"Which do you want to watch!? TSUTAYA Entertainment Battle" is a project where two of TSUTAYA's handpicked video buyers present their recommended foreign and Japanese films based on a set theme each month. Professional judges evaluate the films, and Facebook users who watch the presentation videos compete by voting with comments on which film they want to see. The three professional judges are: Nameko Shinsan, who works as a manga artist and columnist; Shintaro Uchinuma, the representative of numabooks and a book coordinator and creative director; and Bourbonne, a drag performer and writer.

Additionally, we will be giving away 1,000 T-POINT to 10 Facebook users each month who submit a comment with their vote.
The recommended works will be selected from those that the judges have not yet seen.

And after we close the voting period where you can comment on which film you'd like to see after listening to the video buyer's presentation,
we will now publish the results. We will also publish the judges' impressions of the works at a later date.

The theme for the first episode is "Sports-themed Movie Battle."
Furthermore, as a demo for the official release, we have also released a video titled "Beautiful Girl Movie Battle," which shows the process from presentations to judging by professional judges.
TSUTAYA.com offers a variety of services, including the video streaming service "TSUTAYA TV," the online home delivery rental service "TSUTAYA DISCAS," and the e-book service "TSUTAYA.com eBOOKs." Moving forward, we will continue to expand our services to "deliver all kinds of entertainment content to anyone, anywhere, anytime, through the internet in the most convenient way possible."
