Japanese Game Shows can be a little peculiar and imprudent at times, but these characteristics are what makes them so distinguishable. Popular video sites like YouTube[2] have been used to share some of the most popular clips of Japanese Games Shows. One clip[3] features girls holding their heads in a pen as they're about to release Komodo dragon. Another popular game Just Don't Laugh[4] requires contestants to refrain from laughing in public places as actors tries to get them to laugh.
