Did it occur to no one at #Netflix that Atsushi Tamura should be dubbed by Mike Judge? #LoveVillage

So I guess this is a side of Atsushi Tamura that maybe Japanese audiences don't see a lot of? Sharing his own life experiences, sympathizing with the #LoveVillage housemates. There's one person he and Becky both like to pile on, but it's hard not to agree with their assessment.

Atsushi Tamura - Wikipedia

Thanks to the show #LoveVillage, I now have "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" stuck in my head, which is a welcome change from "And Your Bird Can Sing" ... I like that song, especially the bridge, but not days-at-a-time like
