Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes of LOVE RING
DMM TV, operated by the Tokyo-based company DMM.com, recently unveiled exclusive behind-the-scenes shots of the reality show
LOVE RING to celebrate the birthday of its producer and host,
Asakura Mikuru. This special presentation took place on July 15, marking a significant highlight in both the show and Asakura's multifaceted career as a mixed martial artist, YouTuber, and entrepreneur.
A New Stage for Asakura Mikuru
Asakura has taken yet another bold step by entering the realm of reality television, particularly focusing on love. In LOVE RING, contestants face challenges designed to test their toughness and ability to win the affection of women. The show includes features like
Lion Time, where the winning bachelor can enjoy exclusive time with their preferred female, and
Harem Lion Time, allowing multiple interactions overnight. The unique, cutthroat competition format is a groundbreaking fusion of martial arts and romance that only Asakura could envision.
With Asakura personally selecting participants through auditions, the cast includes noteworthy figures such as handsome actor and former boxing national champion
RYUDAI, who has a compelling high school love story reminiscent of a manga;
REN, known for his charm; and
KEISHI, a current egg model with a skilled history of duels over love. Their combined efforts have led to intense rivalries and alliances within the group.
The Addition of New High-Spec Members
The dynamics of competition have been further intensified with the recent entry of two top-tier contestants: popular influencer
KYN and former top host and club manager
SAKITO, who had previously challenged Asakura to showcase authentic romance. These new members have elevated the stakes, creating fierce competition among all the male participants as they strive to win over the hearts of the female contestants.
Among those female contestants is
AYAME, who has found herself inundated with attention from the male contenders. Meanwhile,
OTONO is navigating through the show’s inventive rules, which diverge from traditional reality dating formats. How these interactions evolve, especially with Asakura’s unexpected involvement, adds further intrigue to the unfolding narrative.
Anticipation Builds as LOVE RING Airs Episodes
Currently, episodes 1 through 4 are available for exclusive streaming on DMM TV, with the next installments, episode 5 and the season finale, set to be released on July 17. Fans are encouraged to revisit the initial episodes to fully appreciate the intense competition and romance that take center stage in the upcoming battle.
As summer heats up, the fervent clash of these competitors in the realm of love promises to deliver thrilling entertainment, forging a new chapter in reality television where “love can be conquered by fists.”
