Model and talent Yuki Kimura, also known as "Yuki Poyo," appeared on the second episode of Abema's original variety show "I Sold All My Assets," which aired on February 26th.
Yukipoyo decided to sell her "currently sellable assets," including 147 pieces of clothing, to pursue her dream of opening a Filipino restaurant. She sought expert advice on whether she could really open a restaurant with the start-up capital of 3.9 million yen, which she combined her savings with the proceeds from the sale.
"To be honest, I never thought I'd be left out in the cold like this," he said, revealing his true feelings. "I don't have any savings, and when I think about my future, I think I'd better get it together," he said, revealing that he is aiming to open a Filipino restaurant as the next step in rebuilding his life.
However, food and beverage consultant Nagata Rappa points out the harsh reality, saying, "You'll need 18 to 20 million yen in capital," "The national average survival rate for restaurants after one year is 60%, and after three years it's 20%. In Tokyo, half go out of business after one year," and "No rivals = no demand." Yukipoyo lamented, "It might be tougher than the entertainment industry..."
MC Kojima Ruriko then said, "If you do it, I hope you make a difference and succeed," but added with a serious expression, "Quitting is also a decision," and "You're about to jump into a world where you can't use ignorance as an excuse," to which Yukipoyo replied tearfully, "Reality is harsh, but I'll do my best."
Kojima then hugged her and said, "It's okay. Lots of good things will happen from now on," to which Yukipoyo replied in a tearful voice, "That's so sweet..."
The show is a three-episode variety show that follows celebrities as they sell off all of their assets and pursue new dreams. Kojima and Takashi Yoshimura of the comedy duo "Heisei Nobushikobushi" will be the MCs.
