TV series or program

Star Tanjō! (スター誕生！, Sutā Tanjō!, lit. A Star Is Born!) is a Japanese talent show from Nippon Television that ran from 1971 to 1983. On October 24, 1982, the series was retitled Shin Star Tanjō! (新・スター誕生!, Shin Sutā Tanjō!, lit. A New Star Is Born!) to reflect its switch from monaural to stereo broadcasting. On April 3, 1983, it was again retitled to Star Tanjō! ~ Zenkoku senbatsu uta no senshuken ~ (スター誕生!～全国選抜歌の選手権～, Sutā Tanjō! ~ Zenkoku senbatsu uta no senshuken ~, lit. A Star Is Born! Nationally Selected Song Championship).

The show was created by songwriter Yū Aku, who also served as one of the judges.

In 2021, Nippon TV reused the title for the music show Nogizaka Star Tanjō!, hosted by comedy duo Pekopa and starring members of girl group Nogizaka46, which ran for two seasons. Unlike the original, the show was not a competition and only open to Nogizaka46 members, especially those of the fourth generation. It was followed by Shin Nogizaka Star Tanjō! in 2022, hosted by comedy duo Ozwald and featuring the Nogizaka46 fifth generation members.^[1]
