First for remembering there is a new Futari Ecchi live action film with Hikaru Aoyama as the main girl

Anyone like Tora-san?

>>21617237
I can't understand how Yoji Yamada spent 40 years of his life directing these kind of films when it's confirmed he's a really talented director. It was all for the money or he was a good friend of Tora-san actor?

Watching Gaki crews playing board games is so much fun.

>>21617293
Based on the blurb he wrote for the English box set I'd say a bit of both, but also just genuine interest in a character that you keep coming back to and seeing how he adapts to changing times.

>>21617367
Following that path of a character during decades is interesting, yet watching the +40 films now in a row would be too demanding... same with the +20 movies of that fishing guys franchise.

Stop watching manga adaptations

Anyone like Terayama's movies?

This is pretty cute.
>>21616816
I read this years ago.

And this dude is always amusing to watch.

>>21619261
I have watched Pastoral: To Die In the Country only.
Very hit and miss film in its weirdness, 6/10. He should have directed a Midori live action version in its time, and not the shit we got years ago by Torico.

Thank you, Mr. Kitano.

>>21618993
You still mad that Joe Hisaishi had a quarrel with you after Dolls and never wanted to work with you again? Grow up, Takeshi.

>>21616816
She doesnt resemble main character in any way though. I read manga fucking looong time ago and followed it for good 2-3 years

>>21619424
Goddamn all that female cast is fucking hot

>>21622786
I know she doesn't, but she's my favorite gravure idol, I'm happy for her if she wants an acting career in shitty movies. This means she won't go to porn tho, but well... I can't be angry at her, she's so cute and hot.

Are there some really scary movies? Im talking like (in terms of anime) Higurashi or just themes like existential dread like NHK ni Yousouko. Newfag here by the way

>>21623239
Sion Sono's works (Live-Action)
Satoshi Kon's (Anime)
Koji Shiraishi's works (Live-Action)
Ryutaro Nakamura (Anime)

>>21623239
I found Noroi scary, but that's mostly a meme nowdays and everybody should have watched it by now...

Tenyo kun is out of the racen who is gonna win the Natsubowl?!

>>21617293
because it was a guaranteed sell, film studios love stability and definite ROI
people also love stability, watching a tora-san film was like a ritual or sort of family get together for 30 years where you knew what to expect in every film
same can be said for extremely long running series like lupin, you kind of know what to expect and it gives the nostalgia factor as well as what >>21617367 said where the newest lupin media shows him using smartphones or new gizmos when stealing stuff

Tora-san 3 and 4 weren't directed by Yoji Yamada tho

Has anyone found Cherry Boys, 2018, somewhere?

>beat em up show
>mc is weak as a random mook
>never wins
Surprisingly the show is interesting because of this premise. The story somehow moves forward one way or another. It's also like Crows Zero but campier.
>>21627431
Online copy doesn't exist yet, unfortunately.

>>21630411
Triendl is one of the most beautiful out there but can't act for shit.

Anyone watching anata no ban desu?
Halfway through it and I hope we aren't getting a retarded twist with the whole mansion collaborating with each other to kill

I recently watched "My Tommorow, Your Yesterday" and "I Want to eat your pancreas" and I really loved them both. What movies would you suggest I watch next?

Just nabbed a small subscription to iSakura to check it out and its pretty cool so far. What are some of the better channels though? I've never actually had access to live TV from Japan before

>>21631850
Yep. She's just eye candy in shows especially when she was in her early twenties.
>>21634804
Maybe try "100th Love with You" and "Orange"?

>>21632423
I think it's more that most of the murders happened to be coincidences.

>>21619424
Probably being an idiot but reverse searches aren't bearing fruit, i can't find a drama called "living together" and I don't remember the name or where I recognize the girl from so can someone shed light on what this show or movie is called

>>21636139
It's Yuube wa Otanoshimi Deshita ne and the girl is Tsubasa Honda

>>21634950
Is this a legitimate service? The website looks a little sketch.

