banned from TV Tokyo's YOUは何しに

On October 10, 2018, TV Tokyo's production "protx" reached out to me asking if I'd be available to be filmed for a YOUは何しに "New Year special show on Monday, December 10th."

I accepted the offer (unpaid), but was told I was "not in the list of invitees at the moment." Then it took a weird turn.

On January 22, 2019, protx reached out randomly, with an offer (again, unpaid) to be a guest on a "matchmaking project on the show". I accepted, but received no further instruction.

Later, on February 6 of this year, I received a message from a "Director Muto" explaining that, as of March 5, I'd have a camera crew at my disposal.

From there I went on wikipedia and read up on controversies and allegations against TV networks in Japan and proceeded to cut and paste anything I might be capable of.

With the television crew in tow on March 5, I took out 3 magazines dating back from the turn of the century, formed a pyramid and began chanting "ii kasama imu ya" backwards, an occult practice I coined ha"ma hou en".

I struck again after by revealing a 400 yen manga comic book from 1999 that currently lists for 45,000 yen on Amazon called "Watashi ga mita mirai", because its cover art says in Japanese that a major catastrophe occured in 2011 March (nearly 12 years before Japan's 2011 eartsunucleatastrophe).

This all made the camera crew very uneasy.

I had summoned the dark forces, and those dark forces were looking to party!

Arriving in Shibuya (Tuesday, March 5), protx attached a mic pack to me, I led them to centergai, and told the story of how in the year Heisei 9, the eighth typhoon knocked down the centergai entryway turning where we stood into a vertible graveyard and reenacted a scene from the drama tsuinzu kyoushi (1993) to reference September 11 ("tsuinzu", centergai collapse ..).

The kuro majiku as it were, was something like when lifestream and holy surround the meteor in Final Fantasy 7. I had become the meteor in its descent, not just meteroic.

From centergai we walked to the Shibuya 109 construction site, where I uttered tales of ushinawareta 10nen or the "forgotten 10 years" (1990-2000) repeatedly.

Arriving at the once-redlight district of Shibuya hyakukendana referred to as "lovehotel hill", there the Japanese idol group 'Black Nazarene' was holding a photo op, and we interviewed a fan before making our way back to centergai and to gyaru cafe 10sion.

Outside gyaru cafe 10sion, its tout nervously texted upstairs that an entire camera crew was barging its way up, and at the closed door I advised the camera crew to watch and wait, how that the staff on the other side of the door (without a surveillance camera) will seek us out. Less than five minutes later the door creaked open and two concerned faces peered out at us. The director was granted permission, and we lugged our equipment on over and continued to film inside where (still on a wireless mic) I took a cassis orange into the bathroom and replaced it with 10sion's toilet water so that I could be seen nationwide drinking Japanese toilet water on TV.

As I sat, drinking toilet water at the bar, the bar manager Aya told me how she was in a Southern All Stars pv last year in 2018.

The director got on his phone, and confirmed Aya was in the music video for 'sounen jump' dancing in front of a mock-up Shibuya 109.

On Friday, March 8, protx scheduled the film me again. That following Friday, we met at Hachiko where Shibuya police demanded I stop drinking alcohol in all the affluent Chinese tourists' vacation photos backgrounds, and I led the camera crew down to the subterminal.

We arrived shortly after in Den-en-chofu, known as the "Beverly Hills of Japan", as protx grew wide-eyed in anticipation of filming on location inside an aging Japanese pop singer's cold to the touch granite fortress.

As we crept closer up Kanpachi dori (311), every step inching closer to the pop singer, the tension grew insurmountable.

Less than a minute and a half from the pop singer's fortress, I turned left into a McDonalds, bought a filet-o-fish set and the director stormed in demanding to know if this was what we came all the way for. I smiled, the conjured-up demons and monsters abound.

Three days later, the Japanese voice of an animated snowman was taken into police custody for having traces of cocaine in his urine. His supplier? An English interpreter from TV Tokyo's YOUは何しに.

If I could see which one of you fuckers downvoted this, I'd ban you all for life for inability to jerk.

So instead I'm just going to issue bans to anyone who's response I feel did not join in on the jerk.

Edit: But now I'm drunk, so even the bad comments seem semi-humorous. I guess no bans after all.

The presumably only sex tape I was in I had no idea about till he sent me a screenshot via LINE. I wanted to be mad but I just let it go. Other people have whipped out their phone and started taking pictures to the point that I was like whatever, do as you please then

I'm about to, by fiat, ban all phrases of "Holy shit!", "Jesus Christ!", and "Holy fuckballs", instead suggesting they be replaced with "Emperor's Bowels". (Capital E, mind you.)
