Keyakitte, Kakenai? Where is Nogizaka? Nogizaka Under Construction Hiragana Oshi Hinatazaka de Aimashō

Soko Magattara, Sakurazaka? (そこ曲がったら、櫻坂?, "If You Turn There, is it Sakurazaka?") is a Japanese late night variety show starring Japanese idol group Sakurazaka46. It is hosted by Yū Sawabe and Teruyuki Tsuchida and airs every Sunday at 12:35 AM JST on TV Tokyo. It is the direct continuation of Keyakitte, Kakenai?, which had the same cast, format, and time slot, but named after the former name of Sakurazaka46, Keyakizaka46.

The show is also often referred to as Soko Saku (そこさく), which is a shortened version of the original title. This shorter name is also used as part of the name for an original content series on VR SQUARE called "Soko Saku VR" and another feature available on GYAO! called "Soko Saku Daihyakkajiten" (そこさく大百科事典, "Soko Saku Encyclopedia").

History

The idol group Keyakizaka46 was rebranded into Sakurazaka46 on October 14, 2020, and it was announced in the Keyakitte, Kakenai? broadcast on October 11 that the show would also be renewed with a new title. The new show aired on October 19 without the title card in the beginning, and the new title was announced in the middle of the show. The title references the fact that the real Keyakizaka and Sakurazaka streets in Roppongi, Tokyo, are connected. Despite being a variety show, like Keyakitte, Kakenai?, this show is also used as a platform for various announcements regarding the group or the members, including the announcement of various Sakurazaka46 single selections.

From April 5, 2021, an exclusive broadcast catch-up service began to be available on GYAO! every Monday after the live television broadcast. This service provides a delayed on-demand streaming solution for fans or potential audiences who missed the live television broadcast. On GYAO!, a special edition of "Soko Saku Encyclopaedia" had been available since March of the same year, prior to the start of the on-demand streaming of the show.

On October 4, 2021, the video service VR SQUARE, operated by Softbank, also started providing on-demand streaming access to previous live television broadcasts of the show. Besides having the on-demand catch-up streaming service, various original contents, like spin-off videos, are also available on VR SQUARE and FR SQUARE. "Soko Saku VR" is one of the exclusive contents available on VR SQUARE.

On March 31, 2023, GYAO! stopped providing the broadcast catch-up service and the service is no longer accessible from 05:00 PM JST of that day.

On February 20, 2023, the 119th and 120th episode titled "Sakurazaka46 5th single hit prayer campaign" was released on YouTube by Sakurazaka46 OFFICIAL YouTube CHANNEL. The uploaded video has since been set to private by the channel owner.

On September 20, 2023, it was announced that VR SQUARE broadcast catch-up (on-demand streaming) and other original exclusives will no longer be added to platform from September 24, 2023 onward. Though, an archive of the already added contents on VR SQUARE will still be available according to the announcement post.

On March 12, 2024, during Sakurazaka46 4th ARENA TOUR 2024 in Osaka-jō Hall, it was announced that from April 8, 2024, the show will be available as a video on demand on the Lemino web streaming platform, which is operated by NTT Docomo. A special commemorative program for this occasion, scheduled to broadcast on March 22, 2024, was also announced.
