I went to a New Half bar over the weekend.

Another first in the life of me.

A new-half （ニューハーフ）, is a transsexual in Japanese. I have heard that the reason they are called “new-half” is that, in Japanese the term “half” (ハーフ） means someone who is half Japanese, and half foreigner (usually used for western halfs). The new-half, is halfway between the two genders.

Before the show, the hostesses sit around the tables with the customers. We had a chance to talk with Ruko（るこ）, and Yukino（雪乃）。

One of the new-halfs who work at this store goes to Nova for English lessons. Of course, since they are all professional transsexuals, she goes to Nova as a lady.

She says that no one can figure her out (見抜く）, except for one teacher there who is a homosexual. Apparently they have the sense to figure each other out.

The show was… hard-core? Total nudity. Very confusing.

In other gender news…

Hard Gay is still making a scene in Japan as well.
