What Japanese movies or TV shows do you recommend me to watch?

  • I want to watch some Japanese movies or TV shows. What do you recommend me to watch?

  • Answer:

    Japanese shows can be very funny but they are very odd since they are based on embarrassing and torturing people. One of my favorite shows took place in a marine park where they had a small shack overlooking the Piranhas. They were showing people the pictures of what could happen to a cow if it got eaten then they dropped a big fish into the water. The water boiled up for about a minute then they pull the fish bones out. Just then, the guy doing the demonstration gets a phone call and steps outside. Now we see what is really happening. They have a giant speaker under the shack and six Japanese body builders. They speaker starts playing a rumbling sound and the body builder tip the shack into the pond. The floor is waxed so the person inside is dumped into the pond screaming. Then we see the underwater camera and there is a guy in a wet suit(who switched the fish for the bones on the fishing line) and he starts pinching the guy who fell into the water. The guy is screaming in fear thinking he is being eaten alive. Then he finally figures out it's all a prank and has to be polite and say "oh you got me good, very funny!" I saw them do this to about six celebrities and I was laughing so hard I could hardly breath. This is pretty typical of a Japanese show though. In another one, they had a contest to see who would keep their legs in a box full of bees and someone underneath was putting clothes pins on their legs. Seeing how long someone can suffer is big in Japan. As for movies, Sanjuro is good as well as Tampopo. Tampopo is only about 20 years old and set in modern Tokyo. It's very funny. Most of the films I know are Samurai though. The Hidden Fortress, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Samurai Banners.

"Taiyou no Uta" is a good movie with singer/actress YUI in it. "One Litre of Tears" is a bit depressing, but it has a deeping meaning. I highly recommend this drama. A lot of people seem to like, "Hana Kimi" and "Hana Yori Dango". I haven't seen the latter, yet, but "Hana Kimi" contains a lot of comedy. Anime is always popular. I really liked, "Kuroshitsuji" and "Loveless". I like watching "The God of Entertainment" at times, it would definetely make you laugh. It really depends on your own taste and preference, though. Good luck!! I hope this helped a bit!!

I agree with the person who mentioned: - 1 Liter of tears - Taiyou no uta - Hana Kimi Other great movies or dramas to watch is - Lovely Complex (movie) - Gokusen (Drama) - Nana 1 & 2 (movie) - Crows Zero (movie) - Moon child ( movie)