>>21636422
I only paid for a 3 day activation, but I've been watching live TV all day and they haven't tried stealing hundreds of dollars from my paypal yet

Kinda bummed I didn't get the pro package though, thats the one that has all the cool channels like Fuji One and Animax, I didn't know there was more than one Fuji TV though so I just figured I'd get to watch Gamecenter CX tonight on the basic one. Price is pretty fair though, I can't really complain about getting nearly 100 channels for 30 bucks a month when thats about what you pay for the most basic packages in my area

>>21636442
30 bucks a month for TV is nuts, especially when they aren't even delivering the real thing.

You can't even turn on subs, because you're watching the same video stream as everyone else. Personally, I'd rather just wait an hour to watch the shows on one of the chink video sites so I can skip through the adbreaks.

Maybe if you're dumb enough to pay for TV in the first place, this seems like a reasonable deal. But I pay 20 bucks a month for 100mb, so the idea of paying 30 bucks a month for 720p streams is just insane to me.

>>21636637
30 bucks for nearly 100 live TV channels really is a good deal, I don't know if you've ever paid for TV but its fucking expensive.

>>21636649
TV is priced for retards in the first place, though. What you're paying for is a far weaker experience that you have to use some dumb app to watch.

I liked FujiTV back when it was free, but I'd certainly never pay a dime for it.

>>21636661
I'm only paying for it because I genuinely miss live TV and it will help with my studies a bit being able to have it on all the time.
Obviously just being able to pick a show and play it online whenever is better if you have something in particular you want to watch, but I just want it around for casual viewing while I'm working and shit.

Also how the fuck am I going to get actual Japanese cable installed in my house?
Obviously if a legitimate installation was an option I'd go for that over streaming, but I can't think of any alternatives to IPTV.

Are you sure you just aren't a NEET with no income? Cause 30 bucks a month is really nothing, its weird to me that you're so offended by the service.

Anyone know where I can download this? Importing it costs a wee bit too much!

>>21636661

>>21636913
did you sign up for avistaz when you had the chance?

>>21636940
I've got no idea what that is, my man.

>>21632423
Most of them have their secrets but I think it is only one or two that is the "mastermind" behind the murder chain.

>>21626400
yeah, japanese tend to like series and familiar characters. if you know a little about japanese tv you probably know there's this genre called 2-hour suspense represented by programs like tv asahi's 'doyo wide gekijo' (rip) and ntv's 'kayo suspense gekijo' (rip) where it's basically a new TV movie every week. a lot of them are series where you usually get one or two per year with the same main characters but a new case every time, and the most successful of these series have even more installments than tora-san: tv asahi's 'nishimura kyotaro travel mystery' reached 70 this year and has been going since the 80s

>>21626611
it wasnt really established as a series yet. 2 and 3 were kinda sequels to the first, and 4 was a 'reboot' so to speak

>>21618993
i'd rather watch all the really bad formulaic manga adaptations coming out these days instead of watch any of your self indulgent garbage movies ever again

I had to solve 6 captchas to post this.

Sorry for my newfaggotry when it comes to this subject, but what are good pirating/streaming sites when comes to Japanese, Korean and Chinese movies?

Movieninja and the like mostly have western shit and are not well-stocked in asian movies.

>>21637874
Check pastebin and pastebin's pastebin

>>21637874
Both kissasian.sh and dramacool.video have mainstream movies and some old ones. The pastebin has some links. but I havent checked that in a long time.

>When you have +175 japanese movies in your backlog
Goddamit, I should watch more japanese movies than just 1 per week.

I watched Kyoichiro Kaga's saga last movie, The Crimes That Bind. Was good and kinda reminded me of "The Castle of Sand" storytelling of the case. I suppose more people here liked Shinzanmono show and movies... r-right?

>>21639164
i tried to watch the shinzanmono drama when it was new but i really can't stand hiroshi abe in anything that he's been in, unfortunately

>>21639245
>i really can't stand hiroshi abe in anything that he's been in
You and I can't be friends.

>>21639245
wow, what a shit opinion

>>21639345
blow me, emiko

>>21639164
The only one I watch is Wings of the Kirin back then which I liked. By the way, what are the recommended Higashino adaptations?

