I looked him up on Wikipedia and it states that he's been helping with people through the pandemic by using his own experiences of self-isolation. The fact that he could turn 15 months of torture into something positive for others is amazing.
What a great guy, to have to suffer like that must’ve not only been physically hard but mentally hard as well the fact he can help others really shows the genuine goodness he has!!
It’s fucked up what happened to him, but it’s really good that he used his own experiences to help people during the pandemic. I only hope the best for him in the future
Exactly. It's like that nightmare we all had where you didn't realize you're naked and everyone is laughing at you. And it's broadcast for millions to see. Horrible !!
He was a senior in college and this broadcast forced him to repeat a year, but his professor at the time happened to see it on TV and applied for his leave of absence. Thanks to him, he was able to go back to college and successfully graduate
All of what charlie said was fact (idk, i think). But he only mention the bad side of it which is kinda unfair bc its not the bigger picture of this case. So in 90s a lot of japanese comedian had to participate in these types of game show such as Silent Library(more extreme than the us version), this show, etc in order to be famous. Which they did, they get their fame from that and currently became the senior comedian and get to be a commentarors of current show, if you ever see one they are the people in those little box on the corner of every game show.
@@Filthyllamas please tell me the bigger picture of what this man went through. If you were in his place and people were angry for you, would you say the same thing? But please enlighten me about the bigger picture that clearly we cannot see about a man’s suffering.
@@Filthyllamas so long story short, just endure torture and let a corrupt capitalist company do whatever the fuck they want to you so you can get slightly ahead of where you currently are in this world? Is that the bigger picture?
the ending is very symbolic. it's the ultimate representation of that entire challenge and its affects on nasubi. he's naked, scared, weak, starved, and an audience of millions is laughing at his suffering.
for real. that shot of the confetti cannons and audience cheering at the end while Nasubi sits there naked and confused is probably the most brutally dystopian thing I have ever seen
yeah, many things seemed so creepy, like straight out of a dystopian thriller. When he has canned food but no way to cook it therefore eat it....Theres a book called "i have no mouth and i must scream" where the protagonists get tortured in the same way,
@@won879 He was litteraly stripped before they asked. If you know know anything about social dynamics and manipulaiton youd know nasubi practically didnt have a choice here

Im not saying it's right but the rest of us learned a big lesson and said to our selves maybe we shouldn't do this and as far as I know has not happened to this day
let’s not forget the heaviest thing here, which is that even while in the most f**ked up situation imaginable, with basically no contact with the outside world, and slowly growing insane, he was still trying to make people laugh with every single thing he did
It would be perfectly fine and well if this poor dude had a John Wick moment and took out all the producers and everyone involved.

@@thejadedhonestly I think the camera is the main reason for the strong mentality that keeps him going probably I think if there was no camera or he had no idea where the camera was he probably would be worse off I think the camera and knowing that this is being televised to a bunch of people also gave him a lot of hope
@@reziinicoo That does make sense because it seemed like he was more of a showman. Feel so bad though.. He tried to entetrtain people. That's a good lad.
If I remember correctly, the guy’s been doing a lot of mountain climbing in recent years, even scaling Mount Everest back in 2016. I’m just glad he’d been living his life after these events
Nasubi became gigachad, climbed Everest, opened a theater school, and now does charity at Fukishima regarding that nuclear incident, I very much admire people like him.

