New blog about wacky crap on TV in Japan
April 27th, 2006 by MonkeyXeni Jardin:
If you went gaga over that “lizard attacks girls wearing meat hats” video a while back, this will be welcome news. BoingBoing reader Gavin Purcell just launched a new blog about odd (at least to Westerners) stuff on television in Japan.
After visiting Japan a few times, I found myself totally foregoing all tourist-type things to hang out in my hotel room and watch TV. I understand very little Japanese but in some ways that made the experience much more charming and fascinating. I think you’ll agree that there’s something very unique about Japanese TV programming that you just don’t get anywhere else.
And now, thanks to sites like YouTube and Google Video, there’s now a bunch of Japanese TV clips online and it allows me to feed into my love of the stuff.
