Bury the wires now. It's the ugly side of Japan that needs to change. The wires are ridiculous. Tokyo will never be seen as a top city in the world with electric wires everywhere, poles sticking out everywhere, making walking and driving difficult. This is the true shame of Tokyo Electric. Most Japanese have just given up on trying to change things because they are taught that they are individually powerless to make changes in society and the best choice is to conform. They hate the wires too but can't imagine they could do anything about it. Please call Tokyo Electric and tell them you want your wires buried in front of your place. 0120-995-002****

In Japan no one asks how the acts are decided and there is a mystery surrounding who gets on the show and why. Yet getting on the show is the key to the next year's money. Totally corrupt system.
