Produce 101 Japan The Girls (プロデュース ワンオーワン ジャパン ザ ガールズ; stylized in all caps) is the third season of the reality competition show Produce 101 Japan, the Japanese version of Produce 101. The show brings together 101 contestants with the intention of producing a permanent eleven-member girl group.

The show premiered on October 5, 2023,[1] and is broadcast on Lemino every Thursday at 21:00 JST (GMT+9).[2] Each episode is rerun on YouTube with English subtitles the following Monday at 21:00 JST (GMT+9) and each episode will be available for a week before being switched to private and replaced with the next episode.[3] Additionally, the final episode aired on TBS.[4]

The top 11 winners debuted under the name Me:I in 2024.

Promotion and broadcast

On April 20, 2023, it was announced that Produce 101 Japan would be renewed for a third season, this time featuring all female contestants.[5] The show is being produced by NTT Docomo Studio & Live, Inc., a newly-formed joint venture between NTT Docomo and Yoshimoto Kogyo.[6] The show is being exclusively distributed by NTT Docomo's streaming service Lemino,[2] with exception of the final episode, which will also be broadcast by TBS.[4] The episodes are receiving a limited overseas distribution with English subtitles through Produce 101 Japan's official YouTube channel, where they will stay available until a week after their release.[3]

Applications were open from April 24 to May 24, 2023. Any female aspirants aged 15 and up who had no current ties to a talent agency and completed compulsory education were eligible. There were no restrictions regarding nationality or country of residence.[6] Approximately 14,000 candidates applied, more than twice the amount as for the first season.[7] Two rounds of auditions were held for successful applicants from June 3 to June 25, 2023. Individuals who passed the second round were allowed to participate in the show.[6]

On September 2, 2023, this season's theme song "LEAP HIGH" (Japanese: LEAP HIGH〜明日へ、めいっぱい〜, Hepburn: LEAP HIGH～Asu e、meippai～, lit. 'LEAP HIGH～With all my might to tomorrow～') was released.[8] The following day, the profiles of 96 out of the 101 contestants were revealed.[7] The remaining five trainees had already withdrawn from the program and their identities were not disclosed.[9] On September 26, a press conference was held with the contestants, trainers, National Producer Representative Kaela Kimura, the show's ambassador actress and former singer Nako Yabuki, and MC Moemi Kushiro.[10]

Cast

The show is being presented by singer Kaela Kimura as the National Producer Representative.[11] Actress and former IZ*ONE and HKT48 member Nako Yabuki serves as the show's ambassador.[12] Chanmina appeared as a guest on Episode 7 to mentor the trainees performing her song "Bijin" (美人).

The episode begins with the audition teams entering the venue one by one. The contestants then choose the seat with the rank they expect to place and afterward, it is revealed how the other trainees have ranked their skills. Then, the National Representative, Kaela Kimura and the trainers enter and the first evaluation round, the "Level Placement Test", begins. Each team has prepared a performance that is judged by the trainers. The contestants are evaluated individually and assigned a grade from A to F accordingly. The episode ends with the "rebloom" team about to perform.
2"Level Placement Test & Re-evaluation Test"
Transliteration: "Reberu Wake Tesuto Ando Saihyōka Tesuto" (Japanese: レベル分けテスト & 再評価テスト)		October 12, 2023 (2023-10-12)
The "Level Placement Test" continues and the final twelve teams perform. After all the contestants have received their grades, they begin training for their next mission: the "Re-evaluation Test". Contestants are grouped together by grade and learn the choreography and lyrics to the theme song "LEAP HIGH" under the trainers' instruction. After practice has ended, each contestant performs the song in front of the trainers, who will then decide whether they will re-assign them a new grade or keep the original one.

Then, everyone from A class gets a chance to audition for the center position and solo parts, and the remaining contestants vote for the trainee they think is most suitable. Additionally, the A class trainees will compete for three solo parts. Suzu Yamamoto, Tsuzumi Ebihara, and Rino Sakaguchi are announced as the winners for the solo parts, while Miu Sakurai and Ran Ishii are announced as the finalists for the center position. Sakurai eventually secures the spot and the theme song stage is recorded with her at the center.

Afterwards, the next test is announced: the "Group Battle". The member who gets to choose her team first is selected through a lottery and Ishii is chosen to go first. Once almost all the contestants have joined a team, it's announced that center Sakurai gets to "steal" members of other teams for her own one. This leads to a reshuffle of the teams as slots for "stolen" members have to be filled again. The teams then decide which songs they want to perform for the next evaluation and the stages commence, starting with the first "How You Like That" team.

The order begins with rank 20 up to 1, giving higher-ranked trainees the advantage of stealing other trainees' positions and moving them to a different position. After positions are confirmed, the trainees begin practicing in preparation for the final stage. The trainees also practice for their final ballad, "FLY UP SO HIGH", written by Kaela Kimura since the 1st Ranking Announcement Ceremony.
