Hayashi Naohiro, known for “The Tiger of Reiwa,” launches an unprecedented YouTube企画: the “Select Friend (Se-Fu-Re) Audition.”
But the project took an unexpected turn, evolving into a dramatic new development called “NTR 5 vs 5”.
A fierce 10-person battle for 10 million yen is underway—here’s the full report!
Meet the 5 Male Participants
- Hikaru: A charismatic YouTuber with over 4.9 million subscribers. Known for shifting the atmosphere with sharp commentary.
- Naohiro Hayashi: The main figure behind this project, often targeted in the “NTR” scenario.
- Protean (Purotan): Fitness YouTuber known for his sincerity and kindness.
- Soma Transistor: Skilled at reading people, with great conversational and psychological tactics.
- Ryusei Kuwata: Former host and businessman, brings calm leadership and persuasion.
Profiles of the 5 Female Contestants

- Seina: A successful snack bar owner from Kumamoto, now aiming higher in Tokyo.
- Asahi: A model-tier beauty with a charming local touch from Chiba.
- Noto: A former medical student from a top national university, now a calm and intellectual YouTuber.

From Audition to “NTR 5 vs 5”!?
The original plan was for Hayashi to choose 3 women to go on a trip and select one as the final winner.
But the format took a dramatic turn midway.
The result is the newly announced format: “NTR 5 vs 5”.
Low Engagement Sparks a New Idea by Hikaru
One-on-one conversations between Hayashi and the female participants didn’t gain much traction.
Seeing this, Hikaru stepped in with an improvised solution.
That solution? A direct 5 vs 5 battle between women and men.
Now the remaining 4 male participants (Hikaru, Protean, Soma, Kuwata) also joined, and if a man is chosen by even 1 woman, he wins 1 million yen.
Who Will the Women Choose? Hayashi May Lose His 10M Yen
The rule is simple: If a woman chosen by Hayashi selects another man, his 10 million yen vanishes.
Meaning Hayashi shifts from “the chooser” to “the one being taken from”.
This is the exact “NTR (Netorare) structure”, mixing love, psychology, and money into a heated game.
All Female Contestants Agree to the 5 vs 5 Format
Most women felt that 5 vs 5 gave them better chances to showcase their appeal.
The result? Unanimous approval for the new setup.
1 Million Yen on the Line—Let the Mind Games Begin
The men, driven by the chance to win 1 million yen, began pitching deals and perks to win over the women.
Meanwhile, women saw an opportunity for exposure and promotion.
Some men even considered offering rewards directly to secure just one vote.
What If No One Chooses Hayashi?
After Hayashi selects his 5 finalists, each woman chooses one man.
If none choose Hayashi, even with 10 million yen on the table, he leaves with nothing.
For YouTube, “Hayashi loses completely” would be a jaw-dropping twist.
This game is as tense and real as reality TV gets.
Will Hayashi Win or Be Betrayed?
At the end, if Hayashi and a woman mutually select each other, he wins the full 10 million yen. If not, he loses it all.
This brutally honest game of love and money has captured widespread attention online.
Stay Tuned—What’s Next in the NTR 5 vs 5 Series?
Who will Hayashi ultimately pick, and who will choose him in return?
Will his 10 million yen be protected or stolen? We’ll be watching closely.
This might be the most thrilling and emotionally intense chapter yet in the project. Don’t miss the updates!
Next Up: Ryusei Kuwata’s “Busty 5 vs 5” Battle?
Following the current NTR format, Ryusei Kuwata is reportedly working on a “Busty 5 vs 5” edition.
This time, he’ll select 5 women with attractive figures, and host a brand-new competition for cash and chemistry.
How will they be selected, and what dynamics will emerge? This will definitely bring a new perspective to the series.
Please stay tuned for updates on auditions and future release dates.
