Japanese TV Show Entertains Matt Damon

The Japanese TV show Let’s Go to School recently had Matt Damon meet world whistling champion Takumi Gima:

In the video they also have Matt try on some glasses, which they claim are very popular in Japan right now:

Yet another foreign celebrity leaves Japan with the impression that this is the most bizarre country on earth: thanks, Let’s Go to School!

I think most celebrities enjoy Japanese entertainment-way of interviewing. It’s fun but at the same time, it’s weird. I rather have a fun interview than a boring one. I love this type of celebrity interview. I wish you have more, James.

“I wish you have more, James.”

As do I. It’s a great show when they manage to get big name foreign guests.

Thanks. I alway enjoyed seeing Hollywood stars being interviewed in Japan. The awkwardness and the things the Japanese do to impress the guest. Matt Damon seems like a really nice guy.

I saw Matt on a recent SMAP show where there cooked him a variety of food, including an awesome looking “Red Sox Pizza” shaped like the team’s logo. Matt looked extremely tired, as he had come straight from the airport to the studio!

Sadly this clip was taken down before I could see it…

The clip in this post still plays on youtube for me. I don’t think it’s been taken down.

Mad!!!

Hey, would anyone happen to know where that tune (2nd one with the little girl) is from? I can’t get enough of it

Try to youtube the title “情熱大陸”. 葉加瀬太郎(Taro Hakase) a Japanese violinist is the performer of this piece.

the girl is incredibly creepy looking, and it’s rather disturbing how sexualized she is.
