  • Morning Girls? Doesn't he mean Morning Musume?

  • Can't get 'Love&Pop' anywhere! Gonna have to start mail ordering my Asian cinema!

  • 240p we meet again...

  • this is strong image tv!

  • In latin America there's a pop band called Menudo that's been around about thirty years or so and just like that Japanese group, when the boys start to become men they get the boot and a newer model comes in. Very weird practice but it's kept them popular.

  • You guys don't have a clue if you think Ross is a racist, he's crazy about Japan he loves them. Just because he said 'unlike in Britain' you think he's having a dig at Japan, well you are wrong. There are parts of Japanese culture like enjo kosai which is disgusting but that doesn't mean he hates all Japan.

  • @mancunionmale

    Seriously. In fact Ross is even being sarcastic here. He poked fun at British pop stars all the time on his show.

  • I had no idea Hideaki Anno did live-action movies until now. I used to hate his Evangelion anime because its last few episodes were psychological mindfucks, but I eventually came to appreciate it over the years as I grew up.

    As for Anno's "Love & Pop", it seems like it probably played a big role in Japan's law against compensation dating in 1999. The first-person camera shots are also interesting, because I've always had that same idea myself and wondered why filmmakers aren't using it.

  • School girls dating OLDER men for cash to buy things? Sugar daddy much?

  • I'm a 'liquor lover', think I've been misrouted..! :-P

  • Golden Liquid? A line was definitely crossed there.

  • What?! Love and Pop is only 110 minutes! Was there a longer cut in Japan? Good, short interview with Anno-san, though.

  • @xLindsey777MCRx Everyone is a prostitute

  • Did Junko Mizuno do the art for some of the title...things?

  • jeez we have our fair share of problems in the uk to but that presenter is being a racist dick head

  • @azariablack i'm not from the uk but johnathan ross is the man, i don't think he's racist. otherwise he would not have put so much time into this show.

  • @nero2kewl hes actualy a pretty big Otaku, but with the rules of the Uk and all, it was pretty hard for him to realy say what he meant with a lot. 

  • YAY~~!! Morning Musume FTW~~~ haah Souda! we're alive~~!!

  • Stupid limey bastard facist doco!

  • racist BBC

  • $/$/$/$/$/$/$/$

    

  • it funny how he is so critical of Japanese culture ( although i agree with him on some points) looking like the joker

  • 1:18 Unceremoniously replaced? Morning Musume girls do have a graduation ceremony around age 22 or so I think.

  • MORNING GIRL FTW! :)) WTF!

  • LOL I love the narrator's unabashed mocking of the Japanese entertainment industry.

  • Is that Junko Mizuno's artwork in the cartoon shorts?

  • Why the fuck is Jonathan Ross dressed up like Austin Powers? My respect for him just went down the toilet.

  • Ooh, was that Morning Musume? :D

  • Oh there's a manga called Syndrome 1866 and it talks about some schoolgirls selling...there...body...0.0

  • Another example of arm-chair anthropology. An absolutely abysmal show on Japan and the Japanese.

  • what is the song in 0:32 i've been looking for that for a really long time....really long...

  • @SlowRkers this song is MOMOIRO NO KATAOMOI(peach colored one-side love) sung by AYA MATSUURA. english tiitle is wrong maybe, i cant translate it in right english. sorry if it is wrong.

  • Err, there's plenty of throw away idols in UK history... And some of the Morning Musume can actually really sing and dance... : )

  • @philipho188 most of Morning Musume, excepting Sayumi, Koharu, and to some extent, Rika.

  • @Itzechan

    Yer Sayu is there for eye candy... But I still love her... ; )

  • @philipho188 Actually, who doesn't? <3

  • it's kinda stupid to put utada hikaru on this as one of the "disposable pop stars"...considering she's sold 50 million albums world wide (wiki)

  • VERY CUTE !

  • Who cares?

    I want a cup head.

  • matsuura aya , morning musume <333

  • Love and Pop is a great film if ye don't mind me disturbing yeer wee debate.

  • stfu

  • @U3456121 aye, but legal age is still 13, correct ? . anyway, i really dont care, japan can do what they want, its THEIR country, not ours.

