Yusuke Yamamoto Seeks Offers in Real-Time 'Yusuke Yamamoto 30-Hour Offer Waiting Marathon' Aims for 60km Completion, Yamamoto Declares 'Even if my legs rot, I'll crawl to the goal' - Actor Delighted with One Job Offer on Day 1 of Marathon

ABEMA, the 'new future television' celebrating its 10th anniversary on Saturday, April 11, 2026, is broadcasting the special program '30-Hour Limit Break Festival' live from 3 PM on Saturday, April 11, to 10 PM on Sunday, April 12.

From 6 PM, actor Yusuke Yamamoto, who gained significant attention with the popular segment 'Yusuke Yamamoto Becomes a Host' from 'Ai no Hyena,' is taking on the 'Yusuke Yamamoto 30-Hour Offer Waiting Marathon.' In this challenge, he attempts a long 'limit-breaking marathon' of 30 hours while aiming to secure job offers in real-time.

For this marathon, set on Miyakejima in the Izu Islands, Yamamoto aims to complete two laps of the island, approximately 60km, by 10 PM tomorrow, the 12th, and to secure real-time job offers for dramas, movies, and commercials through his efforts.

Yamamoto has been practicing diligently for this marathon. During a break from practice, he spoke with deep emotion, saying, 'I never thought someone like me would have multiple cameras following me like this.' He also tightened his expression, acknowledging the significant role in ABEMA's 10th anniversary, stating, 'I have to fulfill it. I feel that responsibility,' and showed his resolve, 'Even if my legs rot, I will crawl to the goal.'

At the starting point, Yamamoto's 'host mentor' Gunshin (Kazuki Kokorozato), along with popular hosts Motoki Kokorozato, Noah, and Hideki Aso, came to cheer him on. Gunshin, who served as the starter, encouraged him, saying, 'This 60 kilometers, this length, is the length of your resolve. It's the length of how much you want to return to terrestrial television, so run with all your might. I'm sure you can run it. We're all cheering for you. I think the entire host industry is cheering for you!'

At the water stations, Motoki Kokorozato, Noah, and Hideki Aso, familiar hosts from 'Yusuke Yamamoto Becomes a Host,' prepared a 'Tequila Ferris Wheel,' symbolizing the nightlife, to support Yamamoto. (The contents are sports drinks.)

On the first night, Yamamoto secured one job offer and exclaimed with joy, 'Yusuke Yamamoto is exhausted, but I feel absolutely great right now! Yay!'

'Yusuke Yamamoto 30-Hour Offer Waiting Marathon' continues today.

The special program '30-Hour Limit Break Festival' features special editions of popular original programs, as well as numerous challenging projects unique to ABEMA.
