Tsuchiya led Nasubi into a room, ordered him to strip naked and left him with a stack of magazines. Nasubi&#8217;s task was to fill out contest coupons in order to win what he needed to survive &#8211; food, clothing, appliances, etc. &#8211; until he reached the prize goal of one million yen.<\/p>\n<p>Although Nasubi could have left at any time, he stayed for months with a fierce determination to complete his mission. He was cut off from all contact with his family and the world except for occasional interactions with Tsuchiya.<\/p>\n<p>What Nasubi didn&#8217;t realize was that his experiences were being broadcast to over 15 million people in a TV show called &#8220;<em>Denpa Shonen: A Life in Prizes<\/em>.&#8221; Without his knowledge or consent, Nasubi became the most famous television personality in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>While parts of Nasubi&#8217;s infamy have been recounted before on YouTube and &#8220;<em>This American Life<\/em>,&#8221; director Clair Titley and producer Megumi Inman bring a revelatory depth of insight by interviewing Nasubi, Tsuchiya, and others close to them.
