Japanese variety show

A Japanese variety show is an entertainment television program made up of a variety of original stunts, musical performances, comedy skits, quiz contests, and other acts.

Current situation

Japanese television programs such as Music Station and Utaban continue in an almost pristine format from the same variety shows of years before. The only major changes have been the increasing disappearance of live backup music since the 1980s.

A once popular host Kyosen Ōhashi said, "Weird shows that are called Variety only exists in Japan."

One of the more well circulated clips is a segment in Gaki no Tsukai, hosted by the comedy duo Downtown. In one part, if the male contestants fail to say a tongue-twister correctly, they get struck in the crotch by a spring-loaded pole (The Chinko Machine, or, literally, the Penis Machine), causing great pain. Hitoshi Matsumoto attempted to withdraw but the host - his comedy partner and co-host Masatoshi Hamada, cajoled him back on the platform.

Influences overseas

Game show

A game show is a type of radio, television, or internet programming genre in which contestants, television personalities or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, play a game which involves answering questions or solving puzzles usually for money and/or prizes. Alternatively, a gameshow can be a demonstrative program about a game (while usually retaining the spirit of an awards ceremony). In the former, contestants may be invited from a pool of public applicants. On some shows, contestants compete against other players or another team, while other shows involve contestants playing alone for a good outcome or a high score. Game shows often reward players with prizes such as cash, trips and goods and services provided by the show's sponsor prize suppliers, who in turn usually do so for the purposes of product placement.

History

Television game shows descended from similar programs on radio. The very first television game show, Spelling Bee, was broadcast in 1938. Truth or Consequences was the first game show to air on commercially licensed television. Its first episode aired in 1941 as an experimental broadcast.

Game Show

So come on down and try your hand at the oldest game in town
Pull up a chair and dont be scared, youve got to play it round by round
Spin the wheel and take a hit it doesnt matter what you chose
Sou can sink your battle ship but theres a good chance you will loose
A little lady walking down the street
and she was born in a good and nice town
You think youve got what it takes to be her man
So you try about and ask a lady if she would like to meet
Maybe this time things will go your way
Your never going to win unless you play
Break down and take the chances, nevermind the circumstances
Break down and keep on playing, roll the dice and bet it all, put the quater in and make the call
When the odds are bad, your luck is down and you dont feel much like playing
Think about the fun you had and listent what i'm saying
You could spend your life inside and never had no fun
Maybe things this time will go your way
You never gunna win unless you play
Breakdown and take the chances, nevermind the circumstances
Breakdown keep on playing, roll the dice and bet it all
Breakdown and take the chances, nevermind the circumstances
Breakdown keep on playing, roll the dice and bet it all, put a quater in and make the call
You got to breakdown (whoaa)
Baby
