welcome newsZERO

Japan is a place of restless changes. that applies to food products as well as with television. so, seeing new kinds of sweets every month and your favourit ones disappearing suddenly from shelves (like the melon-pan filled with green melon cream, or the peach juice with little peaces of peach) that doesn't necessarily mean the end of it. they certainly will appear again under a different name or by a different company, a few months later.
these days some recycling was done on television. on channel 4 they started a "new" news programm called "news zero". very amusing name, isn't it. infact it works the same way all japananese news programms work: five to six people sit on a long table, preferably old journalists on one hand and young good looking girls on the other. everyone presents some kind of story that might be called news even. the old guys present more serious ones than the young girls, obviously...
after that everyone comments on the other one's story, comments range from "how sad" to "that sounds fun", period. usually world news are excluded.
so, the zero is actually quite faithful to the concept ;)
