“HITOSHI MATSUMTO Presents FREEZE Season 2” Overview
Following “HITOSHI MATSUMOTO Presents Documental,” one of the biggest shows in Amazon Prime Video Japan and now in its ninth season as of 2021, “HITOSHI MATSUMOTO Presents FREEZE” was launched on September 2018, where participants battle against each other to survive, with an unprecedented “you-just-need-to-endure.” The only rule in this battle: “you move, you lose.” Unlike the previous season, this series brings a “team battle” where celebrities in all fields join to form a team to battle against each other. The participants must control themselves to stay still and freeze like ice, while showing no emotion. The last one to move wins the endurance battle.
