ABEMA, the 'new future television,' streamed the special program 'Zencho Hawaiianz: Gourmet, Scenery & Triathlon' on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at 9:00 PM.
The program featured Koki from Ogiyahagi—renowned as the entertainment world’s top Hawaii expert, having once lived there as a tour conductor—handpicking the latest trending spots in Hawaii for a mind-body detox. Koki, Hashiyasume Atsuko, and popular YouTubers 'Lazy Lie Crazy (Raykure)'—Tomo-chan and Peloai Danshaku—also made their debut attempt at the Honolulu Triathlon, set against Hawaii’s breathtaking natural backdrop.
Koki, Former Tour Guide, Curates the Next Big Hawaii Spots & Gourmet Experiences
Right from the start, the group explored the latest Hawaii hotspots under Koki’s expert guidance. For gourmet, they sampled the smash burger—a local favorite operated by renting a yakiniku restaurant only during the day—at Ala Moana Beach Park. They also visited the newly opened 'Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa,' the first newly built hotel in Hawaii in nearly 30 years, experiencing the island’s cutting-edge trends.
Power Spot Confessions: Koki Venting About Pay, Raykure Reveals Shocking Monthly Income
Seeking detox—a core theme of the show—the group visited 'Pele’s Chair,' a scenic spot on Oahu known as the island’s newest geological formation and a powerful spiritual site. Amid the vast natural beauty, they shouted out their daily frustrations toward the ocean, revealing candid truths.
Peloai Danshaku shouted, 'People think YouTubers are all shady, but there are actually many serious ones out there!' Koki followed with a raw outburst: 'TV is at its limit! They keep talking about wage hikes, but my fee hasn’t changed in 20 years! It’s the same as my first appearance. This industry has no dreams.' His honesty stunned the cast.
As Koki lamented, Hashiyasume asked directly, 'By the way, how much do YouTubers actually earn?' Peloai Danshaku replied, 'We make around several million yen monthly as a five-member team…' and Tomo-chan added, 'I make several million yen per month,' revealing astonishing income figures. Koki joked, 'This isn’t detox at all. Now I hate myself for not having that kind of money,' drawing laughter.
Pushing Limits in the Triathlon Challenge! How Did the Grueling Race Unfold?
Next, the four took on the special program course of the Honolulu Triathlon (400m swim, 20km bike, 5km run). In the swim, Peloai Danshaku—whose background includes a strong swimming school—shocked everyone by starting with the butterfly stroke. Meanwhile, 55-year-old Koki, who struggled in practice, surprised everyone with his speed, saying, 'Adrenaline is incredible!'
During the bike leg, all four powered through, energized by Hawaii’s stunning views and warm roadside cheers. However, in the final run, accumulated fatigue began to slow the men, and even the eldest Koki approached his physical limits.
Did this unique four-member team successfully finish as 'one team' and reach their ultimate 'zencho' (peak)? The intense race to push their limits is now streaming for free on ABEMA. Don’t miss it!
