1 Japanese Gigolo Documentary - Why I became a Gigolo

[antonyneal]

God the Japanese approach to what it means to be a CEO is sure to cause inefficiencies but it is very inspiring that a business leader would think like that.

[blazehecatgirl]

whoever the heck disliked this video can go freaking kick themselves in the ass. How on earth could you dislike this amazing, touching and sad documentary?

[DeadIslandTrailers]

the money sounds tempting but i'd hate to drink that much every night.

[ImPalacio]

They must get liver desease pretty quickly...

[Stillwater900]

The music doesn't match the material at all, its not appropriate

[MsOhayoOhio]

@Stillwater900 lol right i was thinking the same thing…evoked preschool images for me

[Stillwater900]

@MsOhayoOhio HAHA!

[Kpopismytaste]

[inuopx]

[ClubAverage]

[MsOhayoOhio]

[rurounisld]

well i cant fully understand the situation since the host is someting close and not exactly the same as a gigolo but thanks for sharing this. gigolos are rear thing to where i live anyway so cant even understand their position..

I agree that its a whole different world

[neotokyomedia]

Great hosto documentary, please keep uploading more about hosto ^_^

[edwebo]

It's a whole other world. I live in Osaka and have been to Minami a few times but never knew the sort of stuff going on behind the scenes.

"If you rely on your body and looks, then you close off opportunities to grow as a human being". For a pimp the guy has some mad wisdom XD

[LastRqss]

the movies way too fast paced. they need to slow it down

[UmiNagasaki]

Im sorry for them. This work is really hard. I know this because i am working as a waitress. And thats kind fo the same. :( Poor them. Keep Fighting.

[milkjamjuice]

It must be hard to work in a job where you have to imbibe so much alcohol nightly and are constantly thrown to the streets to hustle, wondering where your next income is going to come from. Until this year I never felt sorry for them and actually held a bit of hatred towards them; playing women as a source of income... But after the big quake I began to see more of them in the streets of Kabuki-cho. More scouts=fewer customers... I started to see where they came from. A bit.

[Tekirai]

[VK27SM8IY14love]

OMG I feel so sad for that arashi guy ~-_-~ he only is selling himself for his father.

[TheHoliday555]

let's just call it like it is "PROSTITUTION". you can candy code it and beat around the bush calling it "hosting", "gigolos", etc. Male or female - it falls under the same umbrella no matter their reason. if they think they have to, want to, or are forced to. anyone that sells sex for money (or who is promiscuous) will not be happy inside...look at pamela anderson face now! look at any prostitute on the street - high or low class!

[antonyneal]

@TheHoliday555

No need to be so negative. If you actually watched the video you would understand that some times there are more important things then being happy. Some times you have to suck it up and do things that will destroy you to support some thing more important then your self.

[EbonyDollable]

You know I was preety ignorant before to think that people who joined this kind of industry were just disgusting but after watching this and some other things I realise now that everyone has a reasonfor why the do certain things. Despite my past opinion what these guys are doing is not for selfish gain and i have to say im proud that they can put others before themselves because they sacrifice alot.

[ingvaldsson]

i am disturbed by the usage 'gigolo' in the title. i do not think it is the right term to use. why cant you just call it 'host club'? sexual favours are not promoted in these types of establishments, so it is wrong to call these people gigolos.

[nuggert]

this documentary makes them so .. " sad ". .. and thus promotes their shit

[nuggert]

u shitting me? these guys are smart

[h3lly4l1f3]

sumimasen

[kingrocker44]

160,000 USD a month? Where do I sign up?

[DJVirgoNeun]

@kingrocker44 I know right? O.O

[wonkers]

great doc. def worth watching

[neotokyomedia]

I fonud out what the song is called

the band is called The Eccentric Opera

song title san sa-ra サン　サーラ

[neotokyomedia]

I am also curious what the intro song is

[zurkization]

what is the song at the beginning, anyone knows please tell me!

[neotokyomedia]

Cool, its similar to the documentary 'The Great Happiness Space'

[lilrollz]

male hosts are no different then females..we feel bad when we see a female and feel sorry for her but when we see a male our reactions are toaly different...i dont think anyone WANTS to sell there bodies they HAVE too...we shouldnt just judge people for what they do

[HayabuSa171]

y do u guys have such negative views on host clubs? just a place to have some drinks and talk. jeez.

[PungiFungi]

I hate the word gigolo. Why can't they just use the Japanese word? For example, there is no English equivalent for "geisha" either.

[wakazashi20]

Filipino gigolos in Japan........ didn't know that. I had heard about Korean guys.

[JustJappyNess]

touched me so much, i think the owner is pretty cool for thinking that looks are not everything and it's more about the heart. Such a clever person, host clubs don't seem so bad after all

[sharkl11]

don't be naive, they are fucking low lifes that feed on desperate women.

[RanterJaeUK]

@sharkl11 well who's fault is it for going to them in the first place eh? those women should know what they are getting themselves into

[ShinaOuye]

It must be hard, to portray this kind of industry in a fair light.... But, honestly, their stories made me tear up. -Thanks for sharing this~

[aspendxb]

there are Filipino gigolos in Japan or Hostos as we calll them in Philippines...

[ThatsMyRubberDuckie]

poor guy...his mother 'disappeared'...hopefully she wasn't kidnapped by the debt collectors...

[milkjamjuice]

@ThatsMyRubberDuckie I think "kidnapped," is probably a much kinder fate than she actually met.
