Japanese Culture and Language
As much as I want to be outrageously snarky in this post, I don’t think I can bring myself to do it. After all, social anxiety disorder is pretty serious stuff, especially in Japan, the birthplace of the hikikomori (引き籠もり or “pulling away”) phenomenon. In an attempt to help out those who are uncomfortable in [...]

It's pretty... interesting.

Interesting find Erin, by the way! XD I find it amazing that something like this exists >> I was half expecting them to try and scare me half-way through like they do in those evil youtube videos.
Edit: I just watched the second video. Was that guy enjoying a movie with the DVD? Now we just need to somehow attach an LCD screen to those life-like dolls....

He was freakin talking to the screen as if she was actually there? And sleepin with it, AND talking to it!!!
I'm sorry, I don't mean to make fun of the hikikomori, because I know what it's like to be socially retarded, but this is just crossing the line a little bit. I don't see how this DVD can help any of them get out of their rooms and get a real life, if anything it's just another reason to keep themselves locked up in their rooms.

I just can't help but wonder if these staring women hold interesting conversations <_< This guy seems to love spending time with them. Maybe he's on to something?

These habits must be broken if you wish to make it in the socially inept Japanese DVD scene.

This also reminds me of those videos that Jessica Alba made on her Celebrity MySpace page challenging people to a staring contest. If you want to do a staring contest with the Dark Angel herself, check out her page. If nothing turns up, try googling.

Does it help if each of us clicks on it sixteen-thousand times ? I'm up to three.....
* update.... it's disappeared ? wha? *
1 year ago
We only want people to click when they are genuinely interested in a product. Otherwise, we can get in trouble and possibly get kicked out of the program.

I never stare at people for long periods or time, or worry about them staring at me. So the DVD seems really pointless, IMO.

2 things :
- Koichi your vid in EDIT 2 is hilarious.
- Why did they take a A. Ueto look-alike for the end of the advertisment .... now I want to buy the DVD, even though I'm not socially akward ...well, I think I'm not.

I am already kind of hikikomori-ish, but I would never buy DVDs like that.
That Koichi clip in the middle of the video w/ him smiling idiotically... is funny.

hmm... maybe this is one that only applies to japan
This may be completely unrelated but...
i heard that japan had the highest rate of suicides?
is this true?

I have to say, though, the guy having conversations with his computer and watching TV with his computer REALLY no longer has a reason to leave the house...

Keeping our eyes on someone else's makes most of us nervous because of an ancenstral reflex meaning "defy" (try looking in dog's eye and see if he/she can sustain it for long)
This is the reason why these girls won't smile at all: smiling is a sign of encouragement, and this goes against the reason for this DVD to exist.

Very interesting stuff here. Yeah, I think they could have some regular people maybe saying, "Hi, how are you.", "Good morning", regular things like that. Get these people used to REAL LIFE situations.
That one girl... she looks really sad. I guess she senses that the guys aren't going to be looking at her face.
