My friend, Mariko has a tattoo sported by French on her back. When I had dinner with her, suddenly she said she must go back home. At that time, I didn’t know the reason why she said such thing..
Because of my boring talk ? or she try to run away without paying dinner ? or because of my bad breath ? lots of pessimic idea came up in my mind. I asked her nervously. Why you must go back home suddenly ?
She said, “Oh, I have forgotten about arrangement of French TV program. French TV will feature Japan and they come to shoot Japan. So I must do some arrangement as soon as possible because French TV crew come to Japan this week end. And I must finish to arrange it before their coming.?E
“But why they are so tight schedule ? ?EI asked. And she said “At first, they have enough time for arrangement of shooting.. they intended to shoot Sumo. And they thought they can shoot it easily because they are famous TV station. In addition that, French president, Chirac is fanatic fan of Sumo. Why Sumo association decline French TV shooting ??E
But Sumo association decline or they must buy the shooted film from Japanese TV station. Because only one Japanese broadcasting company, NHK have the right to broad cast “Sumo?E And the film price is fucking expesivee. French TV negociate patiently. But they abandoned to feature Sumo. So now they try to feature the atomic bomb, and Hiroshima and Nagasaki, atomic bomb city.?EYou know atomic bomb victim cannot decline French TV offer because they are already dead.
How can you know the real Japan in such mass media system ? Japan that you know through TV is only completely arranged, admitted, scheduled, pretended, surface, expensive clean Japan. But you know, we have other side like your country.
If you want to know the Japan that is not seen at any other media, come to see the MasaManiA.
fuck you.

Tattoos – yuck. I despair that this stupid Western trend is becoming popular in Japan. At least they won’t tattoo themselves with Chinese characters that they don’t understand (www.hanzismatter.com).
A three for one update! This is a special day. Fuck you too.

Er… Tattoos may be a “stupid Western trend”, but they’ve also been a “stupid Japanese trend” for centuries, albeit one that for a long time was only popular with yakuza.
French tattoos are a yakuza tradition?

No
this image makes me think of sex
mariko is seductive
the beer makes me thirsty
nice shot
Hey Rolly — way to TOTALLY MISS THE POINT of this post. The very fact that you’re bemoaning the supposed poisoning of Japanese culture with Western tattoos is an indication that you too are under the influence of the “completely arranged, admitted, scheduled, pretended, surface, expensive clean Japan” that NHK and others try to show us. What would you rather Japanese people do — wear kimono and geta and sit in tea ceremonies all day? Nigga please.
masa, it’s not only japan that does that, but even here in the us!
sometimes i wish we’d have more of european programming, amsterdam style, which reminds me of eurotrip at this exact moment. masa, pick it up and you’ll laugh!
hi masamania. i think there is actually few good french documentaries about japan, on french TV. recently i saw a documentary about a french guy in tokyo, with some camera fixed on his head, so you can see “first person” style. anyway, the good point in this documentary, is that that french guy was just wandering in tokyo, asking people if he could sleep in their house, and doing some other unusual things. that was pretty good
as soon as ill be able to go to japan, ill do some film shooting about non-mass-media things \o/ masa-style
fuck NHK
=========from MasaManiA
Yes
“atomic bomb victim cannot decline French TV offer because they are already dead” Too fucking funny. Good point, Masa.

You know it’s not joke.
it’s the first time i add a comment here, I’m from france and i think this blog is really coooll!!! wit all this ‘fuck’ thats true Chirac is a ‘sumo-lover’ lol now, i’ll try to comment on the next subjects!!!!
==========From MasaManiA
THank you
wow! Masa, your friend has a really beautiful tatoo!
Is it on the back or front? it seams as it’s on her back but it’s hard to tell from that angle. I want to meet her 😀
=======from MasaManiA
she is really interesting girl.
Same here, pal.
Many of my Japanese people i know in Paris came here with a vision of France straight outa 18th century/romantic fantaisies. They often change their mind after a few days here…
How can you know the real World in such mass media system ? World that you know through TV is only completely arranged, admitted, scheduled, pretended, surface, expensive clean World. But you know, we have other side like your country.
I think it is the same for lot of country. In France, you can choose to stay stupid if you just watch TV… French people (and others, maybe but I speak about what I know because I am french), have to select their program TV and the channels,… because, of course it is never the real life. Some channel belong to political side, and it is never the real life who is shown..
bye//
Tatoos are great!
I love your blog.