@@carsonpolitte7639 bruh. He was literally humiliated LIVE by the producers without him knowing. I bet the producers actually did that cuz it was for the show.😟
The most extraordinary thing about Nasubi's ordeal is that the door to his room was unlocked the whole time. He explained in subsequent interviews that he didn't leave because obligation and endurance are important values in Japanese culture, and because he didn't have any clothes to wear in the outside world.
Yeah, this whole story is bs...so, he didn't have a blanket when he slept? Also, could've fabricated something out of his rice bag. He was in on it from the beginning...*mic drop*
@@nicestrat okay so what can he do with the rice bag. cut a hole how? wear how? stick together how? he didnt have TOOTHPASTE for 3 months, toilet paper for 10. you reckon he's getting a fucken sewing needle and thread to make some rice bag undies?? lmaooo
@@nicestrat I doubt his ordeal was fake he generally looked malnourished also critical hasnt showed the whole livestream there are some clips that cant be shown on this app.
the upbeat effects when he is literally suffering is so sadistic and sinister. this is so black mirror like, its actually insane to me that there wasnt intervention at any point.
That last shot of him sitting on the stage, shocked, naked and terrified surrounded by a giddy audience and being showered with confetti is so incredibly fucked up I can’t imagine how sadistic these producers were.
I don't think eating raw meat is nessesarily bad for your health. It could be but only if it the meat is contaminated, which most meat probably isn't. In a situation like this you're better off eating it. As you see it didn't kill him. I doubt it did him any harm at all. You should still just cook it though, assuming you can. kill all the bacteria and make it more nutritious.
It's so difficult to imagine this was real and happened in the mid90s. If this were a Black Mirror episode, it would be on everyone's "top 10 most disturbing" list.
It's totally not difficult to imagine this I'm sure there are many other cases of remotely viewing people suffering for entertainment since the television frequency was invented and today we look at animals on TV almost the same way people watch this
Oh I can totally imagine that in any country with a employment problems. Where no company doesen't fucking need you without experience even with a good digress in university. And don't even get me started on actors/comedians. We probably woudn't have waiters, cashiers or food delivery ppl if no one wanted to try theirselfs as an actors... and just keep waited for this successful audition
I mean it is extremely similar to that one episode “white bear” or “fifteen million merits” and both those are incredibly fucked up. I wonder if the writers took inspiration from this
if anybody surprised that japanese people would do that, they definitely never heard of hisashi ouchi the nuclear reactor incident victim. the Japanese government kept him alive for 83 days while his body is literally melting from radiation for a resesarch
The fact that Nasubi probably didn't even get a significant percentage of the show's earnings while he was the one being tortured for money is bloodboiling.
Dude this shit is normal in Japan. There’s so many sociopaths there, and there’s lots of entertainment and p0rn that’s not officially released that you can find in stores that is literally snuff. There’s something about pain and death that gives the Japanese a real kick
The fact he survived this is amazing. He's probably one of the strongest people I've seen on the internet for going through this and not going full psychopath
My mind would have snapped about 1 month in I think. But my mental health would deterioate rapidly only about 1 week in. But my mental health already is fucked to begin with and with underlying history of mental health struggles so... There's no way I could even participate in such a "challenge" to begin with. Even the premise sounds awfull, and then it was actually way worse in reality... Fuck! This challenge feels like "kidnap victim simulator" like wtf even is this demented shit. I hear about people being held as sex slave captives for 10-20 years, I would have comitted suicide by any means necessary way before then. Maybe 1-2 months max. Either that or my mind would be so broken that I go full feral and attack my captor by biting his dick off or something and then from that try to kill him while he's too stunned from shock to defend himself. The fact that they first told him to strip the second he got to the apartment would have instantly made me fear for my life, thinking I accidentaly got myself into a sex slave situation. I can't believe he didn't protest to that, or that he remained calm after that.

