Naohiro Hayashi, known for his role in the viral YouTube series, has launched an unprecedented reality企画 titled “Select Friend Audition.” What began as a casual audition has now dramatically evolved into a “5 vs 5 Relationship Challenge”. With 10 million yen at stake, this competition is a mix of human drama, mind games, and high-stakes interaction. Here’s a full report on the shocking development.

Meet the 5 Male Participants
- Hikaru: A charismatic YouTuber with over 4.9 million subscribers. Known for his sharp wit and presence.
- Naohiro Hayashi: The host and creator of the企画. Originally the main decision-maker, now part of the competition himself.
- Protán: Fitness YouTuber, appreciated for his sincerity and likability.
- Soma Transistor: Excellent conversationalist with a talent for psychological tactics.
- Ryusei Kuwata: A former host turned entrepreneur. Offers a calm and persuasive presence.
Meet the 5 Female Participants
- Mitsuki: No.1 hostess in Nagoya. Top-tier in looks, communication, and sales.
- Seina: A successful snack bar owner from Kumamoto, now aiming for bigger goals in Tokyo.
- Asahi: A model-like figure with charming conversations from Chiba. Balanced and friendly.
- Noto: A highly educated YouTuber with a degree from a top national university’s medical program.
- Jagariko: Three-time top-selling hostess in Nagoya. Known for her charm and sales skills.
From Audition to “5 vs 5 Relationship Challenge”
The企画 was originally about Hayashi selecting 3 women to join him on a trip and ultimately choosing one. However, partway through, the format shifted dramatically into a team-based interaction challenge.
Hikaru’s Spontaneous Suggestion Changes the Game
When 1-on-1 conversations weren’t engaging as expected, Hikaru proposed a bold new idea on the spot — a 5 vs 5 competition. Each of the 5 men would interact with all 5 women. If any man receives a vote from a woman, he wins ¥1,000,000.
Will Hayashi’s 10 Million Yen Be Taken?
If a woman chosen by Hayashi votes for another man, his chance to give away the 10 million yen prize vanishes. Now, Hayashi is no longer the one choosing, but potentially the one being passed over — a major shift in power.
Women Agree: The 5 vs 5 Format Is More Fair
Participants agreed unanimously that interacting with all men equally allowed them to better present themselves. The企画 officially transitioned into a 5 vs 5 relationship challenge.
Mind Games and ¥1,000,000 Offers
The men began pitching themselves through promises of content exposure and rewards, trying to win votes. Tension rose as negotiations and persuasion became core strategies.
Could Hayashi Be Left With Zero Votes?
Despite offering the prize, there’s a risk that none of the women will choose Hayashi. This could result in a total loss — dramatic and unexpected for the企画’s original host.
The Final Decision
Hayashi will choose one final pick. Then, each woman announces who she chooses. If there’s a mutual match, the pair wins 10 million yen. If not — no prize is awarded.
What’s Next? “Busty 5 vs 5”企画 May Be Coming
A new企画 featuring Ryusei Kuwata is also in the works. This time, he will select 5 women based on his preferences and lead a new version of the 5 vs 5 challenge, potentially with different prize rules and perspectives. Stay tuned for updates!
