My parents dont watch much TV aside from the news, I work construction and tons of my customers (mostly 40+ year old homeowners) dont even bother running TV lines anymore since they stream everything, and most of my friends that are over 30 dont bother with TV either. TV has gotten to be such shit and people dont like bending their schedule to fit set programming that everyones just going to streaming. The fact that cable companies are so corrupt doesnt help, I dont know anyone with a cable package that hasnt been double billed or billed for random BS, like my mom who was billed for a missing router they claimed she never gave back when she canceled her membership which she'd done months before they sent her the bill.

Sure you could put up an argument of saying japanese entertainment are much fun than western but the other side could also put up the same argument and it will end up in a stalemate. That is your preferences. Media is media, be it western or eastern. They're all the same blood-sucking vampire trying to get story or programs go on at whatever the cost is. Try to see it in an open perspective and not bashing one for the other. Ultimately both sucks and both are good.

Yes it does plague the hollywood industries as well and i'm kinda tired seeing they tried shoving their agenda down our throat but whenever i see some good quality programs, i'd watch it bro. There are some good programs out there, be it eastern or western, we just have to get out from our bubbles of judgement and discover some great shit out there.

I had the pleasure of being on Japanese TV once, in the 90's. A crew came to do a bit on local sites and I was the "tour guide" (this was a very rural area in Hyogo with no other western foreigners for probably a fifty mile radius). I didn't have to say much. Spent most of my time standing near the guy with the mic, nodding and smiling a lot. Our last shot was in a village up on a mountain top, locally famous for the rice fields stepping down the slope. To this day I cannot figure out why I was abandoned there, but I was left behind, in that little village of senior citizens. Wound up drinking and getting hammered in a barn with the village boss and a few farmers before one finally took me back to my place of work in his K-Truck. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Yes, it is as bad as you've made out. I've been here 50 years and used to be a regular on some shows 40 years back. I pretty much stunk as a '漫才' stand-up-comedian (looking back on some old tapes), but it was all praise, and no-one ever commented on how bad I was ( partly because my partner was quite famous in those days). When I did stand up comedy (相声） in Chinese in the states once (I speak both Japanese and Chinese), I actually had someone make a comment that I wasn't really very funny (the Chinese are much more direct), and remember how thankful I was that finally someone told me the truth. I remember a Japanese cooking show I was on where they made up that I was a specialist in making pancakes, and the host commented on how delicious my pancakes were (never made pancakes before). A lot of it is just outright lies. Anyhow, the last TV show I was on was in 1983, and after that Japanese speaking foreigners started to increase so I was replaced by better talent.

Native English speakers really do aspirate the "p" sound at the beginning of words more than they do in the middle of a word. I'm not sure, but I think native Japanese speakers really don't aspirate their "p"s at any part of the word. You certainly can train yourself to not aspirate your "p"s but it's difficult to imagine anyone bothering to do so. The "this is a pen" test does have an actual valid point to make...it just not very scientifically rigorous enough to really mater....it's just one valid point blown out of proportion.

The hyped over-reactions over nothing aside, it was also very clearly trying to manufacture parasocial relationships between fans and the idols. The shows were about mundane everyday things so you could imagine hanging out with them, as if they were like your friends or classmates.

And are you all Japanese or...

I have done business with the Japanese as they visited Canada. There was an issue with the product that we were going to sell for them in Canada. Upon expressing my concerns, I was told that rather than admit to the potential issue, the Japanese representative would think Canadians as rude and tried to prove at all cost that the product was fine. Asian cultures (generally) are very concerned about "losing face",which is about keeping respectable appearances regardless of the reality. So I'm not surprised how Japanese tv seems almost euphoric and over the top happy and positive. Negative emotions are not accepted in public at all. Any criticism is taken as personal shame and often projects the image of failure.

