[nina191817]

[aracely644]

i love Kodama Kentarou

[LazyFluff]

Thanks for the subtitles!!!!

[nabi2810]

how come there's no that last girl, i mean, boy in episode 9 :(

[morningproject]

@nabi2810 This recap was made before the last few episodes of Josou Paradise were made. Basically, this recap came about as part of the selection process for who would do the Tokyo Girls Collection event, which I believe came after the first three episodes of JP. Then there were two more episodes after that.

[nabi2810]

@morningproject thank you, it makes sense now. there's no way he's not one of the top ^^

[MsYaoifan2010]

that's why i love japan

[FatCuteCats]

The first guy is the most attractive :P

日高くん一番かわいい！

[MrHT5742]

個人喜好與國情風俗及性向的不同有所差異所以才有選票的多寡,我­看了多次,覺得這10幾個孩子 都是一時瑜亮,各有風情,實在要選出3位,我選 熊本雄.岩田樹.彈鋼琴的小溪,如果只選一票,我投給岩田樹,只­是個人意見,但是觀看多次的結果是覺得製作十分精細這是我們需要­學習的,主持人更是我們所缺,人品風度是我們所差的,只有說需要­努力加油的拉.

japan is unique

[gaarapandacookielove]

waaaahh!!! sugoi!!! the first one is oooo handsome!! it really looks like a girl!!! O.O

daiski!!! :)

[zheymour]

mom. dad. i think im gay.

[pochitoque123]

wtf

[N0tsaved]

Every single one of the participants made me super jealous, but only Hasagawa Sou (5:56) made me blush! <3

Why does the West have to be so caught up with "masculinity?" I have very little (and I'm working on repressing the rest), but I'm doing just fine! :3

[mahaputera7]

kiamat sudah dekat....

[bballgirlj955]

i am shitting bricks...wtffff

[Shekillaboom]

HIDAKAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEWSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTT

[xXRakeruHaniiXx]

umm does anybody know the name of the guy in the dark blue shirt??He is so cute!

[morningproject]

@xXRakeruHaniiXx The guy at, for example, 5:35? If so, that's Miyake Ken, of the J-pop group V6 (this group this show was founded around).

[evawhatever]

can someone tell me who that female host is?

[xXRakeruHaniiXx]

@evawhatever She's Tsubasa Masuwaka, she is a model from a Japanese magazine called 'Pop Teen' She is also very well known and suuuuuuper pretty and cute. :D

[warzyxx]

there are men or girl ????

[getfunky79]

are these real men?

[ayarose777]

@getfunky79: yup but they're high school boys.

V6 is awesome. these boys are cute but Johnny's are way prettier when they cross dress. ken was absolutely amazing himself, then there's koichi, tegoshi, yoko, massu, shige, jin, okada and a whole lot more. i swear they are even way prettier than most girls 

[LorienoftheBlossom]

the last one, holy fuck...so damn cute, ugh

[zombieravens]

Does anyone know where I can find the episode where the best ones come back and go eat crepes, shop for glasses and do purikura?

[darksideluisjai]

!!!!!!!! oh shit thats is posible O.O

[AileenXrona]

this is so awesome! haha its like they are prettier than some girls who really are girls!

[maidwithluv]

the last two were sexy

[tohs123]

みのｗｗｗｗｗ

[MadMikeTheDrummer]

Do you have the full series? I want to watch them so bad :(

[KEYzlove3]

wooow to the LAST THREE

[Pixeldoll]

this is so crazy *_*

why are boys so pretty in asia (and girls too!)

[Arashi4Dream14]

i miss gakkou e ikou ._.

[morningproject]

@Arashi4Dream14 Me too. Me too.

[cephiro14]

6:00 he looks more like a girl but after that a tranny

[fabitapunk]

Takeuchi equals かわいい!!!

[MaruEien]

Yukihiro and Ryouhei are too cute ♥

[AkanishiJinIsLove]

Hoky Kentarou Is Freaking Cute (The Girl Way)

[semco72057]

They are all wonderful and two of them speaks with their female voice as well. Kodama is the sexiest one to see smile, flirt, and speak though.

[zDreamOnz]

Omg !

[ViktorLois]

Sweet!! the last is the best for me.....and i feel kinda gay but "she" is cute...

[stryke822]

There used to be english subtitles to this video. What happend to it, why was it removed.

[morningproject]

@stryke822 Subtitles are still there. Are you by chance using the HTML5 version of YouTube? If so, last I know, they still didn't have subtitle support up and running yet.

[stryke822]

@morningproject

Nah my bad, at first the subs didn't show. But after i refreshed my IE8 i could see the subs again. :)

[JeffB1959]

Geisha "girl" had me at hello! ^_^

[21ryro30]

I wish they had this show again. XD

[BobYoMeowMeow]

After looking them for a while, can tell that they're men.

