Thank you Mr. Kitano

>>22612951
Man, I had almost forgotten about this.
So we're getting a special in January and season 2 in April?

Any news about any interesting New Year's Eve variety shows other than Gaki Batsu Game Special?

Happy holidays movie and tv general

>>22614005
The usual, 紅白 and SASUKE.

>>22613123
Yes.
Anyone planning to re-watch the first season before the SP or the second season start? I'm gonna do it tomorrow.

>>22614005
I'm looking forward to Kakutsuke Check. This year Kiryuuin from Golden Bomber is in Gackt's team which should be interesting, as I doubt he has the same expensive tastes as Gackt.

>>22615196
He said New Year’s Eve not New Year’s Day.

>>22615205
My bad.

An anon in the previous thread was kind enough to offer me an invite to avistaz, sorry, for the late reply. If you happen to read this and the offer still stands I would like to take you up on it.

Literally just watched this a few days ago. It's really good.

>>22614151
This year's Kohaku lineup is pretty much shit, the only exciting things are 80's glam metal collab unit YoshiKISS and King Gnu.

>>22616846
>This year's Kohaku lineup is pretty much shit
That's every year since 2010.

>>22616871
Last year's Southern All Stars performance was honestly the only great thing from Kohaku this decade.

Hard pass. Then again it’s always like this so no loss.

>>22615879
Can't wait. I hope one of the lesser-known/unknown kombis win this year, I loved how Shimofuri Myojo rose to stardom after their win last year, they earned the huge exposure they received this year.

>>22615879
I can't wait. Wonder if Wagyuu will win the haisha fukkatsu sen.
The M-1 is the only thing on Japanese tv I wish I had a reliable stream for.
Is mov3 still the best one available?

>>22615841
Alright, send an email address you will remember.
>>22614858
Maybe my hazy memory is inflating the number, but aren't there a lot of spirit/creature/whatever as a woman in a red dress in Japanese horror films? Kiyoshi Kurosawa I remember put one in 降霊 and 叫び (maybe 回路 too, I don't remember), but I remember instances of them in works going back to the early 90's.

>>22616846
I will still watch it just to see what and who is popular at the moment

>>22617595
Only a tiny fraction of the current popular acts attend Kohaku, in this years lineup the only current popular acts are Hige dandism, Hoshino Gen, Masaki Suda and King Gnu, a total of 4 among over 40 acts.

Getting "stalled" in qbittorrent on a couple things I've tried from avistaz. They do have seeders, so I'm not sure what's up. Anyone an idea?

>>22621135
What version are you on?

>>22622275
3.2.5

Torrents from other sites work though

looking for a tv show i read about years ago that was set in a sushi restaurant and the owner talks to the locals who come on and helps their problems(?)

>>22621135
I don't remember, but there might be a handicap placed on new members that will limit what you can download at some capacity. Read through the information section on the site. If you're new to using private torrent sites, one trick for them is to first download really big torrents that are somewhat popular and are marked as not being counted to your download ratio. In avistaz case I think it's a yellow star. Leave your torrent client up for a bulk of the day and some days/weeks later you should be plenty fortified in upload credit to allow you to freely use the site from there forward without being snagged by any penalties.

>>22623346

Thanks

Watched the first episode of Hiiragi's Classroom. I liked it a lot. The presentation and music are superb. The actor of Hiiragi is amazing and Kayano's is pretty good too. I like how the show doesn't hold back any punches, at first I thought he was just gonna scare them, teach them a life lesson and then turn himself in. But then he actually killed someone.

Also I noticed the writer, Shogo Muto, worked on Kazoku Game. I loved that one too and I can definitely see the similarities. Has anyone watched All About My Siblings or The Mysterious Thief Yamaneko? Those seem to be his other high rated drama, wondering if they are as good as well.

I was rooting for Kamaitachi, but i guess Milkboy deserve it.
I don't understand why Wagyu lost to that kombi though.

M-1 was great this year.

>>22627224
I actually laughed more at ぺこぱ than 和牛, but I feel like if they switched places with 和牛, then it would be 和牛 in the final.
I'm sad about かまいたち but have no complaints about ミルクボーイ's victory. They deserved it.

>>22626788
>Watched the first episode of Hiiragi's Classroom. I liked it a lot
not to discourage you or anything, but I did not like the ending of this show. I loved watching Nagano Mei though. She is a promising young actress.