>>21639245
>i really can't stand hiroshi abe in anything that he's been in
I’ve never thought I’d ever read something so outrageous like this.

recommend me something sad? looking to get into my feels. the most recent drama i saw was netflix’s “my husband won’t fit”. the entire show felt honest. from the mc’s work difficulties (especially with the kids), her relationship with her parents, and the main plot itself, the entire show felt real, like i could see this happening in real life.

>>21641204
Forget Me Not is sad and shit

>>21640261
Secret, Galileo, Suspect X and the chinese version of Miracles of the Namiya General just to see Jackie Chan.
Avoid the Miike version of Laplace's Witch, got panned everywhere.
Also lots of korean adaptations of Higashino work around

>>21641204
Smile

>>21641204
1987 Hachi-ko, Ballad of Narayama, Nobody Knows (Just watch any Kore-eda, he never did a bad film yet), The Blue Bird, Osorezan no onna, Ningen, Eien no hito, Muhomatsu no issho, Shiinomi Gakuen, Humanity and paper balloons
For more recent
If Cats Disappeared from the World (It hit me a bit), I want to eat your pancreas (I only watched the anime version tho),
With some sad parts
Harmonium, An, Midnight Diner, Sayonara Itsuka, Boys on the Run, Ototo, Departures, Tony Takitani

I tried to avoid classic directors beside Kore-eda from those which I liked and had sad things tho.

>>21643092
Why do japanese prefers horizonal posters than vertical posters? is because of Laserdisc influence? I hate horizontal ones.

>>21643162
I think you can find plenty of both. Maybe they use horizontal artwork for TV stuff more often since TV stuff already gets horizontal artwork made for websites and subway ads and shit, unlike movies which still get vertical artwork for actual physical posters.

ok I got a ゲオ membership card last week

>>21643413

so this fucker is the chosen one huh

this talentless hack who's always paired up with the top actors
fukuyama rarely does drama nowadays and it's wasted on this twink motherfucker
they also saddled up kagawa and told them both to overact and this prick still manages to show just how bad he is and he's the only one in this series that doesn't need to overact, he just needs to play the kind hearted cute kid and he fails
he even worked with tadanobu asano before this
please stop japan, he sucks
he sucked before in the "kazoku game" remake where they made him the main character instead of the little brother and you put him with sho sakurai and he still fucked it
people shouldn't have these many chances to blow

>>21652050
i mean it's fine that they wanted to shift the main troubled sibling in kazoku game from the younger one to the older one in the drama if they wanted to focus on the troubles older siblings have in today's family structure but they only did it to give this hack more screentime
none of it made sense

>>21609502
I take it back. The other 3 "promising" dramas? Into the trash they all collectively go. I just found out that the 3 (three) of them are all remakes of gook dramas.
No Side Game is it, then. I might also watch Yakiniku Pro-Wrestling, I like the cast.

>>21647293
>Saint Young Men live-action

YAMEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>21652050
I hope he gets phased out by other young actors. Even the ex-tokusatsu ones act better like Ryouma Takeuchi. Though I prefer this plain looking guy's acting.

>>21655362

>>21655368
Those ugly actors don't deseve the qts they get casting with. She can do better.

>>21647293
The Jesus guy is a cutie

>>21652762
This Yakuza show looks interesting. I think I'll also watch "Soaking Wet Private Detective Hagoromo Mizuno" because I like short 30 min dramas.
>>21655472
He's the original L in those Death Note movies.

>>21655407
i think he was intentionally chosen to be ugly/nerdy so dragonquest nerds could self-insert
i reiterate though, honda tsubasa is stunning

>>21655407
I can sorta understand because I do remember thinking something like this about porn when I was younger. I prefer him over a lot of ikemen hires though.

