Name that Show

captaincapitalism · 05-31-2007

I remember I read an article online a little while ago about a one-shot game show in Japan. It essentially was about a guy named "nobu" who the show-runners had locked in a hotel room, a la Oldboy, until he won a total value of 1,000,000 yen in sweepstakes prizes.

Anybody know the name of this show? It was some huge pop culture hit in japan, and I can't remember the name of it at all. Help me out here.

I can't even remember where I originally heard about the show... It was either referenced in OldBoy or Gantz, can't remember which....
