Classic TV in Japan: Morning Musume Vs. Lizard (w/ subs)

I’m beginning to craft an end of the year post which will highlight some of my favorite TV in Japan moments of the year.

However, I also wanted to take a few posts to put up some videos that blew up before TViJ exsisted. Yes, it may be hard to believe that TV in Japan has only been around since this last April. But it’s true. And, yes, there were Japanese TV clips on the internet before that.

Here, we have the internet classic Morning Musume Vs. Lizard. This video (and reaction to it across the net) was one of the first things that made me remember how much I loved watching Endurance back in the day. Enjoy:

So when you say last April, what you really mean is back when dinosaurs ruled the earth (via cheese wedge shaped cages); in that case, TViJ has been around longer than I realized. Keep up the good work!

Ah, the gateway video to both TV in Japan and Moring Musume. Time to watch it for the 10,000th time. Awesome :)

I actually pity the poor lizard, which had to endure all that screaming and stress from being in such an unfamiliar environment.

Haha, they showed this clip on the Colbert Report as their “live Oosaka feed”.

yeah, poor lizard.

You saw Endurance? Live in its original broadcast? Man, you and I go back a long way in Japan…

No, I didn’t see it in its original broadcast. I saw it on VHS rented from the 54th Street deli in Seattle, WA. But it’s awesome just the same.

LMAO, I just LOVE IT that the only one that didn’t run away (on the left side that is, where Izam-san runs after Abe) was Tsuji-chajn, she kicks ass!!