>>22627226
I got the results spoiled for me so I couldn't enjoy the other kombis' manzai. I just skipped it all and watched the final round.
Too bad Kamaitachi didn't win, I was favoring them this year.

>>22628616
Watch Milkboy's first round skit, it was hilarious.

>>22628684
After I watch テレビ千鳥SP. I'm planning to watch all the finalists' manzai.

>>22628743
I'll be watching that later.
I watched the m-1 post show 反省会 thing instead, which 千鳥 did again this year.
It's kind of insane just how much 千鳥 is on tv.

Where are you guys watching these Christmas/New Year specials? Live TV?
Do official TV streaming sites ignore that you're a filthy gaijin if you buy the subscription?

>>22628798
3rd episode of 仮スマ動画 aired today.

>>22629006

Thought it was a down M1, but at least there were some new faces and no one bombed. I think 和牛 will eventually get the 笑い飯 treatment and win one they're not supposed to win to make up for all the ones they should have, but that said I thought they weren't as good as usual this year, maybe they were saving their best for the finals. Dunno about milkboy winning as newcomers with basically the same ネタ twice in a row but they did have the best first round, and the other finalists weren't especially great either. I think I've agreed with Matsumoto's vote almost every year, but that usually ends up being the group that doesn't win.

Now that the fall season is over and the year is about to end, what dramas did you guys watch. Which one of them you liked and you can recommend?
I wanna start downloading them to marathon them over the holidays.

>>22628798
Chidori could truly be the next Downtown at this point.

>>22633708
Haken Uranaishi Ataru (Shit)
Anata no Ban Desu (Recommended)
Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita (Highly Recommended)
Rika (Recommended)
Nippon Noir (Meh)
Overall not that good of a year but not too bad. 2018 was better.

>>22633736
They could be. I can't think of another conbi who is more popular than Chidori but less influential than Downtown today.

They're quite different in a lot of ways though. Chidori is better at tsukkomi in variety shows like Aiseki Shokudou and at working as a pair. Downtown rely on the people around them more, but their catalog is formidable.

Downtown have had a pretty rocky relationship at times, whereas Chidori are from what I understand, best friends who spend all their time together. I think 10 years from now Chidori's career will have followed a very different trajectory to Downtown.

>>22633752
>Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita (Highly Recommended)
What do you like about it? The synopsis sounds really boring.

>>22633865
I'm not sure what you read but the drama is more than a woman who became an idolfag. There's psychology, there's thrill, there's a crime. Watch it to find out.

The Gunjisan kino will be back on the menu in 2020.

>>22634873
Good news

>>22633752
>Rika (Recommended)
Is this even subbed?

>>22633708
I watched a handful from this year but the ones that really entertained me were Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita, Channel wa sonomama, and Naked Director. Dakara... was surprisingly good. I thought it would just be a thriller drama from the first episode, but it was something else that was full of feels.

I read somewhere that this show and Nippon noir are set in the same universe.

>>22646138
Yeah it's an user comment on asianwiki. Supposedly set 6 months after. Has anyone watched it?

Kaede ;_;
save her kurochan

>>22646178
10 bucks says right after firing Kurochan and having his bullshit revealed, she'll be added to the group. It makes for a good talking point.

Of course Kuro-chan won't get any girl.

Still though, as a single man looking for love myself, I feel it.

>>22646198
Being labelled as an alternative idol group, it won't be one without Kuro-chan tagging though.

Wow, they sell quite well.

>>22646277
This show is huge, there was no way this wasn't hitting number 1.

>>22646256
Sure, but people want to see him get punished more than they care about the future of the group.

>Kuro-chan having a new year's eve live event
He is thriving.

RIP Kuro-chan.

>>22646319
Also, you win again, media propaganda.

Kuro-chan should also personally thank 23,828 folks who buy the red cover.

Dunking him in an ice bath is gold at least. Looks like they're not dumb enough to repeat the debacle from last year.

Anyone else finding it hard to believe? It felt so scripted towards the end.

Kaede! Happy for her

>>22646340
The whole audition was obviously scripted from the start.

>>22646340
>It felt so scripted
>anything airing on TV but pro sports
Ya think? They manipulated the CD result well to get this outcome that fits the script.

