The story
Streamer Daisuke Hori is in the middle of his ongoing ’30-minute sleep’ endurance livestream project. Despite repeatedly insisting he ‘wouldn’t cut the stream,’ he abruptly reversed course after a call with physician-YouTuber Kanya Takasu, announcing ‘I’m cutting the stream for 2 hours’ and admitting he’d take a nap. The sudden about-face became a hot topic on 5ch, drawing reactions from every angle — whether he’s really a short sleeper, how much money the project is bringing in, and what to make of his exchange with fellow participant Hosoi, who’s also on scene.
What people said
He's lost his usual edge
Meanwhile our boy Horidai is ripped and sturdy, so proud of him
Guess short sleepers really are built different
He's probably pulled in tens of millions of yen off this project alone
Nah, with 1,000 concurrent viewers a 3-hour stream brings in about ¥3,000, so at 100x that concurrent count, even a rough calc over a 168-hour week easily clears ¥10 million
Did he fake a stream outage to sneak in some sleep or something?
Video call with Kanya Takasu in the afternoon
↓
Hori: 'I'm at my limit… I never actually said I'd only sleep 30 minutes…'
↓
Takasu: 'You've always been the type to take naps too, haven't you, Hori?'
↓
Hori: 'Yeah… the rules are brutal.'
↓
Takasu: 'If it's dangerous, let's change the rules and finish this safely!'
↓
Hori: 'Okay! Naps are allowed then! I'm cutting the stream for 2 hours starting now!'
Don't care if the rules are tough lol
Bet he's totally intimidated by this Hosoi guy
LOL he's barely saying anything now
Seems super nervous right now
He's only picking up comments that hit exactly where he doesn't want to be touched, so he's on guard
Went from Shibumaku (an elite prep school) to Chiba University's med school, used to be a gyaru-o (flashy tanned pretty-boy type), and it's all natural, no plastic surgery — a genuinely elite guy
Types like Hori or 'Edger' probably can't handle a guy like that
Doesn't he lose outright to Horidai in terms of physique?
I thought Hosoi would be more built than that
Then again, Hori might be so far gone at this point that nobody knows what he'll do, so they're probably both keeping their guard up
Who's 'Edger'?
He's a doctor
The guy who's always acting tough on 'Reiwa no Tora' (a business-pitch reality show, like a Japanese Shark Tank)
The Super Chat donations are insane

He's got staff to pay and probably sank a lot of money into all the setup, so what he actually pockets isn't that huge
There's Super Chat and everything, but once this wraps up people probably won't even bring it up anymore — once the novelty wears off, it's over
Let's keep saying this no matter what, forever
Apparently he only slept 2 hours, so yeah, that checks out
No idea if it's really 30-minute sleep, but he's definitely a short sleeper
Just now he doubled down: 'I slept! Because it felt good! Isn't a head spa basically for sleeping anyway?!'
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Daisuke Hori appears to be running an endurance livestream project built around sleeping only 30 minutes a day, and this thread is live commentary on how it’s unfolding. The replies show that while he initially declared he wouldn’t take any naps, a call with physician-YouTuber Kanya Takasu led to a proposed rule change, and Hori ended up allowing himself a nap by framing it as ‘cutting the stream for 2 hours.’ Opinions in the thread are split over whether this reversal was a sensible call that prioritized his health, or whether it undermines the entire premise of the project. It’s also worth noting that the earnings figures being thrown around are estimates users worked out backward from the concurrent viewer count — Hori himself hasn’t disclosed any actual numbers, which is easy to mistake for fact. Likewise, the comments about Hosoi’s background and physique are unverified claims from the thread and should be treated with caution.
