Last year, we reported on the berating talents of model and TV personality Risa Yoshiki in her series "I Want Risa Yoshiki to be Angry at Me" on TV Tokyo. In the series of short videos, Yoshiki unleashes a non-stop tirade of insults and complaints at you the viewer.
Now she’s back and with many graduates just entering the workforce this season, she has a new series titled "For New Employees: I Want Risa Yoshiki to be Angry at Me." In it she brings many tidings such as “YOU'RE WORTHLESS, YOU SUCK AS A MEMBER OF SOCIETY.”
■ Insults of highly effective people
This series aired on TV Tokyo from April 22 to 24 sometime after midnight. It’s not really explained in detail, but from the title I guess the series is intended to have new workers get scared straight in the comfort of their own home by a pretty woman, rather than a sweaty old man with coffee-breath in an office full of onlookers.
I’m not sure if it’s effective at that goal…and probably neither are the other viewers nor producers of "I Want Risa Yoshiki to be Angry at Me." Anyway, here’s a taste.
Even if you don’t speak Japanese, you can probably get the sense of it. Some of Risa Yoshiki’s barbs include:
“Shut up and get your s**t straight!”
“Don’t lie to me, you bag of fresh garbage!”
“Enjoy all this reasonably priced and plain tasting food in silence, douche!”
“I’ll lay this Setouchi lemon sauce out all over your face!”
The three episodes each cover a situation where someone fresh out of college and entering the corporate world might mess up. In the first episode Yoshiki chews out a boyfriend who made the mistake of going on a beach holiday in a business suit. She then lays into a new employee who gets caught trying to manipulate his way up the corporate ladder.
In the third and final installment Risa lets a newly employed boyfriend have it when he tries to take her to a cheap chain restaurant and pass it off as his “special place”.
Like in past seasons of "I Want Risa Yoshiki to be Angry at Me," after her five-minute tirades something usually happens to change her mind and she leaves you with a happy message like “I love you”. It’s kind of like when a comic spends five minutes making fun of your outfit and then at the end tells you, “Naw I’m kidding, you’re alright!”
"I Want Risa Yoshiki to be Angry at Me" special edition DVD is available on Rakuten.

That face! Love it!

Dumb...

She looks just like my Japanese wife in one of her almost daily tirades/meltdowns aimed toward me and/or the kids. Scathing, no holds barred.
This is meant to be comedy, but possibly because it is painfully accurate. At any rate, it sends chills down my spine.

Someone stuff a doughnut in her pie-hole.
jokamachi
Terrifying.
Black Sabbath
I hope she's acting....

There goes Japan's media again. Telling the masses how to think, feel and eat their "obento" in silence.
She scolds a new employee trying to manipulate the corporate latter. Nothing wrong with a little initiative and change every once in a while.
FernGully
Imagine if she did this with politics in Japan.
DaDude
How many wives do you have?
Dennis711
Ahhh...I like it... it gives me a funny feeling somewhere. Can I keep her?
onagagamo
Usual childish nonsense to stop people from thinking about the real issues of the day.
ebisen
I must have missed this new fetish trend...
Austin Huang
I don't believe she's an object or a pet...
Wc626
Right. She's a puppet. The media's tool. They sell it. You live the role. Pathetic!!
wtfjapan
i dont condone violence on any female, but women like this need a good swift slap to knock some sense into them, if that doesnt work there always a frontal lobotomy.
FizzBit
Maybe she should have visited the Lincoln Memorial with Abe and Obama.
gaijinfo
She reminds me of those horrible actresses in those even horribler melodramas.
AlexCook
Someone shut the hole in her face.
Wakarimasen
Standard Japanese management technique. Yell.
maitai62
Damn! She better chill before she has a stroke...
ebisen
OK, I'm lost. So what's the deal here, can I spank he once she's finished, or what? Someone please enlighten me!

HOT AIR, Just like my Japanese wife when she has here weekly go at me last about 1 minute until i yell her down and get her to shut up. Had the same thing with drunk g gs its always/so far just been for show as soon as you show you can also yell and with a better argument there bubble bursts and they crawl back into the corner sulking, noise noise noise.

With her sexy legs and lovely features, I bet a lot of men would find her very attractive.
Maybe she has a very nice make-up and kiss gently routine after she is done with yelling at her men and making them cower to her every wish.
sf2k
isn't this only half the dominatrix role?
A.N. Other
If I were married to this woman and she spoke to me like that, I'd put her over my knees and paddle her behind.
clamenza
Either that or you would sulk in the corner like a child. Im guessing the latter.

I bet there was a lot of laughing and retakes during the production of that video.

Many interesting things about Risa Yoshiki from wikipedia, but this quote was... charming:
"Idol commentator Hideo Horikoshi attributes her success to the contrast of her genuine beauty, of the kind not usually found in glamour models, with a willingness to pose for pictures including crotch shots, cosplay, and bondage poses."
From cameras taking her crotch shots to her giving men verbal crotch shots. I'd say that's a score for Women's Rights.
MarkX
And people still wonder why there is so much bullying going on in Japan! With stuff like this and the crap manzai comedians on TV always hitting and slapping the stupid one, no wonder kids do the same thing!
DaDude
Man, get a room!
harvey pekar
I don't know, I think everyone is missing the point. Is it possible this is just a comedy? I know sarcasm is a Western style for the most part, but I think the writers were writing from their own experiences, and this is a cathartic production.
I think it's funny. And Risa Yoshiki is just playing the part she was given and she does it well.
What isn't funny are these extremely sexist, misogynistic comments like: "If I were married to this woman and she spoke to me like that, I'd put her over my knees and paddle her behind." "Someone stuff a doughnut in her pie-hole." "i dont condone violence on any female, but women like this need a good swift slap to knock some sense into them, if that doesnt work there always a frontal lobotomy." "Someone shut the hole in her face." "HOT AIR, Just like my Japanese wife when she has here weekly go at me last about 1 minute until i yell her down and get her to shut up."
I can't believe anyone finds these comments intelligent or humorous. If you don't like her video, realize this is how men have been talking to women for generations and have gotten away with it.

I wish they advertised this better, because for five minutes at 0130 in the morning it is pretty funny.
I hope she makes another series.
smithinjapan
Well, this is the land of 'tarento'.
Serrano
I like how she's suddenly so nice at the end of the video, ha ha
ShyDingo
“Shut up and get your s**t straight!”
You know what, she's right, I do need to get my s**t straight. Thankyou for sorting me out Risa! (lol).

YOSHIKI, RISA. What say you now?
Can you elaborate on Japan's approch to the Silicone Valley episode, where Abe is in "awe" of their feats. Hmm? What say you- ?
Frederic Bastiat
Harvey Pecher, if it were a male shouting like her, I'd say to stuff a sock in his pie hole as well. Is that mysandry to you?
Wolfpack
She seems sweet.
roosterman77
She's gorgeous.

"OK, I'm lost. So what's the deal here, can I spank her once she's finished, or what?"
You sure are lost, she's going to spank you, and you're going to love it, ha ha!
