Spotted this ad while riding a taxi in Tokyo—it’s for a show called Chance School: Change Department on ABEMA. Looked it up. It’s basically a group of stylish women (often from the nightlife scene) join a mock “school” to level up their elegance, smarts, and charm. Think makeovers, life tips, and playful challenges—all wrapped in a glossy variety show format. Only in Japan can self-improvement feel this chic.
