a series of women-only bowling tournaments, developed solely for television. Entry into these tournaments is limited to selected members of the Japan Professional Bowling Association (JPBA), and amateurs who have qualified via open auditions. The show airs throughout Japan every Friday from 10:30pm to 11:00pm (30 minutes) on BS Nittele (BS日テレ). The "P" in P★League has five meanings: "Pretty", "Power", "Passion", "Performance" and "Perfect". == History == During the 1970s, bowling was very popular among the Japanese.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Bowling Babes )〕 Japan had as many as 3,697 bowling establishments during the 1970s, with more than 120,000 bowling lanes installed.〔(What happened to the biggest bowling centers in the world? )〕 By the late 1990s, the number had shrunk to only 600. In 2008, there were 1,100 bowling establishments and 25.1 million people bowled in Japan: about one in five Japanese.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sexy Schoolgirl, Rina Asada Strikes Out for Bowling )〕 In the 1970s, the JPBA produced a series of televised bowling tournaments, such as ''Ladies Challenge Bowl'' (レディズ・チャレンジボウル 1969-1975) and ''The Star Bowling'' (ザ・スターボウリング 1978-1998), in the attempt to further push the sport's appeal, as well as showcase the women who competed in the JPBA. Big names such as Ritsuko Nakayama and Kayoko Suda competed in these tournaments. The formula worked - as the show's concept is used in many other Japanese bowling promotions on television, leading up to the present day. Nakayama, along with the JPBA, created P-League in 2006 in an attempt to revive bowling's popularity on television once enjoyed in the 1970s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bowling Revolution P-League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
