Variety shows

You can try some Arashi variety shows (Arashi ni shiyagare, VS Arashi or Himitsu no Arashi Chan). I don't know the korean shows you are talking about, so I'm not sure they are the same. hope you understand Japanese, because, most are not subtitled. I sometime watch some of them when I want to have fun (and when I want to see Arashi members, I confess). I don't really understand, but it's funny to see the interaction between all of them. When I went in Japan, I've also seen SMAP variety show (Bistro SMAP) and I found it really funny. but I don't know where you can find it on the internet. I think that KAT-TUN also have a variety show, but never seen it. Hope you will find something interesting

are worth watching. I just recently got into variety shows and would like to try a Japanese one (in comparison to Korean ones), but don't know where to start. ;)

I didn't see many myself but you should try Cartoon KAT-TUN...it's very funny and interesting...VS Arashi is also quite amusing...the korean ones are more fun to watch than the japanase ones....but I already saw many korean ones and I got somehow bored so now I'm seasrching for something diferent:D

Is Cartoon KAT-TUN really a, well, cartoon? In that case I will simply wait for AKB48's anime series which is bound to be very entertaining. *giggles*

Utaban isn't airing anymore, but the past episodes were so hilarious. XD

I <3 variety shows! Can you speak Japanese or do you need some with English translations?

Cartoon Kattun is not a cartoon, although I think Kattun has a short animated series out there somewhere.

J-Variety shows that have english translations are mostly Johnnys shows, but here are some of the ones that come to mind:

Arashi shows (Arashi ni Shiyagare, Vs. Arashi, Himitsu no Arashichan, Arashi no Shukudai Kun, D no Arashi, G no Arashi, Mago Mago Arashi)
Cartoon Kattun
Perfume's Happy!
Morning Musume's HeroMoni/Hello Morning

If you don't need subtitles the options are endless. Do you want quiz shows? Talk shows? News shows?

cartoon KAT-TUN was funny! ^^ i also like that silent library..LOL another Japanese VS I liked was "Gakkou he Ikou!" actually I've never seen the whole episode, but I saw some clip on youtube, and only watched what I could find.. :P also "SMAPxSMAP"..I enjoyed watching the drama comedy section..

I really wanna watch Cartoon KAT-TUN as well :-/ but where can I find it :/ I mean YouTube doesn't have anything Japanese related -.-"
