I’m a big “Furuhata Ninzaburō” fan. For those who don’t know, “Furuhata Ninzaburō” (古畑 任三郎) is a Japanese homage to the American serie Columbo. Though very different in style from Columbo, Furuhata’s episodes are full of creativity and great writing - obviously, since they are all written by Kōki Mitani, one of the best Japanese director of the 90s-2000s (unfortunately mostly unknown in the West).

You can watch “Furuhata Ninzaburō” at this link: . It has English subtitles (I’ve yet to find the Japanese ones… sad).

I’m talking about this because this YouTuber has made some his own “Furuhata Ninzaburō” episodes, practically shooting everything in his apartment with him doing all the characters. He’s really good at it, both as an actor and as a director!

He speaks with a clear voice and he’s starting to put in captions too.

I really recommend it for anyone who wants to challenge their listening skills.

Have a great night