Crazy how we watched Black Mirror and thought that the show depicted NEAR FUTURE situations but looking at this, this was an absolute epitome of a Black Mirror episode and it’s from a long time ago… insane.
No Everest is not easy because he experienced this which is why he didn’t summit it. People die on Everest regularly. Not sure why anyone would pay thousands of dollars to not actually climb it entirely.
@@MrMongoose221 Omg I thought I was the only one who started doing mean shit to their Sims (I was like "whaaaaat they fall asleep on the floor from sleep deprivation?!/kept giving my sims husbands and causing fires etc for her husband's to die and was like "woah she's grieving & losing her mind") & I ended up feeling so guilty and terrible about it I started apologizing out loud to my Sims & never did it again 😂😂
I was feeling sorry for him at first but when he got the chance to leave he stayed. Man its his choice to be tortured! why should i care about him when he doesnt care for himself
this ending with the walls collapsing and him being on a stage in front of hundreds of people is so dystopian and makes this whole event seem like a black mirror episode
only thing I could think of from the beginning. The way it escalated at the end is insane. I'm still questioning if this was faked somehow because it is so absurd
Yes holy shit I can hardly believe this actually happened. How Nasubi actually committed to doing it and never just said fuck this. I’m also shocked that the people watching just let this happen and no one tried to stop it somehow. And the fact that this went on for 15 months is insane. There’s just so many things about this that I simply can’t fathom.
and funny how he suddenly breezed thru the challenge once he wasn't in japan anymore, maybe cus producers couldn't rig it overseas (apart from the obviously smaller goal)
Was about to say. They definitely controlled what he wins. Or else he would've gotten clothes at some point, or he would've died from starvation in the first month as he did not get food to start with.
@PeteyThePenguin You ain’t wrong but again it’s the laws. They were torturing him covertly whereas a penis is blatant. In the sense that if the show outright said “we’re gonna be torturing the contestant, our TV content is based around watching a man suffer in a solitary manner” then they wouldn’t have been able to do it, but since they done it and labelled it “television entertainment” it was allowed. However a penis on display is blatant and forbidden. Essentially..

@@khatogast6916 RUclipss constantly making the most unnecessary changes to the UI like every few weeks without even notifying anybody, only reason they can keep getting away with it is because they're a monopoly, everyone hates this platform but everyone uses it anyway :(
His real name is Tomoaki Hamatsu and he actually hasn't done that bad for himself. He's a local influencer in his area, eventually created his own acting stage group 'Eggplant Way' that travelled across Japan and he still gets on TV shows to this day. He's also climbed Mount Everest, which is pretty damn impressive. He also announced today (his birthday) that he'll be opening his own RUclips channel... so Charlie making this video on his birthday is also kind of an unintentional promo for his new channel I guess.... even if the majority of us don't speak japanese and will have no clue what he's saying.
That ending where they drop the walls to reveal he's on a stage is just horrifying. Like that is how an actual horror movie would end, and they just treat it like it's a friendly happy occasion. Actually felt sick watching that.
When he won the 10kg bag of rice.... the way he held onto it and started crying absolutely broke me. The people who set this up deserve nothing but the absolute worst lives you could possibly imagine, I really pray they get what they deserve
Unfortunately, the producers lived extravagant lives due to all the money Natsubi had made for them. And they didn't even give him a dime of the money either I bet. This made me lose all faith in humans. I would honestly beat the producers with my own hands and break every bone in their bodies to get payback for Natsubi and I've never met the guy. I can just tell he's a good dude at heart. Also I wanna play Playstation with him 😊
The fact that he seems to be a really nice and kind of innocent guy make it much worse for me. I hope he lives a long and full life. Holy shit what kind of bastard came up with this idea.
If I had to go through a "game" like that I'd honestly just end up ending myself in the first month of the Livestream, I'm amazed that he didn't end up turning to self harm, the way his ribs were that insanely visible is just, ya know, hard to even think about
I was heart broken watching this and later went on a small search and he has a Twitter! It’s actually his birthday today and I see a bunch of people from your video wishing him happy birthday. Nice to see he’s still surviving and getting by
BINGO , that what i was saying! i may be a bit of a keyboard warrior but someone would of died over this . may of been me but shit likew this make a man go after the bloodline ! as they say in mexico 'start pulling roots' them boys dont play
Nasubi is an absolute legend, last I heard of him he successfully climbed Mount Everest. After looking at more recent interviews, this guy just seems so friendly, always thinking of other people over himself. It's horrible what they made him go through.
I actually looked nasubi up and it said online that he wasn't really locked up, he could've left at anytime, and NO ONE TOLD HIM Its a fucked up mind to make a show like this and belittle and laugh at him I hope he's living a good life now
The fact he immediately took off his clothes after moving into the fake apartment was real chilling. I imagine in that moment he believed that this was his life now, it was no longer a game.