>>21654836
korea's taking risks and mass producing series with its wealth of talent, mixing and matching them up in different series and genres to brute force see what works and what doesn't while japan's been putting out stable and boring dramas for years which are similar to drama of the past
they still bring out edgy stuff, but the majority of people don't like/watch it
it's whatever i guess, the korean culture boom is in full force
in my university they had ~2000 students picking up japanese101 as an elective compared to around 150 students doing kor101, it's swung completely around now

Can you guys recommend me any Japanese movies that prominently feature typhoons and lots of rain? Could be a horror film or anything else

>>21652050
that you thought the kazoku game drama was worth a shit already makes you a brainlet arashi fangirl desu ne, that you thought kamiki was the worse actor between him and fucking sho makes me lose hope for the future

>>21655702
>Korea is the Netflix of the countries
damm

>>21655702
Kdrama are literally just Shoujo shit or medical shit or mystery bait, they are all garbage only enjoyed by teen girls, housewives and Homos. Also the reason people are getting into korean is because of kpop not kdramas.

>>21639164
Post your backlog. I need movies to watch too

>>21659177
But coffee prince...

>>21657082
i watched it because kazoku game was one of the first jp movies i watched (the one made in the 80s)
i expect nothing from the arashi/exile/SMAP boyband singers who think they can act but this kid is acting full time
good luck with your hate-hardon towards sakurai though, should see a doctor for that maybe

It's alright

Bros, watch Samurai Marathon when you can. It's pretty good for a samurai movie. Takeru Satoh is a samurai and a ninja.

>>21659177
Thats not the whole story i guess. Korean YouTube videos are always english subbed, japanese ones come without the subs quite often. So its more conveniant for me to watch kdrama.

>>21636673
30 dollars a month for tv is for retards. Deal with it.

>>21660110
this is due to koreans putting importance on smartphones, being able to watch stuff anywhere anytime on their samsung phones esp on trains where people are glued to their screens, walk over to the electronic gates and tap their phones to pay then continue watching which means more people are watching something all the time
in this regard japan is really stuck in the past, they don't have things outside where you can interact with using their smartphones so the only money they make with the ads is people at home watching drama on their TVs

>>21659856
the movie is among the best japanese movies of the 80s and yoshimitsu morita is really a criminally underappreciated director

>i expect nothing from the arashi/exile/SMAP boyband singers who think they can act but this kid is acting full time
kamiki is a full time actor but a lot of these johnny/LDH guys literally have a new drama whenever a new season rolls around, starring them and their lack of talent, and often ruining GOOD source material like 'family game'. (btw, if you can understand japanese, check out the two-part family game drama from the 80s, it reaired on CS maybe a year ago) kamiki might be a mediocre actor but i don't see him starring in shit as much

i don't hate sakurai, i just think it's ludicrous that you think he's the better actor of the two. seems to me like you have a hate boner for kamiki since you're so outraged about him getting roles

>>21652762
desu instead of remaking the awful korean 'voice' they shoulda remade the japanese 'voice' from a while back, since that drama would benefit a lot from not being-made-by-fuji-tv

>>21655407
no, I need to be able to self insert

>>21659860
Seems interesting. I wonder if it will ever be picked up by someone. Dramas with middle aged actors with no idols tend to be ignored.

When does Mayuyu show up on Natsuzora? I'm about to watch week 6, and Suzu just doesn't do it for me the same way.

>>21662383
week 10 i think

>>21664518
this drama feels like a lifetime ago

>>21666599
I pick my dramas based on how good the actors are.

I dunno if this is supposed to be a children's show, but I like it because of the surreal story and style.

>>21666599

>>21666911
japanese variety isn't supposed to be unstaged reality TV, people just assume that because they see the japanese as a moon race steeped in tradition and culture who would rather cut their bowels out than lie or act dishonestly

>>21630357
Looks like the same set used in Majisuka Gakuen.
Then again, there's certainly enough defunct schools around Japan.

>>21667559
i can't agree with this
there's no point in watching it otherwise if this is the mindset you have watching reality tv and i'm sure the producers/directors don't want to break kayfabe otherwise actual sincere/sentimental events or programs will mean nothing to the people watching it

>>21655702
I remember that era.
It was so easy for me to get into Korean class, and Japanese had an enormous waitlist.
I ended up being the only guy in the whole class of 50 people, the rest were all Chinese and Japanese girls who wanted to learn Korean.
Honestly I agree that Korean television has diversified a lot more recently, but their music industry has really declined since the second Hallyu wave. 09-11 was kind of the peak, and then they tried to internationalize way too hard. I think it succeeded financially but has really lowered the overall quality. BTS and Blackpink will be the death of K-Pop.
I also kinda miss the cheesy K-dramas back when they were more influenced by Japan. I watched Winter Sonata, Boys over Flowers, Secret Garden, Coffee Prince. That's probably why I tend towards Japanese television these days.