>>22646340
It's TV, buddy. It became pretty obvious they were adding Kaede when she had a filmed meeting with Nao.

>>22646353
It seemed scripted at the beginning but I was willing to suspend my disbelief. At the end I couldn't even suspend disbelief. There's no way that Kurochan and the girls didn't have everything planned out for them.

Heard the final ep for this finally aired. Anyones thoughts on it?

Hiiragi's Classrom done.

Absolutely amazing finale. I loved it so much. Now there's a lot of holes throughout the story that you can poke at, but I don't care because it stuck the landing brilliantly. This show is a pure appeal at emotion - and it is self aware of that. Most people will dismiss its message and just go about their lives like they always have, but I think some few people will be able to find deep resonance within it. Especially 4chan users / people who write mean comments on the internet or have in the past. Also it's just really freaking fun from start to finish and doesn't have any slow bits. I highly recommend watching this if you haven't.

Oh and as a side note, man do the subtitles lessen the impact of the speech in the end. He's just talking for a few minutes with these chat messages showing up on the screen, so the subs end up covering the entire fucking screen. Luckily I know Japanese so I could turn them off, but surely there was a better way to handle this.

>>22646395

Everything Kuro-chan does seems suspiciously like acting. He’s brilliantly sleazy though. Not sure about how they get him drunk - when he is supposedly diabetic. Thinking VR headset is real and trying to touch the girls, am I dead in field of flowers lol etc. That location I’m sure has been in numerous dramas where guys get shot down. I thought everyone except him were actors at first.

Kaede stunning but miyuki the cutest. None are really idol tier. Least of all the brace face.

>>22647412
Forgot to add, please recommend me stuff with Masaki Suda in it. His performance was really great and I'm seeing now that he is in a ton of other series and movies. Are there any other roles where he plays charismatic characters like this?

>Gonna appear on CDTV
I'm glad they made MONSTER IDOL just to kick off this new idol group. 100% gonna follow them from now on.

>>22646146
I watched it. The students appear on the show and they reference the incident in the last episode.

Their new producer was exposed as a power harassing piece of shit. Not sure if real or acting though.

someone take the decision making off my shoulders and tell me what the best 3/5 things here are

https://pastebin.com/WcGL1VFR

>>22651621
You've got so much trash in your drama list. Did you even do any research on them? Aside from, "Japan liked it".
Anyways, watch Cold Fish, Adrift in Tokyo, and Departures.

>>22651865
what is "trash"? it's all highly rated things / recommendations from this thread

>>22652216
Not him but they are trash in the sense that they lack good acting and good scripting/storytelling. Sure they are highly rated but that's because the cast is popular (e.g the lead is a janiizu idol or a cute actress who can't act for shit) not because of the quality of the drama. Popular dramas or dramas that gain high viewer ratings tend to have ham actors and cliche stories, if you want truly good dramas go check who wrote them, who directed them and who is acting.

>>22652315
and who is this "they"

>>22651621
I think you just need to watch at your own pace. It's not a race or anything. Pick a show or a movie depending on your mood. For me, I'd say Unnatural or Samurai Marathon for a comfy holiday watch.

>>22652406
Most of the dramas in that pastebin.

>>22652447
ok so youre just a shitposter who hates everything, got it

>>22657943
This show is pretty good. Maybe try the director's other shows like Aoi Honoo, Tenma san ga yuku, Yuusha Yoshihiko, Kyo kara Ore wa, or Saint Oniisan.

Are dramas produced by the main commercial national TV networks (excluding TV Tokyo) worth watching anymore?
For more than a decade now, the sweeping majority of their dramas are cliché and repetitive with the same exhausted portraying of the same-old themes which most of the times are repressed and conservative.
Meanwhile, dramas made by subscription based networks like the private satellite channel WOWOW TV and the streaming service provider Netflix or Amazon Video tend to have more freedom and liberty, covering more themes wider and deeper. For example, Naked Director. That drama singlehandedly made me realize how shallow the national TVs' dramas are.

>>22659391
I'm not a drama fan but I think the "compliance" culture of TV since the 2000s has a lot to answer for. Nowadays they're too shy to cover risqué topics or be edgy because of complaints and advertisers threatening to pull their endorsement.

