“Subjects covered are always interesting. There’s always more to say about some of the more complex social issues in Japan, but in terms of the episode discussing host clubs, I often see host club touts (or in some way related) young men very aggressively pressuring young women on the street in Shibuya and Ebisu. It’s very unpleasant for the target of the moment and painful to watch. Commodification of desire and connection indeed. All the lonely people.”
