Japanese Pick Up Artists

An amusing clip in which actor Junji Takada and pop star Go Hiromi attempt a challenge in which they must use their English language abilities to pick up a foreign girl at a bar:

Poor Takada never stood a chance.

“Face is 60 years, but body is 20 years.”
Takada knows all the tricks!

I bet with Takada’s sense of humor he can definitely get any woman his age.

A Japanese version of “Careless Whisper”? Man, I want that.

he is japanese, he asked her to sleep before to get the girl’s name !
Go san is still the best

I know this is a bit disrespectful to the woman, but is that really a woman? I’m sorry, but the fact that Japanese comedy shows are chock-full of cross-dressing in tandem with that previous post about the ladyboys, I don’t know what to think anymore. It also doesn’t help that her face reminds me of my uncle…

Kudos nonetheless to Go-san! I didn’t realize how incredibly refreshing it would be to hear a Japanese native speak English so well until I watched this video. (It’s been a very long time for me.)

Tell your uncle he missed his vocation. He should have have been a lady boy!

I thought she was quite attractive. I don’t know what you are talking about.

Not disrespectful at all. If she’s ugly say it.
I thought she was a man in wig at first glance myself.

Of course it’s a woman!!!!!!!!!! It’s my friend Camilla. She’s a model living in Tokyo and yes she’s really from Sweden.

http://community.livejournal.com/psychodollfie_c/ here’s a community for her. You can see more pics.

Shes a model for the gothic lolita bible in japan. That isnt a wig.

By some twist of fate, I ended up on this post again after searching for “Takada Junji” and took the time to look up pictures of this girl since her name was provided in the replies to my earlier comment.

I can say without any hesitation that she is indeed a very attractive young woman–much more so than this video and its lighting suggest.

I believe Hiromi Go has been living in New York off and on for the last few years. Plus he’s as suave as all get out. He’s picking her up while his own version of Careless Whisper is playing in the background!

If Takada knew more Enlgish he could get the girl. haha

“Face is 60, but body is 20″…

/(^0^)\SHOCK! I’ve actually had an Ossan say that to me before!
Chris

Hiromi did that pick up perfectly, but what lady could turn down Takada?
Nabe

Why exactly did everyone laugh when she said Nakano?

Gojira

Maybe they were expecting some Swedish city.

Nabe

She looked rather insulted after Junji Takada’s “Love me tender, love me do” as would any other girl.

When I grow old, I want to be like Go Hiromi.
GO CAMILLA!

YAAAAY GO CAMILLA! Wow, she’s really doing well to be appearing in something like this now =OOOO
