To romanticize Japanese entertainment is to ignore its shadows. The industry is notoriously brutal regarding mental health.
While streaming has eroded traditional TV in the West, Japanese terrestrial television remains remarkably powerful. Shows like Gaki no Tsukai (known for the "No-Laughing Batsu Game") rely on a specific form of physical comedy and celebrity humiliation that is uniquely Japanese. The culture of batsu (punishment) games reflects a social pressure to conform; watching a famous comedian suffer a comedic consequence for breaking a rule is cathartic in a hierarchical society.
