is an annual music show held among the Fuji Network System and Fuji Television since 1974. The program originated as a song contest to celebrate Fuji TV's 15th anniversary. It is commonly known as FNS, however it has no official short name.

The program and its annual specials, spanning more than 50 years, has its Spring special cancelled for the first time, due to a lack of commercial sponsors in 2025.