@kryts27

Shame culture face-saving goes to blandness of the most excruciating sort, and (unlike the Chimese) the Japanese are very polite, which makes it sort of worse. It's a kabuki theater of understanding the degree of the bow to discover your ranking in society, and social nicities which kind of make your head impode with it's careful subtleness. Leaving a dead fly on your neighbor's doormat is a declaration of war, yet the Japanese army acted with extreme brutality during World War 2, which made the Waffen SS look like jolly nice chaps. So definitely volcanic level of schizophrenic destruction there if the kill switch is flicked. Incomprehensible, baffling and time-wasting from a more direct Westener point of view (Westerners are bigger on guilt culture than shame culture). Probably the Japanese feel negativity about Westerners being crude and rude peasants in return.

Which I can fully understand is baffling from an outside perspective, it's more of a 'read the air' thing that must be hard to do cross culturally.

The only time I had the TV on in Japan was when I was staying in Kofu, me and a friend initially found it incredibly strange that there was a channel dedicated to just showing traffic cameras with classical music playing. It was surprisingly relaxing though, and I had it on for at least an hour every night, not actively watching it like, but still.

Takeshi's Castle does give me nostalgia because I used to watch it as a kid at night, because it aired at night for me (I'm not a Japanese btw) but nonetheless I now find Japanese TV quite overwhelming for me, I never knew Takeshi's Castle was a Japanese Show until this video (when I saw it for the first time, this isn't my first time here as of this comment). FYI, it was dubbed in my native language so I never knew it was Japanese + thought that Japan doesn't exist (Basically, what I mean by this is that I used to think this as a kid that there was only one country and that would be where I'm from). Edit: 100 LIKES?! This is my first time getting a lot of likes in a comment, thank you! Note that I watched the reruns of it dubbed in my native language, which I didn't think about it when I originally commented.

Wow the presentation and video editing style of yours is simply captivating! For real. I sat through this like a breeze. I also love the fact that you don't mince words, say things as they are. You earned my trust as a honest source... of entertainment. Subscribed!

Phonetically speaking, the word "pen" in English does in fact have a more aspirated plosive sound than "ペン" in Japanese, so the air could actually be exhaled more forcefully in English, though they definitely exaggerated that effect, and it certainly has no measurable impact on the spread of a virus. Also the fact that they used the same speaker for both languages, who obviously didn't pronounce English like a native speaker, makes their experiment questionable.

Can we just take a moment to sincerely appreciate Chris’ editing skills? Top notch!

The Chinese back in the day could’ve spread worldwide even before the English. They invented gun powder, the compass, and were great sailors, but choose to mind their own and didn’t have that greedy conquering mentality. Also I’m definitely not saying what you’re implying either, because I would not call Native Americans or any other indigenous culture weak, it’s actually quite the opposite. A great example would be the Maori or Hawaiian people, but the difference with natives cultures was that they were not infected with the virus of greed, and lived in accordance to other principles like respecting nature and living according to earth’s rules. In contrast, certain “other cultures” seems that were (still are) intersted in conquest and control, as if they had an infection in their mind that makes them blind. There are plenty of examples of that still being the case today. You see 👁 there is a difference; cultural and philosophical, but it would be ignorant to say otherwise, that’s what I’m saying 💡

I was on Japanese TV once and I hated it so much but always lied about my experience when talking to Japanese ppl lol I thought they'd get upset. But my close jpn friends said that they expected it to be cringy (at least). they made me say so much lies and forced me to exaggerate my reaction to really stupid stuff Like..since I'm from a 3rd world country, they wanted me to be amazed at the skyscraper, like... Wth? I had just landed in Tokyo past midnight after 20h+ flight, was freaking tired, but they still wanted me to act all happy and amazed at stuff THEY get to choose, on our way to the hotel, they opened the car window and wanted me to act all hyped because I saw skyscrapers... I just wasn't, I tried but I was so bad that they gave up but then I saw a really awesome building, probably a sumo wrestling stadium and I was genuinely impressed by it so I asked them about it, guess what? They just started at me and nobody bothered replying. And yeah, they made the audience rehearse "heeeeeee" multiple times before we started.

