[Ultraseven]

J A P A N O R A M A

Did anyone out there watch a BBC documentary series about a year ago called Japanorama hosted by Jonathan Ross?

Sure, Ross' constant use of Japanglish phrases like "Super Likee" and "Super Extra my Beautiful" were very annoying, and it wasn't always entirely accurate with its information (It's Ultraseven NOT UltramanSeven!! ) but his obvious passion for all things Japanese (mostly toys) and interviews with the likes of Junko Mizuno, Junji Ito, Hayao Miyazaki, Sonny Chiba and Takashi Murakami among many others made for a really watchable, informative and fun TV show. A good bluffers guide to all things Japanese (Toys, Architecture, Art, Music, Movies, Fashion, Culture, Language...).

BRING ON SERIES 4!!

Anyone remember Ross and a group of Japanese schoolgirls being scared witless in a 'haunted hospital' horror attraction? LOL!
