KASOU TAISHOU CRAZY


I really applaud the Japanese's creativity.

The other day while BJ and I were burning time YouTube-ing the night/morning away, we decided to look for crazy Japanese noon-time shows and came across ChappieTV's channel, fully loaded with Kinchan no Kasoh Taisho clips.

For those of you living under a rock, this is the show that got "Ping-Pong Matrix" famous. It shows different acts of "fake" cinematic effects, using people and different tools to create an amazing skit (I think they have already created a Philippine-based show for this at GMA-7 called "Masquerade"). "Human Art" is what they call it.

What everybody doesn't know is that this Kasou Taishou show has been running on JapTV for 30 friggin years! Yes m'dears, 30 g.d.'d insane years of cooking up clever antics using manpower and a couple of cardboards. How the hell is that for creativity? No wonder Japan's been evolving so well as a country - they have crazy (and I mean it in a positive note) people who don't give a sh*t about what the whole world thinks and does everything their way - over the top.

I found 2 new favorites to add on my list (one's "The Reason She Got Mad At Me" which I saw ages ago). See below if you're curious enough. The second one's a bit long but if you'll fast forward it to 6:45, it all worth it. :)
