Gaijin-in-JapanBlogging direct from Kobe, Japan
Gaijin isn't a bad word. There just isn't any
other word to describe us. And besides, I'm different and I like it that way. Why else would I decide to leave San Francisco and live here forever? So that I can eat good food? Maybe. |

I finally decided to make a posting about this after reading paragraphs written by my students about their summer vacation. Many of them belong to a sports team and had to attend camps. Billy’s Bootcamp was mentioned over and over again. My junior high and high school students said the same. Everyday these kids are working out with this big black buff stud and his white daughter (”half” as they would say here). Interesting to say the least. I guess it’s better than doing those typical PE exercises and running…just a hell of a lot harder. Do you think you could do two hours of Billy and a full day of training, then go to school in the evening? That’s what some of my students did this Summer.

I hope Billy enjoys his 15 minutes of fame in Japan, because it will end soon when someone else more exciting comes on the scene.

I don’t know about the fifteen minutes. I’m thinking at least 5 to 7 years. If the coaches on sports teams are using you can be sure it will take them at least three years to recoup the money spent on buying the videos. Plus it’s a no-brainer for them to teach.

In that case, it sounds like Billy’s marketing people did a good job. Nothing like royalties.. You must be logged in to post a comment. |

Unbelievable! This guy is taking Japan. It’s EVERYWHERE. BILLY BILLY. He has caused an exercise revolution in comparison to Jane Fonda’s exercise videos back in the 80’s. Here we see Billy taking over with not only the housewife group but also with sports teams and school clubs.
