Downtown’s new talk program on TBS at 10pm Wednesdays is to be called Suiyoubi no Downtown, starting on the 23rd this month: [url:1essnzbw]http://www.tbs.co.jp/suiyobinodowntown/[/url:1essnzbw]

Premise of the program:

[quote:1essnzbw]人は誰しも自分だけが信じる“説”をもっているはず。そこに確かな裏付けや科学的根拠がなかろうと、個人が妄信的に信じ込む“説”を芸能人・有名人たちが独自の目線と切り口でプレゼン。その“説”についてスタジオメンバーと激論を交わしながら展開していく。アカデミックでありながら、くだらないトーク＆情報エンタテインメント番組だ。

その説は定説になりうるのか──
はたまた、人々を混乱させる前にこの世から処分すべきデマなのか──
実験ロケなども混じえて徹底検証していく！！

他局にバラエティ番組のない水曜22時枠に全く新しいオリジナリティあふれる企画で、日本中を明るい笑顔で包みます！[/quote:1essnzbw]

It’s another talk program but this time with celebrities presenting their views on certain topics. Seems a bit similar to Hakase Academy… hope it goes well anyway.

[quote="VideogameDC":2bbj0y2y][quote="lygerzero14":2bbj0y2y]Well, that is certainly interesting. Sounds like Downtown needs to sit down and have a talk. |([/quote:2bbj0y2y]

Too bad they won’t talk to each other pretty much.[/quote:2bbj0y2y]
Yeah…
I think a recent exception was the backstage of the ii tomo last episode though

Looks like Suiyoubi no Downtown has made the news in raising a story about schools and hospitals, becoming quite a hot topic:

[quote:20xb7zyv]21日放送のバラエティ番組「水曜日のダウンタウン」（TBS系）で、番組が企画のため取材を依頼した8社全てから、取材拒否されていたことが明かされた。

この日の放送では、「みんなの説」という企画で、芸能人が「自分が信じている説（うわさ）」を検証していった。プレゼンテーターの小籔千豊は、日本の教育問題に切り込む説として、「理科室の人体模型ただのインテリア説」を紹介した。

番組ではこの説を検証するため、理科室の人体模型が本当に使われていないのか、学校に問い合わせたが、どの学校もなぜか取材NGだったそうだ。断られた件数は、なんと100校にも及ぶという。

学校名非公開を条件に、1校のみ取材に応じた学校があったが、教員に人体模型について訊ねるも、やはり「インテリアになっちゃうかもしれないですね」と実際には使用していないことを明かした。

番組がさらに、授業で使わないのになぜ学校にあるのか、調べを進めると、学校は文部科学省が定めた「教材整備指針」に準じて人体模型を購入していることがわかった。学校は、国の方針に従って人体模型を購入していたのである。

人体模型の平均価格は一体約15万円、全国で50億円以上の金額が人体模型に使われているという。

続けて番組では販売方法を調査すべく、国内の人体模型製造業者、8社に問い合わせをしたが、なんとこちらも全ての業者で取材NGだった。

これを受けて、松本人志が「追及していくと、我々がどうこう出来るテーマでは無かったってことですよね」とコメントすると、スタジオ一同笑いにつつまれた。[/quote:20xb7zyv]

Seems like it had something to do with the usage of models of the human body and its inner workings. A lot of references were made to the cost of these models and apparently some schools and unis in Japan refuse to cover the workings of the human body or something like that (if I’m translating this correctly. If I’m wrong then do tell, don’t wanna be misleading :worried: ).

I know it’s a bit of a strange topic but I just remembered that I hadn’t updated this thread in a while so there you go. If you wanna watch the episode in question, here you go: [url:20xb7zyv]http://youtubeowaraitv.blog32.fc2.com/blog-entry-43699.html[/url:20xb7zyv]

EDIT: Looking at the title of the episode, it says 理科室の人体模型、ただのインテリア説, translating to ‘the science room’s human body mannequin is just part of the interior theory’. I’m not entirely sure what this means but it seems like it costs a lot for these mannequins to be built and they’re not really used at all for meaningful purposes. Seems like an interesting topic… or my translation is a bit sloppy. Still, this episode apparently netted the program its first double digit ratings in its existence so it’s certainly resonated with TV audiences.

I’ve watched the episode.
It’s about the belief that "the human models in science labs are just part of the interior decoration"
The show investigated if it was being used in lessons or just there. All the manufacturers and almost all schools declined interviews.
It turns out that no one has used it in lessons before, and also that all schools are required to have at least one.

65

Interesting. I could be wrong but I don’t think they’re a standard in the UK… I just remember using biology books. It does seem a bit unnecessary in this day and age when they can just use a digital projector screen for all kinds of teaching, anatomy or otherwise.

Tanaka’s got into the news for finding a white isopod while filming his TV show ‘I am Adventure Boy’ on TBS. Someone can tell me otherwise but are these extremely rare or something? Anyway, isopods are apparently a very popular thing in Japan so they’ve covered it here: [url:1mx33uq3]http://mantan-web.jp/2014/06/17/20140616dog00m200034000c.html[/url:1mx33uq3]

67

I like how Tanaka’s current big news compares to Hamada’s, this is why they have such trouble finding dirt on him for the batsus :rofl:
Anyway congrats to Tanaka, maybe they’ll eventually name a rare species after him! :)

68

[quote="soudou":112wgty9]
Hamada’s had stories about him feeling frustrated by public attention at times, like the story of his family on holiday from one of the batsus, so perhaps he doesn’t want to draw undue attention to himself. But yeah, Hamada does seem to get dragged in sometimes just out of association. Like when Lincoln did that Twitter challenge and despite not being part of it someone made a fake Hamada account, it was taken down after it was revealed Hamada had no intention of joining Twitter. Hamada’s wife is active on Twitter and blogs frequently but you don’t see Hamada get involved with it all much.[/quote:112wgty9]

Thought it was interesting to see Matsumoto following this fake hamada account [url:112wgty9]https://twitter.com/hamachanhamada[/url:112wgty9] :D :D

According to the article, Tanaka found an albino of the species.

This ‘I am bouken shonen’ show is fun to watch so far. Tanaka seem to be having a lot of fun during the location shoots.

Any video of tanaka tv show?

This week will welcome the 26th edition of Matsumoto’s Suberanai Hanashi starting from 9pm Japan time this Saturday: [url:28wr6bht]http://www.fujitv.co.jp/suberanai/index.html[/url:28wr6bht]

I just happened upon this thread while searching for info. I love search engines! There is very good information here.

I, too, am stunned that Downtown don’t really hang out, despite still being known as Downtown. Hey, even family need some space! They still crack each other up when they’re together, so it’s better than when a band breaks up.

i dont really know what exactly he says but in matsumotos first story mimata matazou must have really pissed him off for him to be getting this upset while telling the story.

Been a while for this thread.

Suga is going to release a book on the 25th of August called ‘Warau Shigotojutsu’ (roughly translated: Laughing Work Skills) detailing some of his experiences in variety programming, particularly the shows he has been involved in, including Gaki no Tsukai and the No Laughing series.

He looks older in that cover than in his recent appearances during the no laughing series.

This could be an interesting reading.

78

He definetely changed a lot from the 2013 Batsu to present day.

Hope it gets launched in english at least.

Sadly I don’t think that’s likely since it’ll mainly be a book about Japanese TV Networking. :(
