This show is emceed by the aging boy band Tokio and consists of several members, sometimes all, doing several different missions or activities on the show. One of the most interesting is a tiny minivan that they rebuilt to run on electricity with a solar panel on the roof. With this, they drive around the shores of all of Japan's islands seeing how far they can go and stopping off at interesting locations here and there. I have forgotten where they left off but I believe they've gotten around most of the major land masses.
Another segment involves a farm where they will grow plants and well as live stock. Make thing from scratch like a pot or even food. Also, they will provide general informaton on a number of random subjects. They have from time to time, sought out the best restaurant for such and such in particular cities and villages. Historic walks through some of Japan's most modern areas have been used to contrast then and now. Engagements against local townfolk with waterguns are some activities they have been know to participate in. Taking a dip in the most nondescript onsens, if you can even call them that, that only locals know about.
The show is fun and informing. The members do not take things too seriously and are still happy to participate even if they lose a bike race to a train. I am fortunate enough to be able to rent this show and others on DVD at a shop in Japantown. The membership is free and a 3 night rental is only $2.