>>21667990
remember the trope where a teenage boy and girl were like alone in like the countryside or whatever and then she trips over and sprains her ankle (or some other plot device) and he ends up carrying her on his back
korean drama used the shit out of that to show that the female/male leads were childhood friends and fated to end up together
every single goddamn drama

anyway i've lost interest now

>>21668149
to begin with, what variety shows have you watched to make you bash every single variety show in japan?

>>21668228
no i replied to myself because i said interesting instead of entertaining which was the word he used
maybe he watched itteQ and got upset about the festival thing last year
but i think mainly he just doesn't want to waste his time on sub-kino forms of entertainment like us dumb folk, nothing wrong with that

>>21667023

This girl is 100% in love

>>21670251
i'm not feeling any strong basis for it though. you could assume the springboard was the competitive clash with risako, but the cameras haven't shown any worthwhile chemistry between her and kenny. she just seems like a fiery woman who covets things first and foremost.

>>21668228
i cant believe you guys are arguing about these awful garbage variety shows. i get that there's no point in me involving myself since i don't like them, but shit, i watch the cop dramas on tv asahi and when people are like "that shit is formulaic as hell and only japanese boomers like it", i really dont care since i like it. why do you feel the need to defend this variety garbage, literally the lowest form of tv entertainment there is?

Ultimately, given organized crime's majority shadow control of the Japanese entertainment industry since the aftermath of World War II, this pedofaggot's just a very higher-up. Don't forget Burning Production and its allies; if they implode, there will be an inevitable cataclysm.

Not him but they're usually outlets for members of well-known idol groups and talents with no current work lined up; also the state of variety show writing is getting staler and staler

Stop enjoying objectively inferior forms of entertainment

i want stardust to implode, desu

Any period dramas or historical Japanese movies that you can recommend and that are actually good?

I hope whatever you recommend has subtitles, because my japanese just isn't good enough to understand japanese tv without.

Gackt is my idol, not even ironically.

>>21674348
i really liked the nhk series 'ichiro' which is about sankin kotai, if you've ever heard of that

i also like 'hidamari no ki', an adaptation of tezuka's manga

>>21674544
Thank you, anon.

>>21674348
Try taiga dramas like Yae no Sakura and Atsu Hime.

I don't know much about japanese stuff, but I watched Prison School Live Action and All Esper Dayo and I've found them really funny.

I like the fact that they are hilarious but also perverted. Are there other dramas/movies like these two?

>>21674348
Nobunaga Concerto had an interesting take on Nobunaga's story.
>>21675820
Hentai Kamen. Yamada and the 7 witches is pretty funny though it isn't really lewd.

Can you give me a name?

Ad Natsuzora week 7 day 4, this shit warms my heart.

>>21677214
Japanese TVs have clock functions

>>21677221
all smart tv's nowadays have this function

>>21676832
The cast looks like a disaster and isn’t it based on a shoujo manga? Just thinking about this drama makes me want to vomit.

>>21679396
yeah, dori sakurada is an awful actor

I just watched Love and Fortune and I'm hungry for more /ss/.
What are the essential series?

>>21679396
I don't care, I love trashy Japanese TV shows. Plus the first episode had lots of action, Dori smoothly seducing Haruka and knowing when to pause and then to continue to make her comfortable

>>21679598
Maho no jouken and Chugakusei Nikki

i'd rather watch the news

I just realized she was the lead in Good morning call. Thats why she was so familiar in 3 nen A gumi.

Satomi's new show is like a sitcom similar to Gakeppuchi Hotel.

>>21688955
How good is it?

>>21616526
Wish i could have time to watch jp movies

>>21691923
So far, the acting isn't as cartoonish as GH, and it has some funny scenes. Nothing melodramatic has appeared yet. Maybe next episode.

>>21683899
I haven't watched Saru Lock yet, but I have downloaded it a while ago. I can share that too if anyone is interested.