Back in the shōwa or even early heisei era variety shows were far edgier. Porn stars got their tits out on TV while comedians motorboated them. Stunts were much more dangerous.

Take Documental on Amazon Prime for example. While it can be hit or miss, there's no way stuff like Kasuga putting the curry toy under his foreskin and pushing it out or Akiyama nearly jerking off Kenkoba would fly on network TV.

>>22656757
>>22658100
Reminds me of My Boss, My Hero.

This was a fun ride despite all its flaws.
Is there any other shows like this? One with a criminal mastermind? Most mystery dramas are case of the week format.

I recently watched 'Before we Vanish' and 'Foreboding' and plan to watch Tokyo Sonata. Which other Kurosawa Kiyoshi works should I check out?

Also, does one have to watch Sono Sion's 'Suicide circle' before 'Noriko's dining table?' to understand the latter?

>>22668568
>does one have to watch Sono Sion's 'Suicide circle' before 'Noriko's dining table?' to understand the latter?
You should definitely watch Suicide Circle first. Suicide Circle is a good place to start when it comes to Sono anyway.

>>22668568
>I recently watched 'Before we Vanish' and 'Foreboding' and plan to watch Tokyo Sonata. Which other Kurosawa Kiyoshi works should I check out?
Cure, Pulse, Creepy. Tokyo Sonata is nice look into Japanese society.

I'm watching. Starting to feel more optimistic.

What are some good modern themed horror movies? Also any good historical Japan themed movies?

Hey /jp/, f̶i̶r̶s̶t second time posting on this pathetic board, but I need your help: can you recommend me some nice Nipponese movies set during the summer?

This is the best time to watch Japanese tv. There are so many variety shows.

First thing I'm doing every morning is queueing up all the shows I wanna watch. Too bad my hard disk can only record two shows at a time.

lol gackt

would be funny if gackt went full poorfag

Did Gackt or Kiryuuin shave their heads?

Uika has been secretly married since 2015

sounds like a segment from ougon densetsu. you can find one series here: conjyak (dot) com

Hanzawa Naoki SP airing tomorrow, anyone planning to watch it?

>>22708837
Literally everybody

>>22708837
I re-watched the first season 2 weeks ago to prepare myself for this day.

Terrace house sucks

>>22709650
It's complete shit. I don't know how it got so popular.

>>22709650
>>22709665
I thought I was in the minority. I knew it sucked even before it got popular in the west. Don't know how long ago it was, probably the first one, I just switched it off.

>>22709681
Probably got popular in the West because weebs find the most quotidian shit exciting if it's FROM JAPAN!!!

>>22707086
I think it's too peculiar to have something really similar. Maybe try Tonde Saitama, Dance with Me or Hibiki.

>>22709681
All of them are rich af, "dude I need to find a job lmao" what a bunch of lies.

>>22709650
>>22709681
BGND is pretty good desu, the latter seasons shat the bed by focusing too much on the drama and romance, the members also were more selfish and on gaurd.

>>22710259
Who gives a shit, that whole franchise is trashy american tv with a japanese coat of paint. But I guess it's okay when japan does it.

>>22708837
How do you watch airing Japanese TV?

>>22708837
Will do the moment the subs are out.
Given how legendary Hanzawa Naoki is I'm hoping someone will picks it up instantly.

The Hanzawa Naoki spinoff was pretty good.
Not as strong as S1 but impressive considering it was comprised essentially entirely of new characters. Things got pretty Hanzawa-Naoki-ish towards the end.
I'm now hyped for S2. I think I'll rewatch S1 before April.
Hearing this again gave me goosebumps:

The FAQ points to WIP rec list, and Jin (2009) is the only sci-fi show listed. I have also seen K-tai Investigator 7, and a bunch of Kamen Rider/Super Sentai/Ultraman sci-fi heavy seasons.
What other sci-fi tv/movies am I missing?

I'm watching this show with Matsuko where they give girls from the sticks expensive things and film them for 50 days. What's the objective here? It seems the more fashionable the girl gets the more Matsuko freaks out.

>>22717184
japanese tv is not exactly the best place to look for scifi, but here are some things to consider

Laplace's Witch 2018
Shin Godzilla 2016
Watashi wo Hanasanaid 2016
Brain Man 2013
Gantz 2011

>>22717804
Thanks.

