Geinōkai

The Geinōkai (芸能界?) is the world of Japanese entertainment, encompassing everything from movies and television (including talk shows, music shows, variety shows, etc.) to radio and now the internet.

Members of the Geinōkai are referred to as Geinōjin (芸能人?) or tarento.

Tarento (talent) refers to a rather large group of people who appear on television from night to night, but cannot be quite classified as actors, singers, or models, or comedians (and are thus given the more vague appellation of "talent" instead). Tarento usually appear on variety shows or talk shows and may later move into acting or singing if they are successful.
