For 13 days of the 2010 season Bungy Japan was lucky enough to have famous Japanese comedian / presenter Lou Oshiba (About Lou Oshiba) come to our bungy site to film a 26 episode “Variety Documentary” called Wake Ari Bungy.
The translation for “Wake Ari” is to “To have a reason” so a literal translation for the show would be “Have a reason to Bungy”. The basic concept of the show is that all of the jumpers have something that is bothering them or something that they are not able to do (confess their love to someone, say sorry for something done, find a new job, reconnect with family etc...) and that bungy jumping is going to give them the courage and strength that they need to overcome their fears.
The catchcopy for the show is “In life there are mountains, there are valleys and there is Bungy”
The weekly show will be broadcast around Japan on local TV stations at different times through the year. For a full schedule (in Japanese) please check this website Wake Ari Bungy On Air Schedule
