[kaizokuou0032]

日本のマスコミ＆警察は　男側を罵倒するが　女も同罪で良いと思う　また風俗規制したから　女子に手を出す異常性欲者が増えた、

最近では　このような事を知った　外国人も日本や東南アジアに売春しに来てる　また普通の旅行客に迷惑をかけてる　実際　僕の顔見ただけで　客引きが通行の邪魔するし

[paranoidboytoy]

[alltamura]

この動画の投稿主さんは、庵野秀明氏の監督作品『ラブ&ポップ』­のオープニング映像にYoshinori Sunahara氏の曲を乗っけただけということなんですね。

でも投稿主は、なんで「日本援助交際Remix」なんてタイトル­を付けたのでしょうか？ アクセス数稼ぎのため？

本来なら『ラブ&ポップRemix』でもよかったのではないでし­ょうか？

[ImperialPimp]

Sorry English only - the name "(日本援助交際 Remix)" is really a Tag-name , so that you come to my page to watch this video !! It works !

This video isnt a remix version of MUSIC, its a VIDEO MIX.

1,011,383 people think it was a cool idea !!!

So, you are correct - it is simply the Opening scene of Love & Pop with music by Sunahara.

[alltamura]

音楽もステキなんだけど、映像も凄いです。この映像のディレクタ­ー、撮影カメラマン、そして編集マンがどんな人なのか、おしえて­いただけませんか？

[kaatsu]

映画 『ラブ&ポップ』より

エヴァンゲリオンの庵野秀明監督です。

[alltamura]

kaatsuさん。情報ありがとうございました。村上龍氏原作の­『ラブ&ポップ』だったんですね。早速『ラブ&ポップ』を検索し­て動画を見て、街の電柱のローアングルとか、テロップとか、確か­に庵野氏監督の作品だと納得しましたよw。

[paranoidboytoy]

love this song its so COOL. it makes me feel like im a CEO

[sperle2003]

[duo751111]

[ImperialPimp]

I guess that's what Youtube is all about...

[ilovepuroland]

[ImperialPimp]

The intro track "WaterTree" by the Sunrunners helps a lot too, beautiful track.

[kaku2189]

[1978419]

[csodjomax]

[ImperialPimp]

Trance ?!? You mean ambient techno and then trip-hop....?

[DeRex9]

Good music

[NippleOfNippon]

まりんって今どうしてるんだろ・・

[ImperialPimp]

That's right...

[stekler]

Love this movie!

"Bounce kogals" is another great movie about the enjo kosai theme...

[PriusRider]

One of the girls (at the end; taking meal with the man) wasent she in the seriens "Great Teacher Onizuka"??

The girl that made the photo in underwear with Onizuka in the second episode?

[qcfx2a]

Yup that's her.

[PriusRider]

Whats the name of the movie? I know its 援助交際 cause I installed all "letters" on my system but I cant read kanji x(.

[ImperialPimp]

Love & Pop.

[PriusRider]

Thanks :)

[chimbilae]

i just have seen love & pop i i have to say that hideaki anno is a genius. i don`t know if he have more films...

[MrProsser42]

I believe he directed the animated series Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou and Shin Seiki Evangelion (and I guess the movie End of Evangelion).

I'm not sure what else he has done however.

[50KgGT]

砂原さんがソロでこんなの作ってるなんてしらんかった...。か­っこいい曲出してますねー。

[rogergordon0]

I'm a big fan of Yoshinori Sunahara. He's about the only artist I've ever heard that can turn the simplest, most repetitive loops into the funkiest, sexiest tracks. Check out the rest of his stuff. He's brilliant.

[ImperialPimp]

My sentiments exactly! Check out the new "Love" remix here on Youtube too.

[ami24681012]

現在の日本でもまだ援助交際って続いてんのかな・・・。

まぁ、親爺と喋ってるだけでお金がもらえるんじゃあ女子高生なら­やるねww

日本、危うし！

[danilosierrac]

this sounds are sk kraftwerk! Genius work!

[ImperialPimp]

Thanks, check out all of Yoshinori Sunahara's work, I'm sure you'll love it!

[classy1973]

THIS SONG IS FABULOUS!

[ImperialPimp]

Thanks, I love it too.

The song at the very beginning is called "Watertree", not by Sunahara. "Balance" starts at 00:56 sec.

