TV in Japan

This is how you examine your roots. If you’re the Iron Chef. And wondered what your show would look like without as much spit & polish. On TV. In Japan.

Simillar to the Chessy bite pizza here in the states , but instead of just cheese there is also
sasuage in it..

Why does Japan get all the good looking pizzas from Pizza-Hut.

God, how I love the Phantom camera. Who knew such mundane things would look so amazingly awesome when filmed with high speed film and then played back in slow motion.

Thanks to TViJ reader Hamed for the tip!

I am, and always have been (and probably always will be), a Beck fan. He is an amazing musician who switches things up so often I never get bored.

This is how you grocery shop. When you’re the director of big effects movies like Kung Fu Hustle. And you might just have to choke a cabbage. On TV. In Japan.

Again, Pythagoras Switch is the greatest children’s show on the planet. On TV. In Japan.

This is sushi. That smiles back at you. On TV. In Japan.

SIDE NOTE: This show is new to me but it looks like a bunch of it just got uploaded to YouTube. Anyone got any info?
