Hi,
Im new to this site. I was in Japan last year on my first visit and I caught a programme on TV that looked very funny but I have no idea what it was. ive been looking all over for it in DVD shops in Tokyo when I returned this year but I havent a clue what it was, Ive been hoping I would somehow stumble accross it but Ive no idea even of the title (im not a Japanese speaker and cannot read a word of the language yet).
As far as I can remember it was set in the past- traditional dress- and it involved a lot of people running around a village doing something with a wig (hairpiece) and they were doing a kind of fitting
for this wig on the head of one of the important people in the village but they kept taking it away- at some point this wig ended up getting thrown into the top of a bush and they had to get it down–There was some kind of important dignitary who arrived and just as he went to meet this other guy the wig was fitted to his head with bits of bush in it.
The other thing was it seemed to keep jumping back to the future as there was a couple of people who seemed to be either communicating with the people in the show or comentating on it from some kind of studio- so I dont know if it was about time travel or something.
It looked very contemporary with lots of shaky camera footage- almost documentary style. It could have been a film but Im sure it was a series.
Any ideas anybody (sorry-I know this is a bit vague but its the best I can do).
