This is a most bizzare yet captivating find over at TV in Japan. It seems to be strangely costumed (no really; did you see the face on ‘Tom Jones’ in the first skit? Um, nightmare city…) Japanese men singing top 40 hits with puppet backing musicians and dancers. I mean, this is probably making prime-time TV in Japan. And for that, I support it wholeheartedly. But there’s something slightly frightening about it all. In essence the Muppet Show was the same thing, but I didn’t get nightmares from watching that for so many years. (well, there was Dark Crystal which pretty much scarred me for life with those goddamned Skesis…) Enjoy!
Oh yeah, I saw this guy too on TV in Japan. His face make-up freaks me out in the same way that white people (is that politically correct??) try to look Asian. His other videos were funny too.
It is very comforting…
russiabelle, I think ‘white people’ is pretty PC. I suppose you could always go the ‘whitey’ or ‘honky’ route, but i’d just go with ‘white people’. I think ‘the man’ is also acceptable.
and lil bruder, i’m glad you find comfort in this craziness. thats all the really matters.
