I took on my colleague’s debt of 100 million yen. I agreed to gradually repay it by appearing on a late-night TV show planned by the creditor.

For the male swimsuit challenge, you earn 100,000 yen per minute. It only counts while you’re being watched by the opposite sex. However, if someone touches you or if it’s discovered that you’re actually a woman, the filming is immediately interrupted. At that point, the challenge is considered a failure. After the filming is interrupted, an interview is conducted with the man who had made a move on her. But the challenge is allowed to continue as a special exception if the person being interviewed says something along the lines of, ‘I thought it was a woman, but it was a man after all’.

In the program, the method of persuasion does not matter, and while the cameras are stopped, the program staff won’t get involved at all.