But the efforts are really good.

[kenlo77]

@BobYoMeowMeow There is no way you could tell Kentarou Kodama is not a girl ... his voice , walk, and mannerisms are all female ... even when told, people did not believe Kentarou-kun was not a girl. I don't believe Kentarou-kun even tries to be a girl ... it is all natural. As Sakamoto put it "My goldfish blinks" meaning it can't be true, but yet I see it.

[milylalangel]

hahah omg!! xDD kiero uno asi!! *-*

[TokkiDiary]

oh my goodness. They are prettier than girls :O

I just had an idea. Why don't they make guys cross dress to catch rapists and molester? :P That would be FUN XD HAHA

[08bubblie]

awww...they are so cute and some of them actually look like girls

[SoBrukOut]

I personally find Asian males that look slightly feminine attractive.

[toucan33]

@kittypawpaw88 @kittypawpaw88 as for the males in these shows you need to look and learn Because remember these are only schoolboys so still have some growing to do etc - i think they are quite brave doing that in front of all those school girls.

as for any women who are a little masculine, i think thats ok some can be very attractive that way. anyway i think these boys look just wonderful - and i say best of to them

[thereisnonameleft]

@toucan33 well, not for all of them, at least for yukihiro, if I'm right, I remember he was 21 at that time and being a university student. I doubt that he grew more afterwards ^^ but for the others it might be true, even though...there is still yuuta, who is already like 178cm tall...

[toucan33]

@kittypawpaw88 in reply to your comments about standards, yes western men should do better, as for the smaller men going to the gym etc thats because they insecure and want to fit in. And why is that then - because of two totally different cultures and history. So think about things abit instead of making such quick judgemnet.

.

[batvette]

Most Asian races have litte problem for the guys passing as girls, at least in our eyes. (I'm sure the Japanese girls can tell). Now try this show in a country with Arab men.... Slovakian.... Russian... haha. Big hairy monster people!

This show would be a no brainer in Thailand, original home of the ladyboy!.

Anyway if it's fun and nobody's gettin hurt, go for it.

[fearevil19]

the internet is making me gay -.-

[morningproject]

@fearevil19 Just accept your fate and enjoy the ride!

[krzintegraboi]

@fearevil19  you have always been gay.XD jk ryhei is my fav

[fenrriljorge]

kawaii jaja

[Erioas]

I WANT TO PROTECT HER!

[nowitstimetofind]

for my part, i think men in japan are masculin, and might be even more macho than western ones in many ways

that's a tv show guys! ( a funny one) which doesn't reflect all the japanese men

(--_--;) ^_^

[morningproject]

@kittypawpaw88 They're Japanese. The idea of what a "man" has to be there versus a place in the West like the US is completely different. Men in Asia don't seem to have the insecurity about being macho and manly that a lot of men in the West do.

[MadMikeTheDrummer]

@morningproject Do you have the full series? I want to watch them so bad :(

[epie83]

My girlfriend love Ikeno, as he is very 'cute' as his real self, a boy, he could be the cutest boy of all others. and he do better than a girls while in Kimono, it's not easy to wear Kimono and walk around whole day, really tiring. I guess most girls fans love him too

[epie83]

and guys, as for myself. i love Kentarou's feminine side, his feminine voices and attitude, he totally looks like a real girls, nobody knows that she was a boy if no one tells. Thats why i likes "her", not like him as a boy but as a girl. I likes Ryouhei too, i thinks he looks better than Kentarou, with his petite body gives him extra feminine appeal, but he don't have 'the' voice.

[kenlo77]

@epie83 I think Ryohei and Iwata are the cutest, because of their sweet dimpled smiles.But only Kentarou-kun has the complete package. Kentaro just walks, talks and moves and gestures like a girl, with seamless effort. Just watching most of the others walk, you know they are not girls. Yuuta makes the most effort to walk more girl-like ... but he is so tall, and with a pronounced adams apple. I really don't know how Kentaro Kodama manages his life as a boy when he acts so much like a girl.

[99CUTEkisses]

FUTANARI!!!!!!! these sheboys look great!! it is really fun to dress in 2 ways ( boy & girl ),but girls get to wear far better clothes! for me though, i want to be "futanari" all the time. i'm on hormones & want surgery,etc.wish me luck!!

[funnycatster]

SO CUTE 5:34

[babyboo1465911]

do u think itz a boy or girl ?!

lol ther all boys lol

[sambal91]

the first one, ikeno yukihiro, kinda looks like takizawa hideaki...

don't you think?

