Netflix Global Top 10: Did not reach Global Top 10
Iconic TV personality Matsuko Deluxe --- who famously only commutes between home and TV studios --- steps out to experience everyday Japanese culture firsthand, visiting places like Ichiran ramen, conveyor-belt sushi, internet cafes, and meeting viral rapper Yuki Chiba in his hometown. The tone is warm, candid, and gently humorous as Matsuko reacts to ordinary experiences with genuine curiosity and sharp-tongued honesty. Originally a NTV New Year's special, the Netflix director's cut includes unaired footage, presented as a standalone one-off variety program.
