Japanese Crossdressing Show

I ran across this link to a Japanese television gameshow which judges crossdressers. If you click on the contestant number below the picture, you get about 1 1/2 minutes of streaming showing the judging. Enjoy!!

Hmmmmm....maybe this will take off and work it's way here.

Wow, that is so awesome. I wish I knew Japanese, but maybe the show will make it over here. That'd be cool.

Re: Japanese Crossdressing Show

My real beef with Japenese game shows is how they never approach things seriously and this game is no different. Yes it's promoting us but I do question if it's in a positive light.

The compare and his cronies do come over as if they are taking the mickey out of the contestants. My opinion only and I know some will see it differently than I do, I clicked on a few clips and that's how things seemed to me.

From what I can gather it's about GG's gettting their boyfriend's dressed as women so they are not true crossdressers although there are probably some of the guys who are in their element taking part.

Re: Japanese Crossdressing Show

This is so interesting--just last night in the book I was reading, "The End of Gender," by Shari Thurer, there was a little section about the Japanese. I quote this one paragraph:

---
[In Japan] male drag queens may appeal both to businessmen whiling away the ****tail hour in the thrall of a transvestite geisha as well as their wives. For many years running, an annual poll of Japanese women awarded the distinction of "sexiest male star" to a professional actor in Kabuki theater who portrayed women when on the stage and androgynously when off. Japanese housewives and teenage girls also flock the to the Takarazuka Young Girls Opera Company where male roles are played by actresses, a few of whom have become major superstars with large groups of swooning female followers. [. . .] Packs of female fans wait breathlessly at the stage door for the moment when they can see, take a photograph of, beg autographs from, give presents to, and maybe even touch their favorite female impersonator. There's a message about the flexibility here about sexual desire.
---

I am not sure how this may play into the Japanese game show here, but even still, I am fascinated by how gender is constructed in other (especially non-western) societies. It seems like there could be something in these different cultural approaches to gender that might illuminate something about gender in our own. Personally, I have never been too comfortable with what I perceived was a decidedly sexist element in Japanese society, but I have to admit that I don't fully understand that society either.

Re: Japanese Crossdressing Show

I have seen transvestites in Thailand, the Pilippines and Singapore over the years, and their societies tend to be less judgmental and more accepting of them. They go out in public, and I've never known them to be physically attacked or harrassed. I've admired that about those countries.

Re: Japanese Crossdressing Show

I am guessing that you all might not know of the huge gender bending in the music industry there.

As a matter of fact I feel the visual bands are many times better looking then the cders of japan. But , again that is what visual kei is about.
