There is so much more excitement than just the Rugby World Cup that awaits viewers \u2013 kykNET is sending a team to Japan to show viewers the excitement in the country during the Rugby World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the show, In Japan, Ja!, the two presenters, Vanes-Mari du Toit and Hamilton Wessels, follow the Bok squad to Japan in their search for a third World Cup title. For 10 weeks, these two will travel around Japan, visit some of the country\u2019s most popular tourist attractions and experience the spirit of the Rugby World Cup 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vanes-Mari, a former Protea netball player, is known as one of Kw\u00eala\u2019s field presenters and will also be seen early in 2020 as the presenter of kykNET\u2019s reality show, Hoor my, Sien my, Soen my. \u201cIn Japan, Ja! is a combination of comedy, lifestyle and travel. I look forward to showing viewers what happens in Japan during the World Cup from a fan and supporter\u2019s view,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamilton Wessels, or, as his friends call him, Hammie, is singer Robbie Wessels\u2019 brother. He is one of the Virseker Beker presenters and has played a role in movies, such as Poena is Koning, 100m Leeuloop and Durban Poison. \u201cTo watch a Bok game is special. To watch it live at a stadium is next level. To tour with the Bok squad in Japan is an experience I can\u2019t describe in words. I\u2019m beyond excited and will make sure that the Bok squad brings the Cup home, even if it means I must go onto the field and play myself. Japan, I hope you are ready for the guy with the moustache.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fun and games await these two \u2013 Hamilton is excited to taste Japanese wasabi and meet a real ninja. They have undertaken to try new dishes \u2013 who of the two will be brave enough? And Hamilton, who loves to play pranks, might have a few surprises up his sleeve\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sumo wrestling, the Tsukiji Fish Market, Harajuku girls, real ninjas, the Bok fan zones and the excitement of the Rugby World Cup \u2013 viewers can forward to this, and so much more, in In Japan, Ja!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan, Ja! consists of 10 episodes and will be broadcast Saturdays 18:30 from 14 September on kykNET (DStv 144). Proudly sponsored by Nedbank Travel Card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Rugby W\u00eareldbeker skop af op 20 September en die Springbok-span, wat pas aangekondig is, vertrek binnekort Japan toe om teen die beste rugbyspanne vir die gesogte titel van w\u00eareldkampioenne mee te ding. Daar wag egter veel meer opwinding as net die Rugby W\u00eareldbeker op kykers \u2013 kykNET stuur \u2018n span saam Japan toe om vir kykers \u2018n blik van die opwinding in di\u00e9 land tydens die W\u00eareldbeker te gee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In die program, In Japan, Ja! gaan die twee aanbieders, Vanes-Mari du Toit en Hamilton Wessels, die Bokke volg op hul soektog na \u2018n derde W\u00eareldbekertitel. Vir tien weke gaan di\u00e9 twee saam in Japan kuier, van die land se gewildste toeristebestemmings besoek en die gees van die Rugbyw\u00eareldbeker 2019 beleef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vanes-Mari, \u2018n voormalige Protea-netbalspeler, is veral bekend as een van Kw\u00eala se veldaanbieders en sal vroeg in 2020 gesien word as aanbieder van die kykNET realiteitsprogram, Hoor my, Sien my, Soen my. \u201cIn Japan, Ja! is \u2018n lekker kombinasie van komedie, leefstyl en reis. Boonop kry kykers die geleentheid om saam met ons die Bokke beter te leer ken op hul missie om die W\u00eareldbeker te wen. Ek sien ook vreeslik uit daarna om vir kykers \u2018n blik te gee van wat in Japan tydens die W\u00eareldbeker gebeur, vanuit \u2018n fan en ondersteuner se oogpunt,\u201d meen sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamilton Wessels, of soos vriende hom noem, Hammie, is die sanger Robbie Wessels se broer. Hy is een van Virseker Beker se aanbieders en het ook al sy lyf akteur gehou in flieks soos Poena is Koning, 100m Leeuloop  en Durban Poison. \u201cOm \u2018n Bok-wedstryd te kyk, is spesiaal. Om dit op \u2018n stadion te kyk is next level. Om saam die Bokke vir die W\u00eareld Beker in Japan te toer is \u2018n ervaring wat ek nie in woorde kan beskryf nie. Ek is uit my vel van opgewondenheid en gaan seker maak die Bokke bring daardie Beker huis toe, al moet ek tokse aantrek en self op draf. Japan, ek hoop julle is gereed vir die ou met die snor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Groot pret wag op di\u00e9 twee \u2013 Hamilton is opgewonde om Japannese wasabi te proe en \u2018n regte ninja te ontmoet! Hulle het ook onderneem om nuwe disse te probeer \u2013 watter een van die twee gaan braaf genoeg wees? En grapjas Hamilton het dalk ook \u2018n paar verrassings wat hy beplan\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sumo-stoeigevegte, die Tsukiji-vismark, Harajuku-meisies, regte ninja\u2019s, die Bokke fan zones en natuurlik die opwinding van die Rugby W\u00eareldbeker \u2013 dit alles, en nog baie meer, kan kykers van In Japan, Ja! verwag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan, Ja! bestaan uit 10 episodes en word Saterdae om 18:30 vanaf 14 September op kykNET DStv kanaal 144 uitgesaai.
