It seems like everyone here watches the Superbowl... even if we don't care who wins, we watch the commercials.
Who in Japan watches the Superbowl and what do you think of it?
To tell the truth, I don't think much people besides americans actually follow the superbowl.
I haven't listened to any of the full radio news broadcasts yet today but NHK did have a fairly detailed article on their site so I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least a final score. Here in the US we also get way more interest in and reporting from Japan than Australia....Combination of the time of day that its on (early morning I think, like 8am) and the fact that very, very, very, very few people follow American football, I doubt it even gets on the evening news here - the results were never on Australian TV.
We don't share the same love for soccer, or football, as its called everywhere else but here, but we are gaining some moderate interest...
I wonder if I asked 10 people if they knew who David Beckham was, if they would know the answer, and he's arguably the most public face in football today.Ah but David Beckham hasn't in Los Angeles arrived yet.

While working/living in England for brief stints, I watched a lot more football there, I mean, it's simply available in ways that it isn't here... You're not going to turn on the television and catch Bundesliga in the States at any given time unless you pay some extra cash for (if it eaven exists) something like a Sky-Sports, or football package...
In England its ubiquitous, so it's really actually pretty hard to avoid thumbing through the channels and sometimes seeing two different games going on at once...
We all pay attention during the World Cup, not because we have a team that could even make it in the finals, but because we've become endeared to the fact that we actually do have a team that competes, and I think, people in the United States do love a good competition, the grandness of a game that comes every 4 years.
It's hard to turn away from that sort of thing, everyone seems to be able to root for someone.
it was a few days ago. i watched it. the colts did a good job. it was also for the first time 2 black coaches had teams . number one the bear coach used to work with coach dungy for about 3 years. coach dungy got the players together and was fired and then grulen took over and the bucs won to the superbowel. remember dungy put the team together. ok then he got a job with the colts and worked with them and now they won. god bless him florida did wrong to coach dungy and should have apolized to him. he is a gentleman never raise his voice and does not swear. that is unusal of a football coach. budwiser and coca cola topped on the commercials. i always enjoy the superbowel only i do not watch every day football. thank you kimiko kusumoto-francescaholloway lakeland floridaSabro - you're presuming we all know what it is! I've never seen it. I've heard references to it in movies and kind of know roughly what it is. Rugby with the benefit of extra soft padding and a helmet. You know, I don't think I know anyone who has any idea of American Football in Japan. When is it?
you are ok in my book i like your outfit and your running feet you remind me of the the rabbit for a battery commercial keeps going on and on and on and etc. mars man its unique he he he its cute francescaholloway-kimiko kusumoto hiroshima lakeland floridaI'd have to go along with those above who said that it is very un-watched here in Japan. While, on the other hand, American Football is slowly catching on as another sport.
The other two local institutions of higher education in the nearby area both have American Football teams as well as the usual soccer, rugby, baseball, and so on. In Gusto, a branch of the Sky Lark family restaurant chain, they aways air a report on American Football on the TVs that they have going during business hours.
Who knows...it may catch on more and more. I doubt it would ever overtake baseball, however. (On second thought, get Janet Jackson to do some more and even spicier half-time shows, and I wouldn't be surprized if it over ran prime late time TV here...and be shown in most bars with TVs. hee, hee, hee..)
