New Future TV "ABEMA" broadcasted the second episode of its original marriage-hunting reality show "Clockwork Marriage" from 10 PM on Tuesday, May 5, 2026 (JST).

This show is a marriage-hunting reality program that follows three beautiful women, confident in romance but new to marriage hunting, who must find a marriage partner within a 30-day time limit until their wedding ceremony. Ayaka (Ayaka Nakano), a CEO with experience appearing on popular marriage-hunting programs, Yuka (Yuka Nishizawa), a current announcer, and Natsue (Natsue Tokumoto), a model – all three leading fulfilling professional and private lives – rely on limited information such as annual income and age rankings to select one person they want to meet from a total of 30 "high-spec men" with an average annual income exceeding 20 million yen. After a date with that man, they make the ultimate decision each day leading up to the wedding 30 days later: either to deepen their relationship through "cohabitation" starting the next day, or to "break off the engagement" and choose another man. The studio MCs are Shigeo Takahashi of Savanna, Natsuna, Arakawa of Elf, and Kasumi Mori.

Announcer Nishizawa, in the midst of marriage hunting, begins "cohabitation" with a handsome model 3 years her junior! "A refreshing handsome man"

Yuka, a current announcer who made a tough decision in the first episode by not giving her date partner a key, chose S. Ryo (29 years old), a company employee and model working for a major corporation, as her next partner. Upon their first meeting, S. Ryo rushed from Nagoya by Shinkansen early in the morning. Yuka felt a good impression, saying, "He was a refreshing handsome man," but harbored concerns due to the age difference and a potential misalignment in marriage aspirations. However, through their restaurant date, they hit it off, with Yuka feeling, "Maybe our ways of thinking are similar." Yuka decided to give him the key, successfully forming a "zero-day engagement." Then, on their first night starting their "cohabitation" life, the two unexpectedly got closer...? Studio MC Natsuna couldn't help but exclaim, "Is it okay to watch this!?" leading to great excitement.

Furthermore, a new rule, "KEEP Date," was activated, allowing participants to date another man while continuing their current engagement. Ayaka, who is currently engaged to Shogo, a high school graduate CEO with an annual income of 30 million yen, went on a date with Y. Ryo, a national university part-time lecturer and model with an annual income of 3.6 million yen. Ayaka commented, "He listened intently to my words, as if with big ears. I thought his wonderful quality was saying things like, 'I think so too,' or 'I felt the same way.'" She found herself drawn to him because he listened sincerely. In a warm atmosphere filled with natural conversation, Ayaka even made an active appeal, "I want to hold hands..." despite having an "fiancé." Will it be Shogo, with his masculinity and overwhelming financial power, or Y. Ryo, who gently soothes her daily fatigue? Ayaka is wavering between two men with extremely contrasting charms. What ultimate decision did she make...?
