"Really? Yeah, really!"

"Really? Yeah, really!"

Jul 11

Holy crap, I think I’ve fallen off the reality show wagon hard. I just discovered I Survived a Japanese Game Show.

A whackload of Americans perform crazy Japanese game show stunts on a show called majide (j-youth slang for “really?” – the host and audience yells the tag phrase, “majide… hai, majide!” Literally, “Really? Yeah, really!” complete with odd hand motion and letter-M gang sign) The only downside is all the typical reality show, behind-the-scenes crap. It’s only a matter of time before someone says “I’m not here to make friends” ruins it all.

Why couldn’t we just have a show, exactly like this, without that shit. Most of it is coming from the site producers, and then played up in post anyhow. It’s not real.

But the hanging out in Japan… oh, and the picking up stuffed bears as a giant human claw machine game… that’s fucking real!

Also, watching the Japanese audience’s t-shirts is a drinking game waiting to happen. “I heart Guam!” “Oh Happy Day!” Every one of them a winner.
