Really fun and heartwarming at times, I like this show a lot. Are there others like it?

OK but seriously y'all WHO is this detective, the main guy narrating at the beginning who becomes emotional at the end.

My wife and I are certain we know him from a dorama....

Thanks in advance!

(and thank YOU xploring for linking to this amazing show - it was taken off YT but it's on dailymotion and vid.me and there's a reddit page about these fansubs at reddit.com/r/funnyjapan)

The man sitting next to the female host who read out the letter, is Nishida Toshiyuki. He is a great actor.

Glad you like the show. I really like this kind of show, and Japanese variety/game shows and interviews, can anyone recommend where to find more?

Check out the overcoming fears episodes. It's really good to see people overcoming their seemingly irrational fears. The puzzle ones are intellectually stimulating too. The ones with dogs are hilarious. :rofl: There are some about solving relationship problems. Yet to watch them but I think those are probably most rewarding.

edit: Argh! Didn't know the youtube video got taken down. Thankfully people are moving it elsewhere so they are not lost forever.
