1997? Just how far back do Gaki and Cocorico go? :wtc:

Is there a good summary of the history of the two groups? I had no idea the two groups' relationship was so extensive.

Yamasaki joined in 1990 and Cocorico in 1997. Downtown has been going since the early 80s themselves and GnT the show has been a thing since 1989.

Long since discovered that Japanese people love making other Japanese people use English and laugh at them when they suck at it. They also do this with their own language, too. Japanese really lends itself to wordplay, far more than English does. They have this neat and tidy language with set rules that are almost never broken and every kanji has a rhyme and reason and we have this big box where someone took 8 different jigsaw puzzles and tossed the pieces in and tossed the box around and we just reach in and make pieces fit where we can and sometimes even when they're not supposed to fit.

Jimmy in the Batsu games was the same way. Though he at least understood the values. He just didn't know the words. Twenty became ten-ten, thirty became ten-ten-ten, etc. It was great.

Speaking of Japanese people loving to point out when other Japanese people don't know English well, I don't know if this show has been mentioned before, but Otona no Kiss Eigo is funny to me for that reason. It's hosted by Yamashita Tomohisa, aka Yamapi or Yama-P and has a variety of different show themes it goes through. The first episode involves him and a caucasian girl being put in a house in a situation where they're told they have to kiss when they hear certain music and dealing with that awkwardness as the day goes on.

My favorite episode of the show is probably the second one, where Yamapi is sent out with a hand camcorder to find people with English on their clothing to tell them what it means (because of course none of them know in the first place):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQk7_mS5ZPM

Another segment they've used a couple times has Yamapi and other Japanese entertainers learning and playing Hangman with an English instructor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBg202vZLdU

He's also done a segment several times where they use iPhone Siri set to American English to test people's pronunciations of English words:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD3cxNX4lC4

This playlist I've been linking from has episodes of the show with various amounts of English subtitling, but even the episodes that lack subtitles are generally followable since the point of the show is Japanese people using and/or struggling with English in the first place: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0wy9udUyrLkQDPE9zpntlR1rZBxXbKL

There are more episodes than that out there, but after awhile it turned more into a Japanese version of The Bachelor, apparently, but there are still a few other Hangman and Siri episodes out there that are enjoyable to watch, especially when they make Yamapi wheel a mobile Siri monitor cart around the TV station and ambush talents.

Oh man, saving those to watch later, Thanks! I plan on teaching English in Japan in a few years and this sort of stuff really interests me. It's great to know the "get tattoos of random Chinese/Japanese characters" in the west is balanced by the "Shirt with entirely random english words on them" in the east.

I don't know if it's been mentioned here yet but I bought this https://www.flashtvbox.com for my wife. She grew up in Japan and was getting all nostalgic for Japanese TV, and this was the only thing I found that got ALL the channels. It only stores shows for a week, no archives of anything, and it's not cheap (~$360 a year) but if you're looking for Japanese TV, I haven't found anything better.

I still cannot believe that these Japanese networks haven't wised up to the fact that they'd do well by simply allowing streaming subscriptions internationally. I get that there are licensing issues, etc., but there's money to be made. Then again, for as technologically advanced as we like to assume Japan is, business still seems to move at a snail's pace to keep up with it.

Let me know how that works. I'm assuming it's grey market.

I got it for her about a year and a half ago and it's worked great so far. I don't think it's grey market, it seems legit and afaik there's not really a cable service in Japan, so it's streaming what would normally be free? I just saw a lot of people asking for links to feeds and figured I'd throw this out there.

As far as Japan and tech goes, I know basically nothing about the country apart from what my wife says and what I saw during a 2 week vacation but I'd say it's not nearly as high tech as you'd think in everyday life, and the stuff that was crazy was applied to weird things. That whole tradition stereotype seemed to be completely true and applied in weird rear end ways. The bank we went to to exchange money still used paper files for EVERYTHING (so did the post office) and the handful of computers looked like they were from the 80s, black and green screens and all. Wifi was about non-existent outside of the hotel and Starbucks, and the girl looked at me like I was an alien when I tried to buy a burner SIM card for my phone.

There was a crazy rear end hologram chick at the airport though.

I'm amused by your lack of current events knowledge. That is the Duggar family of TLC's (former)19 Kids and Counting series. The fat kid in the upper left has spent the last 2 weeks or so being spitroasted in the media because he admitted to molesting several of his sisters. The family lives in a heinously oppressive patriarchy and the molestation will essentially be forgotten and the women forced to forgive and ignore the actions.

e: you might not be American so nevermind, I wasn't trying to come off as an rear end :v: Regardless, if you're uninformed they are currently a very big deal now because it's a huge scandal and their type of family values(google Quiverfull movement) are under a microscope.

Found a torrent with all the batsu from 2000 onwards. Any one in particular I should watch?

Why do Gaki's shows have so many Japanese subtitles? Do the members have really thick accents, or is just so people can hear the jokes amidst so much sound/laughter?

In the Prison Batsu it was almost constant. It's not like it's a bad thing, almost made me want to dust off my Japanese knowledge and just read them.

E: Is there anywhere I can watch Kinpachi Sensei? I've seen it parodied in so many Japanese shows that now I am intrigued.
