I think it’s safe to say that anyone who’s into Otaku culture, at least knows of Danny Choo. He’s pretty much a Japanese popular culture king as far as the internet is concerned and his website is one of the most popular with fans of Japan. Not too long ago he started a television series called “Culture Japan TV” and it’s pretty much a Japanese culture show that focus on a broad range of interests anywhere from Japanese animation to Japanese school festivals. It really shows Danny’s dedication and passion for Japanese culture and really is entertaining to watch, the problem is that it only aired in japan and the only way to watch it otherwise was through relatively inconvenient means.
Fortunately that has changed as Mnet America has picked up Culture Japan TV to air on its channel here in North America on Tuesday nights. I happened to catch it this past Tuesday night and got to re-watch the first episode. I was pretty excited that such a cool show is getting some exposure over here in the west and hopefully is the start of something that eventually becomes common in American television programming. Mnet themselves are a South Korean entertainment company and their subsidiary Mnet America, specialize in Asian and Asian-American pop culture programming as well as showcasing prominent individuals throughout the Asian-American community. I watched their channel and I must say, it’s entertaining and the female hosts on a couple of their shows are pretty hot and would easily get a CLOTHESLESS “smut” culture lesson from me any day of the week. BWAHAHAAHAHAAAAA!! :D (Hellz yeah I went there!!)
Anyways, are you guys happy about this news?? Are you already a long time fan of Danny Choo but never got to catch his TV show? Do you happen to frequent Mnet America’s Channel? Check their sites’ listings to find out if your cable provider carries their channel. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem their channel has an HD variant and that makes Neph as SAAAAD panda :( but it’s reasonable as they started airing pretty recently… Let us know what’s on your mind by dropping a few thoughts in the comments section.
