In search of popular Japanese Game Shows!

[VinceTV]

Dear people,

A Dutch television production company is developing a new exciting television programme that features different game shows from all around the world, for instance Japan.

So we are now in search of popular game shows out of your country.
The Japanese game shows:

- Are still being aired with new episodes (no reruns)
- Are single closed episodes. (there are new candidates each episode)
- Are being aired on one of the major channels
- Are no international big game show hits (so not 'Deal or no Deal' or 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'
- Are shows in which 2 or more candidates compete against each other (can also be in teams)
- Are not shows that ask too much of an intellectual knowledge of the candidates

I hope you guys can help me out and can name some game show titles, on which channel it is aired and perhaps a link of the website or YouTube video.
It would be of great help and deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Vincent

There are some game shows from Arashi and Smap, but I can't come up with the name at the moment.

Maybe someone else know some more.

I believe you are thinking of VS Arashi, a game show where teams of celebrities face off against the Arashi members in various mini-games. It's on TV quite a bit here in Sendai.
