Ding ding! One point to Takechan.
Actually, I was thinking about Utada Hikaru.

And also the important factor that it didn't scream out to me "I'm watching a Japanese drama, with stilted, unnatural dialogue." But I see that it was last century, which comes as a bit of a shock to me. It had a cute tie in with the plot climaxing on Christmas Eve, and the last episode broadcast on Christmas Eve.
Not a deep movie by any means but an enjoyable romp and a reminder of what skiing was like back in the bubble, you can't go past 私をスキーに連れてって. Lots of corny stuff to criticise about the movie, but that is part of the charm.
Fuji Television Network Inc announced Wednesday that it has decided to produce and distribute original content for the world’s leading Internet television network operated by Netflix Inc, that boasts a membership of approximately 62 million subscribers in 50 countries.
There will be two productions: a new series of “Terrace House,” called “Terrace House New Season Coming” (tentative title), and drama serial “Atelier” (Japanese title - “Underwear”). In addition, both productions will be forerunners in being broadcast for distribution to exclusively premiere on Netflix globally. The credit of “Fuji Television presents” will be seen together with Netflix’s logo in global distributions.

Made you say it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get schtick from Jpn because I refuse to watch CSI or 24 or any of that America The Paranoid cookie cutter crap they seem to prefer here. Or House. To be fair, American TV mostly sucks shit, just in a different way. I always giggled wondering if the producers titled shows Breaking Bad, Mad Men, or Walking Dead as an ironic deprecation of the audience.
It would be nice if Fuji TV were to release their back catalogue in a similar way. They used to make some pretty good stuff, as cheesy J-Dora go. I know I can still rent them at Tsutaya...........if I had a PC from 2003 that has a disc drive. Is there a good business reason for outfits like that to lock down their catalogues like a mediaeval princess in a chastity belt?
BTW, I don't get how anybody could commit suicide from watching Jpn panel variety TV; I get so paralysed by disbelief and despair I can't move for 3 days

I don’t watch TV in Japan often. When I do I’m quickly reminded of one fact. Japanese TV is fucking rubbish.
“Kenmin Show” was on just last night. For those who don’t know, Kenmin Show is a show where mostly talentless celebrities are amazed at footage of regional differences in Japan. Examples include “Did you know that old women in Osaka wear bright colours?” HUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEERRR? Well fuck my cock right down to the balls; no I did not know that.
The particular clip that shat itself into my living room last night was of some little old dear on some little old island off Kagoshima making a local delicacy. They interviewed a few local people.
Do you, sir, eat this local dish?
Well yes I do.
Cue ripples of excitement in the studio.
Do you, madam, eat this local dish?
Well yes I do.
Talento bird with stupid fucking hat tries to look inquisitive.
We re-join the little old dear in her little old kitchen on some little old island off Kagoshima to watch her prepare the mystery dish. First she gets some fish and grills them. The panel in the studio comment on how nice they look. The old dear then pulls out the second ingredient. What could it possibly be? Tits on Christ it’s a secret. We can tell this ingredient is a secret because it has been edited in post-production and obscured with the word “SECRET”.
The panel, visible in little boxes in the corner of the screen, ponder the many wondrous possibilities. Some knob in thick rimmed glasses audibly asks himself, “What is this mystery ingredient?”
One guy on the panel, a Kagoshima native, is looking insufferably smug. He already knows what it is. The cunt.
Kitchen. We see the old dear breaking the fish apart with her fingers and throwing them in a pan. Some twat in the studio says “wild”, other twats giggle. The secret ingredient is introduced to the mix so that now the pan itself has become shrouded in secrecy.
It’s not over. We see a third ingredient, sugar. Not a secret, but no less important. In fact the sugar itself has inspired awe in a number of the studio audience. Not one, not two but THREE spoonfuls are added to the secret brew. The two hosts of the show, wide eyed, silently mouth the word “three?” to each other.
“Ah yes, three”, the smug fucker from Kagoshima nods to himself.
Back to the action. The feast is complete. The little old dear whisks the dish out into the dining area where it is received with rapturous applause from the eagerly waiting friends and family. They eat it. They confirm it is delicious. Talento bird in stupid hat says it sounds delicious. Cunt from Kagoshima already knows how it tastes!
Meanwhile, us poor saps at home still don’t know what it looks like. Not to worry, it’s time for the big reveal. Cue music, camera slowly pans down towards kitchen bench. What is it? Could it be?
CUT TO CLOSE UP OF TALENTO JIZZ FACES. HUUUUEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR???!!!!
Commercial break. People eating. People gulping. Birds cleaning faces. People eating. Sexy yet compact cars. People eating.
We return to the show. Luckily we are given time to compose ourselves with a recap of the little old dear in her little old kitchen on some little old island off Kagoshima guiding us through the process of cooking once more.
15 minutes have elapsed since we were first privy to the existence of this magical local delicacy but now it is time. Cue music again, camera slowly pans down towards kitchen bench again. Talento jizz faces again. Huueeerr again.
We are allowed to see that inside the pan is mushed fish. Bird in stupid hat confirms that it looks delicious. Studio audience reasserts this fact. That’s not what we came here for though. The fish mush is just the warm up. We still don’t know what the secret ingredient is. WE MUST KNOW. Fear not. It is time.
The two hosts announce energetically and in tandem, “KAGOSHIMA, COMING OUT!”
Cue music for the final time. The camera, positioned on the old dear’s face ever so slowly pans out, the people at home, the studio audience, the panel in their little boxes in the corner of the screen, are all wetting themselves in anticipation…
Until…
Finally…
…
Miso paste.
HUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR???!!!!
It is absolute fucking chaos in the studio. Nobody can fucking believe it. The bird in the stupid hat looks almost incredulous that someone, Japanese no less, would use such an ingredient in such a dish. The knob in thick rimmed glasses nods as if he has unlocked one of the great complexities of the world.
Just when the atmosphere couldn’t get any more electric, the two hosts announce that the mystery dish is here, in this very studio. It is ushered out into the waiting mouths of the talento, who clap in wonder. The bird in the stupid hat can finally say with conviction that the dish not only sounds, looks, but tastes delicious. The smug cunt from Kagoshima has a face which beams “I told you so!” and welcomes his new brothers and sisters to the higher plane of regional knowledge.
Commercial break. People eating.

Now, onto the quibbling: I am now fascinated with this Japanese word the author translated as "wild", but maybe that's a secret too.........and "sounds delicious" is not the phrase the airhead in stupid hat was using. But I digress: Miso paste, added to a fish dish. Japan is freaky, man. Who could have thought of that........besides me and a number of others that like both miso flavoured sauce and fried fish???

Well, if it was primarily a visual impression...........Yes????? A bit of a pet peeve that one. I get corrected a lot for saying Looks Delicious by people that insist that set phrase translation is acontextual. Which it isn't. If you're any good. Which.............awww, F it
If Wairudo is now a TV word I plan to watch way less variety TV than I do now, but I like your reasoning, Holmes
