JBpress has launched a new show, JBpress THE INSIGHT, on its official YouTube channel. The first episode was released on 25 September 2026, and the show is scheduled to air twice a month. The show features the editor-in-chief on a rotating basis and aims to examine changes in the news using notable articles as a starting point.
The format has JBpress Editor-in-Chief Hosoda Takahiro (細田孝宏) and Official Channel Editor-in-Chief Takemasa Hideaki (武政秀明) appear alternately, with the aim of helping viewers develop an eye for detecting change. The show is positioned as a project embodying the official channel’s tagline, “An eye for detecting change,” following its renewal from its former name, INNOCHAN.
The guest on the first episode was Kojima Ruriko (小島瑠璃子), with the discussion focusing on what kind of media outlet JBpress is. Future discussions are scheduled to cover topics including Shohei Ohtani’s “age-32 barrier” and the future of opposition parties unsettled by the shelving of a planned merger. Kojima also appeared in the filming, which introduced her activities in a range of areas, including her Japanese tea brand business.
The first episode has also been covered by Sports Hochi, which published the release date, cast and distribution frequency as an overview of the show. The show is titled JBpress THE INSIGHT and is distributed on YouTube’s “JBpress Official Channel.” It is expected to continue airing twice a month.
