This isn't particularly ridiculous in any way. Japan recently debuted a new variety/sketch comedy shows airing on Saturday nights, and for some reason it rings a bell:

hahaha hopefully it's better than the one that's "Live from New York." Also, I'm pretty sure GE/NBC/Comcast now owns the entire northern hemisphere, lol

Is it wrong that I want one now..lol
haha i kind of want one too. and after watching that the song was stuck in my head all day
My mom and I were going through her old vinyls, and I came across an album by a Japanese salsa band called Orquestra de La Luz. My mom told me that she's seen them live several times when they used to tour the US. It's kind of ridiculous how good they are.

I kind of love that SNL is in Japan. I wonder how many other countries it's spread to? How old is it now? almost 40?

I think it would be fun to share some of the more bizarre, crazy, funny things we come across. Like lucky poop hats, or... this commercial

I think this is actually something that needs to be seen to be believed. I wouldnt had thought of it for the world if someone had said it existed, but now... anything is possible, yep.

actually Japanese salsa bands arent so rare back in our mother's time. I know my mom danced to this one in particular, and there is also another Japanese salsa band if Im not mistaken, but I cant remember the name right now.... they are really good though.


Scariest teacher ever!
