The Great Happiness Space

[genkainanoka]

For anybody who hasn't seen it. It's a documentary by Jake Clennel. And it's really worth a watch. The Great Happiness Space is about a host club that's in Osaka, Japan. You get to see what host club life is like behind the scenes. The boys talk about what they do for their jobs and how it affects them really.

This documentary made me so angry in

The club has actually gone now- if you go to the building there's just a restaurant there and a few bars and things. Makes me wonder which club is top dog at the moment and what happened to those hosts in the long run, and if the industry is still the same. With the recession, they must surely be struggling.

Awww. Well the thing is the owner was a host as well so I wonder if in the end the club just got closed down because he couldn't handle it anymore? During the documentary he did look really dogged down and he said himself that all of their livers were shot to hell.

I wonder what happened to those hosts. I hope they were able to somewhatly get into normal lives.

Thats what i'm curious about XD if it closed down, or got shut down, or moved and opened under a different name, or quite what. My friend wrote her end of year essay on hosting, so we went to look for it. XD

That's what I was wondering when I was watching the documentary too though. How they're able to say all these things so candidly knowing people are going to be seeing that documentary. Issei saying that girl was a freak and she was though calling him so often.

He should go back and do a follow up documentary.