I read the Japanese Wikipedia article about him and he actually has had a lot of accomplishments since the show, and is still working as a comedy actor and talent, and created his own theatre company. He also climbed Mount Everest and has acted in many big roles and variety shows, as well as voice acting and radio. He is the epitome of the Japanese spirit of perseverance and said that nothing in his life could be harder than what he had to go through on the show, and he lived so long doing what he did not want to do so now he will do what he wants to. This is not to justify what happened to him, and he opened up about suffering from mental illness after the show and wanting to d*e, but to say that he does not have a successful career/life after the show would be inaccurate and denying all the amazing accomplishments he’s been able to achieve through his own willpower
I just realized. 1998 was the same year the Trueman Show came out. While we were getting a movie parodying the idea of reality TV filming and restricting every second and every aspect of a person's life, these people were literally making that IRL, and the outcome is arguably even more fucked up than the fictional version
One was milked his whole life and question if anything was real for 30 years of his life and the other voluntarily did it and then the reality hit that this was his hell
@@puppetstudio4989 Truman is definitely worse simply because literally all of his reality from birth was faked. He could never trust anyone or anything again, he'd be questioning reality so hard that he'd probably go insane and be untreatable. It's literally so cruel of an experiment that the *less* cruel thing would have been to continue the simulation (but turn off the cameras) for the rest of his life rather than allow him to realize that nothing in his life was real.
At least Truman got to wear clothes, eat real food, and talk with actual people every day! Granted, they were all actors, but it’s better than having your only company be your sleep paralysis demons! This is wrong, on so many levels!
The fact that he's still sane, happy and was able to climb mount Everest, is admirable on so many levels, like if this was me my will would of been shattered 1 or 2 weeks in but he still managed to get out and is doing well, what an amazing human being
@@crapjoe8634 well, him needing to recover was very well justified but him having been able to recover and all the other things he's done is so commendable

there is no way his winnings were not being controlled by the producers they could control the predicaments he was in and it gave an excuse to move him to a new location in case the other was found this is crazy
Ya I agree it was being controlled I feel like for him having to get the plane ticket that was not controlled since he was getting some good stuff ya know
@@MegaFan5 agree, the entire thing seems staged. His winnings were probably product placement deals. If he only used the product once, it's probably because the manufacturer only paid enough to have it featured for one episode.
@@MegaFan5 I just thought of something, now that this story/show is making the rounds on Western social media, I wonder if the pressure from the Karens will force the show to come out and say it was a prank the whole time. Like the Japanese just accepted it for what it was - a silly comedy man-trapped-inside-of-a-room show, and moved on with their lives. Now the pitchforks are going to start coming out, "Who was the man behind all this!!! Why is he not in Prison! How can the Japanese Government Fail to take action on this tragedy occurring on their own soil!?!?"
The difference between a hero and a villain...a villain says "the world hurt me, I'm gonna hurt it back," a hero says "the world hurt me, I'm not gonna let this happen to anyone else."
When he took off his blindfold in Korea and he found himself in that small room and the producer told him to strip, it gave me chills, like it was the end of one of those psychological horror movies.

