It's back! The Wheel of the Worst returns with a new collection of tapes. What will fate pick for our intrepid heroes this time? Shoji Tobuchi? Dancing Grandmas? Whatever it picks, nobody will be happy.

Shoji was a great dude. He paid my bills for a decade and contributed to my overall yearly income for an additional 10 after that. The show was what it was. It was exactly as you explained - it was made not to be too “out there” for bus loads of church groups. That said - from 1993- roughly 2005 there were 2000 asses in seats 2 to 3 times a day. Just for the record - that video was torture to make. We worked 70 -80 hours a week already. It got worse when we made videos. Also the musicians, singers were from all over the US. We were well paid but we put a ton of blood, sweat and tears into that place while they paid us. JT Lynn - is your “Dahmer” referenced guy. You couldn’t meet a more talented and kind man. The musicians in our band over the years went on to do all sorts of great things on tour with whomever you can imagine. Shoji was a great dude and he did embody the American dream.

My aunt took my grandma on one of those all-inclusive bus trips for seniors to Branson. I sent her with a question from this episode, and she came through in spades. She didn't get to ask Shoji himself, but she did ask his daughter... Turns out the only reason he asks for no cameras during his Nasa Fiddle segment is that it messes up their glow-in-the-dark special effects. He does allow photos of the fiddle when it's not needed for the show. Sorry if someone already explained this one below.

This just in, well some months ago but still: Shoji Tabuchi, a major attraction for decades, is known as the “King of Branson.” His theater was severely damaged by fire in 2017, so the show was moved to the Clay Cooper Theater. It was discontinued during most of 2020, however, but will resume at the restored Tabuchi Theater in 2022. Be cool about fire safety.

That would a pretty specific, strange thing to try to get clout for, seeing as this video is years old and Shoji basically handed out autographed DVDs to anyone who went to his shows. My grandparents went to Branson like ten years ago and saw a bunch of shows -- Shoji was just one of the ones they went to. I didn't know about it until I was going through my grandfather's stuff after his heart attack when he needed to be moved to a care facility. I gave the poster and DVD to my best friend, who is also an RLM fan. I'll try to find his tweet and post it here, but be warned, he is a furry, lol.

While i was teaching in japan I befriended a seriously westaboo jehova's witness and began going over to her parent's house for dinner and to sing old western folk songs along with the piano. At first it was super awkward but they were actually really lovely, warm people and their obsession with old west dress and culture was kind of a charming counter balance to the awkward weebs I have known in the states. They'd meticulously collected things like the lyrics of tunes like On Top of Old Smokey. Considering I'd never learned any version except the on top of spaghetti one, I got educated a bit more on my own cultural heritage. Weebs might be cringey but I think japanese people feel the same way about them as I felt about my westaboo friend's family- they might be eccentric but their appreciation and love for the culture shone through and they seemed very happy and full of life, and definitely weren't hurting anyone via cultural exchange.

Inspired by this video, I saw Shoji in Branson a couple years ago. His production values are reduced these days. Smaller band. He updated his act with a little modern pop. I got a picture with him which is now lost to time. More importantly: the Shoji Tobuchi Theater has, without a doubt, the greatest men's room I have ever set foot in. I could explain, but it really has to be experienced firsthand.

Weird thing is, Shoji isn't the only Japanese born folk singer. There is also Takeo Ishi in Germany, who is legit one of the greatest jodlers in the world. I personally don't like that kind of music, but the dude tought himself how to play the music with nothing else but his records. Then when he showed up at a jodling event was first treated as a novelty until the crowd realized his pure talent and skill. Even his idol is impressed by him.

Holy shit this blew my mind. I've always been confused as to what the shoji tubuchi show was, thinking it was some Japanese game show or something. In the first few seconds of watching, when I realized the audience was all American I was slightly confused but when I head the woman at the beginning ask if anyone was from Missouri I immediately started wondering if it was recorded in Branson MO. I looked it up before the video was finished and oh shit yes he is... I'm from around Kansas City and have been to Branson before so to fill you in it's a very odd place. Driving through the town it feels like Las Vegas or Reno with big theaters, bright signs advertising different shows and recreations. It also has some big outlet mall shopping centers. It's a very Christian place, lot's of people go there for vacation stuff and shopping.
