is a Japanese late night variety show starring Japanese idol group Keyakizaka46. It was hosted by Yū Sawabe and Teruyuki Tsuchida and aired every Sunday at 12:35 AM JST on TV Tokyo.[1] After the group was rebranded into Sakurazaka46 in 2020, the show was cancelled and immediately renewed as .[2] [3]
Keyakitte, Kakenai? was first aired on October 5, 2015, roughly two months after the formation of Keyakizaka46. The show was styled similar to Nogizaka46's weekly show, Nogizaka Under Construction.[4]
Although primarily used for variety shows, Keyakitte, Kakenai? has also been used as a platform for various announcements, including introducing Neru Nagahama to the group, and announcing participating members of the upcoming single in a process called .[5] [6] The show has also had a variety of guest appearances, including Sunshine Ikezaki,[7] Kazuya Kojima,[8] Ayano Fukuda,[9] and Ami Kikuchi.[10] Keyakizaka46's subgroup, Hiragana Keyakizaka46, also occasionally appeared on the show until they received their own show, Hiragana Oshi.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, starting from the 17 May 2020 episode, the program transitioned from recording in a studio to recording remotely via Zoom.[11]