This genre on tv is few.

Can't have a gaki without old men shoving things up their ass after all.

Any good horror movies from last year?

I've seen a bit of the first season of Terrace House and now with that Tokyo 19-20 on Netflix I decided to give it another go. God damn, Hana is co cute.

I've just watched Gaki no Tsukai Spy game. What song are they parodying in the ending?

>>22712087
Was it picked by someone? I'm dying to watch it.

>>22722449
No and I don’t think anyone will ever sub it.

>>22722878
Are there Japanese subtitles?

>>22722878
But why? I thought Hanzawa Naoki was a popular drama.

>>22724737
It's 2020, people don't fan translate anymore. You might have autists here or there doing things but streaming changed everything. That's why most of us here are boomers, looking at the rec list, that ended up learning the language in the end.

>>22724233

Thanks. The SP doesn't seem to be on avistaz, where'd you guys get it from?

>>22724863
I don't know if the subs match but there's one in this torrent.

>>22724913
Please if anyone tested the JP subs with the nyaa version tell us if it works.

>>22724913
>>22724969
The subs are indeed synched. I might make ENG subs if enough people want them and no one else put them out in about a week.

>>22725010
You'll save us English-only shiiters. I was gonna watch it raw but I'll wait if you decide to sub it.

>>22725010
don't do it, let the eops suffer

>>22725010
I hope you will consider it.

How do you guys like new KimuTaku?

>>22732963
Is the SP good?

>>22733025
It's ok.

Wait... did I interpret this scene correctly? She whored herself out on cam to get the money/tickets for Hana?

>>22733532
Yes

>>22733559
Is the show gonna... touch on it at all? It kinda just flew over it in the episode and made it seem like it wasn't a big deal to her.

>>22732963
I'm watching it later.
>>22733607
> it seem like it wasn't a big deal to her.
She became a very obsessed fan. Everything is mostly resolved at the last episode. Great show in my opinion.

>>22725010
Yes please. I couldn't wait for subs so I tried watching it, 5 minutes in and I didn't understand anything.

>>22733532
I just completed this drama and it’s really great. It kept me on my toes so many times.

>>22656171
I watched this Stand Up drama to see what’s all the memes are about and I liked it. I see why people here meme about it but it has a nostalgic feel, it reminded me of the first time I watched a Japanese drama, it had kinda the same setting and watching it took my back to those days.

The winter dramas season is starting in 2 days, which dramas caught your eye?
I wanna watch Shiranakute Ii Koto.

>>22739571
I'm interested in the following
Kotaki Kyoudai to Shikuhakku
Hamura Akira
Karera wo Mireba Wakaru Koto
10 no Himitsu
Haven't decided which drama I'm gonna watch yet but it's gonna be two of the aforementioned.

two best girls.

>>22739571
Minami Hamabe's dorama. Haven't checked the trailers for this season, so don't really know.

Kanna has a weight yoyo problem. Girl gets fat as fuck sometimes.

I guess this show will be like a "battle royale" parody.

How was episode 1?

>>22746262
>How was episode 1?
Nothing really has happened yet just character introductions because it's just a 24 min show.

Is Ikeda Eliza popular?

>>22743000
Based

>>22748699
50 50

>>22748699
why do you care?

Why is it so difficult to find Raise de wa Chanto Shimasu online? Rio Uchida is pretty popular, so you'd think it wouldn't take thattt long to pop up somewhere.

>>22750827
As in no download links/torrents or online streaming?

>>22750835
Either. Admittedly, I'm new to this general--the faq wasn't very helpful and since I live in Japan, I can usually just watch the dramas on TV, but the time slot is wayy too inconvenient. Do you have any idea/suggestions as to where to look?

>>22750880
It's because no one has ripped it yet. Check nyaa after a day or two. Every new show has been added there for a while now.

I would like to highly recommend 今日も嫌がらせ弁当. It's fun, has appropriate amount of seriousness, lacks most of the shitty typical Japanese cliches, and the characters are easy to empathize with.

>>22647377
Caught the final episode while visiting GF in tokyo. Didn't seem that interesting desu.

Meme actress.

Whatever happen to the site that streamed live jp tv even had a schedule think it was called takuotaku or something along those lines.

>>22751139
Gonna watch it now that I've finished watching Diner (2019). That movie didn't impress me aside from being stylish.

