ABEMA's Original Popular Variety Show 'Love Hyena' Series Season 5 Records Highest Weekly Average Viewership in Series History!

The new future TV 'ABEMA' is pleased to announce that the latest installment, Season 5 of the original ABEMA program 'Love Hyena,' featuring comedians New York and Saraba Seishun no Hikari as regular cast members, has recorded the highest weekly average viewership in the series' history.

The 'Love Hyena' series is an unreserved documentary variety show where the four members of the comedy duos New York and Saraba Seishun no Hikari, acting as 'hyenas hungry for love,' delve into human 'desires' centered around the theme of 'love,' savoring every 'moment' that makes viewers want to peek.

Season 5, which aired its final episode on Tuesday, March 24th, achieved the highest weekly average viewership in the series' history. In Season 5, the flagship segment 'Yusuke Yamamoto Becomes a Host?' tested 'Can handsome celebrities actually earn money if they work at a host club?' and featured the 'Clash of the Strongest Charisma Group' arc. This segment showed Yamamoto's struggles in what is considered the most challenging establishment in the series' history. Additionally, as part of the program's unique dating企画, we broadcast 'Can't I Fall in Pure Love?' featuring sexy actresses, 'Silicon's Love' for women who have undergone plastic surgery, and 'Vibes Love' for Reiwa-era gals. We also delivered aggressive content such as close-ups on women who gave birth in their teens, families living in polygamous marriages, and the current lives of 'notorious new adults' who once caused a stir with their flamboyant attire at Coming-of-Age ceremonies. The final episode is available for free catch-up viewing until Tuesday, March 31st, at 11:59 PM. Due to popular demand, a new season, 'Love Hyena Season 6,' has also been decided. Details will be announced later.

Furthermore, on Tuesday, March 17th, during the broadcast of Season 5, the program's first real event, 'Secret Meeting ~Only Those with Tight Lips Need Apply~ Presented by Love Hyena,' was held. Following the announcement of the event's decision, on-site tickets sold out in seconds after general sales began. At the event, we presented 'Kabukicho Behind-the-Scenes Host Talk,' which could only be heard there and was strictly confidential, and the VTR project 'Yusuke Yamamoto's Strongest Right-Hand Man Audition,' where Higashi Bukuro, solo comedian Hyoro-ku, and Sugachan Saiko No.1 of the comedy trio Party Party challenged themselves to become hosts to become Yusuke Yamamoto's 'right-hand man.' This can be viewed on 'ABEMA PPV' until Thursday, April 16th, at 11:59 PM.

In commemoration of ABEMA's 10th anniversary, a special program '30-Hour Limit Break Festival,' to be broadcast from Saturday, April 11th, 3:00 PM to Sunday, April 12th, 10:00 PM, will feature live broadcasts of 'Love Hyena Special Edition: Gather, Hyena Forest' and 'Yusuke Yamamoto 30-Hour Marathon Waiting for Offers.' In 'Gather, Hyena Forest,' New York and Saraba Seishun no Hikari will thoroughly pursue 'troublemakers' on the verge of broadcast live. In 'Yusuke Yamamoto 30-Hour Marathon Waiting for Offers,' Yusuke Yamamoto will aim to secure job offers in real-time while undertaking a marathon. Guests such as Gunshin (Kazuki Minato), who can be called Yamamoto's 'host master,' and popular hosts from the program are scheduled to attend to cheer him on.

Please look forward to the 'Love Hyena' series, which will continue to deliver various projects in the future.