  • OMG its actually legal to have sex with a 13 year old in japan im 20 so its legal even though shes bearly hit her teenage years thats a bit scary (Holy Shit) looks like half the government has that school girl fetish

  • its sad why the girls think that way, cute pa nman nila

  • i like morning musume :D

  • Interesting. Normally when it comes to Japan, it's people and it's culture, I'm all about love and positivity but when it comes to the school girl thing, it is just sick and repulsive. Luckly, some laws and severe penalities have been issued forth. Time for Part 3. Hail Japanorama.

  • whats the name of that song in the first music video of the woman with the red hair?

  • Its call traveling by utada hikaru. She's a great singer.

  • The schoolgirl thing is just disturbing, pretty as they are this is not something I want any girl to experience. Even less likely if I move to Japan with my girl and have a daughter in the future. Hell no!

  • Sunkan, keep in mind the legal age in japan is 13.

  • For prostitution? :P I still feel like it's bad. No defending this on my part atleast ;-)

  • sunkan haha, im not sure about that !, i would doubt it, but legally the age seams to be 13.

    I dont agree with having the age that low, but i seriously admire the Japanese culture, in this day and age its wonderful to see people doing thing their own way, regardless of how i feel about it, not my country.

  • PS mind you , this is a country who had to suffer atomic war fair, they need to preserve their culture and race no matter what. it might just be practical.

  • It sure is easy to praise Japan as I've seen done by others, and I've done it myself. But with realising the fact that Japan has problems just like any country on this planet, it will be a lot easier to deal with it once you experience them. I've been there and it's amazing. My girlfriend is half japanese so I don't say it's bad. We're even gonna move there in the future.

    But just try to be realistic about it :) ^^ It's not all manga, schoolgirls and sushi you know :P

  • I agree whole heartily with you, and for me schoolgirls and anime are the least interesting things about japan.

    Its just in this current "world climate" of centralization, i am proud of the Japanese no matter what their decisions are, its their world.

  • @Sunkan86 word

  • @Sunkan86 oh it is all about sushi i stab yOU! FOR SUSHI

  • damn japanese men are weird oh well the us is kinda the same.

  • woah that thing about school girls is really disturbing! perverts!

  • Utada Hikaru is FAR from disposable, IMHO!

  • agree'd

    /thread

  • @ToruKun1 PSHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    ha...

  • @Sledrave

    What's so funny about that?

  • @ToruKun1 roger that.

  • in your country but here in japan not like that

    if u waring uniform school....

  • i've also been sexually harassed 2 times on a subway by 2 grown men. That was really scary! I mean 90% of men are pedophiles and extreme fetishes!!!!

  • I have to correct you there... 100% of Men, are perverts, its only, the fact that there are a select few retards, who abuse girls, and women, (raping and such).

    And with the "extreme fetish", who knows? People are way too varied in what they like, for there to be a percentage with that.

  • ahaaaha!!!! ok, thanks for telling!

  • that love and pop footage was scary. The schoolgirls fetish is like really disturbing because i am a schoolgirl and whenever i wear my uniform, men are always starring at me. >:C

  • he was being kinda sarcastic

  • I think he was being sarcastic. :P

  • they make momusu seem replacable ..... not true :(

  • Ah you Yanks, starting fights in so many videos.

  • I know people say having interest in underaged girls is gross or something but a girl at 13 nowadays fking looks grown up. people like other people because of look, age comes after. I think many men are pedophiles, just that people suppress the feeling.

  • what's the name of the anime @ 3:02????

  • You're thinking illogical. How can you just assume that they know what they "get in to" (as you put it) when they have sex with someone younger - but not possibly so with an older person? So the one who is more experienced is always "taking advantage" of the less experienced? Wow. And young teenagers have "lower sexdrives, while older ones have higher"? Always? Wow - you're a regular expert on male/female hormones I hear :)

  • LMFAO At him running from the cuphead people.

  • why is this video gone?!!

    Too edgy for YT, i guess...

  • dude, I saw the love & pop movie with my friends, I'm pretty sure it was the CREEPIEST movie i'd ever seen. It's sad what girls would do for material things...

  • That is very assumptious of you. Not each and every teenage girl in the world is a total dimwit, as you are implying. And also: What's wrong with wanting to fuck someone and then move on? I assure you that its not a "sick fetish" to have the urge to impregnate a fertile and goodlooking young female, its only natural. If you dump someone right afterwards, when they expected more - and their feelings are hurt - then, of course, you are an asshole. buts thats another story.

