Kazuko Hosoki is the most popular clairvoyant not only in Japan but in the whole world. She has published more than 100 books and her TV shows are followed by a huge audience.

Bookstore section specially dedicated to Kazuko Hosoki books.

Guests that visit the TV shows of Kazuko Hosoki are “judged” live. Generally she is quite kind with the boys and she is very strict with the girls. She is usually criticized for being too traditional (and even sexist) but she is still worshipped by millions of Japanese women. In the following video you can see the visit of Bon Jovi to Kazuko Hosoki show:

It still amazes me how Hollywood stars are treated when they visit Japanese TV shows to promote their movies. This time it’s the turn of Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino, who visited Japan to promote Inglorious Basterds. In the “interview” they barely say anything interesting, they just eat and eat, Brad Pitt says that his children love Ghibli movies and Tarantino says that every time he comes to Japan he fills up his luggage with Godzilla figurines, DVDs, vynil records and other stuff that you can’t find in the US.

The girl in the video works typing subtitles in real time for Japanese live TV shows. It is just amazing to see how fast she can type and how she does it doing combos with a tiny keyboard. It is even more awesome if you think that daily Japanese uses around 2000 different characters, she can type all those characters using so few keys!
