The "Prebat!! Sainouari Exhibition" — a showcase of artworks born from Japan's popular arts variety show Prebat!! — is coming to Yokohama Takashimaya in late July 2026, followed by a run at Osaka Takashimaya in August. The exhibition presents more than 450 works and instructor demonstrations created over 13 years of the program, spanning genres from colored pencils and watercolors to chalkboard art and large-scale fishing flags (tairyo-bata).
Celebrities on the show often invest over 100 hours in pieces that appear for just five minutes on air, and the exhibition brings that dedication and creativity up close for audiences. The tour has previously been held across Japan and has welcomed over 300,000 visitors in total across its first eight venues.

About Prebat!!
Prebat!! began airing in 2012 on MBS/TBS as an educational variety program. Each episode features celebrities attempting various art forms — from painting and haiku to more unusual genres — with their work judged by expert instructors who rate whether participants show "talent" or "no talent." MC Hamada Masafumi's energetic hosting style and haiku poet Natsui Itsuki's sharp critiques have become iconic elements of the show. The program has reached a peak rating of 17.0% (Kanto area) and 19.7% (Kansai area).
Special Talk Shows and Events
Special talk shows featuring program cast members are scheduled at both venues, covering behind-the-scenes stories and the secrets behind standout works. Instructor-led special events are also planned.
Participation in talk shows and special events requires the purchase of an event-included admission ticket via Asoview! (on sale from June 24 at 10:00 AM, while supplies last).
