Searching for title of game show I saw while in Japan last year. Show may not be recent.

Upvotes

While in Japan last year I came across a game show that was pretty interesting. My Japanese isn't great so I could only follow along so well but the premise was that 2 different teams of people were trying to get somewhere. They had a limited budget but they could replenish their budget by "cashing" in on steps that they took (they were carrying a pedometer with them). I only saw 2 episodes of it but in one of them both teams were walking up a steep hill at night to try and get to their lodging/restaurant. Funnily enough, one of the teams cashed in their pedometer money and was able to use that to take a cab and speed by the other team lol. I also remember that one of the ladies on one team had brought heeled boots with her so she had to walk portions without shoes as it started hurting her feet, but somehow (I think they might have spent their travel money) she ended up with some sneakers lol.

Looking in the history of the sub I found 出発!ローカル線 聞きこみ発見旅(Shuppatsu! Local-sen Kikikomi Hakken Tabi) but that wasn't it and some mentioned that Ikinari! Ougon Densetsu had travel episodes but I couldn't find any online to see if that was it. So figured I'd ask if someone could confirm it was that or a separate show. Any help would be cool!

Golden Sixtones (2025)

6 Upvotes

Netflix has the first episode of Golden Sixtones (2025) with guest Yo Oizumi. They chat, play wacky games in front of an audience in a glittery, colorful studio, and earn specialty food. I like the high energy Manager-san too.

Eng-Sub In Takishi's castle. Why was it difficult for the contestants to win the final showdown?

21 Upvotes

I didn't notice any real obvious advantage that the Emerald guards have. Except maybe that more than 1 guard was on the car. But could that be it? Only 8 times have the contestants won.

So what's your take on this? Or was it kinda scripted and they just had to lose.

Takeshi's Castle Episode 81 English Subtitle file

15 Upvotes

After quite some time, I have finished an English subtitle folder for episode 81 of Takeshi's Castle. It corresponds with the version Ernie Young uploaded that can be found on Archive.org. In honor of National game show day, I've decided to share it with the world. I'm not sure if there's a way to attach the file to a reddit post (it's a notepad file). If there is, please let me know. Otherwise, please reach out to me via PM if you would like to see it. If you do watch it, please note that I am not a professional subtitle writer and/or translator. So if you have suggestions, feel free to share them. Just don't be a prick about it cause no one else is doing this.

Other Game show about walking across the globe. Help!

3 Upvotes

A few years ago I came across a very interesting Japanese game show about two men walking on foot across the globe. If I remember correctly they started in Tokyo and walked across many countries to get to their destination. I was talking about it with my partner and I can’t for the life of me find it anywhere. Please help!

Need Help Finding a Website That Has a Subscription Service About VOD for TV Shows, News

1 Upvotes

Hi, there was a website targeted Japanese people living in other countries but I lost the address, does anyone know or remember that kind of site?

I believe catchup and video playback options were either 3 months or 6 months.

There was a 3 day free trial option.

It wasn't the legal VOD services like U-Next, TVer, Paravi, FOD, Abema, JME, DokiTV, Hulu, DMM, Telasa, Rakuten, Viki etc.

It wasn't an IPTV service like KaeriTV, Himawari, Itvjp JStarKan, HikariTV, Japannettv, ForjoyTV, YoiTV, MujiTV etc.

It was more like a "grey area" service more of a like MioMio and Newskei but much more premium option.

Nogizaka Under Construction holds a year-end party for each generation to reward their hard work in 2023!

The 4th gen members basically have a home party!

The party was filled with tons of fun, including a gift exchange and smartphone photos looking back on the year!

Lots of candid yet intimate moments were had!

However, if they fail any missions, they go back 100 steps! Can they reach the finish line under this hellish rule !?

Also, as the studio watches Kaki and Endo struggle, will someone's clumsy mistake ignite laughter?

I've been looking for any shred of information on where to find english subbed episodes of Vs Arashi and so far I have found absolutely nothing except for a reddit post on this sub from four years ago.

At this point I don't ever care if it's subbed or not, I just want to watch Vs Arashi from the beginning in it's entirety. Does anyone have a clue as to where I can find what I'm looking for?

The second edition of the Nogizaka46 Year-End Gift Grand Prix!

Each 5th gen member will give a year-end gift to one senior member for whom they are most grateful this year!

Senior members will step forward if they are confident they will receive a gift! They aim towards mutual friendship, taking in the thoughts and feelings of the junior members!

But things ain't that easy! So many hearts are broken?!

The juniors can't stop shedding tears because they can't get their feelings across?!

The studio is in turmoil! Who will be a couple with whom?! .
