    テレビ好きの人ならよく知っていることだと思いますが、「日本すごい」はバラエティの定番ネタの一つですよね。 今日の投稿ではこの長年の風潮に対して、私見を書きます。割と簡単な意見です。 まず、番組の主張は事実だと思います。確かに日本は凄い! でも日本の凄さを伝えるなら、もっと良い方法があるでしょう。 例えば、本当に心が親切な人は「私はすごーく親切な人、みんなそう言うの、ふふ」と言うのでしょうか。もしそういう人がいたら逆に怪しく見えませんか? 声高に言っている暇があるなら行動で示せというか…何かの違和感を覚えますね。 日本凄い系番組に対して同じような違和感を抱きます。 日本凄いなんてわざわざ言う必要はなく、逆に品に欠けているように見られるかもしれません。 やはりあからさまに自慢をする番組より、日本のすごいところを丁寧に[b]見せる[/b]番組の方が好きです。NHK Worldの番組だったの思うのですが、ピーターバラカンさんのBegin Japanologyは良い例だと思います。 テレビ好きな私から一つの提案をさせてもらうと、「日本凄い」ということをテーマにするより、何か別のテーマを通じて日本のすごいところを発見していく方が魅力がより良く伝わるのではないでしょうか? そのような番組がもっと増えるといいですね。

    (English translation by ChatGPT) If you're someone who enjoys watching TV, you're probably quite familiar with this: the "Japan is amazing!" theme has become a staple topic in variety shows. In today's post, I'd like to share some personal thoughts on this long-standing trend. It's a fairly simple opinion. I do think the claims these shows make are true. Japan is amazing, no doubt about it! But if we're going to talk about how amazing Japan is, aren't there better ways to do it? For example, would a truly kind person say, "I'm suuuper kind, everyone says so, teehee"? If someone actually said that, wouldn't they come across as a little suspicious instead? If you have time to say it loudly, wouldn't it be better to just show it through your actions? Something about it just feels off. I get the same kind of uneasy feeling from those "Japan is amazing"-type programs. There's really no need to go out of your way to say how great Japan is—in fact, it might even come across as classless Personally, I prefer shows that tastefully and carefully highlight what makes Japan special, rather than blatantly boasting about it. I believe Begin Japanology with Peter Barakan, which aired on NHK World if I recall correctly, is a great example of that approach. As someone who loves television, let me offer one suggestion: Instead of making “Japan is amazing” the main theme, wouldn’t it be more effective to let viewers discover Japan’s strengths through other themes? It would be nice to see more shows like that.
