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

This show also did other challenges, forcing people to hike long distances, build a raft to get to land, starving people if their baseball team doesn't win, etc... Its sick as hell
Apparently one of the other participants was assaulted at a gay bar in a foreign country while participating in some campaign for the show and none of the producers stepped in to help him
What terrified me was the music, and the commentary in the background. It was a similar tone of voice and similar music to one of my fave japanese shows ever, Old Enough- which is literally about toddlers going on cute little errands. They weren't treating this like a tragedy- they saw it as COMIC.
The music and the announcer are extremely unsettling. You'd imagine it was meant to make the viewers feel uncomfortable, having such a contrast between the cheery voices and the miserable scene on the screen, but I think it was actually meant to be amusing and humorous. They really didn't see anything wrong with mocking the suffering of the "contestant"
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.

@@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.😟
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
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
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
Just coming in here to say that there is a documentary on this on Hulu called "The Contestant". I can't believe that they made one about this guy and put it in Hulu.
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.
@@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.
I don't think I've EVER been so speechless in my fucking life. The fact this could happen to a Real person, let alone for the Entertainment Of Others, is genuinely mind-boggling. And, with so few, if ANY, consequences too?? Holy shit.
Glad to hear that a documentary is coming out soon about this…. More people need to hear this story and those responsible need to be thrown in the spotlight for the sick thing they have done to this man
19:46 the cut from him being ecstatic to win more rice to sobbing uncontrollably while holding the bag is... Probably one of the saddest things I've seen.
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 TH-cam 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.
@@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
as a child in the special ed program of a not-so-great elementary school, i was periodically locked in padded rooms for sometimes up to 2-3 hours. that fucked me up for life. even having that experience (which is admittedly not really similar), i cannot IMAGINE what being locked away from society for over a year would do to someone, much less being mocked on TV and starved in addition to that. holy shit
@@PrettyVulgar92 it was a public school. from what i remember of my state’s laws (it’s been a while since i looked at these laws & a while since elementary), they can indeed legally do that as long as they notify the principal after 30 minutes & the principal gives the go ahead 🙃 the rooms technically don’t ‘lock’ tho, but they do have someone on the other side holding the door at all times so… essentially they do lock, just not with a locking mechanism that comes with the door.
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.
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,
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.
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
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 !!
I think the feigned moral indignation in the comment section is more fucked up. You guys are literally crying about someone who voluntarily chose to participate in a Japanese game show that he could leave at any moment. Kids these days love to find things to cry over.
Just in case it wasn’t clear already, Densha De Go! Is a train conductor simulator game. Nasubi was so deprived of entertainment that he played a train simulator for 4 days straight. Such a strong will on his end.
Who else here after the Hulu special? I saw this first a year ago so I was hype for the Hulu doc. Hamatsu (Nasubi) seems to be doing very well these days.
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
The most sadistic thing is all the bright commentary and sound effects that are layered over this man’s suffering as it’s being broadcast to the world. If this isn’t a human rights violation, I don’t know what is
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.
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. 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 ❤❤❤
@@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
@@rezinicodragon 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.
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*

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
a couple of months ago i watched this story on some other channel, and the creator said, that tomoaki hamatsu actually didn't agree to be a part of that 'experiment' in korea. in fact it had something to do with the contract, and it that was also the reason why he couldn't leave before. i can be pretty much wrong, but that's what i heard, so im assuming it makes sense
@@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.
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.
@@rebeccacummings6697 Psychopaths don't exist. It's a made up mental illness that no human has ever been legitimately diagnosed with. That's why the term ASPD has replaced it in the DSM-V

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.
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.

@@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?
this story makes me unbelievably sad, and makes me respect this man so much. because of the hulu documentary that came out recently about this, he did this interview for time magazine about how he felt. he felt like he couldn’t leave the room when they transferred him to korea, because his mental health was so deteriorated that he felt that he couldn’t give up. the producer said that tomoaki was so incredibly angry about this that he saw “anger coming out of every pore in his skin.” he said throughout the time he wanted to die and was losing hair along with weight. i’m glad that the documentary is well received, and tomoaki (nasubi) said that he was happy that his documentary helped people that struggle with loneliness and isolation. absolute legend of a man
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."
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
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.
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.

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 announced today (his birthday) that he'll be opening his own TH-cam 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.

The real life saw trap, but it's only mental emotional pain
as a child in the special ed program of a not-so-great elementary school, i was periodically locked in padded rooms for sometimes up to 2-3 hours. that fucked me up for life.
even having that experience (which is admittedly not really similar), i cannot IMAGINE what being locked away from society for over a year would do to someone, much less being mocked on TV and starved in addition to that. holy shit

@@PrettyVulgar92 it was a public school.
from what i remember of my state’s laws (it’s been a while since i looked at these laws & a while since elementary), they can indeed legally do that as long as they notify the principal after 30 minutes & the principal gives the go ahead 🙃
the rooms technically don’t ‘lock’ tho, but they do have someone on the other side holding the door at all times so… essentially they do lock, just not with a locking mechanism that comes with the door.

