>>50001546>no one knows why she quit acting and never returnedIt was reported over a decade ago that her husband doesn't want her to act anymore.

japanese tv and movies are mixed with anti-American, anti-white, female supremacist, racist, pc propaganda and usually not worth watching, same with japanese media in general, it's very corporate

Beat Takeshi tore Ishiba a new asshole and exposed the LDP>After talking big (about continuing as a Prime Minister and ignoring the backlash), Ishiba-san ended up resigning, didn't he? Even among those chosen within the LDP to be the next Prime Minister, there seem to be bigwigs who control them. They say this and that, but it's like they're puppets. In the end, once you hand over the puppet role, it gets assigned to someone else.
>>50006403takeshi doesn't get punished for saying things like this?
>>50006412He unironically has more sway than the emperor. Dude is our modern day showa emp and when he dies we'll be talking about it for months.
>>50006412It's precisely because Takeshi is the one saying it that TV Asahi can air this with peace of mind because he's untouchable.
>>49999634Pardon, is this the place where I can ask for recommendations of old movies?
>>50007892Yes. Which decade?
>>50007892Rubber Band Pistol (1962) by Itami Juzo
>>50008005Anything from the Shōwa era, so from the 1920s to 1980s. Older movies are fine as well.>>50008037Thank you, and a follow-up question below for anyone in the know. I usually get old movies from nyaa or the internet archive, but neither of those places seem to have the movie you mentioned. I tried searching for it on a torrent aggregator (BTDigg), but the torrents I found were dead. Is there someplace that I can find old movies besides private trackers? The links in the OP seemed mostly dead the last time I checked them. Usenet?
>>50008185>Is there someplace that I can find old movies besides private trackers?ytx (dot) mx their library isn't big but you can find a good portion from different old filmmakers

>>50007892There was one month when I binged about 40 to 50-ish Japanese new wave movies like a year ago. If you want a fun social commentary watch Death by Hanging (1968) by Nagisa Oshima which is an honest critique of Japan's death penalty system.
>>50006403>bigwigs who control them
>>50009242what Hanzawa Naoki character is this?
interesting telop
>>50010712I literally didn't notice until it told me, wtf.
>>50010712Show editor-san is shitposting irl
>>50009442His power level is higher than even the last boss of Hanzawa Naoki 2.
>>50010712Tamuken isn't a particularly funny geinin. I only have the impression that Suiyoubi no Downtown is the only show in Tokyo that calls him and he's mainly active in Kansai. Even if he returns to Japan, other than Hamada, Downtown as a conbi is finished as far as tv goes so Tamuken probably won't get any work either, especially since he's also linked to Matsumoto's scandal. He might not even be able to find as much work in his home turf of Kansai as before. He can keep living here in the US working in his yakiniku joint.
>>50009852I will now watch your drama.
>Exposes her daughter's private info and badmouths her on tvWhat a retard
>>50011057these bitches are as regarded as jav actresses
>>50011047He's an SDGs shill, that's why he got work. He should've stayed in the US like a good traitor.

The latest episode of Achikochi Audrey was interesting.They talk at length about differences in the comedy business between Japan and America.Wakabayashi also expressed some jealousy for YouTubers' income (Hajime Syacho in particular) which became Yahoo article bait.
https://x.com/sxzBST/status/1967502983324930301oh no... he's retarded.....
>>50015047When geinins are on radio shows and YouTube they sometimes make gaffes like that, especially ones that make them appear that they are looking down on ordinary people. I've seen it happen many times.
>>50015047Non-celebs were the first people to use SNS before celebs came around to open their blue checkers.
>>50015071you mean geinoujinsama
>>50002032Same people discredited Maya Imamori, and I believe at this point that the rumors are true. I'm done defending her.
>>50015203>Maya ImamoriIf the whole thing is actually true, what exactly did she see in Asai anyway?
>>50015242The other way around. And sleeping with men for a role is something common in the acting industry anyway.
>>50015071>they are looking down on ordinary peopleOwarai geinins are a special breed and they're something that is unique to Japan. They themselves were ordinary people, like the average Joe, they went through the same shit the ordinary people went through, like being ugly and unpopular, but struck gold with their owarai materials and skills and now they're famous celebs. So naturally, they suffer from severe elitism, more than actors or singers. That's why there's lots of sex addict geinins and many have scandals over sexual harassment and rape as seen recently.
>>50013720I don't get her hype, she's ugly.
>>50015047Funny as fuckJudging by the responses it's also correct lol
>>50013720Sometani Shota made the transition?
>>50015047It's easy to lose perspective when you're living that sort of life and all of a sudden you're saying shit like this without imagining what life must be like for other people.
>>50015047Yamauchi say things like this everyday and still fine whatsoever. That's what you get for having woke gen-z as your fanbase.
A lot of times I can't even take politicians or "experts" seriously and they get mad at a comedian. We are not the same.
Reiwa is worst era

