Life in Tokyo #57: Surviving Japanese TV



Uploaded by: tokyocooney
Video Description:
So a few months ago I was working on an ABC reality show called "I Survived A Japanese Game Show." Its currently broadcasting on ABC, so I recommend checking it out. It was an interesting experience for me since it was the first time Ive worked with a non-Japanese TV crew in 7 years. All of the staff were from LA, except for me and the other local hires. Look for my name under "Japanese Crew" though last time I checked... I'm not Japanese. But then, I suppose in this case I am.
Also, some of the footage from my confessional room interview during my short period as a contestant nobody else knew about. Im not actually in the show of course, I was just on the production staff.
"I Survived a Japanese Game Show" Is on ABC Tuesday Nights at 9/8 Central, Summer 2008.
***The background is Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo***

I tried watching that show, but it appears that they chose the dumbest people you could find in America. That show really sucked and it felt like I was watching a reality TV show.

you know i think those houses are built that way in order to brainwash the lower class japanese and now in 2008 you see these long lines because they are over the lies they been used to since who knows when...they are tired of raw nasty ass food they are getting sick of life over there and i think they need more than raw chicken so sorry i bagged on you but i did and im not ashamed just sorry because you arent the whole history of japan but i think you agree with it instead of dissecting it

I watched an episode of that show, and I don't know if it was just me, but it seemed ultra fake & staged. I've watched a couple japanese game shows myself, and none that I've seen are that outrageous. It kinda seems like the producers are trying to scare american people into thinking that all japanese game shows & people are that crazy.
