The models who posed
for the poster
for this massage parlour
in Japan
are Western
They're blonde as well as Western
I'll give you a close up now.
So if you go this massage parlour
Western face feeling
even though you're Japanese probably,
because the massage parlour is in Japan
And the models are of course
(Wechurn) Western in feature,
There's a book by a French author
called "il n'y a pas des manekin" (they don't have manekins)
(furansugo no hatsuon ga) wakaranai
They' don't have Japanese manekins
says the book
And, er, I don't know what
the explanation
the French 'aushore' (author) gives
But the simplies one is just, er
Westernisation
Hello!
There you go, pointy nose.
got a pointy nose havent you.
definately
not Japanese in features,
Here he is (nanka)
straight out of a er...
50's American TV commercial
But maybe a little be sort of...
mid pacific
There maybe something rather Japanese
about the fact that
he doesn't have a really big nose
like mine.
All the models, all the manekins
Have got, er, blonde hair.
They do have brown eyes though,
sometimes they have er..
blue eyes.
but not today
And the babies likewise,
They are blonde babies.
Yeah, if you buy your clothes
in this shop
then maybe your baby
will end up,
looking a bit like this?
It's not entirely clear what they are selling
but it is some kind of baby wear
and they're caucasians
I believe that the company though
which is called
Otogi no Kuni
No, that is not a er,
Western company
only the models are
On the poster behind me
Erm, there are
There's a er,
Its difficult to take a photo of that because its shiny
(but) a caucasian boy
and a black girl
That isn't so say that,
all models are caucasian
because there are
A lot of er, manekins
(sorry)
Not all manekins are caucasian
because there are a lot of manekins
like this one
which don't have a head at all.
but there are hardly any
that I've ever seen
with er Japanese heads,
but often there are headless manekins
Western models
are especially used
for advertising
underwear
I am not entirely sure why this is
but as you can see here
behind me
The er model for this underwear
these brassiers I believe
is er blonde
(on this) pillar,
again is another er
blue eyed model
Let's go and zoom in on her eyes,
yes, they're blue and
(they) if you buy
the things from this shop
then you have
a happ smiling
caucasian face (or so the poster wants to tell us)
Here's a really big
poster of a caucasian face
There she is, look at 'er!
Blue eyes, big blue eyes!
Yes, staring down at us.
Staring down at us
tellings us
that we should look like her.
Even though I am caucasian
I do look nothing like her,
However,
I look slightly more like her
than all the people in this shop
other than me,
who er distinctly Japanese
in comparison
Isn't it scary?
Wowww!
