In tokyo the japanese government is increasingly worried about the countrys future recent years the birth rate has fallen sharply and so have the number of marriages but now oco has nevertheless decided to tie the knot one up with a package that youve chosen you can design a custom bouquet you can select the flowers you want. Twenty nine year old now co is thrilled at the idea of living a fairy tale shes opted for a western style ceremony for her dream wedding. Lets planning until tomorrow is the big dangling look at the country is it. Good. To make sure everythings perfect not ok oh is assisted by professional wedding planner yukiko. You are so cute that looks amazing on you. It. Was. An empire style dress its like something from napoleons time. For her this may look like preparation for an ordinary wedding thats not quite the case there is no partner or fiance. I completely forgot to look for a boyfriend. Now oco is going to get married on her own in japan this is called a solo wedding and its becoming increasingly popular yukiko as agencies started offering them a few years ago now theyre a trend. At the beginning i had a thirty four year old employee who had no plans to get married and yet who had wanted nothing more than to wear a Wedding Dress since she was a little girl that she was quite upset at the idea that was never going to happen and one day she confided in me that she would really like to have the opportunity to dress like a bride and she asked me to organize that for. Also wanted to live out her dream wedding all while remaining single. But. Marriage is just one of a number of life choices because i dont know yet if i want to get married or live with someone or not. For the equivalent of two thousand four hundred euros now close so no Wedding Service lasts twenty four hours it includes a Wedding Dress fitting a visit to a Makeup Artist or hair stylist a florist and ends with a photo shoot. If you look at the camera please. Mostly i can see im not sad at all not to have a green. Are you happy yes im having an amazing time. You picos agency has already organized hundreds of solo weddings for young women the bride to be is always offered an actor to play the role of the groom but they always refuse. In japan marriage is on the decline fewer and fewer people are marrying and the birth rate is low the population is currently shrinking by some two hundred thousand people a year its estimated that by twenty six the countrys population could shrink by thirty percent but i think that today men are financially very stressed with the financial crisis they no longer have the courage to start of that. In addition to economic wire is in the land of tamagotchis the virtual pairs real emotions and carmel pleasures no longer have their place a quarter of japanese thirty to forty year olds are virgins so how old are you im forty four. Have you ever had sex you know. In a way is among the rising number of japanese men who decided to forgo sex they prefer manga heroines to women that own age now thats brilliant. In japan about half of adults under the age of fifty say they havent had sex in the past months so how do you prefer sex without love all love without sex. Says love without sex meeting oh yes me too japan is also the worlds biggest producer of pornographic films thirty thousand each year but the socalled sex crisis has reached this industry to not enough actors to go around and i dont film star shimmy ken has sounded the alarm so easy and the. Today there are only two thousand bengal tigers left in the world and were like them as an endangered species. Singles no longer seem to know how to form relationships and seduction seems to be and all start home how long if youve been single for. Long years. Whats behind this apparent trend in japan is the waning interest in romance and sexual relationships and the plummeting birth rate a purely japanese phenomenon or is it a sign of things to come. In tokyo a metropolitan region of more than thirteen million youd think it would be easy to find a soulmate but instead new Business Models are taking the place of romance like tyros partnership rental agency.

