Why is it that programmes aired in the UK about Japan always have to involve the extreme wierd? Why not have Kelly go over to Japan and just experience the normal life there - why make her work in a love hotel etc..? Its just another Japanorama.
Its a real turn off for me, its as though you can only like Japan if you make fun of it.
...Who would want to work in a love hotel?!

I've always thought the exact same thing about TV shows about Japan. There was a series with Jonathan Woss about Japan which was just terrible. They pick out the worst and most weird parts of Japan and go "ha ha! Look how messed up it is!" and everyone believes their rubbish.
Imagine a TV show about Britain that said that everyone is a football-watching hooligan that lives off Carling and fish and chips, gets their teenage girlfriends pregnant and gets money from the government for doing no work. That seems pretty accurate to me.
I'm so glad I haven't bothered with a TV license for the last couple of years.
Thanks, Karen and Ben! I feel you are speaking for me (or all Japanese people in the UK).
I like Jonathan indeed, but the Japanorama was a bit embarrasing as well as the Kelly Osbone programme.
terrible :( but sadly i'm not surprised about a show like this.
Its just to gain viewers. Like the big brother scandal - people only started watching it AFTER the racism. On holiday programme, they always visit Tsukiji fish market! Because its supposed to be shocking, to prove that Japan has such a peculiar culture, but really japan is just as normal/freeky as the uk.
Ben is right - I wonder if in Japan they have a show with a this kind of british life? haha!
Anyway - I hear shell become an English teacher in Japan too? This episode might be more interesting, ...?! :)
I wonder what kind of image of England shows from other countries portray..? :) The hooliganism or the 'posh' royal country... bit of a stark contrast...
This programme is bad (takky music alert too...) but yep... I am kind of curious to the episode when she is an english teacher... :)
