Ryuji Harada announces new calendar at TOKYO MX event

Actor Ryuji Harada attended a watch party and discussion event for his TOKYO MX variety program, ‘Yuittar Onsen Variety: Ryuji Harada no Nihon Zenkoku! Yuichimuni’, held at the TOKYO MX offices in Kojimachi. The location holds personal significance for Harada, as it was the site where he held a press conference seven years ago following reports of an extramarital affair.

During the event, Harada announced the release of a new official daily calendar titled ‘Zenra Haiyu Ryuji Harada no Mainichi Que Sera Sera Bara’, scheduled for release on December 9, 2026. The calendar features Harada in natural, unadorned settings at various hot springs and includes handwritten messages. Harada noted that he chose not to undergo physical transformations for the project, opting instead to embrace his natural appearance as part of his life theme.

A promotional pledge has been made: if the calendar sells 10,000 copies, the program will launch a special project where Harada travels to discover unexplored hot springs.
