“O-Nep!” was a late night comedy show by the Japanese comedy trio Neptune featuring Taizo Harada, Ken Horiuchi (aka Horiken) and Jun Nagura. The trio name comes from the Kinnikuman character, Neptuneman. The show had a segment called “Your wish will be fulfilled! The travelling Nepu throw” which I like to affectionately refer to as “The Upskirt Judo Guy” because that just about sums it up.
The way that the segment broke down was Taizo Harada would dress in wrestling gear usually in a public location with a lot of young, female spectators. He would run into the crowd, grab a mini-skirt wearing female, and perform a tomoe-nage judo throw, flipping the girl over his head and onto a wrestling mat, exposing her underwear with a cameraman conveniently poised to zoom in on the girls panchira. If by an unfortunate accident there was no glimpse of underwear for the audience to view, not to worry. In this rare instance they send another from the trio who pries the girls legs until satisfactory exposure has been achieved for the camera.
Refer to the following embedded video for a few highlights of the show. This show was apparently taken off air because one of the girls that the The Upskirt Judo Guy flipped wasn’t wearing any underwear. The second embedded video shows the footage of this incident.
Do you remember the Friends episode where Joey Tribbiani poses for a health poster, but later finds out he’s become the V.D. poster boy?
VD, you never know you might have it.
Well, Japan’s largest adult video (AV) studio, Soft On Demand (SOD) (yeah, I know, the studio name is a story unto itself – I mean, if you are a porn subscriber then the name of the studio isn’t very inspiring), has been running their own campaign against sexually transmitted disease called “STOP! STD”.
The “STOP! STD” campaign is to bring attention to the rise of STDs in Japan and to increase the use of condoms. It features JAV stars like Nana Natsume, Saori Hara and Sasa Handa on large billboards sub-titled “STOP! STD”.
Some images from the campaign are below, but I really wonder what the actual message is supposed to be. Is it:
An appeal from the porn star to protect her from contracting an STD
The porn star has an STD but she is making an appeal for you to save yourself!
A general public awareness message that assumes that porn stars are the most qualified to deliver
For the conspiracists out there, do you think that because the “STOP! STD” sub-title is in English and “STD” is not common Japanese vernacular, it is a message for dirty gaijin’s to stop embellishing in perverted sexual practices?
An interesting promotional display for the Japanese movie ‘Hamedori’ (ハメどり). Hamedori is a Japanese term describing filming or photography of sexual activity from a first-person point of view.