Can't even be retarded without getting called out for being retarded because of woke...
>>50018404Kurochan is a massive Beat Takeshi fanhttps://friday.kodansha.co.jp/article/437403?page=2I'm not surprised he can play the theme song of one of Takeshi's most iconic films.
>>50018404I rewatched "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" three days ago after a long time. Timeless masterpiece.
This nigga is gonna die soon

>>50015047>They closed the comments for all of their videosGrim
>>50019447Yeah, from what I've read, he seemingly did not like the side effects of chemotherapy at all and refused to go for a second round.
>>50015047>be japanese "comedian">be fat>shave head>take off clothes>make funny faces>"gib monies and fame NAO!!!"

some mistakes might slip through when your high school graduate housewife in her 40/50s is watching, but none of this shit is getting past methis stuff is why i can't take jdrama seriously sometimes, and i can barely stomach modern eigai wonder if the white actress they got to say this line knew it was wrong
>>50020553https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/diable#Frenchthat's an English subtitle mistake
>>50020669yikes. in the show the actress said "dia-bul" instead of "dia-bleh".multistep process of getting it all wrong here.

This is going to sound weird but I am going through some Kamen Rider series and noticing a lot of pantyshots that they didn't think about but you can spot when pausing. Mainly in moments where characters are going up stairs, or running with skirts fluttering up, or being sent flying by monsters and stuff. They seem completely innocent, not framed lewdly, but it's still something you can't really see nowadays. I don't know why I'm sharing this, I just thought someone else might have had the same experience.
>>50024247Pics?
>>49999634Anyone remember that Netflix mirror site? I'm stuck in a hospital and want to do immersion but I can't remember what it is
>>50024254I haven't really been taking screenshots, and this is a blue board so I probably couldn't post much even if I were. But this one example should hopefully be fine, it's stuff like this. Woman was just knocked away by a monster and sent rolling. I am trying to avoid mentioning the other elephant in the room, but considering these shows often have a wide variety of actors, you may be able to draw some troublesome conclusions from that. I feel weird even pausing to see this stuff, but if my eye catches it, then I usually check to make sure.Anyway, it feels like in a modern show, they'd take more care to avoid shots like that since people are more conscious of it nowadays.
>>50024289I'd imagine that it's because, nowadays, on-demand videos are more commonplace, so being able to look through every frame for unintentional shots like that is far easier, so they take more precautions to avoid them. Back in the day, shots like that were easier to miss, so they didn't really bother avoiding them. I'm sure that people being more conscious these days is also part of it, but I don't think it's the only reason. Just my two cents, though.
Chocopla shaved their heads and apologized for the gaffehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXj8tp2aRxg
>>50024506At least they apologized.
>>50024506I laughed because it looked like a skit by the end
>>50024506This whole shit was over nothing. Why can't people just understand he's retarded and move on?
>>50024506>Matsuo just got a haircutMade me laugh
>>50024506I assume now there will be complaints about the apology not being sincere enough.
>>50024506>that first commentActual gold, if they were going to double down like this they should've made it funnier.
>>50024583>>50024587>>50024654>>50024713>I assume now there will be complaints about the apology not being sincere enough.the red pill has always been that japanese apologies are surface level and real atonement comes from action. every adult knows this and may have experienced a time where they had to 90 degree bow while thinking that it's performative bullshit
>>50024289Oh no how terrible. Could you provide the exact episode numbers and timestamps so we can investigate this matter more thoroughly?

Any movies about an individual moving to a new place? I'm interested in both, from a different country to Japan/the reverse and also domestically within Japan to a new place. For the latter I really liked Call me Chihiro. Preferably not the transfer student trope though.

