http://www.blackpassenger.com | Book trailer for Black Passenger Yellow Cab: Of Exile and Excess in Japan.

"Guns, sex and racial suicide. And that's just chapter one."

Jamaican-born author Stefhen Bryan details his explicit saga exploring contemporary Japanese social customs and cultural mores.

In his candid and moving memoir, "Black Passenger, Yellow Cabs: Of Exile and Excess in Japan," he conveys an incredible journey from a childhood of third-world poverty to an adulthood of sexual addiction in the Land of the Rising Sun. A self-acknowledged sex addict with a predilection for East and Southeast Asian women, Bryan ventured to Japan in April 2001 for the sole purpose of indulging his obsession.




His riveting narrative is earning high praise for melding lyrical eroticism with insightful explorations into the societal and cultural mores of contemporary Japan. Bryan includes detailed historical and statistical analysis, in addition to what one reviewer calls "sex research that would make Kinsey proud."

But more than an account of ribald exploits, "Black Passenger, Yellow Cabs," delves into the psychological origins of Bryan's addiction, his struggles with depression and suicidal ideations and his ultimate triumph over a compulsion that controlled his life for almost four decades.

Interracial relationships, promiscuity and patriarchy are among the many topics Bryan discusses with candor and humor.'To learn more about "Black Passenger, Yellow Cabs: Of Exile and Excess in Japan," visit the author's website at http://www.blackpassenger.com.

The book is available for purchase worldwide at bookstores off and online.

  • @jxsilicon9 please read my book, black passenger yellow cabs: a memoir of exile and excess in japan, it will answer many of your questions.

  • @blackpassenger

    Also had did you produce an income in Japan. Did you get a job there? What kind of job?

  • @jxsilicon9 from classes and being totally immersed in the language

  • @blackpassenger

    Yea thats how I was when I went to Brazil and France. But I'm asking how did you learn to speak/write Japanese?From classes,books,etc?I have to learn Mandarin anyway for business. So I want to add some Japanese also.

  • @jxsilicon9 i knew 0, as in zeeeeeroooo japanese before i moved here. however, i started taking lessons two days after i arrived

  • @blackpassenger

    So where did you start studying. Classroom,books,etc. Whats the best method?Is it better to study before going there until you can speak semi-fluently?Or just learn some conversational Japanese and just try to learn the rest by talking with people in Japan?

  • to be honest i dont really read books. i prefer watching documentary films. it sounds like you have a good story to tell.

  • does anyone can explain me what it is? i cant understand

  • @ForgottenFaces001 thanks for taking a look. You are doing amazing work. As a jamaican of african decent who became very attracted to chiney girl from i was a your, i always wondered how those ethnic minorities got there. thanks for making that docu.

  • wow this is very interesting. i meet on occasion Jamaicans and Haitians who have migrated to Japan and one Haitian i met married a Japanese woman and he is now raising his children there.

    I am very impressed by Caribbean people who are willing to make such an amazing trek to such a different place where they are forced to learn about new ideas and culture when so many Jamaicans move to the USA and live in all Jamaican areas and never interact with other communities. i will look for this book.
