(C)AbemaTV,Inc.(C)AbemaTV,Inc. ABEMA, the new future of television, aired the 8th and final episode of its original dating reality show 'Marriage Clockwork' on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 10 PM. The series follows three beautiful women who are confident in love but new to marriage hunting. They must find a marriage partner within a 30-day deadline leading up to a wedding — a time-limited marriage program. The participants include business owner Ayaka (Nakano Ayaka), who has appeared on popular dating shows, active announcer Yuka (Nishizawa Yuka), and model Natsue (Tokumoto Natsue). These three women, successful in both work and personal lives, select one man they’d like to date from a pool of 30 high-earning men with an average annual income exceeding 20 million JPY, based on limited information like income and age rankings. After each date, they face daily decisions: continue deepening the relationship through cohabitation or break off the engagement to choose someone else — all leading up to the wedding in 30 days. The studio MCs are Savannah Takahashi Shigeo, Kanna, Elf Arakawa, and Mori Kasumi. ■ Announcer Nishizawa Shocked by Her Fiancé’s Wild Drinking Habits: 'That’s the Worst Part' In the finale, which marks the end of the 30-day marriage program and the arrival at the fateful wedding, the real struggles and ultimate decisions right before walking down the aisle are portrayed. During a date between announcer Yuka and Kyosuke, a handsome entrepreneur earning 40 million JPY annually, Kyosuke’s close friend Komeo, a chef, joins them. When Yuka asks, 'What’s Kyosuke like when he’s with friends?', Komeo reveals Kyosuke’s shocking drinking habits: 'When he gets drunk, he turns into a super happy guy' and 'At birthday parties, he gets so excited he starts taking off his clothes.' In a solo interview afterward, Yuka expresses her shock: 'That’s the worst part... I’ve had past relationships where my partner went to big birthday parties with strangers and I ended up feeling really uncomfortable.' Just before the wedding, dark clouds gather over what seemed like a steadily deepening bond. What discomfort did Yuka feel from her past relationships? ■ Huang Hao & Kyuui Misato Appear to Support a 34-Year-Old CEO’s Marriage Hunt Meanwhile, during a date between Hiroki, a high-earning entrepreneur with a 30 million JPY income, and Ayaka, a 34-year-old beautiful CEO, three of Ayaka’s friends appear: entrepreneur Huang Hao (a dating show veteran), talent Kyuui Misato, and acupuncturist Fujiwara Nozomi. When asked by her friends, 'What were your first impressions and how have they changed?', Hiroki candidly replies, 'I thought she was the quiet, gentle type at first. Now I feel like she’s totally wild.' Hiroki also expresses distrust toward Ayaka’s behavior of 'testing her partner' and her tendency to 'look at other people when hitting a wall.' In response, Huang Hao empathizes: 'When two people who just met start talking about marriage, they constantly wonder, “Does this person really like me?” Her actions are just her way of seeking reassurance that “you like me.” Once she knows “this person truly likes me,” she won’t need to do that anymore.' Kyuui adds gentle support: 'She’s very serious about work and kind to friends. She’s a really good person,' cheering Ayaka on. ■ Huang Hao Reflects on His Dating Show Experience: 'In the Final Week, Feelings Change Every Day' There’s also a scene where Hiroki, now alone with Huang Hao and another man, opens up about his inner turmoil: 'Honestly, I’m really struggling' and 'I’ve lost trust, and now I don’t even know if I still like her.' In response, Huang Hao reflects on his own dating show experience: 'In the final week, your feelings change every single day. The person you thought was “the one” might suddenly make you think, “Maybe it’s this person instead,” over a small thing.' He adds, 'The last few days bring intense emotional shifts. A miracle might not happen — but it just might,' offering heartfelt advice to the conflicted Hiroki. ■ 27-Year-Old Model Breaks Down Hearing Her Mother’s Words Before the Wedding Additionally, Natsue, a 27-year-old popular model dating entrepreneur Shinpei, makes an online call to her mother on her wedding day, wearing a pure white wedding dress that reveals her décolletage. Seeing her daughter’s beautiful dress, her mother says with deep affection: 'Nacchan, you’ve always held back. You never spoke up much,' and 'You need someone who truly sees you — and you need to truly see them too.' Overwhelmed, Natsue bursts into tears. Empowered by her mother’s words — 'Your happiness and smile are the most important' — Natsue reflects on her own happiness, saying, 'It’d be great if everyone could just be happy and smiling,' and walks toward the altar. In the finale of 'Marriage Clockwork,' the three women, dressed in pure white wedding gowns, face their final decisions after 30 days of marriage hunting. What future did they choose?