Any stat you’re looking at is the EARNINGS gap, you’re comparing the TOTAL earnings of ALL men to the TOTAL earnings of ALL women and that’s where that stupid wage gap comes from. Men and women get paid the same for the same job. Women tend to take lower paying careers, it just is what it is, thus leading to the earnings gap. It’s mostly choice. Women could easily become a welder or a plumber or a garbage truck driver, and earn well close to six figures, sometimes even six figures! Women want equality in cushy jobs. I don’t see anyone rallying for equality in trades, manual labor, etc, despite those industries overwhelmingly being male. I guess it’s fine for that to stay part of the patriarchy.

Maybe the dying days of tape trading pro wrestling and MMA from Japan and Mexico ruined what I learned years later about Japanese TV in the late 90s - early 2000s. Outside of the stories of batshit insane New Years Eve specials, K-1 kickboxing shows that were filled with commercials for (what I assumed were) Japanese soap operas, where women would get randomly naked, or a private investigator who would solve a crime via tying someone up with "ancient rope tactics", while probably recorded from off-the-air channels, the channel was most likely a lowly watched cable channel, and the show probably either aired at 3 am, or as weekend TV filler. At least I was lead to believe from the "pieces of napkins" I pieced together from years of falling down "rabbit holes" on the Internet, LOL.

Come to think of it, my brief experiences trying to learn a foreign language, if I talk to that language teacher for a little bit, they will tell me how great the country is, how everyone is nice and hospitable, and they take vacations every year to that country, and there is rarely any crime or gang activity (Mexico, Japan, Russia, France, etc.) Very nice place to visit, a paradise, and "don't believe everything you hear in media" type scenario.. Now compare that with my "research", now as a middle age white male, who probably found some crazy shit such as "Takeshi's Castle" (here as MXC in the United States), "Death Match wrestling" (aka, "Strangle-mania"), poor quality mid-90s "hentai" anime (I think you might be seeing a trend with very poor "comedic" English voice dubbing), and the occasional "Yakuza" action film, in my teenage years, that left me with far more questions than answers, and my stereotypes about Japan that may be far different from the language teachers I mentioned earlier, if not somewhat hilarious and a little tragic in hindsight.

Haha! This was a fun episode! Especially with chips.

Now you mentioned Takashi's Castle, Amazon actually brought that back. No idea if they will do a second season but you could have a chance to do it. They had several KZreadrs on it and my goodness they had to be so nice to the people who failed or else they wouldn't have a show past episode one!😂

This reminds me of when I would watch Thai dramas with my grandmother and everything was just absolutely exaggerated. She would even translate the more "serious" parts so I wouldnt get lost. It was all fun to watch though.

Thank you for explaining something that’s always perplexed me.

We had to watch tv for our trip there with my friends and it was hilarious. We had a great time seeing the shopping broadcast where they were amazed about some kind of buttplug for the mouth. It was in fact an item to strengthen your mouth muscles. We made a private gif and the best in our collection to this day. 10 out of 10 sugoooooy

The camera always being in the background because you're a youtuber was so funny. I had a chemistry igcse p2 exam today (went well) and this video just made me even happier, I think I laughed too much for my own good haha and I was eating a pizza lol. Great channel.

This is amazing. I lived in Japan back in 2001-2002, and NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Peak moment for me was some dude tasting raw unseasoned tofu and just going aboslute bonkers on HOW AMAZING IT WAS.

Same. I once watched a show on radishes in a very depressing hotel room with everyone sugoiing all over the place. I just kept watching intrigued how long they could keep it up. In the end I cracked and switched off after about an hour before the insanely long ode to radishes was over.

I'm Japanese. I'm strongly agree with him. 90% of Japanese TV show is called "Variety" show. It means that comedians, celebrities, idols, and actors are watching video in the studio, and they talk episodes related with video after watching it. I hate this kind of TV show. I simply want to watch the video without their talking. And TV companies should spend more cost to the video in order to make it more entertained, instead spend cost to guys in the studio.

Do they not have Graphic Designers for their TV shows? All that text on the screen, all different colors, all different fonts, and sizes all over the screen, and some random face with a TERRIBLE "Clip-art" frame around him... It's awful. That looks just like many of the things our graphic design professors would show us for us to see exactly what NOT to do lol.

This was an amazing video. Dude's hilarious