>>22751139
But the girl on top is way too ugly.

Holy shit crazy insect eating woman on night scoop. She fried a giant kabutomushi alive and ate it. Now eating grubs.

>>22684771
Not really what you asked for, but it's on Netflix Japan with closed captioning

>>22751139
Nice movie. Kyoko Yoshine was cute. And the mother was as fine as her role like in House where the Mermaid sleeps.

Gackt and Uika are on Subernai Hanashi tonight.

Tatsuya Fujiwara was great on Downtown Now last night.

>>22724779
I think the biggest reason is that people are using phones more than PCs these days and it's difficult to sub on phones.

It also takes so much time to sub. I'm not sure which part's the biggest timesink but it's either repeating a part many times trying to understand some mumbled line or just hundreth of a second precise timing of the subbed lines. Then at the end of the day no one remembers the subber if the subber doesn't otherwise write on a blog or something. This is why all boomer subbers have moved on, they just don't have the time.

>>22762437
Yep. Subbing is incredibly laborious and there's no real financial rewards or accolades other than the occasional "thx for subs."

If I had all the time in the world, I'd sub, but between work and raising a family, there's no way that I'd spend my remaining valuable time do what is essentially unpaid work.

>>22762437
>>22762477
People are just spoilt from being able to pirate anime subs for no charge. If people want their obscure stuff to be subbed, pay money and it will be subbed. Nothing is in danger of not being subbed - the moment you decide to actually offer something in reward for their time it will be done. But people, especially in the Japanese media community, are entitled and want everything for free.

Imagine being a half-black japanese in a cultural contest tv show.
I mean, they just put blacks there to laught at them, aren't they?

DakaOshi episode 6.

Holy shit. This was incredibly hard to watch. I legitimately had to pause the episode every few seconds past a point because the tension was too high. I really liked that character, so seeing them slowly breakdown and get exposed in front of everybody was just really difficult to endure.

>>22763716
>I legitimately had to pause the episode every few seconds past a point because the tension was too high
I remember watching this too and putting off watching the next episode until the next day. The story is too engrossing.

>>22762437
Subbers have moved on because, one, it's the kind of thing only dumb college students generally do, and two, the very easy material that 99% of all sub projects were based around is now freely available through simulcasts. Live action shows are generally much longer, and less popular overseas.

>>22762670
It's the same problem with a lot of the arts based fields, lots of people seriously expect artists to draw their requests for free because there's just so much art available out there for free.

The real problem with offering payment for subs is that it's a field with literally zero barrier to entry. The second people start paying for translations, inevitably all the slack will be taken up by ESLs who are willing to work for pennies because they're just pumping it through google translate and cleaning up the gibberish.

>>22635945
I completed watching everything on your list, thank you very much. My favorite was Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita. It was very deep and impactful. Hana was so cute (and I cursed her at times).
Haken Uranaishi Ataru was comfy. I'm not sure if it's because the lead actress' acting was cute or the setting of the drama but I enjoyed it.

I will ask for recommendations by the end of 2020. Until then, everyone, please watch as many of dramas as you can lol.

I need an odd couple romance drama or movie.
Watched Dating: What's It Like To Be In Love? years ago and the Ore Monogatari adaption.
Could use something like those. A bitter sweet love story that ends well.

>>22768822
Tokyo Tarareba Musu--
>ends well
Ah, nevermind

I really loved Linda Linda Linda, any recs for similar films?

>>22768822
Is Chugakusei Nikki odd enough?

Otherwise, Long Vacation and Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu

Is there an archive of Gottsu Ee Kanji episodes? It's mostly pre-internet so I don't have high hopes that they've all been digitized. but whatever is available would be good.

Speaking of early 90s, any of you lads ever watched Ugo Ugo Ruuga? The most fucking insane children's show that has ever existed. The uploads on YouTube get taken down a lot, but they're honestly like nothing I've ever seen.

If you type the name in Katakana you'll find a lot of reups of full episodes.

This is pretty weird, lol.

>>22770899
This is fucking awesome, have looked for more clips and I know I would love this show more if I knew Japanese. Feels very proto-Pop Team Epic. Pizzicato Five did music for this show? Fucking amazing. Plus it somehow got De La Soul to show up for an episode.