In tokyo there are armies of young men up for rent some like rico play the role of public boyfriend others work in bars and make conversation with lonely women at the establishment even use them as theyre selling point. Whats behind all of this is it lack of time shame or fear recent study found that more than half of singles in japan dont have a friend of the opposite sex. But twenty four in a way has never had a relationship for him women are a mystery. So hes decided to try something new. Will come just come with me. Think about is what is called a cuddle cafe a lounge where you can pay to spend a few minutes in the arms of a young woman. You can start off your shoes by. Dozens of small alcoves welcome the clients who are prepared to spend large sums of money for a short moment of comfort here you pay sixty euros an hour just to lie down next to a hostess on the bill can quickly add up you have to pay more euros for her to hold you in her arms for three minutes or sixteen euros to rest your head in her lap hello nice to meet you hello. Flukey will be tending to in a way today here minutes mean money so her time. Is never far away. From now we have sixty minutes take a look at our services. Little. One quarter im spoiled for choice here of course because of that theyre not going to head on lab is one thousand yen for three minutes. Ok but im not sure i can do it this of course you can and dont be hard on yourself everyone can do it. Fuquay eventually overcomes in a way shyness hes decided to book the triple package. What would you like to start with head in arms head in lat or the massaged the. Canary be a massage. Of course turn this way. Theres no skin contact the mass saatchis down over clothes but in a way seems spellbound. The next stop had in last. Place your head here. In a way shyness returns. The way it works in the mire to go to where ever you want anything is fine and. Reassured in a way finally let some self slip into conversation. When i was in high school i started to like catch on the singer. But why are girls fans of female singers. What do you actually like is it watching a cute girl and the atmosphere of the concert if. I like it all theyre all really entertaining. More entertaining than a boy band. Half. One hour of coddling in a way seems to have developed a taste for female contact. Your. Archly was very nice. Until now i had never thought to do Something Like this. I thought i would contrary to what i had imagined real girls arent so bad i really liked it more than i would have come up with. The couple cafe doesnt only draw inexperienced men like you no way he also tends to many japanese men who have no one to talk to. The people who come here are people who have problems and you cant talk about them to their colleagues their superiors not even their friends. Or its people who want to meet a girl dressed up as amanda heroine like me. But not every fantasy is catered to sexual contact is off limits. And. Before entering the room. The customer is informed of the rules so incidents are very rare. At the end of the session in a way is finally allowed a few seconds of embrace. If you prefer to stay seated for the hug right. So come on. Thank you. Both thank you very much im happy to have met you too. I had a great time thank you so much. Thank you see you soon i hope. In a way its an experience with women isnt just you to shyness he tends to prefer video game heroines to women of flesh and blood. Im with real girls not because i dont know what theyre thinking. You know they could lie to me while smiling sweetly or not at all the same with their friends behind my back they could criticize me. Whereas girls in video games would never betray me because the men who create the games have been invented their ideal women acquitted. When hes not working in a coal center in a way lives in a fifteen square meter apartment where he spends hours in front of a screen its a lifestyle that suits him well. So its a good skier i dont really feel the urge to be in love for get married i cant even imagine i. Prefer being alone and spending my time playing video games without reading monger games. I dont know so i dont really look at the future. On the canals. This afternoon in a way hes meeting up with some friends theyd never had a romantic relationship either all thank. God that i never got a leg out of. This is one of many ways favorite shops a fantasy playground from bangor fans that sells pornographic magazines in these erotic manga young men find the women of their dreams. I hardly know where to begin. Breasts to infinity. To regain the other chris what is infinity me unlimited breasts flow i see it all good. Its insane really crazy. Its great amazing. Great. Thing up until one of us is. Slabs. In the building next door seven floors are dedicated to sex and masturbation. One of the role. Model and. The most popular programs for men the tender the pretty lubricated masturbation tube the sex toys a huge hit since two thousand and seven moment two million of them have been sold in japan at five euros a piece. In a way and his friends are part of a generation that seems to be turning its. Back on the real world its hard to imagine that the demographic trends here will change any time soon one reason why young people are engrossed in video games rather than human relationships could be because the traditional family model is losing its appeal. Husband and her children are a middle class families they have a two bedroom apartment in the tokyo suburbs. And here children i got you something and some sweets. Yoko is forty five years old she became a mother later in life because she valued her career in japan women generally give up work to look after their children seventy percent of japanese mothers leave their job after their first child yoko was an interpreter and hesitated to give it all up. If. Its difficult. I didnt really want to get married yet. But then i wanted children. Today fewer and fewer japanese women are willing to sacrifice their careers traditionally only their husband works during the one nine hundred ninety s. The country experienced an economic crisis which spelled the end of job security. Husband yasser