That was interesting episode from gaki. It feels good to know they still have bunch of original ideas for the TV regulars, unlike the annual one.

JAP here (Japanese also pleb). I haven't found the past year particularly fun either.

>>21696050
Usually I watch 3 episodes of a show then decide if I should drop it. The first episode of Lupin no Musume isn't funny.

>>21696458
>The first episode of Lupin no Musume isn't funny.
I could conclude that by merely reading the title of the drama.

Just watched this. I have very conflicting thoughts about it. I happen to like and dislike it as they had the bollocks to go with the bittersweet end but I was rooting for the main character to get the girl.

New challenger appears.

>>21616526
who's that? MUR?

>>21700459
all the girls in this show belong in the looney house

>>21697906
I think it's a decent movie. I like how the movie takes its time to tell the story. Though I don't really see this as a romance, more like a youth movie. And the female lead's acting is wooden except for some parts.

And this dude has always been a good actor.

Just watched the new Gaki episode. The drone MV looks fun as heck. Based Fujiwara.

Also, I also realized that this year is the 40th anniversary of Kinpachi-sensei. There are so many milestone anniversaries for TV series in 2019.

It only started airing in theaters on June 30, so the DVD/Blu-ray will come out (and get on the torrent trackers) after 18 months, around January 2021.

>>21702689
seems this guy already watched it though >>21702666

It's actually a remake of the taiwan movie.

>>21704480
But that manga is a complete and utter shit. What happens when bad shoujo manga gets bad adaptations

>>21704480
I won't knock you for your tastes as long as you admit it's garbage.

I expected it to be worse. The story directly about the main character was rather weak, but the background was a typical Yakuza movie. It also fulfils the main requirement of every Japanese movie as it has a nippon qt.

1/ calm your tits
2/ learn japanese
3/ watch an actually good ikeido jun drama like some of the ones made by nhk and wowow

>>21710093
>3/ watch an actually good ikeido jun drama like some of the ones made by nhk and wowow
Is it not good? I just assumed it was good because it's an Ikeido drama and the cast is quite formidable.

There is no comfy Gakuen drama this season?

>>21710113
>>21710093
It's not a bad show, it's just not the usual thriller kino you'd expect from him. As an underdog sports drama, it's fine and I'm enjoying it.

>>21710113
It's pretty good, sports + office politics. I liked how the casts are mostly manly males than the usual pretty boy actors they employ.

i'm liking watashi teiji de kaerimasu quite a lot

For some reason, I just remember this. Damn, time really flies.

>>21714842
That is the main point and the attraction of the Asadora since day 1, big brain.

>>21714860
Look up who will be the lead in 102th. (It's not the first time, but it is rare.)

>>21714879
I did. What seems to be the problem here?

>>21715034
He is not a qt female?

>>21715047
>Implying

>>21711305
Is that Mayuyu on the left

>>21715034
Kubota is the best actor in his age group. Glad he's getting more roles.

Has anyone her seen Yurigokoro? How is it?

Daigoro was the dawn of an aborted golden age of idol drama.
It's still 100% an idol drama though. The other one was meh. I haven't watched hibiki yet but I've read good things about it here.

>>21716328
>>21718459
I like him too (Bokutachi ga Yarimashita was good), but this is not what I want from my Asadoras. Put him in Taiga or just as a love interest but not the lead itself.

>>21718014
>>21719021
That's Kakei Mikawo not Hirate Yurina.
Image is from Anata no Ban Desu where she is acting as the nurse.

>>21722351

RIP Ameagari Kesshitai

Miyasako reportedly is to retire from entertainment business and thus breaking up the duo with Hotohara.

>>21702282

>>21722351
Is that Nishino Nanase? Where is this from?

>>21724015
Read the post you're replying to

>>21720542
why not? i mean, to be honest, i'm definitely not a fan of asadora as i said since the last one i enjoyed was like 15 years ago. so i'm glad the predictable format is going to get a bit of a shakeup

>>21720542
>>21724682
and honestly i wouldn't really watch a taiga with him, unless it was like 'idaten' and set in more modern times. the taiga brand of overly reverent historical drama doesn't really grab me, i prefer the torimonocho/samurai detective series when it comes to jidaigeki

What's a good site to search for top J-movies/drama, sorted by rating? Japanese sites are fine too.

