Anything from the latest in the AV World, to a tour of BDSM places and the correct way to flog a patron! I kid you not...I have lots of tapes of the show but there have been some DVD releases as nostalgia. I don't think a full box set has been released owing to one of the hosts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_Iijima) dying in 2008. Some interesting info on the show here:

Lol....I used to watch that show but it was one of the most perverted shows on television....

As for Japanese television, I think I may be the exception as I have been watching variety shows and J-dramas since the '90s. Granted, the only daytime show I watch is "Pon!" (10:25-11:25), I watch a lot of the prime time stuff but probably have to DVR them if I lived there as everything I like is so late.

Yeah, the time zone issue was what spurred development of PVRs for IPTV boxes from China and Asia. No longer do buyers have to get up early in the morning to watch their fave shows. Down to "set it and forget it" now...
