Golden SixTones (ゴールデンストーンズ; stylized as Golden SixTONES and pronounced "Golden Stones") is a Japanese television variety show produced by Nippon Television. The program features the six-member boy group SixTones. The series premiered in April 2025 and airs weekly on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. JST as a regular program on the Nippon Television network.[1][2]

It is a studio-based Japanese variety program featuring members of SixTones as the main participants. The show centers on game-based segments and talk portions involving invited guests. Many segments are structured as competitions in which participants compete for gourmet food rewards. In some competitions, only the winner receives the reward, while in individual or team-based formats, the quantity and toppings of the food vary depending on the outcome.

Recurring segments include Size no Bansan, a game centered on judging whether everyday objects fit within a designated space; Dotai Kyuji, which involves visual perception challenges presented in a sports-themed format; Matsuken Number, a rhythm-based counting game performed to music; Dajare Red Carpet, a fast-paced quiz segment focused on identifying wordplay, and many others.

Golden SixTones was developed by Nippon Television as a new regular variety program following the conclusion of Gyoretsu no Dekiru Sodanjo, which ended in March 2025 after a 23 year run. The program is an expanded and rebranded version of Game of SixTones, a special program that aired in September 2024 and January 2025 and received a positive response, leading to its serialization.[47]

The show is produced by Nippon Television, with Yoshihiro Miyazaki serving as producer. Nippon Television executives positioned the program as a flagship variety series within the network’s Sunday night lineup, airing after The! Tetsuwan! DASH!! and Sekai no Hatemade ItteQ!. The network cited the variety skills and studio presence of SixTones as key factors in assigning the group to the competitive 9:00 p.m. time slot.

The production team has stated that the program emphasizes studio-based games and guest-driven segments, aiming to highlight the group’s chemistry and interaction in a prime-time setting.[1]

The program airs weekly on Nippon Television every Sunday at 9:00 p.m. JST. In addition to its terrestrial broadcast, episodes are made available for catch-up streaming on Hulu, TVer, and NTV TADA. Beginning with the May 11, 2025 broadcast, the series also became available for catch-up streaming on Netflix, marking the first time a regular variety program produced by Nippon Television has been distributed on the platform. Episodes are released on Netflix sequentially following their television broadcast, with international distribution planned to roll out gradually outside Japan.[48][49]