I'm amazed too, throughout all of that Nasubi kept smiling and was even ecstatic over his own successes within that hell. It's good to know that he's doing a lot better nowadays after looking up some information. Not a critical level of success, but success no less. Nasubi is truly a man with an iron will and spirit, keep smiling wherever you are. To a living legend, Nasubi!
@@dswp4882 he didn't continue out of a contractual obligation. He did it out of societal pressure, corporate pressure, and legal pressure. You can't exactly get up an leave if you're wearing nothing but a pair of used panties you "got from sweepstakes". Not to mention devotion, determination, and perseverance are all respected characteristics in Japanese culture so quitting would have him looked down upon by society. Then there's the fact he was lied to the entire time by the producers, and while it may be easy to see those lies now they may have seemed much more enticing to him at the time, and those producers would've kept trying everything to keep him on as long as possible as shown when they kept raising the stakes at the end without telling him just to stretch their time airing this shit. Also they probably didn't have any sort of on site injury waiver or anything like that especially when they knew the very nature is this challenge could kill him, and unlike in America they likely weren't required at the time, and still probably aren't with the crazy shit they making into shows sometimes.
@@carpo719 But it was live broadcasted? You believe they would they fake this for that long in the nude with barely anything to survive on? He was obviously in the apartment and people found him. He is seen winning the ticket. Would be pretty hard to fake. 355+ days in isolation don't y you think? He is seen physically deteriorating, his hair, his nail growth, his comments about anxiety. He's again in the nude. 24/7 live broadcast, moved to 3 different locations. How could this have "most likely" been faked? This was a live broadcast//stream so either way wouldn't they have always constantly been suffering? Why do you doubt this?
It's impossible not to feel bad for this guy. He literally survived for more than a year without any contact to the outside world. It baffles me how this was allowed to happen
I am 110% convinced that the Producers were intercepting the prizes, ensuring that Nasubi only received certain items. Possibly even distributing the prizes he DID win at specific times. 15 months, thousands of sweepstakes entered, and he never won a single T-Shirt? I call BS. This poor guy was purposely degraded, tormented, and humiliated for a global audience...
Also the delivery man coming to the door with ramen, only to say they had the wrong address was 100% produced interference. It’s just too cruel to have just randomly happened. Not a doubt in my mind they sent that delivery man there just to fuck with him.
I mean with how hard it is to win those sweepstakes I feel like they would have had to make up and pretend he won constantly for there to even be a chance he survives, what are the odds he actually got so many wins even with so many entires
It’s also weird that they made a whole team of people to cover his “eggplant”. Why would they hire a whole team for that is they could just give him atleast a apron
it's crazy the mental strength nasubi had, he was literally stripped and left there. i watched the full series several years ago, and felt pretty nostalgic about it. looking at what happened unbiased, it's pretty messed up how they threw this random kid into an apartment for a year, with nothing but the absolute essentials, and told him to live off magazines and make 10k, when they probably made 10k every minute from the viewings.
@@deathsdollar2606 I feel like the bastards knew they needed the electricity and water to keep the show running. People can go a while without food but the whole thing is just unsettling I'm still watching the rest of the video to get the whole situation but just hearing he had to win food on top of get a huge sum of money to end the game is awful
He seems like a great friend to have. Probably would make the whole friend group laugh before he was put into this torture. Probably would help an old lady cross the street. Probably would return a lost cat to it's owner, You know?
The end was only missing a slow muffle of the laughs and chears and an incrisingly louder high pitch beep as well as an incrisingly more panoramic shot of nasubi's face of horror as he realises he was the joke of the room all along
The contract he must’ve signed for this had to have been crazy as fuck. The fact they change the rules of the game at any time and just prolong this is crazy.

He was a Sr in college who wanted to be a professional comedian and this show was one of the fastest ways to become one in Japan at the time, it was like being asked if you want to be an IRL Streamer with instantly 10 million followers, but these are the conditions, and he took it and made the best of it, and ultimately won.
I am a 59 year old black man. I have done over 10 years in Georgia prison system. I have been through a lot. But this brought me to tears. This is terrible. And whoever should pay with the worst torture known .😢
I read an interview with him online and it's heartbreaking. "Everything was harsh and every day was like hell back then. It was like the current “lockdown”, but all by myself, and there was a pressure that I wasn’t allowed to go outside. I couldn’t get food and clothes until winning ones from sweepstakes. I even had to eat only dog food I had gotten from a prize contest for a while. No bedding was provided either, so I used a zabuton cushion as a pillow, folding it in half. But the hardest thing was not being able to see and talk with anyone. My mental condition was at its worse. I was like, “Why only me? Why do I have to do all these things? I’d rather die than feel like this. Every day, I just did the same thing: writing hundreds of postcards, which got me down more mentally rather than physically. Although I seemed looked like I was having fun most of the time on the edited show, to me, it was full of pain."

