JIBTV
JIBTV is an English-language online TV channel run by Japan International Broadcasting Inc, a company affiliated to NHK (Japan's national TV station).
Had Kevin Cooney and Mr X who work at NHK at the office today to discuss stuff.
One of the things we talked about is the J Bloggers blog at JIBTV that I and a few other gaijin reporters write for.
Apart from the Goodsmile official English blog I will be writing full time for JIBTV too so you may want to take a gander from time to time.
JIBTV also feature live broadcasts in English about Japan which you should be able to see from your region. Due to some broadcasting regulations, folks in Japan unfortunately wont be able to view the online streaming.
We also talked about possibilities of a TV slot on NHK for me and I'm currently thinking of some scenarios - but not the type that DC member Tenrou posts ^^;
If you got any ideas then let me know. A few things I already have in mind are more office visits of figure, anime and manga creators.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Oh oh... another idea would be to get a foreign star (like Billy Herrington) and translate for him/her, especially if they're getting a figure made out of them ^^

Cool, you're definitely making it big eh Danny? ^^
As for your own show, how about, "Danny's OO(Double O)",
where OO stands for Outside's Otakus.
From my experience here in Japan, a lot of Japanese doesn't even know that their animes, games, are really popular in the outside world. And that there's a lot of awesome otakus out there who's really can't live without animes( me included )!!
Show it to them Danny! Show them the Otaku Kingdom outside of Japan! XD XD

A TV show about you would be great.

Danny's own segment on NHK I see, the slot will be on Japanese television right?
I look forward to seeing what interesting things come up. Don't forget to throw in some stormtrooper antics.

Hopefully you won't get so busy that you can hardly post on here anymore, but, much luck with that for in the future!

Well a tour of anything is fine with me ;p
That would be nice to see the creative types (manga/anime) and how they work. How about interviews with popular cosplayers or just cosplayers in general?
Student & Working
Yup, visiting cosplayers is something that would be really interesting, asking them about their hobby (like how do they make costumes and stuff) and how they got into it. Girl cosplayers are preferred of course!:)

You should try to guide those who lost thier directions in the way of Otaku, by sharing your experience and knowledge. I see you already doing this on DC.com, but ever tried it on TV?

No more NEET, enineering student now...g
http://saiseki.blogsome.com/
I think visiting anime, eroge, illustrator and figure offices are great.
Anime - a look at the life of an animator. We hear many stories of animators having low pay and leading a rather restricted life, but to actually interview and have a look at the daily life of an animator would be more interesting. you can see the passion of the animator, why he choose to continue working even though the pay is low.
Eroge - Visiting and interviewing companies like Circle, Lump of Sugar, August, Alice soft or Typemoon.
Illustrator - I love illustration and would be great to see how an illustrator lives, where he get his ideas from and his daily life.
Figure - GSC, Max factory, Megahouse... All your figure companies ^^
You could also go into seiyu interviewing or Japanese anime music bands.
So Danny is now a TV host? ^^;
For 8 weeks im a NEET
How about life as a stormtrooper.

I think you already have plenty of interesting material to work with! Office tours, Interesting foods to try, little out of the way places that are cool to visit. and of course stormtrooper! Also maybe more on the computer side of it like this mirai gaiea? don't know if I spelled it right :0 I'm not really sure what that is ^^; plus the motivational speeches and tips for foreigners looking to expand their opportunities in work and life are good.
Film Student, BA
That sounds awesome! I should definitely check this out sometime.

Whoa, Danny has his own Tv slot! How about having a stormtrooper dance clip every episode？ xD
I agree with Eclair. Maybe you could go to some anime studios or figure companies and have an insight of their work? That would be cool!
Looking forward to it :D
Graphic Designer
Wow, that's awesome! :3

Super news there Danny! For the ideas for a TV slot on NHK, what you listed is good (more office visits of figure anime and manga creators) as it is what you are about as a person. Hearing actual stories and interviews from the people who make anime and manga happen is something that seems to be missing outside of Japan I think. I think you have the tact to ask the right questions to keep it interesting and also make interviews so refreshing that they will not fear being interviewed again.
Incorporating what you do with your 'this week in Japan' segments as well as including your wife without any personal privacy lost that is, would be good. Like how much fun you had visiting this place and what you all found at that place or restaurant. Seeing other people having fun and enjoying something is usually a welcome topic. Just an idea as I am not to sure I can explain it. But its the things you already do that make you YOU.
Hope you get to do it.

I would look at that website, but 'Download Microsoft Silverlight' I already have vista on this, I always fear that installing silverlight will break my pc (as most microsoft updates have so far), so as yet I haven't.
On another note, BIG LEAGUES DANNY!

Yay! Tokyo Cooney, he's a good guy. Danny, you could do a slot on Otaku culture!! It would be great, because actually we get NHK here in California (via Satellite).

QUICK QUESTION:
Hi Danny, will J-Bloggers have a featured feeds section? I am preparing to launch my personal blog next week about Asian Culture in Southern California and I was hoping to share traffic in the future.
Thank you,

Wow, congrats Danny ^^ Maybe make a contest about scenarios? The ones you pick get a prize!
Kinda interesting that an online TV channel owned by NHK cannot be seen by people in Japan. I would think they would have more regulation problems with foreign countries than their own.

It's good idea to visit ACG related Office!
eg, CAPCOM, KADOKAWA, ALTER, KYOUANI etc

Its incredible how far you've been able to come Danny! I'm rooting for you!

http://moosebro.wordpress.com/
Wow, that is some incredible stuff you got going on Danny. Congratz on possibly getting your own show! I think your show should just be about what you write one here. Figures reviews, your walks/drives around Tokyo, any major news going in Tokyo that you would like to share with people. I think you should keep it, more or less, simple and not try to get too fancy. I mean, all of us here at DC.com enjoy your posts, and those are just words and pictures. Actually seeing you talk on a regular basis would be like overkill for us, and I'm sure non-DC people would enjoy it as well. XD
Can't wait to hear updates on all this. ^_^
