This week an article came out showing that women in Japan are clamoring to become hostesses. It used to be a profession that was looked down upon due to its tame but sexual nature. However, with the Japanese economy declining, women are coveting this very lucrative job.

Vanguard's Adam Yamaguchi produced an episode of Vanguard called "Robot Nation" exploring Japan, it's population decline, its reliance on a robotic labor force and womens' roles in the Japanese workforce. This is a segment from that show in which Adam spends some time being a male host at a bar trying to entertain working women. But a host in Japan is far different than a host in America. Let's just say Adam wasn't quite as sexy as he'd hoped. Check it out.