Mydramalist has broken tag searching for some reason. If I search suspense+mystery together only two movies with zero ratings/reviews pop up.

Survival Family any good?

I'm only 12 minutes into The Dark Maidens, but fuck, this has to be some of the worst acting I have ever seen. I don't think I can do it.

>>21725212
You only watch that for the cute girls.

Women are evil.

>>21724682
Asadoras are for watching cute girls. Nothing more, nothing less.
>>21724693
The whole point of Taiga is to be historical. Though I agree that he would fit more modern one more.

>>21725250

It's on the filename. Love Disease (2018).

It seems people support Miyasako and despise Yoshimoto. That surprised me.

>>21728622
Well unless I really misunderstood the whole situation they really didn't know what they were getting themselves into while Yoshimoto said everything's fine. When Miyasako and others found out that they fucked up they went to Yoshimoto who told them to keep their mouths shut and 2 weeks later Yoshimoto just casually throws them under the bus saying that Miyasako and the others are entirely at fault. It's a no brainer on who to support. Did I get that right?

>>21731434
>sad because Fujitv/ForJoytv plugin is no longer aviable I have reduced my options.
I'll never be not mad at this. Fucking reddit just had to spam about the site and the script fucking everywhere for their shitty upvotes. Some fuckwads even made youtube tutorials on it. Though the site creators were retarded as well for naming themselves FujiTV in the first place. At least there's still Sakura and that other Japanese something but no free TV unfortunately.

Yes, I mean, if you are company providing japanese tv channels, how the fuck you don't know there is a fuji tv there to begin with?

>>21735087
Matsumoto (he’s part of Yoshimoto) went live on Wide na Show after their press conference and condemned Yoshimoto’s actions against them. He even said remarks like “I would not want to return to such company”. Apparently he talked to Yoshimoto’s president and the president even appeared on the show in a recorded video declaring that he’s gonna do a presser tomorrow to address the whole situation. Within the agency the talents themselves took Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with Yoshimoto. Matsumoto even tweeted that his kouhais are very worried and restless over this whole thing.

>>21735249
Also he (with Sanma and Higashino) showed support to Miyasako and Tamura. He even hinted that he wants to manage them instead of Yoshimoto.

>>21735249
>>21735087
Yoshimoto could be involved in that scam company.
Okamoto fucked up so hard and he wouldn't dare to stop Matsumoto because without Downtown now bigger than Yoshimoto themself.

>>21735277
Welp i need to rest.

>>21735249
The live Wide na Show made me like Matsumoto even more.

Kato who is also under Yoshimoto went ballistic on Sukkiri this morning over the Yoshimoto ordeal. He even said that what Okamoto did is power harassment and he threatened that he will quit the company if they don't change and fix their shit.

I remember someone collecting data for a recommendation chart many months ago, did that ever happen?

>>21740455
Yes. It's ridiculously hilarious.

>>21739755
He retracted the termination of their contracts and he will cut his salary by 50% for a year. I wonder if they are gonna come back there. Matsumoto did say he’d personally manage and take care of the talents who are in odds with the higher up but that’s a simple damage control tactic.

I'm looking for some horror anthology shows to watch. I've watched Kaidan Shin Mimibukuro and honto ni atta kowai hanashi. Don't mind it being cheesy. Movies are also fine I've only watched the mainstream ones like the grudge and the ring.

>>21739755
>>21741203
>damage control
wew lad. Doesn't Yoshimoto also take 90% comedian's performance fee? Okamoto admitting to threatening them and then saying it was "merely a joke lmao" is a joke in itself. Him cutting his pay in half for a year does fuck all when he's most likely earning thousands and is already loaded. And he brushed everything else off like nothing happened. He should've honestly resigned. Fuck him and fuck the Japanese entertainment industry. While I like a lot of stuff about Japan and the media they produce their entertainment industry is just straight fucked.

>>21741696
Apparently there are people who still support Okamoto's decision though.
