  • Watching Adam & Joe Go To Tokyo on YouTube which is a BBC3 series of 2 british comedians doing like a travel-variety show in Japan (although it’s mostly presented from a studio flat or whatever). Ehh, it’s OK I guess. They’re not funny at all. Some of the stuff they cover like talking to Shinichiro Watanabe and Michael Arias about The Animatrix and Osakana-Kun who is like some self-taught fish expert (and either a child’s media presenter or autistic or something?), and covering some of the current trends in Japan like ads for dog translation collars at the time of 2003. Still has that orientalism shit although not out-right racist so far at least. Mentioned the girls’ underwear vending machine thing which I assumed was a much later internet thing, feels weird having it mentioned in 2003 when people are still referencing that in the same ‘Japan so weird’ way.
