I don't want to write this in my heart to be honest.

English Only...

This post is English ver. of the last post. If you have read it, please spend your time in doing different things.

First of all, I would mention that I have hesitation to write what I am going to write below. I would appreciate if you understand and consider this state.

Within this one week, my friends, especially who have an experience to study abroad, shared a movie with strict comment on this. If you haven't watched the below movie, please take a look at it first.

This commercial message, or CM, is promoting a mobile device of interpretation, called ili. This device was invented by a Japanese company.  In this movie, a white gay has invited Japanese ladies to kiss with him by using the device to translate his message into Japanese. When I had a look at this advertisement, I was so disappointed although I know that I recognise this is a just advertisement of the device.

If you are Japanese, you might remember a news about a white man had held lectures to tell participants that it is easy for white gays to hook up Japanese ladies, and tell them how. This advertisement of the interpretation device is the third movie that I have watched with regard to the fact that white gay hooks up Japanese girls.


The first one is the news I mentioned above. After that, many TV programs took the topic and commenters showed disgusting feeling on him.  You might be frustrated to the fact that some foreigners have such an opinion on Japanese girls.

The second one is to be shared by my Taiwanese friend here in Manchester. It was the most terrible. Japanese girls kiss strangers from other country. In addition, they are taking a bath together. This was very much disgusting. According to her, the movie was taken in Taiwanese news. I was asked "Would it be easy for strangers to pick up Japanese? Her comment made me embarrassed as one of Japanese.

Finally, the CM taken above is the third one. I think there are ways to promote the device apart from kissing that makes us imagine kind of sexual things.


I really think (hope) that many Japanese ladies do reject such kind of thing. However, I would admit there are two types of people who cannot reject. Firstly, some feels scared to be required to kiss by strangers, especially foreigners and then permit them to kiss. Another type is get the wrong end of stick, I mean these strangers like us.

Touching upon the first type, we need to seriously share the solution because they could not show their feeling or express rejection caused by being scared. I would hope that you have some idea to fix the issue.

The problem is the second one. I would like this category people to recognise the foreigners who try kissing them looked down upon Japanese ladies. The strangers are thinking that they can be easily trapped. Plus the fact that, I would ask this type to understand your behaviour might make the first type people damaged further.

Some Japanese think that kiss is a common abroad. However, kiss is the way to show feeling love in certain meanings in my understanding. If this kind of advertisement has been made in different countries, the advertising agency and the company would be given a terrible and negative opinion because this shows just sexual harassment.

In the end, I would like to emphasise the fact that everything in this cyber network can spread out rapidly. World might judge negatively on Japanese ladies. Be careful. Without consideration, your behaviour would damage other people.
