Japanese Girly Bars/restaurants

[trt]

I watched a programme on TV about these bars where the girls are dressed and act like school girls, white socks etc..

Apparently the Japanese men like this sort of stuff, and just wondering has anybody seem them or know the name etc. Think there is a name for them.

By the way, I'm not a pervert, its for a holiday magazine.

[Samuraisan]

They are called " Kawaií ". Which means " Cute " and not ALL Japanese men are attracted to them. Mr. Sam thinks they are ridiculous.

[Peter Pedant]

they are live versions of anime characters are they not ?

we dont really have anime
but then the Japanese dont have sports fans running across the playing fields with their clothes off do they on tee-vee ?

[RandyMarsh]

Kawaii is more of a fashion thing is it not?

I have no idea what the term is but hentai would be a god place to start and work out from.

[Peter Pedant]

and god knows what the japanese would do if someone drenched in burda and shroud and the rest - said I insist on walking around like this to practise my religion

[Bathsheba]

Sounds like attraction they had to Geishas ;)

Baths

Samuraisan, is your oh Japanese?

PP is right in that the youngsters in Japan seem to dress up like anime characters. It might be a 'teen thing'. I have never been to Japan.

[DTCwordfan]

well the Japanese are a nation of fetishists, this, used knickers out of machine, life-like dolls, shibari, hentai, perverted animé, pedos, and all the rest, need I add more. It nearly approaches the kinks of our Cabinet ministers.

[Peter Pedant]

oh ! thank you - I have had two PP is right today
amid the 50 000 usual - Pp is a damned fool and what is he on about again ?

I shall put a star on my fridge ( or a plastic version of the anime girl the one that is bruised and covered in blood - weeeeeeird ! )

[Peter Pedant]

O dear DTC - you beat ( Ha ! ow ! pun intended ) me to it

I thought mine was more subtle .....

[Samuraisan]

Yes wolf he is

[Samuraisan]

DTC, how ignorant, or were you trying to be funny ?

[wolf63]

Samuraisan - my brother's pal and his wife moved to Tokyo with her job. He said that at first it was all so weird and different. But he slowly grew to love it - they are no longer there but were greatly tempted to stay on.

[Samuraisan]

I can imagine wolf. Everyone who goes seems to love it. We go a couple of times a year. If my children and grandchildren weren't here, we would
probably live there too. Like everywhere, it has changed enormously since I met MrSam there 40 odd years ago.

Its just not some Japanese men that like that remember St Trinians!!

Also quite insulting of you PP actually

[Old_Geezer]

Ah ... the 6th form of St. Trinians :-)

Sussies & stockings. Very schoolgirl-like.

[DTCwordfan]

Samurasian, cynical more like it.....but Japan does offer some unusual practices....

[DTCwordfan]

though I would say one thing in Samurasian's favour and that Japan is an interesting place to visit for its people, history and food - and not just Tokyo, especially when you get out into the countryside, especially the beautiful mountains.

[Samuraisan]

They certainly do DTC, but everyone we know liead normal lives ( or so we think !) . Biggest night out being down the sake and yakitori bar, and maybe , on occasion, a few hours in a Karaoke Roon.

[DTCwordfan]

One thing not for me, the Karaoke - in China, my staff would join in, not for saving face purposes but to save their ears. I could outpace a fire alarm in clearing a bar or a pub.....don't mind standing up and doing a comedy routine....

instant stereotyped apology Islay

ACTUALLY I was gonna put - "we all have cultural differences and we should be more tolerant of these difference - such as going around drenched in long black dresses"

but I thought to myself - no not today .....
