From Clast:
The hikikomori almost never socialize with other people and prefer to spend their time in their bedrooms, completely locked away from the world … Avex is trying to reach these groups with a new DVD — part “corporate social responsibility,” part traditional content delivery, and part talent blog/model promotion. The DVD is called Miteiru dake (Just Looking), and it features various talent/models just staring straight ahead. That’s right, the models on the DVD do very little other than stare straight at the camera.
I can’t tell if the resulting video is creepy or hilarious, but the concept and its origin is fascinating. Thank God I’m anti-social instead of just shy.
