Top Japanese TV variety show ‘made up’ foreign festival content

Major Japanese broadcaster Nippon Television Network has been forced to suspend a segment on foreign festivals in its popular variety show after a weekly magazine reported earlier this month that the programme “made up” some of the content.

The programme Sekai No Hate Made Itte Q, in which a popular comedian joins unique festivals around the world, invented festivals in Thailand and Laos, according to Shukan Bunshun.
