I will check HodoStation, on TV Asahi,
when I will visit Japan again.
( planning for July ).

I used to live in New York, and if you have cable,
some tv stations have nice graphics, but the
local news (or standard stations) was very bad.

Here in the UK, I watch BBC Three News, which
has very cutting-edge graphics.

Thank you Roy, about the “pink van” – Correct !

ps: total nudity (and else) on mainstream European tv, it’s normal, even in advertising. ( + NO PIXELS ! )

Oh, also:
The show, called the Desk, by the Canadian
Tyler BrulÃ©

It’s finished, for the season.

Ciao – Massimo

No, I don’t. Honestly, I don’t watch prime time shows. I just watch a few late-night comedy shows.

I don’t know this show with the pink van.

As for the news, yes, in general it tends to be very conservative with it’s graphic design. HodoStation, on TV Asahi, is a big exception though. But I think that in general graphic design used in most TV shows is much more interesting than what you see in North America.

What I was saying about shows after midnight is that the content tends to be very sexual — of course, there’s no nudity. But you would never see that on late-night TV in North America.

Never has the phrase “link plz” been more aptly used than: link plz!

Forgot to mention:

The show with the “pink” van, going around the world,
with a “local” driver with a silly hat.

“Depressing”.

Yes, I watch Japanese TV, only when I visit.

Yes, I watched TV after midnight, and see
a lot of “pixels” or “games shows”…

Talking about Design:

I also noticed when I was there,
that “tv stage design” and “tv graphics”,
especially for Japanese TV News, are very conservative – not modern or minimalist.

I call it, the “flowers and decorative” syndrome.

Do you agree?

Most of those erogs are just fakes and used as a front for porn or deaikei sites.

Conservative TV? Have you ever watched Japanese TV after midnight?

In Japan, the Internet can become a powerful
liberating force, and an alternative, against the very conservative Japanese tv.

By the way, yesterday, there was a BBC special:
