Japan has given the world some incredible television, but every once in a while, its game show producers seem to collectively decide that normal entertainment simply isn’t going to cut it.
We’re talking contestants getting launched into mud pits, enduring bizarre punishments, contorting themselves through moving walls, and competing in challenges that sound like they were dreamed up during a fever dream.
