Japanorama - Season 1 Episode 1 Part 1

[nismo451]

love see older guy with all those toys is beautiful thing

[thezec]

theme tune is Zundoko Bushi

[EbonyDollable]

jonathan ross is legend !!

[hectorg96]

what year was this made?

[CroMarduk]

is there any real documentary on Japan, by real I mean about Japan's history, their folk tales and such, and not about nonsense like this.

[MrVinushka]

Decent show. It'd be better if it hadn't been uploaded with a calculator, though.

[MrTokyoIsh]

the song at 2:25 is S-Word - Kross Ova ( def jam jpn era ) for those of you wondering.

[FaireXIII]

Holy shiii....ULTRAMANN!!!! :D

[sweetmay73]

combining my two favorite cultures ... :D ahhh~

[iharu4]

ジャンプして股間に直からのーこれはチブル星人ですww

[sakurapikuseruchan]

KIYOSHI xD that was about the only bit I paid attention to. I had Zundoko stuck in my head for the rest~~

ずん、ずん、ずん、ずんどこ～～

[TCTriangle]

Tiga was always my fave... They had awesome budgets compared to most children's shows.

[Nicky131Popstar]

Hate the prick but looks like a good show.

[9kurita9]

This is weird because most of the people in this film are Chinese ，not Japanese except the singer.

[howchildish]

when i was watching ultraman at a small age, i alwasythought to myself "how the hell can then keep rebuilding the city and where the hell did they get all the money from?"

[proxyeva]

was this ever released in the united states ?

[mecampbellesq]

"what has Bob the builder have that ultraman is lacking? Can somoene please explain that to me?"

the best line in this entire series!

[Skadeedah]

@mecampbellesq Ultraman's better dressed than Godzilla, lol!

[alexsteb]

interesting that I as a non-native English speaker would have never figured out he has a speech impediment.. It's just cuz somebody told me :/

[akissy]

Why do Japanese girl always sound like they are sobbing or in pain in hentai and pr0n? I have loads of male friends and many like those things, but they always complain about that. And I've never understood why do they sound like that. ._. Does anybody know?

[Laurentiu909]

@akissy who knows man, who knows, and it's kinda annoying .

[akissy]

@Laurentiu909 I'm a girl XD And it IS annoying. XD

[Laurentiu909]

@akissy Only because you are not asian, I'am sure they must enjoy it a lot, not that I  have anything against it... :D

[Rauratest]

@akissy As an Asian, I must say many Asian men seem to love that! It's a bit of sexism involved--women act like virgins and crying when having sex but still want more because they are weaker than men and easily controlled. So a lot of guys who like Japanese porn hate Western porn because the women in there howl like wolves and being aggressive.

[moonlightsparkles]

@EbsNhexz I agree with you, he is so passionate about Japan and we can see that.What a great show. Wozzy did a good thing with this.

[Strekoza]

Yeah, But what's that instrumental song playing 0:00-0:14? :(((

[lunachi007]

the host is always dressed strange, like willy wonka XD

[krunkenfunken]

Okay, this is a great program, but that guy's voice is so fucking annoying! learn how to speak right and say your "r"'s geeze!

[EbsNhexz]

@krunkenfunken lol its a speech impediment mate, like a lisp it can be very hard to get over. Not just pronunciation laziness its an actual condition.

He takes it in good humour though, doesn't mind people calling him wossy or taking the piss. On his old chat show it sometimes seemed the producers deliberately put the guests with "R"s in their names together in the same week.

[krunkenfunken]

@EbsNhexz Well yeah I guess it not AS bad since its an actual condition, but maybe he should try out a different field without public speaking, cause it mean, the show would be a hell of alot better if it was with someone who spoke correctly.

[EbsNhexz]

@krunkenfunken I don't think he needs to try a different field, he has had loads of success as an interviewer and host. He is one of the most famous chat show hosts in the UK and has interviewed and is friends with superstars from all over the world.

The BBC probably wouldn't have broadcast this program if it wasn't hosted by Jonathan Ross(Woss) lol, if you get over his speech you will realise he is great at what he does, he is genuinely obsessed with Japan as well.

[BlueRowan]

wossy for priminster, better than the dick we got now

[owner8515]

@BlueRowan i totally  agree!

[mcandros111]

giant kaiju!!!!!

[sweet139west]

Nice? thanks mate

[takeawayeverything]

This show is quit interesting even from the Japanese view. lol

[sweetslender]

i love japanoramaaaa! thanks mr.ross:)

[DeckardPooley]

i'm addicted to this program...is amazing...Jonathan Ross is the man...