@@RC-oj7br While not 100% comparable, I own several things that were with me through some awful trauma. I treasure them. They aren't a reminder of what I experienced - they are the only positive thing that I had in my life at the time. I associate nothing with them other than joy and love. I have a strong sentimental connection with them because I relied on them so heavily through some difficult times. While it might come down to personal preference in the end, I'm very sure that most people would choose to keep the stuffed animal if they went through a situation like this. It becomes vital to you.
The fact they chose to staff an entire team to keeping his junk censored while live instead of just giving him a single pair of boxer shorts is incredibly diabolical. They WANTED to keep this man in shame and I absolutely agree with Charlie's conspiracy that they were intentionally keeping clothing from entering the room. The whole draw of the show was he was naked in a room losing his mind.

One of the worst things about it, is that they made it seem all Cartoon-ish with text and voice actors over-exaggerating every little thing that happened to Nasubi just to keep the audience entertained. But the fact he was somehow able to stay optimistic and not give up throughout all of the pain, suffering, and overall torture of deprivation is insane, like how he was still mostly updating people about how his life was going. He is an absolute legend for that. But yeah, this entire series was fucked-up in every single way possible and I’m glad it ended.
he went and climbed mount everest because he felt something was missing without a challenge in his life. that’s how much this challenged permanently changed him
TBH, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Many of the most successful people in life are that way because they suffered some form of trauma that fundamentally changed them, and they channeled it into something positive.

Currently helping other vets and amputees meet the challenges in their lives. Never would've happened if I never went through the trauma I suffered.
@@hoozartz6740 I don’t think they’re necessarily saying it’s inherently bad that he’s finding challenges in his life, but rather pointing out how much of a psychological hold this continues to have on his life. It put him into this constant state of needing to work and achieve something, as if his life depends on it, because it was that way for so long.
I went to elementary school in Japan and I remember my teacher scheduling a two block class just talking about the atrocities of Japanese TV and how we needed to be aware of how the producers manipulate clips for content. She specifically showed us a clip where producers stalked Degawa on one of his off days and spiked his restaurant sushi meal with a shitton of wasabi. We were all laughing until my teacher paused the video and asked if watching Degawa desperately trying to suppress his pain and confusion at the unexpectedly spicy sushi was actually worth laughing over. Really put it into perspective how fucked the tv industry can be as a whole. This whole thing reminded me of that Degawa clip as well as many other Japanese TV shows I grew up on. Bless that teacher for trying to teach us critical thinking skills from a young age. Edit: Yeah i didn't clarify well but basically the cameras stalked Degawa on his day off and intercepted his meal at a restaurant he was eating at, sorry if that wasn't clear
I think a lot of people are just un-empathetic towards something happening to others, with the mindset of "oh atleast it's not happening with me" Reminds me an episode of a show by Darren Brown i watched as a kid where a random guy was chosen without his consent and he had no idea he was part of a tv show and the audience has the option of choosing something good or bad to be done to the guy and audience just keep choosing bad shit to happen to that guy. I think there might be a video on RUclips about this
@@bibhuchhetri5421 Daryl Talks Games discusses that episode when he made a video on the Fourth Wall. It's pretty good and I'd reccomend it if you haven't seen it.
the worst part about this. The show didn't end there. They had more runs with more sadistic torture, they had a two people go from South Africa to Norway. They abandoned two people on an island told them to make a raft to Tokyo. Then took the two men to India to make a paddle boat to Indonesia. This show is seriously f-ed up.
@@J8den thats really different though, you understand your position and you also have to win games, even if its hinted at being a set up, this real 'game' is definitely set up where this poor man has no idea about anything, i see that it may be considered a timely thing and that its about money in the end however its incredibly different to tortures where people have no idea about their position nor will all know stuff such as how to build a raft or directions to norway

