New TV Program “Ultraman New Generation Stars”

“Ultraman New Generation Stars” is a program that will introduce carefully selected episodes from the “New Generation Ultraman” series, which began with Ultraman Zero, which celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, and continues with the latest work, “Ultraman Arc.”

Starting on Saturday, January 25, 2025, the series will be revamped to feature Ultraman Z, who regards Ultraman Zero as his mentor, and will feature a new weekly program with the theme of “connecting our thoughts to the future,” tracking the journey of Ultra Heroes.

The theme song, “Zero’s Awakening,” was written and composed by Toshihiko Takamizawa, who has worked on many famous songs for the “Ultraman Series,” and will be sung by Ultraman Zero (CV: Mamoru Miyano) with Voyager.

Please look forward to “Ultraman New Generation Stars,” which will begin airing on Saturday, January 25, 2025.

[Key Items] “New Generation Ultraman Cape” & “New Generation Ultraman Brooch”

Ultraman Z is now wearing the “New Generation Ultraman Cape,” a symbol of his bravery.
It is said that to use this blue cape properly, one must understand the meaning of strength.
The “New Generation Ultraman Brooch” that shines brilliantly on his chest changes as Z grows!
What kind of drama will Z weave with these two items?!

Introduction
After surviving many fierce battles, Ultraman Z receives a message from his master, Ultraman Zero, and lands alone on an unknown planet. On a planet where no one can be seen, he suddenly receives a “record of the Ultra Heroes’ battles.” He is confused for a moment, but when he reaches out to the dazzling light that falls in front of him, he transforms into a new form wearing the “New Generation Ultraman Cape”!
Set on an unknown planet, the story of Ultraman Z’s further growth begins as he follows the “feelings” that the “New Generation Ultramen” have shared and opens up the “future”!
