Nippon Television Network Corporation (NTV) is proud to announce the launch of official channels on Google's video sharing website YouTube that features one of its most popular TV shows, "MASQUERADE".
Since the birth of "MASQUERADE" in 1979, there have been many brilliant performances over the show's 33-year history. NTV carefully selected 100 masterpieces for the YouTube channels, of which 30 will be launched on November 12, 2012 and the remaining to be rolled-out throughout the rest of the year.

NTV is launching an international channel that aims to directly deliver the program's appeal to a worldwide audience through the use of English and Chinese subtitles. The program's success in having established itself as a brand under the English title "MASQUERADE" and the Taiwanese title "超級變變變" serves as a boost to this endeavor. In addition, we aim to further enhance the global success of "MASQUERADE" by enabling contestants from around the world to submit their audition pieces through the YouTube channel. On the same date, NTV will also launch a separate official Japanese channel.
"MASQUERADE" showcases captivating performances that are self-explanatory. Over the years, it has gained popularity in the international program content and format markets.
