Favorite Japanese Music Show

Since there's a poll about variety shows, doinkies thought I'd make one about music shows. What's your favorite Japanese music show? I'd probably say Music Station, Utaban, or Music Fighter...my least favorite is CDTV because the CG host characters' voices are really high-pitched and annoying, but doinkies still watches it anyway when I get the chance just to see the performances and chart ranking (though they use their own chart rather than the Oricon chart).

My favorite defunct music show is probably The Best Ten, which aired from 1979 to 1989 (IIRC)...a nice doink has been uploading episodes of it on JPOPSUKI and I've got most of the ones that have been uploaded so far...I wish it was still on the air today. Sad

WARNING: Old man on the premises...

My favorite musical show is ＮＨＫ歌謡コンサート (NHK Kayo KONSATO or NHK Song Concert). Virtually ALL enka and kayo music.

I don't know half the music shows on the list. The only ones I've ever watched Music Station, Utaban, and Heyx3.

..........and maybe Music Fighter. I'm not sure if I'm getting that confused with Music Station as well.

I really like the Domoto Brothers show, but does that count as a music show? Unsure

Music Fighter... I love Aoki Sayaka teamed up with King Kong... their talks with the guests are always a hoot!

They still have quite a few weekly enka shows on NHK.

I wonder what will become of enka as Japan's youth ages... I mean, I crack jokes about how I love Itsuki Hiroshi and Sabuchan.... and jokingly do enka style clap-alongs to modern music... but, I never really can get into it.

Music Fighter with Aoki has pretty replaced Utaban for wackiness for me Smile

Yay! I'm not the only fan of Best Ten. Ah for the days of Wink and Bakafu Slump and Hikaru Genji (roller-skating on top of Tokyo Tower no less Crazy

)

Music Station is pretty much it for me at the moment, though I will watch all the year end specials. CDTV's year-end really impressed me last year, but I haven't been able to get into the series itself. Same with Heyx3.

If I could just get a TV Asahi satellite feed... I think I would never leave the house.

Hi! I'm new here. Well, since I can't poll 2 which is both my favourite: Music Station and CDTV, I decided not to poll. I just state it here just in case you ppl are counting the poll.

Music Station! Their year end special is superb and i like the fact that it's a live show. Tamori-san, whoa ... why do i have a feeling he'll be hosting MS till he dies. Dou Mariko's soo cute! She looks like a dolll Smile

then it's Hey!x3 > Utaban > MF
