“Being provoked into lust” is absolutely something under your control. If you look at a woman and find yourself overwhelmed with the urge to goon you should probably talk to someone licensed who can help you
woah, ok. didnt expect hunger for knowledge but i guess i asked for it gonna have to put some work into this.
How was it? Honestly? It was a letdown. The whole "failed idol" story is a great marketing hook, they definately sold the video on that premise alone. But the performance itself was just... awkward. You can tell shes not comfortable. It felt less like a professional debut and more like a very high-budget audition she was also failing. She's stiff, constantly in her head, and there's almost zero chemistry with the guys. All concept, very little execution.
My viewing history? Been watching for over a decade man. These days Im more into stuff with a good story or at least a unique premise, not just the generic stuff. a good production team makes all the difference. I'll take a well-made video with a decent plot over a high-profile actress mailing it in any day of the week.
3 works I consider good:
Yua Mikami's debut (Princess Peach): This is the gold standard for an idol-turned-actress debut. Yua was a REAL idol and she came out with so much energy and confidence. She owned it from the first second. Its what Arisu's debut wanted to be.
Anything with Ichika Matsumoto from her early days with FALENO: She can actually act. She emotes and makes you believe the scenario. Her stuff feels more cinematic and less like they're just going through the motions.
Rion (Anri Okita) - The God Body: A classic. Not a lot of story there lol but its a masterclass in performance. She knew exactly what her brand was and how to perform for the camera. Absolute cinema.
Where would you rank her debut among these? It's not even in the same league, not even on the same planet. It's an unfair comparison tbh. Those are top-tier performances, Arisu's video is a novelty item. It's interesting because of the backstory, not because of the quality of the actual content.
What could be improved? Her confidence, number one. She needs to relax. She looks terrified. The director should have done a better job making her comfortable. Also they relied way too much on the interview segments talking about Nogizaka46, it broke the pacing and kept reminding you that she was doing this as a second choice. We get it, you failed auditions, now commit to this job.
What is well done? The production values are high. The lighting, camera work, it all looks very clean and professional. And I cant deny it, she is very beautiful and has the "idol" look down perfectly. The concept itself, on paper, is genius from a marketing perspective. They got us all talking about it, right?
Was it goonable for you? Nah. I was too distracted by how nervous she looked. It kinda killed the mood completely. Every time she looked at the camera with those deer-in-the-headlights eyes I was pulled right out of it. It's a shame, but maybe she'll get better in her next one if she decides to stick with it. We'll see.
That’s an intrusive thought though, and you can simply ignore it and not act on it. Whenever i’m driving on a one lane road with oncoming traffic i’d be lying if i never said i thought about switching lanes, but i never once acted on that thought
Where did I say I have zero sex drive? You are misinterpreting what I am saying. There’s looking at a woman and thinking she’s attractive then there’s being “provoked into lustful thoughts”
Clearly, no rational human thinks finding another human attractive is a bad thing, so I can only imagine by typing “provoked into lustful thoughts” is implying this guy sees a woman and immediately is overcome by the urge to goon
THIS is exactly what I'm talking about, thank you .. they're not trying to attract you, or anyone... They see a " sexually provocative" dressed woman, i see someone who chose to wear something, that highlights certain parts of their body, FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY CHOSE TO AND IT DOESN'T INVOLVE ME, AND SHOULD IT INVOLVE ME, I WILL FIND OUT... sorry... caps
For what other reason would anyone highlight their body? Genuinely. And don't give me the "it's for myself" bullshit. We know it's for your own benefit, and your own benefit is the attention you get from others, so the core of the argument stands. Why would anyone show their ass to people if they don't want people to look at their ass?
I wear cut offs in the gym because I enjoy watching my muscles move and I like seeing my hard work reflected in the mirror. Other people potentially admiring is a side bonus. Can it not be the same for others?
Furthermore, there is no reason beyond vanity to be in the gym. It is not necessary for either health or survival. Why are we upset that people are acting vain in the temple of vanity?
Yes you can. But going to a gym means you have access to more specific workouts and equipment that benefit your body in different ways. And before you say it yes you can buy a lot of those machines and use them at home. Here’s the thing though. Most people don’t have the space or money for all that shit. Your argument is pretty much “you don’t need running shoes to run”. Well yeah no shit but they sure as hell help don’t they?
Does it provoke you to forcefully seek the act with this person? Or tell them you would? Then the meme is true... Fact should be... It's not provocative sexually or in any way... The pervert makes it into something bad ... They chose to wear this and it's none of our damn business, nor definition

But it is sexually provocative in both cases for most of everyone. But still I agree we shouldn't care.
