Japanese TV Part 1

I wrote in one of my previous blogs about some cool (IMO) Japanese music, and that it doesn't have to be in English to be good. One thing I've been even more impressed about with Japan is the quality [and quantity] of their TV shows. Yes, they have some real stinky and boring shows, but there's quite a good selection of great entertainment, and I'm pretty sure you can see something good on Japanese TV every day.
あいのり is one of my all time favourite programs. The first time I saw it I just couldn't understand what the point of this show was, but the more I watched it the more I became able to understand what the hell was going on -- That goes for all TV shows though. This show is a reality show about a group of people who travel the world while trying to fall in love. When one member falls in love with another, one needs to make a proposal to return to japan together "日本に帰ってください". I find it interesting that it's usually the women who do most of the proposals. Anyway... There are two outcomes, either they confess their love for eachother and return together, or, the person who made the proposal is sent back to Japan, loveless and alone. Next week's episode is said to be one of the most exciting of the whole year, or atleast I expect it to be.

ザ！世界仰天ニュース is my second favourite Japanese TV show. Each week they focus on a bizzare and interesting topic which is always really intruiging to watch. They often depict stories of things which have happened overseas which they re-enact and then dub over in Japanese. Quite an effort really, but I highly recommend this show. Last week's program was about 催眠, hypnotism, and focused a guy who had wrist surgery withough any anaesthetic:
