Better series, actual good cinematography, idols that are way hotter than modern idols, ability to actually use lighting. How can J--- look at their 80s shows and not realise something has gone very wrong?

You can literally blame everything on this n----- and Johnny Kitagawa. >Sonny Chiba (A stuntman's stuntman who would nearly get himself killed on a routine basis) retired from running the JAC (Now JAE), one of the premier stuntman guilds in Japan that he personally founded, in the 90s and left it to Osamu Kaneda (picrel) - a stuntman whose history was mostly just hopping off of trampolines and doing filler positions instead of any of his proteges, and Kaneda didn't have Chiba's vision of producing action stars, meaning he wasn't hiring stuntmen who were also skilled actors >This contributed to Japanese entertainment's disillusionment with actors who could do stuntwork and action in favor of more glamorous male model actors with little to no action skills >Any multi-threat stuntmen/actors f----- off to mainland Asia (Hong Kong, China, Korea) or the U.S. to further their careers or work in more advisory/director roles >After a few years, the "waifish prettyboy" archetype of actors surges in popularity as a few J-dramas have these prettyboy actors engage in homoeroticism fuel which just immediately makes >Japanese productions moved from "Self-destructive action" to "Attractive people's drama between each other" which further alienated the 70s-80s Japanese star ideal of being a handsome stuntman with good acting skills, leaning in favor of more archetypically "pretty" actors with modeling and musical skills to couple with their acting instead of action, typically from male idol agencies like Johnny Kitagawa's "Johnny & Associates" or Lespros >Ambition and practically-filmed stylishness fall to the wayside because these things don't complement unathletic male models This is the reality of it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply ignorant or doesn't know.
