Is this a pre-existing show in Japan, or just created? SDSpivey ( talk) 06:50, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
The Japanese audience sometimes react in ways that are unnatural for native Japanese speaker (such as their style of ooh-ing and ah-ing in sympathy with the contestants). Similarly, in a recent episode, when a group of Japanese marches out carrying the loser contestant, chanting "Sayonara," the group mispronounces the word in a way familiar to Americans (putting the emphasis on the first and third syllables, i.e., "SAyoNAra") rather than being pronounced properly ("SaYOnaRA"). This all suggests that the audience was coached on how to react in ways that would be understandable by an American audience and that the Majide show was never intended to air in Japan at all. I wish I could find a source for this on the web, but I haven't been able to ... yet. 98.204.80.231 ( talk) 02:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to note that "Majidae" at the beginning (first episode) of the second season the announcer guy (sorry I don't know his name) explained that Majide means "You Gotta Be Crazy."
For those interested in expanding the article. Here's a short MSN article (interview with the show's host) that talks about some of the production behind the show and general descriptions about it. ( Guyinblack25 talk 16:55, 3 July 2008 (UTC))
Any idea if that hand gesture the host and audience use is supposed to mean something, like Japanese characters or something? It reminds me of the local gang's hand signs. :-) After looking at it a few times, I'm guessing it's for the "M" in "Majide". Bookbrad ( talk) 05:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
In the Infobox, the name of the Majide host is 'Romu Kandu', but in the article, has name is spelled 'Rome Kanda'. Which is correct? 71.111.23.79 ( talk) 04:19, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
I would like to include Andrew Ward [1] in the article, but I can find no mention of his involvement in any credible source. Magellan545 ( talk) 16:37, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
You can tell on the first episode when they are all on the bus that Andrew Ward in the guy on the right side in the blue shirt, because you can clearly see Justin, Ben, Donnell, and Andrew Hayes on the bus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.116.148.190 ( talk) 19:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to slightly expand the Game Synopses to at least include the final 'scores' of each team competition, but haven't found an effective way to display this information.
One possibility (for 'Conveyor Restaurant', from Episode 101):
Team Eater | Team Points | |
---|---|---|
Green Monkeys | Donnell | 10 |
Yellow Penguins | Andrew | 9 |
This article, however, probably doesn't need another table. :( Magellan545 ( talk) 03:16, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Just saw a preview video on TV.com, and one Yellow Penguin will become a Green Monkey on the next episode (Episode #105). I have already written it into the profile of that player. Please do not release (or erase) it until the show airing! thanks. NoseNuggets ( talk) 11:42 US EDT Jul 17 2008.
I started a Rome Kanda page here on Wikipedia (it's currently a stub), and have some details on him about his involvement in ISaJGS. NoseNuggets ( talk) 7:03 PM US EDT Jul 21 2008.
Sometimes when I watch this series, I am confused. Who is being made fun of... Japanese people or American people. They make Americans do stupid things that are embarrasing and degrading. But the Japanese people make weired chants. Very stupid show. WHSV3 ( talk) 00:20, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
How come we know what the four fake doors in Episode 105 are made of, but not the solid doors? If we don't know for sure, I guess we could easily say that the three real doors are made of thick wood. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.232.206.206 ( talk) 02:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know why the title of the game show is written with the characters 本気で? That would be pronounced "honkide" instead of "majide". The meaning of both words is basically the same though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 133.11.100.100 ( talk) 08:07, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
70.180.223.98 ( talk) 21:04, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone believe that we should perhaps start a new page dedicated to talking about Season 2? It seems really cluttered to keep 2 seasons on one page, so how about splitting a new page?
On Niconico Douga this show was uploaded and discussed; they pointed out that the game show is not real, the talent who runs the fake show lives in America, the audience is not Japanese, and the shot of the players gathering at Shibuya Crossing could not have actually been taken from the street. Additionally, there are no shots of the characters wandering around Japan. The only evidence that the characters ever went to Japan is a visit to an onsen which appears later on. Should the page be updated accordingly? Shii (tock) 06:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Sounds like mere rumors to me: There's plenty of shots of the contestants around Japan. The beginning of each season showed the contestants arriving at Toho Studios. Both season one and two had an elimination round called "Making New Friends in Japan" which involved the finalists interacting with the Japanese public. And the awards regularly involved visitations to places around Japan, such as the helicopter tour of Mt. Fuji, or the job pulling rickshaws - just to name two.

I have NEVER seen those logos before. Where did they come from? I thought the logo was the one between commercial breaks with the guy swinging toward the camera (or whatever). I have seen it on both seasons 1 AND 2.-- 66.211.41.50 ( talk) 02:00, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
