LOVE RING: A New Era of Dating Reality Shows
In an unprecedented move, DMM TV, operated by DMM.com, has announced the exclusive streaming of
LOVE RING, the latest creation from mixed martial artist and entrepreneur
Asakura Miku. Set to launch on
June 26, this show uniquely blends elements of combat sports with the intensity of competitive dating, bringing a whole new flavor to the genre of reality television.
An Innovative Format
As the theme states, 'Fight for the girl you love!', LOVE RING introduces a mesmerizing twist to the traditional dating format.

As participants compete in various physical challenges—such as sparring, arm wrestling, and beach flag races—fascinating scenarios unfold when they vie for the attention of their lovable female co-stars. The ultimate goal? To secure uninterrupted time with the woman of their dreams during 'Lion Time', moments when they can shine and showcase their physical prowess. In a refreshing twist, the outcome of these challenges is judged by the women involved, with a voting system in place that can lead to eliminations based on their preferences.