Watched April Story (1988).Nice little short movie, preferred it to Picnic. The lead actress is incredibly, incredibly pretty. Wish it was longer.
^I feel like I read these posts every monthDo you guys think it's a bot?
>>50026627no and what would be the point of that? this gen moves slow as it is
>>50025136The episode number for that one is literally in the file name. I haven't been keeping track of the others. All the ones I've noticed so far are in Kamen Rider Agito so they would be before that episode. To be honest I was partially bringing it up hoping other people would have other examples.
>>50026444I rewatch April Story every April. One of those ineffable works from Iwai Shunji that reminds me of my university years. It portrayed the anxieties of moving away for university really well but also the silly things we do during that period, whether it's everyday life or love life. Every moment is so simple yet rich and real. The last 10 minutes are especially wholesome.
The first time I watched April Story I kept waiting for something bad to happen to the main character. I had watched it after All About Lily Chou Chou, so I thought all of Shunji Iwai's work would be dark and edgy.
>>50027153>love lifeMy university life (current) is devoid of it...
>>50024587>>50024716This came back to bite them in the ass, as the backlash grew after the apology.
>>50029167they shouldn't have apologized anyway, especially when they were planning to do it so half-heartedly and as a joke. plenty of people are already defending them without the apology.
>>50001886I know we're on 4chan but this is just way too trashy for me. These guys are already fucking prostitutes and pornstars,cheating on their wives.
>>50029424Okay? Nobody is forcing you to watch it, man.
Episode 8 of Makanai-san has to be my favorite so far. It was pure fun. Also had good Ryoko scenes, I wish she had more screentime in general.I'm gonna miss this cast a lot after the next episode. Any other good series that Aju Makita and Nana Mori are in?
>>50029794Don't worry, I haven't watched a single second of it.
>>50029837honestly as a jav connoisseur it's not that interesting
>>50030167the flirting is the most enjoyable part, the improv in the last two episodes is horrid
>>50031678the issue i have with this is that the hook of this show is lewd between the jav actresses and comedians but it's not great because the actresses can't really act, the sexy things they do is nothing compared to their actual work and the comedians are obviously phoning it in. is it the scenarios or is it the concept itself, not sure. and as the other anon said, it's like we're catholic schoolgirls as if the business isn't rife with affairs and cheating. i don't hate it but still...
>>50032161I like watching Gekidan try and keep up while throwing curveballs. The Talk Survivor format was a bit of a mistake, the retard from New York should've been cut entirely because he wasn't even trying, I don't know why he got booked in the first place.Ultimately, the problem with the show is that it's just a weaker version of the movies. I don't have a moral issue with the concept because "cheating is wrong!", if you're married to a famous guy in Japan, you know what you're getting yourself into.
>>50029826One of the most comfy shows of all time.
>>50029826okaeri mone with kiyohara and makita, lovely serieslast letter with mori and hirose loved the duo
>>50029826>I'm gonna miss this cast a lot after the next episode.Felt the same after finishing the drama. Every single character is loveable, even Mitani Koki who was playing as himself in that cameo was adoring. Just a lovely series with the kind of delicate, thoughtful virtues too little seen these days. Koreeda is a master of creating such feelings in his works.>Any other good series that Aju Makita and Nana Mori are in?Going My Home (2012). It was also directed by Koreeda Hirokazu.
>>50033596I love her aloof little face so much.
>>50032656I've not finished it yet but like with God Tongue, it's definitely a format that suits Gekidan Hitori more than anyone else. His bits are hysterical.I want to see more geinin willing to get into the drama. Maybe Akiyama would be good.
bilibili updated their app to add japanesenow watch as decades worth of tv uploads get copyrightstriked
>>50038497>worth of tv uploads get copyrightstrikedSome uploads i bookmarked gone already, for example things from ametalk club.
>>50038497they have a very effective system at identifying copyright infringement. I was trying to upload an interview video with a Wehrmacht general and it got striked down at the upload stage because they can somehow automatically identify the content and who holds that copyright
what upcoming 2026 release will be your first watch?
>>50038497Gotta start downloading those Takeshi Jo episodes and Antonio Inoki's matches before it's too late.
>>50038739Crap, always wanted to watch those, never knew they had it on there.
>>50025136I decided to be an autist, here you go. For Kamen Rider Agito:Episode 4: 07:39Episode 9: 09:33 (reflection)Episode 11: 2:53, 2:56Episode 13: 24:45Episode 35: 9:28The episode 9 one is odd because you can vaguely make out a reflection on the knob during a shower scene, but she may actually be wearing clothes off-camera, but not much, but it's hard to make out much of anything. I thought I'd note it down anyway.I was being wary about all this because I was worried about getting banned but it's probably fine.
Beat Takeshi's views on modern Japanese people>I think Japanese people are too timid. Even though the economy is supposed to be good, if wages aren't rising, people from other countries usually go on strike, but they don't do that in this country. Surprisingly, workers often complain about low wages, but they don't take any concrete actions, do they?
>>50040206>Cry about the meanie LDP>Vote for them in the elections again or don't vote at allSuch is the life of the nipponese

>>50039709>I was worried about getting bannedWhy would you get banned for posting panchira?
>>50043864Usually they're only visible for like one frame, and it's only a few pixels of white at best. The Ep11 2:56 one you can definitely see. There were others that were more overt that I couldn't find again.