nouri is a Civil Servant he says this economic upheaval had a Lasting Impact on the younger generation. Young men are under a great deal of economic pressure on the economic crisis has led to many changes in Japanese Society and its made starting a family seem unappealing. And you know any case times of change these days youre not under as much pressure to marry. Another thing thats made parenthood unappealing is that in japan children rule the roost for many parents that spells the end of intimacy. Everything is organized to focus on the children and then come the parents. Becoming a family is not very exciting of course we love each other. But weve become a dad and a mom. With children. Not a couple so. There are lots of couples who dont have sex. Maybe once or twice a year. Maybe no sex at all. Ok whos is who. In the rare moments that no current husband spend together are usually tending to their children. Brush your teeth. At bedtime yoko sleeps with one of her daughters. So to do this every night yes. She likes sleeping here. Or our kids or princesses. Go. Yes nouri finishes his be alone. When he goes to berent but not in his bedroom he spends his nights in a bunk bed. This languishing interest in sex and intimacy the falling birth rate has many experts concerned some have decided to tackle the problem head on. Is a counselor and sex therapist. Together with an architect she designed an apartment intended to boost the libido. This so here is the bedroom or through johns. Oh yes i see the lamp i wore then yes i looked at their. Site it seems like any other japanese home but the living room is different. Source heres the lead. With this you can see what it is. You know this here you remove like this. Japanese homes or small plot to be architect has included a surprise. What are you doing. You know so im just removing the lid once its removed theres a bathtub weve got an artist so this is the kind of stuff so when the boyfriend comes home with this you can create a relaxing environment and the relationship will surely become more internet and you just the. Other elements of the design are also intended to enhance positive energy. Yet they need a way to get the ball here you have direct sunlight so its well exposed so if a woman lived here she would become more feminine so shed release hormones that would allow or to exude charm. And theres more pole dancing bar in the middle of the room they can work wonders in all sorts of ways. But you know when you work on your core muscles you have more stamina. You get tired less quickly youre more energetic at night and your sex life is a lot richer it was or you had no sex i was it wasnt. This apartment and several others like it are currently on sale. In. Mr cash he has been married for twenty years hes also in a sexless marriage and has taken a lot. They go out every sunday he enjoys taking her photographs. Will come to our like the way she looks at you her eyes see. Him saori looks quite young but not very animated. But thats great thanks very sexy. Mister to cash his lover is a silicon doll. In japan we believe its not good to take photos by the water and attract bad spirits but. These dolls also known as love dolls are becoming increasingly popular in japan. We pay a visit to mr cash at her. Welcome come in. Thank you. Do you live alone here yet you know our live with two people here. This is so boring how do.

Mystery to cash she lives in the suburbs of tokyo his wife lives in the countryside one hundred kilometers away she visits from time to time and seems to have come to terms with the arrangement. First she was a little scared because she found them too lifelike the less they would know shes used to. This. Do you have sexual relations with the dolls. You know certain happens your wife isnt jealous. I think chicks are gentle. Mr to cash is to love dolls were born here theres company the employees who hold the secrets to their production preferred to remain anonymous. And we have several more. To make different just sizes in different parts of the body. Part sort of. In the next step the dolls are removed from the mold theyre now in their final form and already include some custom options ordered by the customer. Now they just need a face they should look human and inspire emotion. To make the faces as real as possible i strive to create very human features and sometimes even add little imperfections for more detail. But dolls are proving very popular some customers have more than ten of them at home the clear winner is a mysterious millionaire who owns a collection of one hundred. In his showroom the Company Director shows us his latest creations he says theyre close to perfect. That as you can see weve carefully drawn the lines of the hand on the palm just like in real life. And when you bend the joints youll notice that you can put the legs in any position you wish. There is even a mechanism in the stomach which allows the legs to be raised into this position. If you want to lift your buttocks. So you know what the colonists.

Six circles a combat support but one thats done inbred. Gymkhanas proud of his output hes appeared in more than seven thousand five hundred films. He has his own explanation for the languishing libidos of many japanese traditional gender roles have changed a great deal in recent years. Where men are no longer willing to be submissive and have become more emancipated. After theyve done that and thats to say thats not its not men no its become weaker its women who have become stronger. Shes today men are afraid of getting hurt but theyre afraid of failure when they flirt. And there are also more and more ways to communicate. Like texting for example. Theyre allowing us to live without a real interaction it gets and they push people to withdraw into themselves a lot of. People. For the next three hours shimmy can will be working hard on this rob a minimalist sat. At the end of the shoot he takes a few more vigilance but has barely enough time to catch his breath.

Then he invites them to taste the sacred socket. As his custom they share three cups which they take turns drinking. And then clamor amery co exchange found their families are visibly moved.
