■ What is "Sayonara Propose via Australia"?
This is a heartbreaking and love-filled marriage-decision reality show where couples who have been dating but cannot bring themselves to get married go on a 7-day overseas trip. On the final day, they must decide to either "marry" or "break up." As values toward marriage diversify in recent years, the show offers a peek into the realistic misunderstandings and true feelings of couples facing "marriage" or "breakup," watching over their growth and decisions.
In the latest season, "Sayonara Propose via Australia," set against the magnificent nature and liberating atmosphere of Australia, a series-record three couples participate. The new season features: 29-year-old Naoki, who works at a foreign IT company and wants his partner to be independent, and his 28-year-old girlfriend Rino, who wants to be a full-time homemaker in the future; 39-year-old Kenshi, a company manager who lost his desire to marry after two divorces, and his 31-year-old girlfriend Sachie, who can no longer trust him due to his past actions; and 30-year-old Yuki, who is hesitant to marry, and his 29-year-old girlfriend Runa, who strongly desires to marry by age 30. The studio commentators include Sayaka's Niiyama, Hiccorohee, Miki Fujimoto, Dori Sakurada, and Yuchami.
In the 8th episode broadcasting on Thursday, April 23, 2026, the couples are shown on their final day, just one day before their decision. In episode 7, a decisive clash of values regarding "work style" and "money" after marriage became apparent between Naoki (29) and Rino (28). While Naoki expressed his ideal marriage: "I want us to pursue what we love and find self-realization through work," and "I want her to keep working," Rino confessed her childhood dream: "I always thought I would absolutely become a stay-at-home wife."
In episode 8, the two head to their final dinner right before the decision. The dinner starts in a harmonious atmosphere, but Rino, with tears in her eyes, prefaces her thoughts: "Coming on this trip, Naoki has become more empathetic. I'm glad we came on this trip and that we dated," but then reveals her true feelings: "However, when thinking seriously about marriage, it's painful to face the fact that our imagined family dynamics are different." She adds, "If Naoki has completely decided that a 'stay-at-home wife is absolutely out of the question,' then marriage might be difficult." How will Naoki respond to this...?
Furthermore, the couple Yuki (30), who is hesitant to marry, and Runa (29), who wants to marry by 30, also faces a turbulent development before decision day. Yuki cries, saying, "I can't imagine getting married and being happy. I only thought about it like 'maybe someday when I can earn more.' But on this trip, I have to choose whether to marry or break up... Right now, I still don't know." Seeing this, MC Niiyama from Sayaka couldn't help but comment, "After talking for 6 days, the conclusion is 'I don't know'...? (laughs) His charm and lovability as a human being are just too much." What words will Runa, who desires marriage and childbirth, say to the agonizing Yuki...?
Also, the couple of Kenshi (39), the company manager who lost his desire to marry after two divorces, and his girlfriend Sachie (31), who lost trust in him due to past actions, ends up with Sachie in tears after a discussion, asking, "We love each other, so why can't we get married?"
The 8th episode of "Sayonara Propose via Australia," where the 3 couples go on their respective final dates and clash with their true feelings, will be broadcast tonight, Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 9 PM. Please look forward to it.
