Hello peeps!
Today I'd like to share with you guys an eye opener, a beautifully crafted documentary about host clubs in Japan. What's a host club you say? Well, a host club is mainly where hosts entertain their clienteles, mostly women, in the club atmosphere. Girls came to host clubs to dream and fall in love... at a cost.
For anime/manga lovers, remember these guys?
Ouran High School Host Club, a cute and romantic anime revolving around a tomboyish girl with a band of playful hosts. I personally like the anime and had always envisioned that most host clubs to be the same. A place where girls can play and fall in love with the boys she chose as her host. It was a wonderful gesture and adventure.
But today I'm not gonna talk about Ouran... Today I wanna talk about...
The Great Happiness Space: A Tale of an Osaka Love Thief
(Directed by Jake Clenell)
And here the video
I'm really bad at explaining things but I'll try.
Here is this documentary revolving around a host called Issei of Rakkyo Cafe. And my, my did I get shocked by what really is behind the scene of a host club.
After watching the video, I felt dazed and shocked. I couldn't believe what I just watched. I could hear the mirror to my dream was shattered. I could never look at host clubs the same way ever again. It is really an eye opener. After all that, I then got myself together. I felt sorry for both the hosts and their clients. Its a really a cruel world and a brutal cycle. It makes me feel my life was far better off than theirs. My heart clenched when one of the hosts mentioned that he could never trust anyone else and could never fall in love, in any circumstances because of his work.
Man, it makes me want to re-evaluate my life. Enough about me.
I suggest you guys watch the video and see what it is all about. There's no point in me telling you anything because it'll just spoil most of what the documentary has to offer. haha
Alright that's all peeps. Thanks for reading!
ciao ciao~