[triscope]

Btw I love this song. Cant get enough of it. That and lovebeat. I wish Sunahara was more popular he is right now. Its really hard to find his stuff.

[ImperialPimp]

Me too! His style is a great blend of ambient, "trip-hop" and techno - perfect for chillin out to.

[liuwenjie6678]

dicks like to fuck the smelly pussy,bitchs like to take the evil money,bloody trade for stupid japanese pussies...

[triscope]

Just what the fuck are you on about?

[liuwenjie6678]

i am not sure,just try to tell some nice english words,hahaha,actually i was kidding,sorry!

[DrHanuman]

你的英文很牛逼!

[liuwenjie6678]

[DrHanuman]

Sorry, my Chinese is bad. I meant to say your English is good.

[liuwenjie6678]

hehe,ya2 dude...

[chensong007]

日本？

[meisiyan]

oh, and Taiwanese people tend not to have high self esteems, unlike French people's saying no to US culture. I think that's one of the reasons too.

[ohisashiburi]

WHAT U.S culture?? They have NONE!!

[fatesmiles]

Ah yes, we would be the NON Culture that invented Jazz, Rock and Roll and Hip Hop/Rap

[ohisashiburi]

Obviously you have been mislead in your beliefs! NONE of the above are creations of the USA my friend, try looking 'deeply' into 'world music' then rethink your statement...

[fatesmiles]

the fundamentals of all music originate from older "styles". In that light ALL music is derivative. However, that does not negate the fact that disparate styles exist. A Rap song still follows the same rules of classical music but are definitely different. The styles I listed ARE American in origin.

[ohisashiburi]

American= Coca Cola and Levi's..that's it! What are the 'rules' you speak of? Go tell that to Debussy or Beethoven.

[fatesmiles]

music theory applies to all music. taking a music appreciation class, retard. We originated most of the popular styles of music the world now rips off.

[ohisashiburi]

Dream on...if you are taking classes then ask yourself this "who is teaching me and what do they know as FACT??" The British, French, Italians and Japanese (just a few) for example have always been way ahead in the 'arts'. Anything created in the USA is usually done so from 'paid for' talent from Europe.

[fatesmiles]

so the US paid Europeans and the Japanese to invent the Blues? Jazz? Rock? I have no idea why I am wasting my time on you. You are an idiot.

[ohisashiburi]

Superpower made so by 'bought' scientists from Germany, remember? It is ok to insult but do your homework first..like sport too, if they are good enough "let's buy them and make our country look great". Football: 'Champions of the WORLD??' only USA plays the game in any serious way..oh and taken from RUGBY of course.

[fatesmiles]

the fundamentals of all music originate from older "styles". In that light ALL music is derivative. However, that does not negate the fact that disparate styles exist. A Rap song still follows the same rules of classical music but are definitely different. The styles I listed ARE American in origin.

[ImperialPimp]

I've got to say that those styles of music DO ORGIGINATE from the states, specifically from black people. Thats why they call Hip-hop, Soul, R&B, Reggae "Black Music" in Japan!

Most white people out there have a hard enough time understanding that Rock'n'Roll was a black form of music, and that was only 40 years ago!!

I still wouldnt call Yoshinori Sunahara a rip-off merchant, though - he has his own style dude.

[fatesmiles]

I think there is a misunderstanding. I am a fan of all music (except country). I am a multi-ethnic person with formal training in music. I am a fan of Yoshinori. I wasn't implying that he ripped anyone off. I was just defending the US' contribution to modern music.

Anymore?

[timmychen6]

oh, and Taiwanese people tend not to have high self esteems, unlike French people's saying no to US culture. I think that's one of the reasons too.

[timmychen6]

These kind of things have happened throughout the history. Japanese imitated many parts of Chinese culture, like new year celebration, お年玉 stuff, because China was much stronger than Japan. They sent scholars to learn Chinese, then created their own language, that's why there are so many 漢字 in Japanese language.

[timmychen6]

I guess same thing happens in Europe too. Weaker countries pop culture tend to be influenced by stronger countries. If you think about it, you should be able to find out some cases.

[timmychen6]

for example, people in the world, maybe except middle east, listen to American pop and watch Hollywood movies. Those things make people want to dress like the pop stars or thinks the things from there is better.

Japan is the strongest economy is Asia and US is strongest economy in the world. and Taiwan does have relationships with those 2 countries more than with the others. Their pop culture is pervasive to those people.