Thank you
NHK sucks! There budgets are like 10 billion dollars a month, but all of their shows are shot on handicams! The news is a joke! They spend the whole show talking about something unimportant, repeating the same things over and over! And then they pull out some models and computer animation of the scene where whatever happened. Like who cares where the stairs and the door were that the murderer went through? what a waste of time. NHK should be disbanded and all of the executives should get jobs in 7-11.
fuck it!
Hell! you always speak the truth Senor Masa! That’s why I love your site!
If you ever need money for keeping Masamania alive I’ll happily make you a transfer!
Your’re right, Fuck the NHK!
everyone in Japan should be getting cable TV or something, I just got SKY a couple months ago cuz I couldn’t stand the lame news anymore!
It’s always like this:
First five minutes: “News about the economy and politics”
Next minute: International news= “war on Irak, the world outside Japan sucks, luckily no Japanese dead overseas”
Next four minutes: “The Chinese hate us, the Koreans hate us, today 50 people were assasinated in Japan -one of them by Chinese students- so fuck the other 49 people and full cover story about those cruel Chinese assasins)”
Next ten minutes: “a very kawaii panda was born on the Mie Zoo, it’s so cute!”
Last ten minutes: “weather report”
========from MasaManiA
THat’s right. but sometime weather report girl is also cute.
Hi Masa,
Please tell Mariko that we want to see photo of her famous bush (pussy, cunt, etc.). (There’s nothing sexy about her back) I tried to find it on the internet –
http://images.google.com/images?q=Mariko&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images
–
but am unsure which is her. Please tell me and please post bush shot.
===========From MasaManiA
If you want to see bush, how about asking to your mom ? because your mom must have more hairly bush.
I don’t like tatoos like hers-straight off the wall pictures and devoid of meaning. I dislike when people get a tatoo because it’s trendy or cute.
I drew my own ideas for the ink on my arm and I have another piece planned out for when I go back to the US.
Mariko lover, there are plenty of pictures of Bush on the internet…
how can nhk be the only network to broadcast sumo when i’ve seen sumo on eurosport? i suppose they buy all the footage from nhk? i can’t believe it’s so expensive that they couldn’t purchase the rights to a few minutes when eurosport airs entire tournaments. maybe the french tv station was just small or being cheap! sumo is a really boring sport btw. they’re better off showing mariko’s tattoo lol (no offense intended to sumo fans. just an opinion.)

SAVE YOUR BRAIN, DESTROY YOUR TV, or, as a rapper said (i don’t remember his name) “television, the drug of a nation , kills da neighbourhood and gives radiations. We are saved by the net and all the indies that do a great job like you and help us understanding the world so that we feel we belong to the same planet. “Masa, ton site, il dechire trop sa race!” french slang to say your site is kicking ass. Keep on doin’ it and fuck assholes that don’t agree
fuck TV, nobody seen japan like the one we seen on this website.
I can’t believe it, my co-worker just bought a car for $18121. Isn’t that crazy!
I’m french (born and living in Paris) and i can confirm that that reportage of Japan was crappy :p It has been broadcasted during summer.
Real Japan is here not on TV 😀 (especially on french one lol)
“And they thought they can shoot it easily because they are famous TV station.”
Well they’r popular here, but 95% of the things they broadcast really sux 😮 Even News are bad.
Hey Masa, fresh news, Chirac is not only sumo-lover but also japanese banks-lover, a french satiric newspaper found a hidden bank account where he hides 50 million euros. show us sumo and hide us te stolen money but no tv will come to shoot the bank!
