Since 2001, Arashi has hosted their own variety shows, starting with Mayonaka no Arashi on NTV [REF].
Besides their NTV television specials that would air almost twice a year around 7:00 p.m. (JST), Arashi did not have any variety shows that aired during primetime until TBS gave the group their first primetime show titled Himitsu no Arashi-chan in 2008 [REF].
