Billy Blanks is still in Japan, making his way from channel to channel promoting Billy’s BootCamp on Japan’s most popular TV shows. It seems that almost every TV program here is more than willing to turn itself into an infomercial for Billy Blanks’ DVD’s, and of course Billy is more than happy to make such appearances! Here’s his appearance from this morning’s Mezamashi TV, in which he lead a short workout, made his own version of Mezamashi’s calistenics, and picked up a female announcer to use as a weight.
There was also a several second preview of Billy Blanks meeting Shingo Katori’s blackface parody of himself during the filming of an episode of SMAPxSMAP. The show is set to air in July.
Billy leads another morning news workout (aired yesterday morning).
And finally, the filming of the clip above was considered newsworthy.
That man is generating mountains of cash with this trip to Japan!

In the words of one European policy adviser: "While Europe has been itching on the starting blocks for the past decade, Bush has been sulking in the changing room. At least he is now on the track."
It is certainly inconceivable even a few months ago that US President George W Bush would have signed up to such a stream of resonant phrases about the importance of early action to tackle climate change.
He was even persuaded to put his name to a statement promising to strongly consider at least a halving of global emissions by 2050.
Previously it has been hard to engage the White House in any conversation that touched on the notions of limits.
I understand that the stated refusal of the United States to join the fulsome commitment from the European Union to a 50% cut was based on the absence of key players from emerging economies at the table.
They arrive on Friday, so we shall see then what progress is made.
