How We Pick Up Gay Guys in Japan

Much respect to the guy who realized he needed to be the pursuer.

I was a dancer in the 70s. We would go to Japan on 6 month contracts, first one was 1971. I went maybe 10 times. Gay life in Tokyo was crazy. There were thousands of bars in Shinjuku alone. When AIDS hit in the early 80s it was frightening being a foreigner. Bars, clubs and sau…show more

When a guy looks at me, I always nod and smile. That lets them know that they don’t have to be shy or worry that I will reject them. It takes a lot of guts to approach people; I admire their confidence.

Meng is very cute I can’t imagine he doesn’t get picked up a lot lol 😂

2:50 don’t underestimate the power of ~gay eye contact~ 😁😁

アグレッシブ（笑）にウケた。I used to ask for a lighter for first chat, in a bar or even club. Don't know if they are still allowed to smoke inside house though. I quit smoking for almost 10 years, but I kinda miss that smoky bars and clubs in Tokyo. ;)

That poor guy from Arty 😅 ...all night

I would definitely approach Meng and offer to buy him a drink....:-)

Would love for you guys to talk about straight Japanese guys that flirt with other guys...possibly bi or bi curious. I’ve had some experiences of that, every time I’ve been in Japan. Even in onsen

I had a really fun experience in Tokyo when I was at the Eagle and met this cute guy there. It was early and the bar was pretty quiet and he was sitting by himself so just sat next to him and asked if I could buy him a drink. Fortunately he was half Japanese, half Filipino and sp…show more

I'm straight but here I'm enjoying the stories

I knew one of you was Canadian! LOL! What you guys are describing when guys give each other "the look" ... is what used to be called "cruising" many, many years ago. It's a lost art now with Grindr and more general social acceptance. If you passed someone attractive on the str…show more

What is this gay friendly hospital??? Definitely need that info. Maybe a good video topic? Gay healthcare/PReP situation/STD situation in Japan?

Binging all your videos and I’m loving itttt. All the way from the Netherlands!

Here's a tip: ask someone, "Would you like to buy me a drink?" Whatever happens, you'll get a story out of it :).

Ohhh girl. I'm a mess. My anxiety prevents me from trying to approach anyone 😬😬😬😭😭

I've been approached 4 times in 2chome in Shinjuku. Once a guy was aggressive and grabbed my hand while I was leaving the smoking area near Shine Mart. I'm straight but I was flattered and happy that someone actually talked to me. That's a rarity for me in Tokyo 😂

You guys are so cute and hearing your stories have been so interesting!

Thanks for sharing the experience! I learned quite a bit. I am curious to find girl bars when I visit Japan as I would like to learn more about the LGBTQ+ scene prior to visiting. :)

HELP! But how do you know if they're flirting with you or if it's just an oblivious straight guy wanting to be friends? (or just being nice...I heard the stereotype is Japanese people in general are known for being "nice"...I've never been to Japan though) What are the signs? Lov…show more

In many areas, the use of "gay eye contact" as an initial flirtation can be indicative of a societal pressure against homosexuality or just personal shyness. I hate that this device is used at all because I seem to have been born without any ability to grasp "gay eyes" when they …show more

The anime bits* make me laugh so much

Meng in Arty: “SITTING ALONE IN THE V.I.P.”

Love your videos. Thank you so much ! It's hard to find good gay content about Japan in English. I'm so glad to have found you two !! Greetings from France. <3

I was in Osaka a year ago. I was so surprised how str8 forward is they gay guys, o lot of them approach me very friendly

I once succeeded on picking up a Japanese guy on a random straight Halloween party. I remember being so proud of myself hahahaha I was a bit bored with the party (straight people hitting on straight people, not much dancing going on, etc.) so I was just sitting when I noticed th…show more

You should learn some tricks of Phoebe from Friends. Lol she’s real smooth!

Hello, I started watching your channel after my Japanese boyfriend recommended it to me! You guys are great!🤗

Hahaha I love it Andrewww! I think I also worry that it might bother the other person but if I'm on the receiving end, I would find that super flattering haha This one was such a fun one to watch! I loved it!!!

My experience in a gay scene in Japan is that there are Japanese not interested in gaijins at all and others who are really into gaijin, but in general Japanese are not so open to show their feelings, even it is hard to communicate with them and decipher what they really want, so…show more

The best thing about this is Usagi's gossipy grin 😂😂😂😂😂

I have never had great luck in nichome or in Tokyo in general. I’ve had guys flirt with me and buy me drinks but they were usually gaijin on vacation, never locals haha. Maybe it’s cuz I’m chubby black guy tho. I’m definitely inspired to try again if I ever move back to Tokyo.

My two favorite GAY bachelors living in Tokyo 👍🇺🇸💪🌈

Sorry Meng BUT you don't look Japanese 😘, also, DM me for some tips <3

Meng is so adorable....I'm a straight woman, but I just want to hug him, and feed him delicious food. That is all. Thank you for listening. Lol.

I would hit on both of you. Love your content, guys! Keep on doing what you’re doing.

I so want the GIF of Britney and Patrick Star! best anime clip in this episode (though they're all good)

The nampa you described from Shibuya sounds like harassment... And then you say you want that? Do you want to be harassed? 😅 It sounds horrible, honestly. I’m glad I’m not a girl. It must be really tough.

to be quite honest, I'd even pay for an Onlyfans, if you had one, just listening to you talking totally explicitly - ha ha.

I love Tokyo, I get hit on by guys a lot more than here at home in the US. And I’m VERY OK with that. 😉