[timmychen6]

btw, don't smoke pot too much. That kills your brain cells~.

[ImperialPimp]

Obviously , you have never even smoked weed before, huh? Actually pot STIMULATES your mind a lot (a Psychoactive drug) this is why so many great artists & writers & poets like to smoke it....

How about just trying something for yourself one time "Timmy" and not letting the government and your Mom & Dad tell you about how things roll.

[timmychen6]

I did smoke sometimes, but I don't constantly smoke it. It's your choice. I have no offense, but a little bit suggestion. You can ignore that.

[ImperialPimp]

Hope you dont "get arrested" for weed when you go back to whatever mysterious Asian country your family is from.

BTW - Where are you from? Are you trying to keep it secret?

[timmychen6]

actually, one porno actor was arrested in my country, although I think it's unnecessary, if they look at Japan.

I thought it's easy to tell where I am from and you knew that.

[ImperialPimp]

Not really, dont know what you're talking about... let me know..

[timmychen6]

and that is the only public erotic actor I know for more than 20 years life living there. Tell me if you anyone else.

[ImperialPimp]

Oh, you're from Taiwan? Cool. I love Taipei.

Best food in Asia? Maybe.....

[timmychen6]

so you've been to my city then. bravo

[ImperialPimp]

Got to say the girls in Taiwan for some reason are really trying hard to look like Japanese Prostitutes, but whatever.

I did notice the tendency of girls to dress either "American" or the standard "Japanese" clothing style.

Is this because of the big U.S.-Taiwan link? Teenage kids going back and forth between U.S. and Taiwan?

[timmychen6]

lol. I agree. Some of them wear slutty clothes.

To me, many Taiwanese girls are retarded for reasons, I basically don't choose girls from that pool.

Taiwan does kinda have a strong link with US and was colonized by Japan. It's just the other phenomenon that cultures of stronger countries tend to be more influential to other countries.

[timmychen6]

If you have friends who live in east Asia or originally live there, just ask them and you will know why.

I am not trying to be a racist and that does nothing good to me. It's just a social phenomenon.

That does not really bother me, because I have no problem socializing with females and I don't really care about this issue.

it's just somehow funny and sad to see it.

[timmychen6]

I personally think prono isn't bad. Maybe even prostitution itself, life Red light district in Amsterdam. Men do have physical needs and there's nothing wrong to solve it in the ways that do not hurt the others, or hurt the least, at least it's better than sexual crimes.

[ImperialPimp]

I agree with that....

[timmychen6]

Most of them actually can't tell if you are handsome or not.

If you know that.

[classy1973]

THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS BETTER.

[ImperialPimp]

The original version of what? The balance music video?

[timmychen6]

sorry that I couldn't reply you coz it's exceeding the 500 letter limit. Please look at the reply on the second page and the comment on the first page follows that. Somehow they are just all messed up. sorry.

[timmychen6]

援助交際!?

don't worry about that.

Everyone knows white guys can fuck many chicks there for "free"~~~~

yes, free~

[ImperialPimp]

"Free..... yes, free.."

Now this has less to do with "white people" (like myself) and more to do with Japanese-Shinto culture. The is NO NEGATIVE connotation to sex in Japan. Now, even though I was initially shocked by this, I started to learn from it and enjoy it over time (OK, it was a short time). Just ask your "Japanese Girlfriend" about this.... unless of course she is one of those red, white & blue brainwashed Japanese Americans that dosent know shit about her ethnic culture, that is.

[timmychen6]

nah..... I don't have Japanese American friends actually.

It's just from so many examples I saw and even Japanese guys said that.

Several Japanese girls had ever told me that they don't want to have Japanese bf, but only whites. That happens in my country too, so I am not too surprised.

If you are not too bad-looking white, you should be able to easily hook up girls in night clubs in 六本木.

[ImperialPimp]

This is true too.... in some cases, sadly true.

I have seen the prettiest Japanese girls dating THE MOST UGLY WHITES ever and having sex with them every day!

I am (of course) quite good-looking and get girls where-ever I go so I dont care too much.

[timmychen6]

I know, many Japanese girls who have spent long time in the States told me that it's funny to see that, because most of those guys in Japan are geeky and ugly here, but those Japanese girls admire them so much. They are usually "English Teacher" there coz they can't find a decent job in US.

