i was thinking about that, they'll either have to go back to having separate "audition special" shows (where they air footage of it on a different time slot, or temporarily replace their current time slot with audition footage), or the outdoors stuff is going to be mixed in with other things.
Let's hope. Although Amped makes a good point. Just like there are things such as country music and NASCAR that don't necessarily translate well outside of certain segments of America, or cricket which doesn't translate out of the commonwealth, Japan has a fascination for its own home-grown country life, which might be tiresome to some outsiders.
hmm.. i'd be okay with that if it changed every week (or every few episodes). i guess we'll see. couldn't they have started with "Hello! Space Life"? idols in space, now that i would love to see. <- upside-down from 0 gravity.