[yosssss79486]

どんな形であれ日本のサブカルなどをとりあげていただけるのは嬉­しいです

[NoFaceChannel]

Japan is the home of Animes.

[Mjuzashica]

@TheMarkOfTheBeast1 it's the other way round.

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

Japan is nothing compared to South Korea.

[TIME4AKB]

@TheMarkOfTheBeast1 Really?? Japan are richer than South Korea though. How are they nothing? xD

[eaglesfan226]

Fantastic begining!

[susywsx]

a shame that this show must had and end

[Esty2326]

What is that tune used for the opening?

You know, 'Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom.'

It's hilarious!

[deanmrrty]

@Esty2326

[deanmrrty]

@Esty2326 it's a guy called Kiyoshi Hikawa and the song is kiyoshi no zundokobushi, apparently it was famous in Japan a few years ago.

[Esty2326]

@deanmrrty Thank you sweetie.~

[Tzukimono]

god, that little girl saying 'Japanorama' is the cutest thing ever!

[anderson870403]

i love this show

[ipodxdude]

JAPANESE ELVIS FTW 0:47

[NoMoreCinnamonRolls]

Total Otaku, so happy so see this how, it makes me squee. X3

[Sharebyakuya]

[TepidPeppermint]

[shotb1963]

何も知らないイギリス人ごときがほざいてんじゃねえよ

[mothra1999]

なにこれ？

[Tekkaku]

日本についてのドキュメンタリー。

[MelancholyUnicorn]

@mothra1999 lol are you enjoying it?

It kinda made Japan look crazy at the start lol XD

[TheBleachAmv]

Jonathan Ross is a legend:)

[FreakinSweet86]

Japanarama is great but I prefer Adam and Joe Go Tokyo.

[Chuloloc]

Interesting. Can't wait to see the rest of the series. Time for Part 2. Hail Japanorama.

[ThatWeerdoGirl]

LOL when the host guy first comes out he's dressed like austin powers..

[bastardtubeuser]

He sounds like he has a wet sponge in his mouth.

[flakelorenz02]

@ThatWeerdoGirl He always dresses like that.

It's one of his 'quirks'.

[Hadouken471]

@ThatWeerdoGirl thats jonathan ross you dumb fuck

[ThatWeerdoGirl]

@Hadouken471 There is no "Johnathan Ross" in America, You Fucking Idiot.

[Hadouken471]

@ThatWeerdoGirl oh so, the soon as you enter american soil jonathan ross DOESN'T EXIST? woah, incredible!!!

[ThatWeerdoGirl]

@Hadouken471 Pretty Much.

[dannielpreto]

@ThatWeerdoGirl No man, he IS Austin Powers

[cujo1990]

hey ultraman

[Strekoza]

I would like to know what is the melody at the beginning 0:00-0:13?

Now, that's a catchy one!@# :D

[hachioshi]

You're funny, instead of Zundoko-bushi that's what caught your attention.

[Strekoza]

:D

Actually I thought everybody asks about that after I found out it's the Zundoko-Bushi song XD

Any clue what is the melody? :)

[morchius]

thank u :) i was searching for this song :) yeaaaa!

[Strekoza]

No, no ;)

[elenikaraman]

What's the opening song????

[hachioshi]

Zundoko-Bushi by Kiyoshi Hikawa.

[davidovable]

hearsay, means rumor

[infinity217]

what does Jonathan say "3 minutes cracky ever ???? lasted longer than that"

[TimeManInJail]

this guy is lame..

reason ultra man is cool (power ranger) and shit

monster + justice + hero = little kids watching

[intershark]

Jalapagos = Japan + Galapagos...

[maybrook1]

he is devoted to wobots

[scxymoi]

ultraman! XD love it ahah xD

love japan!

[Danielnoctis]

English speaking people (like the host here) should stay away from japanese language. It makes them look gayer then hell.

[HideoFTW1]

Well then, you should stay away from the English language, as you are for one illiterate in proper sentence structure; and also correct wording.

Also, your a blatant reject, making such an idiotic comments

[Danielnoctis]

Well excuse me miss I'm writing a grammatical book in youtube. Whether I'm skilled or not in English grammar has got nothing to do with him sounding like a fag in Japanese. Also show me these mistakes I seem to have made 'cos I can't find any on my end.

And I also think you meant *you're* instead of *your* .

Also meant to write this without the *s* in the end:

an(used for singular) idiotic comment*s*(*s* stands for plural), and you're the one to talk about grammar to me? Get a fucking grip.