Those girls probably think that they are dating with Brad Pitt or something coz they are all white. That's what I saw on someone's blog. lol.

[ImperialPimp]

You're right.

That IS true.

You're still wrong as far as Asian porn and weed in concerned, though.

[timmychen6]

btw, I did it Amsterdam and US sometimes.

Some of my friends smokes more often, but I just chose not to.

Yeah, he have fans in Russia too =;-))

Am I Japanese? No - I am from Ireland.

Hope that answers your confusing question....

[Tuxedo12]

援助交際? What does it mean? Compensate Dating you mean? This video really had some good shot of the view, very fresh. I recognise the main girl (the one riding the bicycle) to be the girl in GTO (mini series not anime). Thanks for uploading.

[ImperialPimp]

Yes - Compensated Dating...

Thanks...

[Tuxedo12]

Thanks for the info:)

馬鹿もんが～～～～～～～～～～！！！

われらの神国日本を汚す、国賊どもがああああああああ！

[timmychen6]

神国日本!?

That's how you guys are fucked up.

[ImperialPimp]

I dont think Japan is perfect either, but then again think about how much Japanese porn is imported into China every year? Like 25,000,000 DVDs at least. Thats just for starters.

[timmychen6]

I don't know how much porno they export to China, and I am not a Chinese either, but I guess there are many porno s flow into China each year via any form (internet, DVD or so), since Japan is almost the only country that largely produces porno. This seems inevitable.

First of all, no one is perfect, at least, most of people. However, it's the idea that they did or they are doing filthy things to the others and still consider themselves above the others or "神国日本".

[timmychen6]

If there's something wrong, just admit it so you can improve it. If you hurt others, at least you should say sorry and maybe compensate them.

I think that's what a reasonable person or country should be.

That's what I meant.

This opinion is just to Japan as a country or their people in general. I know not everyone is like that, I have more than 100 Japanese friends maybe, and my gf is even Japanese. I said those from a third party's view who quite understand their culture.

[ImperialPimp]

OK, I respect your reply and that its not hate-filled, like so many other Youtube replies are, the line "since Japan is almost the only country that largely produces porno" sort of cracks me up... You live in THE STATES, right?

[timmychen6]

Yeah, I currently live in the States and have been living here for about 3 years. I am originally from part of the Asia that why I know those well.

[timmychen6]

Japan is actually almost the only country that makes porno in Asia. I've been to Japan many times, mostly Tokyo.

Have you seen porno from other countries in Asia, I guess not. I know Koreans make some, Formosa almost no. The total amount of porno made in other countries in Asia except Japan for the past 10 years is probably less than Japan in a month.

[ImperialPimp]

Don't want to keep on dissing you here, my friend, but MANY countries in Asian make pornos.

I know this because I have seen A LOT of Asian porn.

To my knowledge, China (mainland), Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, (to smaller extent) Phillipines

and Thailand.

They just keep on importing Japanese porn because they make it the best (and have the prettiest girls?). I wrote an article for Vice Magazine about Asian porn 5 years ago, so apparantly I am some sort of Asian porn expert (Ha ha!)

[timmychen6]

hum..... I guess you will be arrested in China.

[timmychen6]

I meant if you make porno.

[ImperialPimp]

That will change real soon.... trust me.

[arnois]

Great song & great video!!Thanks!

[ImperialPimp]

Anno Hideaki (庵野秀明)

Director Anno is most well known, perhaps, for his direction of several of the very popular "Evangelion" anime series.

Thank you. I didn't know he's directed something other than animation.

Funny you should say that, it seems Shanghai & Beijing now BOTH look exaclty like Shinjuku, Tokyo, with all the girl walking around wearing Japanese-style make-up and clothes...

良くない事だが、チョンの様に海外で売春をするよりはマシ。この­ImperialPimpの国の方が海外で凄い事をやってるくせ­にｗ

[Akibalove]

NIHON OWATA＼(^o^)／

It's just a Joke. I think the only people who are so concerned about "Enjou Kosai" are the stupid foreingers that feel uncomfortable living in a country wihtout moral prejucies toward underage sex...

Great mix! :P

[ImperialPimp]

True. But another reason many Japanese dont seem to care about this issue in general is that many people dont know it goes on to the extent that it does.

For example, I couldnt find one Japanese girl who knew about magazines such as "Cream", a publication that includess under-age models posing in VERY suggestive poses...