[semco72057]

Ikeno-kun is the cutest as a boy probably, and Kentarou-kun also is so cute as a boy. Yuuta-kun is pretty as a girl, but normal as a boy.

[hautxtalons]

Omg, you know, Yuuta Kumamoto (the devilish tongue-flicking one) would look like a GODDESS if he had long hair. And I still think the very last girl looks like an asian Avril Lavigne.

[semco72057]

@hautxtalons Yuuta really can steal your heart with that head shaking and smile. Kentarou, and the others are wonderful also on here. Viewing these boys converted into females really become addicting like alcoholism.

[hautxtalons]

The guys are prettier with the makeup on because their features are more sharp and angular, hence making them look more "model-like."

[BboySpikey]

6:27 is best of all imo,i swear i wouldn't be able to recognize her...err him xD

[bujinnineko]

the one in the green dress is sexy! aw, and the last one has a super cute smile. mm, i think the second one just sounds like a girl.

[semco72057]

I couldn't be a judge since they are all so beautiful and would leave most girls jealous at how beautiful these guys are as women.

[xav90]

are you serious?

the last one was a guy?

omg... he is a pretty girl lol

[semco72057]

@xav90 They are all guys and so beautiful too.

[semco72057]

@xav90 They are all boys and is so pretty as women. The one with the scarf is so pretty with the way he smiles and bow. I forget his name, but he ends up walking down the runway with some of the others. They are look great as women and so convincing seated there on stage.

[GianneDaSamurai]

Wooaahh!! Sudou Hayato-kun! Hasegawa Sou-kun! Omigosh but Ryouhei-kun takes the cake, hands down.... he was cute... O_O

[semco72057]

@GianneDaSamurai I agree until he say something. There is one which didn't make it to the finals and I figured something must have went wrong. His name was Suzuki-kun who was in one kissing skit.

[smartdeb05]

share the link where we can find the pictures

[ngu0061]

1:10 15,000? or 15,00? o.O

[morningproject]

@ngu0061 Whoops... yup, I wrote the subtitle wrong. Thanks for pointing that out!

[missGuardianangel]

Sugoi =O Theyre so beautifull..i especially liked the first and the last one <3 Hard to belive theyr'e males...if i had met and befriended one of them, i'd be in shock if he told me =O (I'm not jugding, don't get me wrong) I just ment in shock cause i can't see it. Lol

[crazytuna4]

O_o

wow

just wow

[21121990]

OMGosh~ The last one :O :O :O

My jaw dropped~~~~

I think I'm in love with her/him XD

[morningproject]

Yeah, Ryouhei is just TOO ridiculously cute as a girl.

[semco72057]

@morningproject He really is so pretty as a girl and just steals the heart of the audiences with his perky personality, and beauty.

[semco72057]

@21121990 He is such a wonderful individual with a pretty face, wonderful smile, and feminine figure.

[arsenalx]

the first one and the last one were breathtaking *___*

[ngu0061]

ikeno was breathtaking wasn't it? ^.^

[semco72057]

@ngu0061 Yes, and so familiar with how a woman is suppose to walk and act in a Kimono.

[Heintje1]

Hi, where can we get the raw vids of Josou Paradise?

[morningproject]

I'm actually trying to find a good way to collect the episodes and get them to other fans as we speak. Hopefully I'll have come up with something soon.

[semco72057]

@morningproject Thanks so much for your efforts. I love this show and wonder if it is still airing in Japan. I want to go there as soon as I get a passport and would love to see the show in person.

[morningproject]

@semco72057 Unfortunately, the show this is from (Gakkou e Ikou MAX) is no longer on the air. The final episode aired in September of 2008.

[semco72057]

@morningproject That is bad as it seemed to be a popular show. With over 800 applications from school boys wanting to be dressed as girls they could have been on for years. Some like Suzuki and Kentarou are so popular on there. There are probably many who still dresses as girls and go out to areas like the drag area of Tokyo.

[semco72057]

@morningproject I wonder why they stopped the show? It seemed to be very popular with the girls alone judging by the ones on the streets downloading and voting like they do in the United States with some of the popular shows here. I figured something must have happened to cause them to take it off the air.

[morningproject]

@semco72057 The show (Gakkou e Ikou MAX) was based around the J-pop boy group V6, and I think it was just a case of them getting older and not being appealing to the demographic anymore. The theme of the show was dealing with high school and people in high school, so maybe it was getting a bit creepy. *heh* The Jousou Paradise segments were just one of many things they did on the show.

[semco72057]

@morningproject It sure seem to be popular with so many who have seen the show. The V6 group should have collected plenty of money along with the station TBS also from this show. The videos have become very popular here in the U.S.
