This evening in Japan, the unthinkable happened: a paid actor played visual novel Clannad in front of millions on network television. Then, he played Xbox 360 hostesses simulator Dream Club and hugged the television. Nah, guess it wasn't that unthinkable after all. Bizarre, though, as both are rather niche titles. The program typically shows the generation gap between Japanese in their twenties, forties and sixties (and up). For example, it depicts how folks used to go on group hiking dates in the 1960s, while today, young people are more likely to go to manga cafes.