Straight up white bear but less crime
Seeing the horrified look on his face when the walls collapse actually made me burst into tears
this is truly one of the most horrific things I've ever seen.
I don't believe the "prizes" he won were randomized. Somebody must have carefully planned what he would receive for the sake of entertainment.
Totally! After showing his extremely long nails on the show, he won nail polish. What kind of sweepstake gives away nail polish?!
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.
@@mr.ligertiger your freaking out about nail polish? how about FUCKIN TOOTHPASTE? 100% convinced lol
planned out mind game ):
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 suspicious that the prize that put him over the million yen threshold was a bag of rice
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.
@@zaccwiggins japans pretty fucked
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
2:55 i love how the background completely changes at this point
Just watched a documentary about this on Hulu, the guy is an actual super hero, and will definitely have statues built in his honor, if not already.
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.
Brave New World, literally
Black Mirror episode basically.
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
Even with consent, this is still fucked up. The way the producers treated him is fucked.
The downtrodden's consent is often being taken advantage of cuz that's pretty much the only thing they can offer
I think the feigned moral indignation in the comment section is more fucked up.
You guys are literally crying about someone who voluntarily chose to participate in a Japanese game show that he could leave at any moment.

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.

I've seen many videos after yours about the same topic, I was wanting to come back and watch it again, so I had to go through a bunch of filters to find the OG with the most views. I'm glad I found it I guess I'll just have to subscribe now to get my fix every once in awhile lol Great content as always I love this one so much I had to come back to it.
This was so disturbing. I hope he's doing alright today. I suddenly feel more fortunate to be a citizen of the United States.
from what i understand he’s doing great. he’s helped people through the pandemic due to his experience of isolation, actively works with charities, and got really big into climbing and i believe climbed mount everest. dudes an animal
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.
It reminded me of those dreams where you realize you are naked iFront of EVERYONE.
The whole thing is just disgusting. Apparently he said yes to this but I can't imagine why.
i agree
My jaw literally dropped for 5 minutes straight seeing this shit
@@gendernotfound1994 due to masterful manipulation by the producers, makes you think about the situation we normal working class people are in.
I agree with Charlie there's no way in 15 months he didn't win clothes the producers definitely had something to do with it.
Ikr the idea that for 15 LONG ASS MONTHS he didn't even win any clothes thats such bullshit
I doubt he even really entered sweepstakes. The whole thing is fake most likely.
@@carpo719 if it was then good
@@carpo719 If it was livestreamed then that means the torture he went through was definitely not fake.
@@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?
Watched 3 vids so far, you defo have the charm and gift of a great streamer
Tbh this sounds like dark web version of Truman Show
this story makes me unbelievably sad, and makes me respect this man so much. because of the hulu documentary that came out recently about this, he did this interview for time magazine about how he felt. he felt like he couldn’t leave the room when they transferred him to korea, because his mental health was so deteriorated that he felt that he couldn’t give up. the producer said that tomoaki was so incredibly angry about this that he saw “anger coming out of every pore in his skin.” he said throughout the time he wanted to die and was losing hair along with weight. i’m glad that the documentary is well received, and tomoaki (nasubi) said that he was happy that his documentary helped people that struggle with loneliness and isolation. absolute legend of a man
Hearing about him using his experience to aid people during the pandemic gives off “humanity failed me but I won’t let it fail anyone else” vibes
Don't use the word "vibes" when discussing such a true hero.
@Basketbomber Slackingson where is the quote from?
this made me cry, thank you 🫡
@@AD25076 I dunno, just popped up in my head akin to “with each story comes another.”
Unfortunately, that last one is pretty bad.
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."
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 happens to this just have to go to the live section of tik tok or twitch
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
I would do this for money
The late 90's early 2000's internet was a wild place. Mr. hands, pain olympics, eel girl, live leak, the list goes on and on.
Its so wild to see what he does to keep himself going. Its weirdly inspiring
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
Literally Black Mirror
YEP
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
White bear
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.
My soul felt crushed when they trapped him in Korea. The look of defeat in his face. He couldn’t just have something nice
That was the perfect twist for a horror movie.
I'm not done with the video yet but how was this legal ??? This is truly horrifying, i feel so bad for him
@@ouarhichem1864 he agreed to it
@@Cesly-mo3uf tho this wasn't any movie, that's sadly as real as this world gets. And it's horribly sickening
@@SMthegamer1 He agreed to a set goal, and they kept pushing it.
