New Future TV "ABEMA" will broadcast the second episode of its original marriage-hunting reality show "Tokeijikake no Marriage" (Clockwork Marriage) from 10 PM on Tuesday, May 5, 2026 (JST).
This show is a marriage-hunting reality program that follows three beautiful women who are confident in love but new to marriage-hunting, as they must find a marriage partner within a 30-day time limit leading up to a wedding ceremony. Ayaka (Ayaka Nakano), a manager with experience appearing on popular marriage-hunting shows, Yuka (Yuka Nishizawa), an active announcer, and Natsue (Natsue Tokumoto), a model, all of whom have fulfilling careers and personal lives, rely on limited information such as income and age rankings to select one "high-spec man" from a total of 30 men with an average annual income exceeding 20 million yen whom they wish to meet. After dating the chosen man, they face the ultimate decision of either "cohabitation" to deepen their relationship for the next day and beyond, or "breaking off the engagement" to separate and choose a different man, repeating this process daily towards the wedding ceremony 30 days later. Studio MCs include Shigeo Takahashi of Savanna, Natsuna, Arakawa of Elf, and Kasumi Mori.
Announcer Nishizawa's First Date with a "High-Spec" Company Employee from a Major Firm
In the first episode, the show began dramatically with Yuka, an active announcer, making the tough decision not to give a spare key for "cohabitation" due to a discrepancy with her future plans, after her first date partner, a "high-spec man" with an "annual income of 14 million yen and a returnee background," was very late. Under the rule that they cannot marriage-hunt with the same person twice, Yuka nominates a man described as a "company employee at a major firm and a model" as her next partner in the second episode. Yuka initially harbors concerns about him, who rushed to the date from Nagoya by Shinkansen, saying, "I wonder if he's not really serious about wanting to get married..." due to differences in age and marriage aspirations. Meanwhile, the studio MCs are highly excited by Yuka's date partner, exclaiming, "A handsome guy came!", "He's good-looking," and "He's refreshing." Will Yuka be able to envision a future of marriage as they explore each other's values and future visions through the date...?
Natsuna Wildly Excited by Unpredictable Developments: "I'm starting to want to marriage-hunt too," "Is it okay to watch this?!"
During the program, there are also scenes where relationships between participants rapidly develop. Studio MC Natsuna becomes wildly excited by the fresh interactions between the men and women engaged in marriage-hunting, exclaiming, "I'm starting to want to marriage-hunt too!" Furthermore, the unexpected sweet developments and close interactions lead the studio into an uproar of "Wait, wait!" and "OMG!!" Natsuna can't help but scream, "No way?!", "Is it okay to watch this?!" What on earth will happen...?
Handsome Men from Dating Survival Shows Also Appear One After Another Before 34-Year-Old Beautiful CEO & 27-Year-Old Popular Model
Moreover, a new rule, "KEEP Date," is activated, allowing participants to date other men while maintaining their current engagement, leading to the continuous appearance of new high-spec men. Ayaka, a 34-year-old beautiful CEO who is engaged to Shogo, a man with an annual income of 30 million yen and who manages two construction companies, goes on a date with a man described as a "part-time national university lecturer and model." Meanwhile, Natsue, a 27-year-old popular model, also selects a new partner, an "elite graduate of the University of Tokyo, raised in Japan, with the highest annual income." Handsome men with experience from dating survival shows also appear, swaying the hearts of the women.
With the activation of the dramatic new rule, the second episode of "Tokeijikake no Marriage," which shows increasingly unpredictable developments, will be broadcast from 10 PM on Tuesday, May 5 (JST). Please watch their decisions unfold.
