The Fundamentals of Japanese Nanpa
Part One with English Subtitles
(Continue to Part Two)

One of our most popular 'series' at ZENRA is our happening Amateur Nanpa section, but what exactly is 'nanpa'?  We show it a lot, but we do wonder just how many are familiar with the Japanese take on picking up random women off the street for potential sex.  It's pretty much pickup 101 and anyone that has had some level of involvement in pickup communities should see some similarities.

Although we've shown many 'nanpa' titles in the past and continue to feature many way, way into the future, today's update, THE FUNDAMENTALS OF JAPANESE NANPA by HOT ENTERTAINMENT, is probably the first true blue certified nanpa title we're showing.

This one's rough around the edges--in a good way, that is!  What is quite common in regular nanpa releases is just to show a quick successful street approach followed by the bulk of the scene happening in a hotel room somewhere.  FUNDAMENTALS is less about that (though of course it happens!) and more about the journey to get there.

Thus, rather than feature professional pickup artists (something HOT ENTERTAINMENT uses for most of its releases), this one has those professionals 'train' amateur men who have never approached women before!  What you see then in this big 3 hour double update is a lot of real street game including tons of approaches, rejections from mild ignores to full-on verbal assaults (like that very cruel woman in the final scene!), some number exchanges, a few then-and-there cafe meetups, and of course a few encounters that really do lead to sex at a hotel!

The approaches are extremely enjoyable to watch though those who suffer from Mitgefühl (the opposite of schadenfreude where seeing someone's embarrassment makes you feel even worse!) may wish to prepare themselves mentally as the levels of burns some of these brave men receive from approaching real, random women can be intense.

That's what's great about FUNDAMENTALS.  It's incredibly *real*!  I will admit more as a JAV fan than anything else that almost certainly the final women who do go to hotels with these men probably are 'in' on it to some extent, but the approaches that don't result in hotel sex later probably are actual women.  You don't ever clearly see them thanks to blurring their faces and having the cameras angled off-center, but their replies are clear as day and of course they're all subtitled in English.

So yes, THE FUNDAMENTALS OF JAPANESE NANPA is more of a JOURNEY release rather than a DESTINATION one.  You will need patience to get the most out of this!  Please don't just skip to the hotel room encounters as you'd be sacrificing the guts of the story for quick carnal enjoyment.  Even those hotel encounters are great as it shows a very realistic sexual buildup between two people who were complete strangers just shortly ago.  There's very little of an 'AV' feel to what they do which comes as a fantastic breath of fresh air!

JUN DMC, the nanpa master of this title, doesn't explicitly say it, but nanpa really is a numbers game.  As the three amateur men taking part soon realize, you really gotta go out there, push yourself, accept rejections, and keep on approaching girls.  What you say isn't terribly important, but how you present yourself is!  JUN even recommends sometimes just to approach women and tell them straight up that you find them cute and would like to take them to a cafe, restaurant, etc.  Sometimes being direct with one's emotions can result in the best success.  Besides, there's no need to beat around the bush!  Guy approaches girl in public and the reasons are quite obvious.

It's hard to promise whether we'll be showing many more titles that follow the format of FUNDAMENTALS.  We'll *definitely* regularly be showing HOT ENTERTAINMENT titles of course, but 100% pure nanpa titles--even though makes up the majority of their output--still may not be as popular as some of their other updates.
