Blog - Yo! Kids
Yo! Kids
On some weekday mornings when I'm dragging to get out and go to work, the TV stays on at TVK after saku saku, and half an hour later Yo! Kids comes on.
The kids' show (obviously) is MC'd by ri-man (leader+man? salaryman), a strange sort-of-super-hero in a salaryman suit, and about ten 10-13 year old co-MCs who do the dancing and singing.
Why I think it deserves some mention is that it's absolutely the most repetitive TV show I've ever seen. Everyday, with no exception, they do the exact same thing! They sing and dance on the same three pop songs plus "checchekkori", and maybe there's some random playing with the kids for a minute, and well, that's about all what will fit in their 15 minutes minus the commercial breaks.
The only difference between each day is the kids, since they're always different guests. Probably because most of them are very young, most look like they've never ever seen the show.
Not only they do the exact same thing everyday, but during the replay time which is what I sometimes happen to catch (from 8:30 to 9:00), they play two episodes in a row!
Check that out if you dare having that "Ha-ppy, PIPPIII!!!" opening song stuck in your head all day like I sometimes do. :)
TVK, Tuesday-Friday 18:45-19:00, replay Monday-Tuesday 8:30-9:00
(I wonder if we will ever see Julius on there? :))

I didn't mean as a singing and dancing MC but as a guest. :)

Hmm, well I could always tape some if you really want it. :) It would be VHS though cause I don't have any digitizing equipment.

3 hours of yo kids .. that would traumatize any infant ... but worth a thought .. i actually have Ritsu looking into DVDs now .. kids stuff in general .. but I want some mainstream TV stuff as well ... is there a Japanese Barney ? (don;t tell me he is mean, green and spits fire .. that would be Gojira :)
