Updates on Japan Mode!
We finally have a broadcast slot across the whole of Asia on December 1st 2012 initially on Star World (owned by STAR TV and Fox International).
Japan Mode is a weekly 30 min show and will focus on bringing lifestyle topics mainly for women but produced in a way so that the lads can enjoy the content too. I also managed to sneak in some otaku related stuff in too ^^;
To help me on the show, we have called upon a few ladies to co-present with me. Its cheesy but just imagine that I'm charlie and that they are my angels ^^;;; I swear it was not my idea - but I like it because it meant I didn't have to go round getting my nails manicured, shaving my armpits or trying on ladies underwear - I only do that off camera.
Panasonic and now Toyota are sponsors of the show and I'm working with advertising agency Dentsu on this project.
Today we take a look at the studio filming that took place this week.
The Japan Mode set for season 1. Panasonic wanted something futuristic-ish. Very different from the Culture Japan set!
Our cameraman is very well known in the Japanese TV industry and shoots for popular TV shows like Sekai Fushigi Hakken ]。
This is Aya Vanessa - half Canadian and half British - speaks perfect Japanese. Speaking fluent Japanese opens many doors - so what are you waiting for?!

The world deepest train station is Roppongi on the Oedo line. Not incredibly fond of taking the Oedo line as you have to take a ton of escalators to get to the platforms. They dont have elevators going all the way down either - presume its because of an earthquake related reason.
But its best to think of it as good exercise!
