The term "aid communication" is something I believe everyone has heard of.
Born in Japan in the 1990s, it originally referred to the act of teenage girls agreeing to date men in order to get money.
Today, more than 20 years later, the term "aid to diplomatic relations" has gradually gained more meaning, and the culture of aiding diplomatic relations has become one of the representatives of Japanese sexual culture and is well-known overseas.
Recently, a new Japanese drama has targeted this theme, skillfully combining adult ethics and the element of pure love of young girls.
It's just --
Daddy live
Daddy Live
The show also has a name: Uncle Help Me.
At first glance, doesn't it feel a little dirty?
Don't think about it, it refers to a social software that connects uncles and girls in the play -
On the one hand, rich uncles are tired of playing in club nightclubs and want to help girls with dreams;
On the other hand, girls who have dreams but no money only need to eat and sing with their uncles to get paid.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to use the Internet to help uncles and girls exchange the required APP.
However, unlike the "aid", the new mode of communication provided by this software has a rule:
Only dating, no physical relationships.
Many young and beautiful girls are eager for this way of making money.
Some even have four "dads" at the same time, so they buy designer bags and high-end restaurants at will.
I contacted 4 rich uncles
When "Uncle Help Me" became widespread, there were still many people who questioned it.
The heroine of the drama, the female college student Xingli, expressed deep concern when she first heard about this way of making money:
Will personal privacy be stolen, right?
Want to send a photo, this is known to a friend?
However, in the face of the heavy reality, these worries are not worth mentioning -
The mother wants to live with her new boyfriend and "kicks" herself out of the house, and Xingli suddenly becomes homeless.
Ask a girlfriend to help, the other party said that there is a cleanliness habit can not live with others;
He asked his boyfriend for help, only to find out that he and his friends were involved.
This is good, the problem of living is not solved, and the boyfriend is gone.
Under the continuous blows, Xingli began to contact the "uncle help me" dating software.
However, the uncles she knew through software far exceeded her fantasies:
Either it is obscene;
Either it's awkward;
Either it's greasy.
Life is not easy, and making money is even more difficult.
However, the business of buying and selling has always been a willingness to fight, a willingness to suffer.
The fundamental reason why this software is popular is that this supply and demand relationship between uncles and girls exists objectively.
Speaking of this, friends who remember well can probably recall that the shop has given everyone a documentary before - "Japanese Underage Sex Trade".
A BBC reporter came to Tokyo to learn the secrets of Japan's "JK café" industry.
Forgot, poke▼
JK is an abbreviation for Joshi Koukousei, meaning "female high school student".
Most of the people who patronize JK Cafe are some middle-aged uncles.
For the money for a cup of coffee, they can casually chat with one of the female high school students.
It can be seen from here that the island country's "culture of aiding diplomatic relations" has blossomed in all walks of life.
Whether it is the JK Café that exists in reality or the virtual dating software in "Daddy Live", it is just a microcosm of it.
The person who fictionalized this dating software in the drama "Daddy Live" is the screenwriter Shinji Nojima.
It's not a familiar name, but you've definitely heard of this person's work.
His "College Teachers", "Human Disqualification", and "Minors" are known as the "Campus Trilogy".
Teacher-student love, homosexuality, school violence, inbreeding... Various elements of "destroying the three views" were mixed in his works, creating a phenomenon-level Japanese drama.
Speaking of which, in fact, there is no shortage of such dramas that shatter the three views in the island country.
Like the previous "Day Face", "My Terrible Wife", etc., the clichéd topic of marital infidelity has been played with different tricks.
However, in "Daddy Live", Nojima Shinji plays bigger: there are both ethical elements of friendship and a small fresh element of pure love.
The male protagonist in the play is a middle-aged uncle named Kuriyama Hang.
He was thin in stature, elegant in demeanor, loved literature and art, and was a university professor with a stable income.
For Apricot, who has lacked fatherly love since childhood, Hang simply satisfies all his beautiful imaginations of adult men.
The reason why Hang will use this software is actually because he lost his daughter in his early years. He has always wanted to find his own emotional sustenance from other young women.
One looking for an uncle, one looking for a daughter, both of them also looked at each other correctly, and they hit it off.
You think it's that simple?
wrong.
Xingli later discovered that Hang was actually his own college teacher.
The embarrassment on the faces of the class is probably only understood by them.
More embarrassing is still to come -
As they got along further, the number of dates between the two in the "secret base" of the flight increased.
Once born and cooked twice, three times and four times, some subtle emotions quietly appeared in the heart of the apricot.
This kind of look at each other's eyes can almost be compared to pure love films.
At this point in the development of the plot, there are already three layers of relationship between Xingli and Hang: father and daughter, teachers and students, and lovers.
Although the emotions of both sides have not yet been penetrated, we can feel the ambiguous relationship between the two people across the screen.
Not to mention this starry sky, the two people affectionately and romantically talk to each other.
[We] seem to be each other the people in the world who know them best
As for the end of the story of the two people, we still do not know.
However, what is certain is that the dating software in the play, as well as the JK Café in reality, are only the disguised manifestations of "aid communication" in the new era.
Do you think that the uncles who patronize the café really just want to drink coffee and chat?
Do these dating apps that advertise "no physical relationships" really not lead to sex trafficking?
No one dared to answer in the affirmative.
Speaking of which, the degree of development of the "diplomatic aid" industry in the island country may exceed your imagination.
Shop once saw in a report that the proportion of female students in the island country has reached 13%, and it is on the rise.
Some intermediaries even collect the personal information of the women who are aiding the women and publish the PO on the website.
These girls, who are in the flower season, are selected and reserved as commodities.
Surprisingly, the vast majority of these female students who participated in the aid were voluntary.
Even if some of them are really just chatting and eating, it is inevitable to embark on the road of prostitution for a long time.
What's more, for a designer bag, a concert ticket, a trip fare, it is easy to sacrifice their bodies, and the degree of openness to sex is staggering.
Under this open sexual culture, the single rate of the island nation is amazingly large, which forms a great irony.
For them, stable love and marital relationships between men and women are no longer necessary.
What's more, they would rather indulge in virtual relationships in games and networks than have a real love in real life.
Whether this is the inevitable result of modernization or a retrogression of society, scholars from all walks of life have different opinions.
It is undeniable that some of the most sincere emotions seem to be getting farther and farther away from us.