[humpingbird]

Monster Sex 5:33

[ToruKun1]

"Mora mora mora"? Shouldn't it be "Motto motto motto"? :P

[LindaCrisan]

Exactly, a mora is a phonetic unit that can be smaller or equal to a syllable. For example Japanese "n" is one mora.

[AustinTrench]

I still can't beleive tjat kamen rider has his own toy line in america, why can't ultraman have his own US line?

[baragon2001x]

LUPIN THE 3rd 0:26

[monkeytruck88]

Does Ultraman have a talking bulldozer? No, no he does not. But we love him anyway.

[carlosbigotes]

3:25

[Olitod]

LOL. Another reason to love Jonathan Ross.

[hilarioph]

I said because of Thalia arrival Mexico

dramas are airing of some channels

here in the Philippines. That's why Anime

is band here in the Philippines back in 1996.

Lucky Voltes 5 is back on tv in the Philippines

in 1999 before year the 2000. Now do you understand i just said?

[hilarioph]

But back in 1996 Thalia destory anime

with the kiss x-( She be the next marcos.

Because take a look Megaman is suppose to be air here in the Philippines back in 1996. When the late Michael jackson was here in manila. Everybody hate him all because of the bad Thalia. Do not worry Narruto is a ture Pinoy and anime shows. Mexico dramas are sucks and also Thalia your sucks x-(

[hoholilimama]

Please improve your English. I can only understand a bit of your's. Thank you.

[cafeko]

ZOMG, I died when I saw Hikawa Kiyoshi!!!!! XD

[akikazu]

Anyone know who that person is that is dancing/singing in the suit in the opening? 0:39 and other short segments.

[esaka2mb]

Hikawa Kiyoshi - Zundoko Bushi

[cafeko]

[VOLVERHURTS]

it looks like mexican tv. when they use the same dudes.

[samuelharuna]

[hilarioph]

[drixg555]

I read in an old newspaper article from the 70's that the Marcos administration banned several Japanese TV series including Ultraseven. Kinda sucked huh?

[JapanLover4eva]

oh how I love Japan!

[RobotPharmacy]

Thank you so much for uploading!!

[RedZeppellin]

I loved this show. Thanks for uploading.

But can anyone tell me which animation the shouting girl at 0:46 in the intro is from? I know I've seen it before but I can't remember. Thanks.

[chuckleslotz]

Looks like Sakura from Street Fighter. I still play that character from time to time on my PSP haha! They did make an anime series of Street Fighter.

[N1njaSquirrel]

yeah, it was a film, and it's recently had the un-cut edition out, including chun li bath scene :P

[harurenge]

if you mean 00.46, that's Noriko from Gunbuster

[ebilxbunny]

Omg i watched ultraman!! in england too ;o awesomest show ever.

[cjason123]

I thought us Canadians are, damnit.

[sailorfanns]

Does anyone here know the name of the singer and song at 0:27-0:30? He looks/sounds familiar...

[1Ice1]

oh interesting. Yes Arabs are pretty rude. I know from experience because quite a few pass through my work. I haven't been acquainted with any Japanese person to person . I would like to think that if I went over to Japan, they wouldn't show racism towards us westerners. O k I hope that was clear lol

[Archeflaw]

, they wouldn't show racism towards us westerners.

-Goodluck with that one, While they're generally very polite/courteous, but more often than not, racist to westerners. ( or so i'm told )

[1Ice1]

I said.. " I WOULD LIKE TO THINK they wouldn't- " I wasn't stating a fact that they wouldn't show any racism...I'm just not sure

[tamaaaaaaaaaa]

just remember that in every country there are racists :O

[1Ice1]

Of course there is-_- but I'm talking about the country as a whole. I need to know before I go there, so I don't get screwd.

[RedMoonAi]

evry country has racists.

jeez what a dumb comment tama

[1Ice1]

yeah jerkwod, of course they do, but a country can be more racist to foreigners than another country is. Use your brain...." jeez "

[1Ice1]

btw, learn to type.

[1Ice1]

Do you know for sure?

[cloverforluck]

SuperheWo, just when I thought I couldn't like his speech impediment more XD

[1Ice1]

LOL

[ElectricShark]

Quick question.

Who is the singer in the beginning? The one going "Zoom Zoom" and then he sings a line!

[hrtkngok]

His name is Kiyoshi Hikawa, in Japanese 氷川きよし.

He is popular only over aged women,be careful...

If you interet,take a look.
