Nothing too exciting...

is going on right now. BUT, I did finish making a video for my comedy duo, Gaijindantai, about Free Hugs...? It is inspired by all those cheezy Free Hugs videos that are shot in black and white slow-motion and have some crappy acoustic guitar song as the bgm. Yes, everyone needs hugs... This video is sure to touch your heart and bring a tear to your eye:




In other news (AKA One Pound Gospel):
The sisters were in Shinjuku one day picking up garbage off the street, when sister Angela was approached by a guy asking her to come to his club. She said "no" at first, but when he told her that they were in trouble and needed her help with something, being the good samaritan that she is, she agreed to go. Well, the guy takes her to a host club (host clubs are places women can go to be treated like she matters by guys, basically gigilos, who pander to her every desire...as long as she keeps buying expensive drinks for everyone at her table.) When sister Angela realizes what the place is, she tries to leave, but the Number One host comes and tells the sad story of his life: he has to work at the host club because his parents got into a lot of debt and sold him to the club to pay it off. She is so moved by the story, that she agrees to buy some champagne to help him out...one thing leads to another, and before long she has racked up a $4,000 bill...and finds out the host's story had been a lie. Wow...stupidest nun EVER. So, now the nun has to come up with the cash by the end of the week or the host will tell on her and get her kicked out of the nunnery. Kamenashi Kazuya finds out about it though, and tries to earn the money to pay off her debt by working at the same host club...which was entertaining to watch. Then his boxing coach finds out and busts into the host club to take him home and there meets the number one host, who she recognizes from a magazine (they had conveniently been looking at earlier in the episode) as non other than the number one boxer in Japan. Wow...what a small world. In the end Host-Boxer challenges Kamenashi Kazuya to a match...the title match for Japan's boxing league. If Kamenashi Kazuya wins, Sister Angela's debt will be cleared, but if Host-Boxer wins, Kamenashi Kazuya will have to pay $10,000. OMG! Who will win?! Hmmm...I wonder...I can barely contain myself until Saturday night, when we will find out...
If you want more One Pound Gospel, here is the official site: http://www.ntv.co.jp/1pound/
It is in Japanese, but even if you can't read it, the picture on the main page is pretty awesomely ridiculous.