@@mingyuhuang8944 Usually torture involves being held captive against your will. He wanted to make it as a comedian so bad he was willing to go through with the challenges, that were in fact horrible. But he could've left
The fact he won dog food multiple times makes absolutely no sense. Definitely foul play, a tv with no antenna, a bike indoors, rice without a cooking source, literal torture
Yeah, also things like winning a playstation game but no playstation, TV that he can't watch anything on, food he can't cook and only a pair of used.... panties. TV producers tend to be scum for anything somewhat related to reality tv.
out of respect to him, i dont think we should be calling him Nasubi, a cruel name the producers made up to make fun of him and utterly dehumanize him. i honestly think we should just call him by his actual name. Edit: a few of the replies have informed me that he actually embraced the name (good for him!), calling his stage troupe "Eggplant Way", so he probably doesn't the mind the name. I just commented hoping he wasn't being insulted/ being identified by a bad name by people like Charlie by accident.

The final scene of him being in front of an audience with him being scared and bewildered is straight out of dystopian film with a very cruel ending.

Exactly. It's like that nightmare we all had where you didn't realize you're naked and everyone is laughing at you. And it's broadcast for millions to see. Horrible !!
China gots your typical 1984 dystopia, but Japan has your Running Man type of dystopia.
it reminded me of a black mirror episode
He was a senior in college and this broadcast forced him to repeat a year, but his professor at the time happened to see it on TV and applied for his leave of absence. Thanks to him, he was able to go back to college and successfully graduate
All of what charlie said was fact (idk, i think). But he only mention the bad side of it which is kinda unfair bc its not the bigger picture of this case. So in 90s a lot of japanese comedian had to participate in these types of game show such as Silent Library(more extreme than the us version), this show, etc in order to be famous. Which they did, they get their fame from that and currently became the senior comedian and get to be a commentarors of current show, if you ever see one they are the people in those little box on the corner of every game show.

He also climbed Mount Everest and has acted in many big roles and variety shows, as well as voice acting and radio. He is the epitome of the Japanese spirit of perseverance and said that nothing in his life could be harder than what he had to go through on the show, and he lived so long doing what he did not want to do so now he will do what he wants to. This is not to justify what happened to him, and he opened up about suffering from mental illness after the show and wanting to d*e, but to say that he does not have a successful career/life after the show would be inaccurate and denying all the amazing accomplishments he’s been able to achieve through his own willpower

While we were getting a movie parodying the idea of reality TV filming and restricting every second and every aspect of a person's life, these people were literally making that IRL, and the outcome is arguably even more fucked up than the fictional version
One was milked his whole life and question if anything was real for 30 years of his life and the other voluntarily did it and then the reality hit that this was his hell

Also suspicious that the prize that put him over the million yen threshold was a bag of rice

"Everything was harsh and every day was like hell back then. It was like the current “lockdown”, but all by myself, and there was a pressure that I wasn’t allowed to go outside. I couldn’t get food and clothes until winning ones from sweepstakes. I even had to eat only dog food I had gotten from a prize contest for a while. No bedding was provided either, so I used a zabuton cushion as a pillow, folding it in half.
But the hardest thing was not being able to see and talk with anyone. My mental condition was at its worse. I was like, “Why only me? Why do I have to do all these things? I’d rather die than feel like this.
Every day, I just did the same thing: writing hundreds of postcards, which got me down more mentally rather than physically. Although I seemed looked like I was having fun most of the time on the edited show, to me, it was full of pain."

