How have the TELOPs run from the 1960s to the 2000s? What part have the TELOPs played in the Japanese TV programs? Japanese variety shows often use the TELOPs and writing information on the set. The viewers who enjoy the program with the TELOPs are said to have some interest in the TELOPs, but not enough research has been conducted. NHK is now prepared for those who carry on various researches. This paper investigates the actual conditions of those writing information. In this paper I use the last 50-year writing date, cited from the variety shows in the NHK archives. The amount of writing information has gradually increased from the 1960s to the 2000s. The TELOPs have two functions. The first function is to clarify the composition of the program. The second function is to bring about the stage effects and“ hook” the viewers. This research suggests that the writing tool has much changed the writing information including the TELOPs. New writing technology has“ hooked” viewers who are doing something else besides watching TV.
