"Adam And Joe Go Tokyo" was a series of eight episodes created for the BBC's then fledgling channel BBC Three (also airing in full on BBC One at a later timeslot as promotion for the new channel). It starred Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish of The Adam And Joe Show and aired between 30 May 2003 and 25 July 2003. The aim of the show was to offer an alternative insight into the lives of Tokyo's citizens, with the obligatory look at a number of gadgets and toys along the way. The show took the format of a mature Blue Peter outlining many pastimes of the average (or less so) Japanese person, everything from competitive speed eating to manga cosplay. Each episode would end with a Japanese band joining the show to perform.

Gaijin Invasion

Each week Adam and Joe documented their attempts to become "Big In Japan". In one episode, they resorted to busking in a local park. They performed an unnamed tribute to Tokyo wearing sneakers and black diving suits. As luck would have it, they were spotted by somebody working for a Japanese music television program and were asked to participate in it.
