first time to what eric clapton and pete townsend must have gone through, the reigning guitar gods of england. what they must have gone through the week that jimihendrix came to town. you hear about it. you go see it. a whole window opens up into a whole new thing. and you think, what does this mean? what do i have left to say? what do i do now? >> welcome to tokyo. you are not invited. this is the other tokyo. 12-hour flight and i'm baked.

joplin, david bowie, some of the greatest productions ever in the history -- this was the greatest show i've ever seen in my life. it had it all. it was the greatest show in the history of entertainment. i don't understand it. i'm completely confused. there's like 100 people working on that show. millions of dollars worth of like robots and technology. how do they make money? >> well, one thing for sure about it there are quite a love lot of businesses unspoken but covered by the yakuse? >> that's the fraternal organization prominent in the international and business districts who is said to help

these. porn shops and sex clubs along with other ancillary services. but how much actual boning is going on in the sex district? generally speaking, it's more a field of dreams than the actual act of sex. hostess cafes, for instance, where a lonely overworked salary man can find the attention of cute, seemingly adoring girl whose find their every utterance fascinatin fascinating. >> so now hostess bar is i just want somebody to tell me i'm fantastic. you're so interesting. your job is interesting. you are a very sexy man. i don't care what your wife says. i think you're really interesting? >> yeah yeah yeah. >> penetration maybe by a q tip in the ear followed by a personal love spell in this case to make your tea taste better.

>> what is this place? what's happening here? >> oh, this is the -- >> are these boys? >> young boy host clubs not for men but for middle-aged ladies who are bored with the regular housewives life. >> a million guys wandering here looking to -- a bunch of bored middle-aged housewives coming in here. >> spending quite a lot of money. >> why don't they go to the same club and somebody will actually have sex? >> poem don't like getting rejected. so they sort of like pay for their pleasure. they make you feel welcome. maybe you can feel like i'm not that bad after talking to those girls or boys. >> that's the saddest thing i've ever heard. that's heart-breaking, dude. is the business of jujugu dreams? >> it is more for the dream of dreams which is never going to happen. >> really? all of this?

it is a very enticing situation. look at this. wait a minute. she looks like she really likes me. look she's got her tongue tucked up in the corner of her mouth. >> which one? that's a boy, though. >> oh. whatever. >> golden god. long my favorite place to drink in tokyo. hundreds of micro-sized bars each different from the other with their own microcraft. i love it here. >> actually i've never been here before. maybe i have. i don't know. this place is one of masa's favorites. bar albatross. strong drink, the definition of a whole in the wall.

in japan there is a very old, very deep and very rich tradition of martial arts. many styles, many schools. this man kengi is a legend having trained generations of fighters using a simple and effective philosophy that has some real application to our story. >> there it is, pasted on the wall behind the ring. one, speed. two, timing. three, distance. the same idea applies to the convention-shunning sushi techniques of new york city legend malmici hiasura. until recently the chef partner of one of the best if not the best sushi restaurant in new york, the eponymous sushi

yeshuda. recently he left the manhattan restaurant which still bears his name and at age 52 moved to tokyo to start all over again. i was determined to track him down and see what the hell he was doing. these days, this great man is running a 14-seat sushi bar in the manado district of tokyo. his wife naomi is his only helper. >> welcome to my place. thank you for coming. >> why did you do such a hard thing? >> this city, tokyo, this is kind of the mecca of the sushi. so i just want to be the sushi chef in tokyo. >> yasuda is a friend. and my master in the sense that he's taught me pretty much everything i know about sushi over the years.

he's a very, very interesting and complex man who constantly surprises. >> this is the most expensive wasabe. so i wait wait wait. finally this goes to the discounted box. then i bought these. >> it's very french of you. [ laughter ] >> so many things separate yasuda-san from other japanese sushi masters. the most noticeable is his hand. they're huge. look at the knuckle, enormous from years of pounding cement walls during repeated daily practice in karate. he first trained and competed in tokyo. when he came to new york, he continued to practice. often in underground, bare-knuckled matches you fight until someone gets beat tonight

ground. this style yasuda practiced was about beating your opponent as quickly and as aggressively as possible. speed, every second is important. rice is getting cold, seaweed is getting soggy, fish less than perfect temperature. look at his posture, a fighter's stance. distance, knowing the perfect spot to be. moving in and out as needed. never out of position. timing. reacting to his customer's pace of eating. their ever-changing desires. always ready for the next move. >> most people who don't understand sushi who go to a sushi bar and say oh, i had the best sushi last night. the fish was so fresh it was right out of the ocean. >> fish is fish. there's no taste. just chewing just hot. and people think fresher should be good. but it wasn't. >> yasuda's menu changes

constantly with what he finds in the market. and like thousands of other sushi chefs, he heads every day to tokyo's central fish market where nearly 3,000 tons of the world's best seafood arrives every day. but unlike most others at his level who arrive at 4:00 a.m. to cream off what they perceive as the best and freshest, yasuda-san arrives later. he does not buy the ridiculously expensive otoro, the fatty belly of the tuna that people have been known to pay hundreds of dollars a pound for. instead he buys tunas from the heads, using his knife skills to go for qualities that most others miss, removing every bit of sinew from what would otherwise be a difficult piece of meat. in total it's well, perfect. and he cures the results. actually cures it, breaking down its molecular structure in a desirable way by freezing it quickly in a medical grade blast

