Announcer Nishizawa in Marriage Hunt Struggles with Love Triangle Involving CEO and Handsome Model; 34-year-old Beautiful CEO Sheds First Tears in Off-shoulder Dress; 27-year-old Popular Model Natsue Tokumoto Faces Ultimate Choice Between ¥100M-earning Todai Grad and ¥1.2M-earning Dream Chaser

New Future TV "ABEMA" broadcast Episode 3 of its original marriage hunting reality show "Clockwork Marriage" from 10 PM on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.

This series is a marriage hunting reality show that follows three beautiful women, confident in love but beginners in marriage hunting, as they embark on a "deadline-driven marriage hunting program" to find a marriage partner within a 30-day countdown to a wedding. Ayaka (Ayaka Nakano), a CEO with experience appearing on popular marriage hunting shows, Yuka (Yuka Nishizawa), an active announcer, and Natsue (Natsue Tokumoto), a model – three women who have fulfilling careers and private lives – rely on limited information such as income and age rankings to select one man they wish 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 daily towards the wedding 30 days later: either to deepen their relationship through "cohabitation" or to "break off the engagement" and choose another man. The studio MCs are Shigeo Takahashi of Savanna, Natsuna, Elf Arakawa, and Kasumi Mori.

Announcer Nishizawa in Marriage Hunt Struggles with Love Triangle Involving CEO and Handsome Model... First Experience in "Engagement" Life

In Episode 3, a "Masquerade Ball" was held where the women interacted with men whose faces were hidden. The women wore masks and nominated one man they were interested in from the group of men whose mouths were visible. If they obtained permission from their current fiancé, they could go on a date with that man while keeping their fiancé.

Yuka, an active announcer, spotted Kyosuke, a CEO with an annual income of 40 million yen, whom she had been interested in after seeing his profile, purely by the atmosphere of his conversation, and had her long-awaited first meeting. Yuka, who found herself drawn to him, saying, "I wanted to go on a date with him," consulted her current fiancé, handsome model S. Ryo, saying, "I'm thinking of going on a date..." However, S. Ryo showed a pained expression, saying, "If you're prepared for our relationship to break off because of this, then go..." Afterwards, Yuka, who went on a date with Kyosuke, was suddenly called by her first name by him, and she showed a shy expression, saying, "Suddenly by my first name! This is the first time I've been called by my first name in this communal living." Furthermore, she said, "It was really good to meet you. You're different from what I expected in a good way," and their relationship rapidly deepened. Will Yuka, torn between her current fiancé and a new high-spec CEO, hand over the key to whom...?
