The themed rooms are cool and all, but way too pricey. I usually just went to standard rooms.

I stayed a Disco themed room in Kyoto. It's was awesome, it had mirrored floors, walls and ceiling, plus a bunch of neon. I'll upload some photos.

This guy? He can't even translate what he's saying in Japanese properly for the subtitles. He doesn't even cover many of the reasons WHY love hotels are so popular: people in their 20s/30s still living at home, most people don't socialize in the household, maybe a love hotel is closer than going home (especially for people that commute into tokyo for work), etc.
Watch his other video about picking up Japanese women and tell me whether or not he looks depressed the whole time? Not to mention the things he says in the other video are sometimes straight out wrong.
And he sounds so creepy in Japanese... I've heard some pretty bad accents but this one just takes the cake as the creepiest.
But anyway, I was also pretty disappointed about content in the video and seemed like he just wanted to show how weird and foreign it is without putting it into context. Still pretty interesting (since I've never been!).
dou--------shit te?
Also, they aren't all crazy like that. The Christmas one shown is only like that on the outside. The rooms on the inside are absurdly normal. It's located in Umeda, Osaka.
Creepy gaijin accent ruined the video for me too.

and since he tries to spin it as "this is the real truth about japanese women, that you can't hear anywhere else" without providing context, it's wrong.
One of the things I noticed was flat-out wrong was where he was talking about long-term relationships and he says something along the line of "either she has to give up your country or you have to give up yours".. AFAIK Permanent residency is the way to go, I'm pretty sure naturalization in Japan is fairly hard, and doesn't require you to immediately relinquish US citizenship

Whoa.. Old thread, I forgot about it. What led to your sudden change of mind?
