lucky760Fascinating. *promote
I just wish he would explain why they allowed him in and why they felt so keen to invite him back to photograph inside the coffin.
Those all seem like things they'd never ever have any reason to allow.

newtboyAmazing access he gained to a normally closed and close knit 'secret' society.
I wish there was more about the tattoos. Japanese full body suits are my favorite kind of tattoo by far.
*quality
siftbotBoosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by newtboy.
lucky760And he lived with them for 2 years just so he could post a short video on the Internet afterward?
whaaa?

robbersdog49Why is shit like this presented with such reverence? For all the ceremony and posh suits these are criminal thugs. They aren't just some other culture that does things it's own way and has finally accepted the guy as one of their own, they know exactly what they are and what they're doing.
I'm sure he got a very interesting look at the way a very secretive society is run. There will be a lot that he's seen and photographed that the rest of the world won't know about or have seen before. It's interesting, I get that, but I think it would be all the more interesting if juxtaposed with the bad stuff. Show the photos of them there, all solemn in their suits, but don't forget the kids who are starving to death as their parents rot in prison or are killing themselves slowly in some disgusting drug den somewhere, paying for everything the Yakuza have.
Everything they have is built on death, pain and suffering of others.
Asmosays...Because without such reverence, he would never have been given access...
He might actually feel deep respect for them or he might despise them, but you don't get access to criminal underworlds by walking up to them and insulting them.

lucky760Let us also be reminded that they are behind most (or all) of Japan's child pornography industry.
