Vidicle: A Publisher in the Shadows
Something I just started working on. I call them ‘Vidicles’; video previews of written articles.
Since the YouTube ‘revolution’ has expanded the definition of ‘online video’ - (talking heads pointlessly babbling in front of a camera? This is entertainment?) I thought; ‘why not make videos of someone reading well written, captivating articles’? In this case, that ’someone’ is my computer, and the ‘well written article’ is from Captain Japan.
Watch this vidicle preview of his recent article: A Publisher in the Shadows:
Hiroharu Kimura dresses in black: sport jacket, shoes, socks, slacks, and gold-rimmed sunglasses. Aside from his blue dress shirt, his attire follows the vampire bat trademark used for his sex-trade publication Manzoku, meaning satisfaction.
“Bats cannot see,” says the chairman of Creators Company Connection, reclining in the sofa of his office in Tokyo’s Okubo district, “but they have a special sense.”
Indeed, Kimura operates his business - printing magazines that cater to Japan’s sexual services and hostessing industries - by feel.. READ THE FULL STORY!

Japanese Catfight Slapping
Hhhmm.. What can I say? This is a staged ‘cat fight’ between two women wearing little clothing. The action is pretty fake, but sort of entertaining; some of the wrestling positions they find themselves in are rather ridiculous.
Lots of slapping, bending, rolling, swinging, kicking, and twitching.
The video also features some sort of creature with a beetle head and hypnotic torpedo tits.. The clip is short, sweet and leaves a bitter after-taste.. Music is also a TokyoDV creation.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day is unique in Japan; only women give gifts and chocolates. The men give white chocolate one month later; ‘White Day’ on March 14th..
Seems strange, but I guess it helps men avoid any social mistakes of what to give to whom. Although, I think it mainly has to do with chocolate companies creating another lucrative holiday.
This video doesn’t have much to do with Japanese Valentine’s Day, but it was released around then. I ’stumbled’ into an adult shop and filmed some of the items on sale. You’ll see magic mushrooms, which are now illegal, and other various types of stimulants. There are also some shots of love hotels, both inside and out.
I wanted the clip to represent, what I hoped to be, a typical Valentine’s Day in Japan.. After chocolate, there’s sex, drugs, and love hotels.

Japan’s Coming of Age Day
Sometime in early January, Japan celebrates twenty-year-olds becoming adults. Coming of Age Day is time for them to dress up in kimonos, gather at the local city hall, and listen to bureaucrats tell them how important ‘adults’ are.
The new adults usually get drunk before, after, and sometimes during the ceremony since they’re now legal drinking age. They can also vote at the age of twenty, so in this clip we see some right-wing black busses shouting their opinions to the newly christened voters. The wing-nuts don’t like Communists, kissing in public, or parked cars in their way.
This Coming of Age Day is probably like any other; kimonos, rabbit suits, and big black busses..