They abandoned two people on an island told them to make a raft to Tokyo. Then took the two men to India to make a paddle boat to Indonesia. This show is seriously f-ed up.
So basically Squid Game
@@J8den How
@@J8den thats really different though, you understand your position and you also have to win games, even if its hinted at being a set up, this real 'game' is definitely set up where this poor man has no idea about anything, i see that it may be considered a timely thing and that its about money in the end however its incredibly different to tortures where people have no idea about their position nor will all know stuff such as how to build a raft or directions to norway
holy, India to Indonesia ? That basically means crossing an entire ocean on a paddle ??
Where is link to this info? I need to see this
He's a gentle soul.
He didn't lash out on the producers once
Because he chose to stay there after he completed the first challenge
@@space4617 Yeah he could've left at any time, this title is kinda misleading cmon
@@FailClips20Probably Stockholm Syndrome or something
@@FailClips20It would be perfectly fine and well if this poor dude had a John Wick moment and took out all the producers and everyone involved. The fact that they not only tortured this sweet, fun and genuinely wholesome bright dude but also broadcasted as "entertainment" and ALSO people watched him get tortured to laugh at him whilst he was butt naked and essentially becoming a playtoy for the whole country. It's dehumanizing and how the hell everyone involved is not sent to the jails is very very bizarre.
Hope this dude gets only Ws in the future ❤😢😢😢
@@mingyuhuang8944 Usually torture involves being held captive against your will. He wanted to make it as a comedian so bad he was willing to go through with the challenges, that were in fact horrible. But he could've left
This is some actual Danganronpa type shit, I just can't fathom something so foul being allowed to go on for so long.
The fact he won dog food multiple times makes absolutely no sense. Definitely foul play, a tv with no antenna, a bike indoors, rice without a cooking source, literal torture
I’m better than penguinz0 Lmao
@@I_quit_trolling_now ratio
Yeah, also things like winning a playstation game but no playstation, TV that he can't watch anything on, food he can't cook and only a pair of used.... panties. TV producers tend to be scum for anything somewhat related to reality tv.

out of respect to him, i dont think we should be calling him Nasubi, a cruel name the producers made up to make fun of him and utterly dehumanize him. i honestly think we should just call him by his actual name.
Edit: a few of the replies have informed me that he actually embraced the name (good for him!), calling his stage troupe "Eggplant Way", so he probably doesn't the mind the name. I just commented hoping he wasn't being insulted/ being identified by a bad name by people like Charlie by accident.
Definitely
@Kavetion no. No your not
@@nicks2601 why are you replying to a bot?
@@Ronam0451 That’s not a bot🗿it’s just a weirdo that’s living under his moms basement.
Which is......
The show's producers should be charged with crimes against humanity.
technically crimes against humanity has to be against a population not a person
Stop crying. He could have quit at any time and chose to stay there of his own autonomy
@@sneeds true
@@sneeds that doesn’t excuse the producers actions he agreed to it which is his fault but they wanted to see him suffer for laughs and money because of that we are allowed to talk shit about the producers because they humiliated him and tortured him that man came out a whole different person in a bad way and the fame they promised him was a lie.
@@sneeds the fuck are you talking about, the "reward" for that suffering was a big chance compared to his already shitty living. Dude was already desperate beforehand, and they just fucked him over.
Charlie did a better job at giving Nasubi fame than the show
Ok wait, so this man was tortured psychologically for entertainment AND money. Yet he managed to pull through without losing his mind, what a legend.
Those producers were evil.
Most people won't lose their mind from this. Sure when it's going on but they'll recover the hole in prison is literally just a room with nothing pure isolation for months at a time I know somebody who was in it for 11 months straight. And they say they check on you every 2 weeks for your mental health well they don't do that.
@@cigareteking1882
???? what are u trying to say with this
@@bbvvghh455 I'm saying that you're not losing his mom, don't really make him a legend like yeah he's a legend that's crazy what he went through andt sucks but thousands of people go through that every week a hole and it's way worse they have really nothing in there for months and months sometimes even a year and you're not supposed to be but you are and they don't check up on you like he had checking's and stuff theyll literally try to make it worse
@@cigareteking1882
...??? people go through the same thing and worse every day but that does not mean what he went through was better by any means..? even though it could be worse it still sucks and he's strong for getting through that. it's not a competition lol they're just sympathizing because what he experienced was awful
@@bbvvghh455 is and I feel so bad for him and he is a legend and he is strong but the guy worded it like everyone has been 80% chance of losing their mind from that which just isn't true not trying to take away any credit from him I'm just saying the human mind is powerful