  • yeah it may be natural for a guy to be sexually attracted to a young, good looking female but when he takes advantage of her and coerces her into doing more than she probably would if she thought it through more, is a different story. and yes, young 16-22 year old's brains have not fully formed in their decision making lobe so it's pretty much true. they're not dimwits but they don't make the best decisions, so is it natural to take advantage of that?

  • Stop assuming that "taking advantage of" is always the case. 16-22? Oh, lets make drivers licences out only to 22 year olds then!(?) If you're old enough to drive a 2ton vehicle doing 60mph on the freeway, then you're old enough to have sex. You don't need to have a fully developed brainlobe to know if you want to have sex or not, and with who. If we only we're supposed to have sex when mentioned brainlobe part was fully developed, then we would hit puberty at 22. Like you probably did? Haha

  • hahaha like i probably did hahahah so hilarious..and biologicially incorrect. If you're going to make a comeback, make it be something that actually..um..makes sense? And read someone's comment before replying because you totally misinterpreted what I said. I wasn't saying 'not have sex' until 22, I was just saying that sometimes a girl doesn't know what she's getting into when she's getting involved with an older man- an older man with a lot more experience and a stronger sex drive than her.

  • Schoolgirls may think this kind of dating is just going out to eat but then when they're out and they get raped, well what else do you call that but getting taken advantage of? We also hit puberty at like 13 years old, which means we're physically ready to have a child- but is any 13 year old you know ready to have a child?

  • Rape is always rape, regardless of how young or old victim/perpetrator is. If someone is taken out for what they believe to be dinner only, but then gets raped instead - of course that counts as being taken advantage of. I didn't say it was okey for an elder to rape a younger person, obviously. That should go without saying.

  • he got crazy also ... he is wearing in blue :D

  • aren't the Morning Girls actually Morning Musume ?

  • Yeah they are, but Morning Girls is the rough English translation.

  • omg that's so scary

  • WTF 6:24 ?

  • "...disposable pop stars, for them, the packaging is much more important than the actual music, unlike in Britain."

    yeah, right. and "the spice girls" was all about the music, right?

  • @bluemonolith88 perhaps he had The Beatles and that sort in mind not Spice girls xD

  • @bluemonolith88 the "unlike in Britain" sounded pretty ironic to me

  • @fuhrerschein2008 i doubt ross was trying to be ironic, and so did the most people here except for you. interesting username, btw. i hope you're successful in baiting people into responding to you with that name, whether or not you even actually are a german and/or nazi sympathizer.

  • @bluemonolith88 thanks a lot for ur reply; I am German and my username means "driver's licence" and has nothing to do with Hitler or Nazis whatsoever - I didn't even think about non-Germans misinterpreting it when I chose it, and even though ur the first one to mention it, thanks for pointing it out.

    Ross's comment sounds to me like typical English humour (I live in England at the moment) which after all is well-known to be hard to understand by non-Brits.

  • @fuhrerschein2008 haha, it actually does mean driver's license! your username did get me to reply to you, though. i suppose it's the word "fuhrer" that makes us non-german speakers to think the nazis. anyway, i'm sure you know that most of non-germans do know that germany now is nothing like the germany during the WWII and is one of the most progressive nations the world. sorry if i offended you in anyway, mr. "driver's license."

  • @bluemonolith88 i'm not offended at all; like I said, for a German it's just a normal word cause fuhrer can mean a lot of things. possibly everyone has thought I'm a nazi for years (scary thought, hope its not true)! I know that even to call urself driver's licence is weird enough, but I tried 2000 usernames all of which were already used so I used this one :)

  • @bluemonolith88 its called sarcasm

  • @lambeosaur dude, ross wasn't trying to be funny or sarcastic. if he were, then he did a horrible job at it, and from watching so many episodes of friday night with jonathan ross, i know that ross is a better comedian than that. ross was just a bit misinformed and flying the flag a little with that comment.

  • @bluemonolith88 Uhm, the line "...Unlike in Britain" sounded very sarcastic to me. That half-beat pause, the slight change of tone and pace - to me it really sounded like sarcasm and self-deprecating humor.

  • @hihiou0zabimaru LOL, Right? Its fucking obviously sarcastic. That guy just went full retard.

  • Very true, TheWhitey.

