During the three-episode run, Zenryokuzaka will even temporarily change its name to Hill’s Name, as a tip of the hat to its Your Name tie-up.
You can find some pretty unusual stuff on late-night Japanese television, but even by local standards, TV Asahi’s Zenryokuzaka, or “Full-Power Hill,” is pretty unique.
One of Japan’s oddest TV shows celebrates its 15th anniversary with a trip to Itomori, setting of Makoto Shinkai’s anime film phenomenon.
The first two episodes will air at 12:50 a.m., while the third will start at 1:05 a.m. TV Asahi will also be showing Your Name itself on June 30, as part of the run-up to the release of Shinkai’s new film, Weathering with You, which comes out on July 19.
