Hideki Matsui: P.I.M.P.

2003_12_pimping.jpg

Okay, who knows about the Yankees' prospects next year, what with crazy George alienating staffers and players alike. What New Yorkers can put their hopes in is U.S. distribution of this Hideki Matsui doll which has him in his big pimpin' gear. What is "fo' shizzle" in Kanji?

See an actual picture of Hideki in his pimp daddy clothes.

Japanese are total buy-ins to the whole Ghetto-rap-hip-hop image. I think they think it's exotic (maybe for there it is), and so it will sell.

It is a crack up to hear some J-rap group introduce themselves with "Douzo Yoroshiku" (please grant me favor). I am not sure that the ghetto teen of America is going to say, "please grant me favor".

It is taken in for image only---it's entertainment.
