I found some video one of my friends showed me from a Japanese variety show in which a series of celebrities (like actors, comedians, singers, ect) were lined up in front of podiums with a little yellow character with a bell on top of it's head. The hosts would show video of whatever current events were going on in Japan at the moment and the celebrities would take a hammer and ring the bell on the top of the character's head if what they just watched moved them in any way.
One thing they showed was a series of DVDs catered to people who are living alone or just lonely in which they can buy the DVD and pick from a selection of different people to "eat with". Basically, there was a surfer guy eating in front of the camera and then they showed a guy from Nepal eating curry with his hands and then a few pretty girls. The entire point was that it just featured people eating in front of you so you wouldn't feel like you were eating alone.
Please sweet Jesus God in Heaven, if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please find me more information on these DVDs. Please. I'll love you forever.

oh my god lol...is this serious? a video to help you feel like less of a loner?

That's weird, in Japan the social stigma of eating alone isn't as prevalent as it is in western countries. I'm surprised they have this, but then again if anyone were to ever make something like this I wouldn't be surprised if he were Japanese haha
|
awww, that sounds so sad... but imagine the table conversations you could have! you wouldn't have to worry about being interrupted and you could talk with your mouth full and nobody would care.
|
oh this is so silly haha.

Well, what else do you sell to the NEET and hikikomori demographic?

It seems that many people in Japan feel extremely isolated and lonely (hence the number of otaku in Japan).

Every person is doing the same thing: sitting at a white table in front of a white wall while they eat a meal. As they're eating, they'll talk a little of course. Like, the surfer guy was eating salmon and he pulled a bone out and said "Hone ka?" (A bone?) and shit like that. The Nepalese guy said something about how delicious his curry is and so on.
And oh my fucking God, it's the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Why is it the greatest thing?? lol

I can't explain it, you just have to see it. And you will see it if any of our resident Wapanese posters would see this thread. 
|
I read it as "featuring people-eating"...
|
How did you see it in the first place?
If on the Internet, link us. I'm curious lol
