ABEMA Original Dating Reality Show 'Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita.' Holds Special Event at Tokyo Dream Park for its Grand Opening! Audience Delighted by Surprise Appearance of Haruto Imai & Nene Tokita 'Harunene' Couple

New Future TV "ABEMA" held a special event for its original dating reality show 'Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita.' series at Tokyo Dream Park on Friday, March 27th.

Tokyo Dream Park (TDP), where 'Kyo Suki' held its special event, is a multi-purpose entertainment complex that opened in Ariake on Friday, March 27th.

The special event featured three couples: Shun (Shun Kurasawa) and Yuma (Yuma Tanimura) – the "Shunyuma" couple; Yuta (Yuta Nishikoji) and Hinata (Hinata Tanaka) – the "Yutahina" couple; and Kanato (Kanato Kawamura) and Rinon (Rinon Aiba) – the "Kanarino" couple. Also appearing was NON STYLE's Yusuke Inoue, who serves as a "love observer" for the high school students on 'Kyo Suki'. The event was greatly enlivened by unique couple-centric activities such as "First Joint Task! Love Delivery Service" and "Couple Showdown! Borrowing Race," as well as talk segments by the cast.

The three couples who appeared on stage each expressed their enthusiasm for the upcoming challenges. The Shunyuma couple commented, Shun: "I think we can win because our love is strong!" Yuma: "I'm confident because Shun-kun and I use the same words and get along well." The Kanarino couple commented, Kanato: "Since we've been dating the longest, I hope we can show how close we are." Rinon: "We get along well and know each other well, so I think we can win." The Yutahina couple commented, Yuta: "Although we haven't been dating long, I hope we can show our fresh charm." Hinata: "I want to use the fact that we haven't been dating long as a weapon and win using recently acquired information." In a surprise appearance, Haruto (Haruto Imai) and Nene (Nene Tokita) – the "Harunene" couple – also appeared at the venue. Haruto commented, "I definitely want to win!" and Nene said, "We just started dating, but I don't want to lose!" The venue erupted in loud cheers.

The first activity was "First Joint Task! Love Delivery Service." Couples worked together to create instant camera (Cheki) presents and deliver them to the audience. The team that delivered the most presents to the audience won.

The first match was between the Shunyuma couple and the Kanarino couple. Shun expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "In terms of dating period, Kanarino has been together longer, but I think our bond and love are strong enough to overcome that, so I want to win." Kanato also revealed his feelings, saying, "I wanted to talk to Shun-kun, so I hope to win here, show some seniority, and then become good friends." Both teams happily took Cheki photos, wrote messages on them, and delivered them as presents to the audience. The audience erupted in near-screaming applause for the interactive competition with the fans, and the Shunyuma team narrowly secured the victory.

Next was the match between the Yutahina couple and the Harunene couple. Hinata, who loves competition, said, "I absolutely don't want to lose!" and powerfully commented, "I feel like I'll lose if I say I'm not confident, so I am confident!" Haruto also showed his enthusiasm, saying, "Compared to Yuta (his opponent), I'm more energetic! I'll do my best!" Despite a mishap where the Cheki camera stopped working midway, both couples diligently delivered presents to the audience, and the Yutahina couple, who caught up in the latter half, claimed victory.

Next up was the "Couple Showdown! Borrowing Race," where participants "borrowed" people from the audience who matched a chosen theme. First, the Kanarino couple and the Yutahina couple competed. For the theme "Someone with strong grip strength," audience members were called to the stage. A man Hinata intuitively felt was "the one!" and a man Kanato chose by shaking hands with were brought onto the stage for a grip strength battle. As a result, the Yutahina couple won.

Then, in the match between the Shunyuma couple and the Harunene couple, two people selected from the audience for the theme "Someone good at mental arithmetic" challenged each other. As Nene said, "I won because I was lucky in rock-paper-scissors," the Harunene couple achieved a splendid victory.

The event was finally coming to an end. Lastly, all four couples shared their comments about the event. Shun: "I was very happy to meet everyone today, and it was fun to have an event that involved the audience." Yuma: "I had never done an event that went off stage, so it was fresh and fun." Kanato: "Through the Youth Festival and this event, I was able to interact with the audience and feel their passion." Rinon: "There haven't been many events where we could communicate at close range, so I felt very happy." Yuta: "I'm truly happy to have appeared on the opening day of Tokyo Dream Park, and it was great to enjoy it at close quarters with the fans." Hinata: "It was really fun to be able to do this participatory event with the audience, as there aren't many, and I received a lot of power from everyone." Haruto: "Today, Harunene made a surprise appearance and I was quite nervous, but everyone warmly cheered us on, and it was a fun and wonderful day." Nene: "I was happy to be able to do this event with these members, and it was fun to play games that involved everyone. I was also happy to receive messages of support from everyone."

Furthermore, at this event, the holding of the "Kyo Suki Summer Festival Event" at Tokyo Dream Park on Monday, August 10, 2026, was also announced. The 'Kyo Suki' series consistently garners much empathy and excitement, especially among teenagers, with each season.
