Hi, I’m NASUBI. In the late 90s I lived inside a small room for 15 months, naked, starving and alone, surviving solely off of magazine contest prize winnings … all while my life was broadcast to over 15 million viewers a week without my consent. Ask Me Anything.

Hi there everybody!

You could be aware of my story, which has been shared through the years on Reddit. In 1998 in Japan, I received an audition to participate in a problem. I used to be led right into a room, ordered to strip bare, and left with a stack of magazines and postcards. My job was to enter contests as a way to win meals, clothes and prizes to outlive, till I reached the prize aim of 1 million yen. This lasted 15 months, all whereas 15 million individuals watched me – with out my consent.

Hulu shall be releasing a documentary on my life known as "The Contestant," premiering on Might 2. You may watch the trailer HERE.

I'm trying ahead to answering your questions on Wednesday 4/24 beginning at 12:30 pm PT/3:30 pm ET. Thanks!

Nasubi
