Japan is land of the abundant “Famous For Being Famous” class of entertainers. If Paris Hilton were Japanese, they’d literally have her anchoring the fucking national news. The most common TV show is a genreless, formless, gelatinous entertainment blog in which the Famous For Being Famous sit around a table and view video clips. The video clips expand to fill our entire TV screens; a picture-in-picture shows the faces of these Famous For Being Famous people as they react. They say things like “SUGOOOOI” when something impressive happens. They say “OMOSHIROOOOOI” when something is interesting. They say “OISHISOU!” when something looks delicious. Men say “UMAI!” immediately after taking a minuscule bite of food, sometimes before they even swallow, in this nasal voice, in a tone like they just ran up a flight of stairs. — Japan: It’s Not Funny Anymore
Pikk, aga kohati ülihuvitav “mul on Jaapanist kõrini” lugulaul aastaid Jaapanis elanud ameeriklaselt Tim Rogersilt. Töökultuur, meelelahutus, toit, mittenaljakad koomikud, hostess klubid, filmid jne – teemadering on lai. Jaapanit ja kõike sellega seonduvat ülistatakse Eestis piisavalt, et veidi teistsugust arvamust lugeda.
* Ilmselt peaks sõna “veider” asemel kasutama hoopis “võõras”.
