Japanese billionaire scraps bid to find a girlfriend for his moon trip via reality TV

Maezawa has paid an undisclosed amount to secure his seat as the first space tourist on board Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket, scheduled for lift-off in 2023.
"I've notified AbemaTV that for personal reasons, I have canceled my appearance on the Full Moon Lovers show," he tweeted.
"When I think about the 27,772 people who thought carefully and took the time to apply, I really feel regretful.
But going into this half-baked would be extremely rude to the applicants, so while it's selfish of me, I halted the project."
"I was one of the applicants," one user by the name of "Hiromi" wrote on Twitter.