freezer where it will stay for a week or longer at minus 82 degrees celsius. he pioneered this technique years ago in new york where if you bothered to ask he would have proudly told you that the absolutely unbelievably sublime piece of perfect sushi you were eating was frozen. >> delicious. >> thank you very much. >> which is more important, the rice or the fish? or what percentage? >> rice. >> rice more important? >> about 90%. >> wow. >> fish is the second ingredient. the main ingredient is rice. so my sushi is rice. >> yasuda still trains, though his fighting days are over. he says he was tired of hurting people. he brings me to kamiyo dojo to show me how his sushi technique

and karate are one and the same. >> the master. >> nice. >> many other people ask me what's between the karate and the sushi? but this movement is so much good for when i make sushi. because of the stance. the other different type of karate, the stance is a little bit more upper. so this karate stance ace little bit more deep.

this. so standing in front of the cutting board, a little bit of the deep stance and movement, deep stance and the body do this and watch from the left to the right. move this, move this. what's this and what's this. this is the key. so this karate is my sushi moves. >> now, in an official tournament, two-minute rounds. >> two-minute round. >> the result you're looking for is points. >> points or a knockdown.

but two-minute fight or one-minute fight. that's most hardest. >> it's underground. you can just work on their legs for five, seven minutes to slow them down. then you go in. >> yes. and no compromise. just do it. whatever happens, no excuse. you see the results good or not. if it's bad, try again. don't give up. >> right. >> this is my sushi. >> perfect. ♪

in america, where i come from, we are told at a version age to put aside childish things, the action figures, dolls, are creatures of our imagination. to arm ourselves for the brutal realities of the real world,

real combat, real sex. in japan, increasing numbers of people don't. they continue to live a life inside four walls, inside their mind, the life we call the computer geek, the nerd, as avatars. there's a name for them. a whole sub culture of what's called otakwe. once a dericive term, now a proud identifier of the geek, one who has turned his back on the real world to find satisfaction elsewhere. comic books hold a different place in the cultural landscape here and address different needs. there's yawe, for example, otherwise known as boys love manga. extremely popular with teenage girls. stories change, but the core themes are sexually ambiguous boys getting very friendly with each other. what leiges of young girls and soccer moms find compelling in the thousands of these titles is something of a mystery to outsiders looking in but there

they are. whole sections of manga book shops dedicated to basically one direction type boy band figures having sex with each other. yawe isn't generally explicit, though it can be. some of the most popular manga are, however. lurid, over the top, illustrated stories of incredible violence, rape, murder, and sexual fetishes. toshiyo is an manga creator like few others. the father of what could only be described as tentacle porn. his 1986 manga was about half human, half beastial space invadesers in search of an evil supreme being. it contained unbelievably graphic, lurid, violent, and one would argue offensive images of sex acts involving not sexual other bans but other

protuberances. it became a huge hit that has been imitated widely in other manga and in live action films. a whole genre of lurid but extraordinarily well-drawn madness. toshiyo tries to explain. >> this girl seems like a high school girl. so basically, it's forbidden. >> notice, by the way, the distinguished owner and her complete lack of shock or offense at the graphic, frankly horrifying images of rape, violation and murder spread casually across the table for all to see. japanese manga, ones that everyone reads on the subway home even, well, they're different. >> the big breakthrough was you couldn't draw penises. you couldn't draw specifically orifices. you couldn't actually show humans penetrating each other. >> in japan.

>> right. >> it was a big no no. so i invent tentacles to be evasive about the law. >> also demons. >> demons. yes. >> that's fantastic. whether you meant to at the time, you absolutely changed the world of manga, you created an entire spectrum of pornography that didn't exist before. i mean, if you go to youtube now there is tentacle manga. and tentacle and demon manga. there is tentacle and demon anim anime. >> that looks good. >> for dinner there's kastuo, arranged in bite-sized pieces garnished with fresh greens, sprouts and -- toshiyo comes here often for the tomato nave,

commonly popular with sumo wrestlers as a weight gain diet. basically it's a hot pot of meat and vegetables. chicken, pork, beef, fish balls keep getting fed into the pot. usually alongside much beer and rice. adding that much-needed bulk up factor so important to sumo wrestlers and cable tv hosts. >> so appealing to the hidden desires of a manga-buying audience, men want filthier, dirtier, more violent? >> in japan, you can't be rude in public. >> right. >> but you need to just, you know, i can say that letting off steam. so probably the manga is the one way to do that. >> what do women want, generally speaking what do women want in manga? >> boys love. because probably don't have enough experience to do that

with real men. >> but nobody's going to the fish market and asking for live octopus. [ laughter ] >> probably not. >> probably not. ation -- an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin,

there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine.

ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

the pop music scene in tokyo is not that different than ours. with an accent though on pretty boy bands, pop idols, tween stars, generic, industry-created crap for the most part. like i said, not so different than us. picture an army of miley cyruss, or would that be miley cyri. going against the grain are a few lone heroes like virgin moon. self-released albums and no hint of a record deal. damn suits, what do they know? lead singer yu, sweet, shy, pop friendly lilleth fair? no. ♪
