Nasubi in English!

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 | Japan Stuff, Videos

About 10 years ago, a Japanese TV station locked a guy in a room, took away all his clothes and belongings, and made him fill out magazine cards for prize drawings. And these winnings would be the only way he could survive. He had to win his food and clothes and such. This went on for months, and Japanese TV audiences loved it. Crazy stuff.

If you don’t remember this story, here are all the wacky details. I know a lot of regulars to my site really liked this story for some reason a few years back.

Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because you can now see some Nasubi videos subtitled into English! Click here!

I need to see more Nasubi.
NOW.
As tragic as his situation is, I need to see the triumph of the human spirit against incredible odds.

and only one Ep is easily findable. <:|

I think they’ll add more, because I think they started putting these Japanese shows up only this week. In the meantime, check out these things, they’re also very cool and similar.

Darn, that sucks you can’t see it outside of the U.S. Do proxies work at all? Surely somebody somewhere has figured a way around it.

I wish I could see it! I find it nowhere! I would search in japanese but…I don’t know it well enough to watch without subs.

For some reason, reading that article about Nasumi made me feel really, really sad for him. The part about the people forgetting his rice kinda made me want to cry. XD But it’s also very interesting.

I am tied between options #2 and #3.
Apparently, this video is angry against Puerto Rico.