  • 75 quid for a blow job? my currency(educated guess) calculator says thats about 100 dollars. I think that american schoolgirls should follow thier example and continue there sluty antics while still in school,instead of droping out and becoming crack hores

  • utada hikaru or hikki was unfortunately placed with morning musume/morning girl =.=

  • the whole world should copy japan just be free to do wat ever u want and no one will laugh at u

  • lmao 4:09

  • Haha, Jonathon being chased by cupheads :D

  • So The rate of raping young girls in britain is much higher than japan because British is barbarians.

  • for sure being dirty is not a modern thing ... simply because it is not healthy

  • I like the show.

    However, they give the wrong image to Utada Hikaru, Aya Matsuura, and Morning Musume.

    Which wouldn't be the first time a Westerner had made an attempt to understand and interpret J-pop culture... and failed miserably.

    *I'm not implying that all Westerners are this way, of course.

    They exaggerate and over-emphasize the darkness of Japan. And, while I recognize it's great entertainment value, it's also very misleading.

    Nevertheless, Thank you, Kenada, for the UpL.

  • Can I just say that I absolutely love this show but those pauses every now and again are freaking annoying? xP

  • MORNING MUSUME!! ;]

  • Unceremoniously replaced? Morning Musume? He's wrong! They have graduation ceremonies that thousands come too.

  • seriously japan is all nice but the porstitution gives a so bad image and yeh they need to fix that problem such a waste -_-(i love japan)

  • the Rika-chan shit was annoying.

  • the Rika-chan shit was annoying.

  • OMG IT'S UTADA AND AYA!!!!!!!!!

  • Lets be honest, foreigners are more obsessed with the idea of compensated dating then even the japanese are.

  • I'm not. In fact find compensated dating to artificial to be worth the effort.

  • I mean the concept, not doing it yourself.

  • Evangelion = <3

  • lol @ "compensation dating" looks more like prostitution

  • yeah i mean wtf!! where are the bloody parents??

  • Haha didn't one of them get kicked out for smoking?

  • does anyone know the name of the singer in the pink hat with the strawberry puppets? I seen that music video ages ago but lost it. i'd like to see it again

  • her name is Aya Matsuura, and the song is called "Momoiro no Kata Omoi" (Scattered, Peach-Colored Thoughts)

  • WTF, they sell spit? wow, that is phucked up if I do say so myself.

  • Yeeeeess.

  • Morning Masume AKA Morning girls.

  • Morning Musume (actually)= "morning daughters"

  • Morning Musume give me a headache. My friends used to play "Strawberry Pie" very loudly to me every morning! D::. D'espairsRay all the way xD

  • DING! STURABI PAA'AA'AAAAI, STURABARI PAAI FOOO YOUUUUU~(8) *chuuu*

  • You brainwashed moralist westerners are a bunch of winers and old ladies. "Oh no they have a different view and approach to sex and dating, its wrong just because my trendfeminist ways says so!"

  • not all of us are like that.

  • Well I have to amit if your a man of 30 going haveing sex with underage girls is wrong, its horrible and abusive, which is wrong in any culture.

  • Why 30? How about 20? How about 15? What in the human psyche equals: "more age difference = more disgusting"? Who made that up?

  • well 15 would usally mean that the person in question is around the same age. 20 is really pushing it, there is a whole greay area when its like 18 year old and a 15 year old as they would still be in the same generation if you get what I mean. But the reason why, as you put it "more age difference = more disgusting" is because it usally means someone praying on someone who is too young to fully understand and so takes advantage of that inocence to do something abusive and just wrong.

  • Even the most libaral of people draw the line at that. The fact you don't see any thing wrong in sexual preditors makes me think you might be on the sex ofenders list.

  • The answer is normative behaviour, social patterns and programmed mind of sheep people.

  • So at 13 you knew ethery thing about sex and your body and strong enogth to not be prayed apon by someone much older than you? You know what I carn't belive I'm having a agrument about this. Normative behaviour and being sheep dosen't go hand in hand, but mabey its for the best you think that so you don't feel guilty for wanking over underaged tentical henti or whatever its called, just stay away from any children you peado.

  • Thats a stupid argument. You will never know "everything" about anything. But FIY yes I was pretty damn mature at 13. Pointless discussing with you since you resort to namecalling and assuming me "peado" just cus I dare to debate a controversial issue.

  • I was only taking up the issue of the psychologial and socioemotional matters that makes people uncomfortable with someone BEING OF LEGAL AGE OF CONSENT (which u seem to have missed) who hooks up with someone older.

