is a Japanese reality TV show which aired from January 11, 1998 to September 29, 2002 on the Nihon TV network, and online from October 2009. ==Description== The title is a pun. The predecessor of the show was called ''Susume Denpa Shōnen'' (lit. ''Forward! Signal Youth''). To depict that the show indeed moved forward, one of the characters of the title was made longer by changing the to , approximately meaning ''Do not advance! Signal Youth''. The show is known for the extreme situations the participants were placed in. It gained high ratings, and spawned a sister show, , and was controversial due to the sadistic challenges and rule changes made by the television producers if they felt the participants were doing too well. The show also received criticism for some of the show segments being staged 〔(Those same old jokes aren't funny anymore. )〕 The participants were usually unknown comedians who were ready to do anything to get famous. Upon application, they were chosen randomly, and were not told what the objective of their challenge was. Some of the challengers became more or less famous, while some remained relatively unknown. The program's initial cancellation was related to a government crackdown on "torture"-themed shows,〔(Chip Rowe Video Review: Japanese TV )〕 but has seen a revival on the World Wide Web from October 2009 on the streaming website ''Number Two Nihon Television'' (第2日本テレビ). Its first new "challenger" for the webcast was comedian Yoshio Kojima.〔(Music Japan + )〕 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「Susunu! Denpa Shōnen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
