New and Improved! Or at least new, The 99 Yen Challenge is a brand new comedy game show brought to you in partnership between tiltyhouse, and the 404s Improv Comedy Troupe. Join your host Mark Nguyen, as he challenges contestants Brendan “Beej” Dery, Ian Horner, and special guest The Digital Dolphin, to come up with the wackiest answers to Mark’s zany scenarios; all for the chance to win the hefty sum of 99 yen!
This episode taped before a live studio audience at Anime Evolution 2007 in Vancouver, Canada.
Every week, Dai-Cast Supplemental will give you a chance to learn a little something more about Japan, and allow us to clear out our archives of old topics which didn’t make it into the full length show. All in 3-5 minute easily digestible chunks!
This week on Dai-Cast Supplemental, Ian brings you his take on Philip Pullman’s “Golden Compass” in Japan, teaches you a bit about Shinto, and examines the poses and prose in Yakusa 3 and it’s rap music. Plus, mentions of our new website features, and why you should never vote for Beej in our Dai-Cast host poll.
[editors note: The rap song that Ian "performs" are actual translated lyrics from the hit rap song "Kudan" referenced in the episode...]
This week, on Dai-Cast it’s “Dai Cast Zeta”, where we pick one particular topic on Japan or Japanese pop culture, and stick with it, exhaustively expressing our opinions for your education, elucidation, emancipation, and mental emolument, to summarily beat it into the ground, so that we never need to revisit the topic again.
This time around we go into the new immigration practice in Japan of fingerprinting and photographing all foreigners upon entry to the country. We go into what this means to you, and your civil liberties, and then launch off in all directions of personal freedom, security and surveillance.