  • Well its the fetision of underage school girls I find disgusting. And youve changed your tune a bit, I thought you said ( or at least implied that) underaged having sex with a mature adult was allright? The fact you are 13 sugests that you don't know whaat you talking about. Do you mean to say your sexualy confident and mature enogth to engage in a relationship with someone who is 30?

    And even in places like Mexico were the age of consent is 13 its still taboo for a relation ship like that.

  • Im not 13 Im 25 darn it . Read that prior post thoroughly. And besides, if one is 40. Does that mean "you dont know what youre talking about" compared to someone who is 60? Yes there is a big difference, but still very assumptious. Most of the "kids are clueless" attitude in this comes from that we know others will crucify us if we dare to challenge the social norms and brand us "peados", worst stigma ever.

  • Err you fuckin pervert! Fuck it I done agruing with you if think its alright to fuck underdeveloped person than you have some serious fuckin problems YOU WERDIO. The way you try to justify your views make you sound like some sexpest!!!

  • Underdeveloped? Yeah your brain maybe. How is a 16 year old girl "underdevoped" ? What are you, some kind of fanatic christian cult-member? You totally misinterpret everything I've said, and you are displaying ignorant behaviour trying to twist it into that Im "trying to justify pedophilia". You should read a book on what that really is before you act smart. Your definition of little pure innocent children=everyone under 20 ? Heard of a thing called biology? Or is that "forbidden" knowledge?

  • Well from where I'm from 16 is the age limit so that informs what I see as ubderage, but even still you seem to what to justify 13 kid embarking on sexual realtionships with adults which is creepy. Now I'm liberal about sex (and a atheist)but there is something desgusting about the fetishasion of underage teenagers and children but thats just me.

  • underage children, yes I agree there. But what I was getting at, was the definition of those terms. Seeing that they differ from nation to nation, culture to culture etc. And as I mentioned, even ABOVE that age, people still look down on older ones being with younger ones, lets say girl 17 and dude 35.

  • The psychologial and socially normative phenomena that triggers people to go "thats sick!", even though the younger one in this case obviosuly isn't some small asexual (lack of sexuality) kid still playing with toys, interests me.

  • Because they are still unexerianced, bet you thought your were in the know at 13 but a mature realtionship with a man would have scared you for life.

  • Gender-perspective. The common rage among people would probably not be the same if genders were reversed, i.e the younger person being male and the elder person being female. Also, thought-experiment: Imagine being a 100years old, but in the body and physical appearence of a 15year old boy. Would being with a 15year old girl then make you a sexual predator? Would being with a 70 year old woman make you a Gerontophiliac? (fetish for old people) Appearence seem to matter as much as actual age.

  • Yes it would because your much older than girl and so the whole maniputive predetory aspect rears its ugley head, doen't matter about how old he looks. That sounds like does prdetors on online chat rooms pretending to be a young kid, and thats just some nasty shit, truely disgusting.

  • Then, I'm curious here, what would you say the age would be when you stop "automaticly" being and object of sexual predatorism ? When are you "old enough" to have older partners? I mean you wouldn't have a problem with your neighbours wife being 40 and he 55 , right?

  • You don't know jack about neither Japan or biology. You also don't know how to properly apply the word pedohile. You're just some religious puritan with a narrow mind, brainwashed from false morality you've been fed with. Take a course in biology and psychology before you start ranting your uptight beliefs. Everything you been taught is right!! Everything else, everywhere, is wrong!! Cus so says god!!! (or perhaps your mother?)

  • oh really? couldn't remember that being discussed in either subjects...you sound like a real pedophile dude...no matter how you look at it it just wasn't right...you're saying when you're 100 and trapped in a 15 year old body should you be called pedophile?well let me tell you, in reality that is just plain fucking stupid...it's crazy...there's no way it's gonna happen...even botox couldn't make a miracle like that...haha

  • btw, i'm not religious or anything, i don't even go to church...i'm basing all this on my own morality...

  • and you sound just like the ignorant fucktard you are so lets just leave it like that ;) btw. dont ever come to japan, it'll blow your fragile little bitchmind. Stay in the bible-belt where its safe and strict, where you can fuck your cousin legit in holy marriage. :)

  • As long as the one partner is at least of age enough to understand and make decisions (some nations 13, others 15, some 18etc) but lets say puberty or post-puberty. PEople still see it as "praying on" which contradicts itself, since "praying on" would have to mean one being under age of comprehension mentioned.
