While interviewing Tribal people in the Amazon in South America
our reporting director rubbed a dye on himself that is said to never come off
It turned him super black and since then he transformed into The Eggplant Director, a.k.a "Eggplant-D"
Let me take one last commemoration selfie while I'm still black
Watch as his skin finally turns back to normal!
Wait my hand's supposed to be on this side
You guys gotta tell me!
The Great Adventure of NAS-D
The Great Adventures of Eggplant-D Youtube Version
< The very late Santa Claus>
When I was a kid, Santa would pay me visit from time to time
and for some weird reason
I had a feeling that Santa would once again pay a visit while I was here in the Amazon.
Last year, on December 24th,
Jorge gave me Paneton and Chocolate drinks.
But I was too caught up with other stuff to enjoy it
Today, Jorge saw I was tired
and once again brought me Paneton and chocolate drinks
It was so good!
While I was eating, the women of the town began to gather
and one pregnant woman asked,
"Do you want to get that black stuff off your face?"
At this point I no longer cared about getting it off. But I was tempted by the offer.
I said "yes", although doubtful about whether it would actually come off
She prepared some detergent, bleach, and alcohol
and said, "It'll probably come off"
Then there was a long scrubbing process
....and a lot of it came off.
I was told it would continue the next day
It seems I got a late visit from Santa Claus this year.
I am really happy.
...but at the same time, I am sad.
I worked really hard when I was black.
I had to work hard, because apprearance-wise, I had a disadvantage
I became closer with the local people, and they took care of me.
I now realize it was a time when I was helped by everyone.
Today I turned from a pitch-black "Japon Black"
to a regular, boring guy
Goodbye, "Japon Black". And thank you to everyone.
All that remained were the memories of the experiences I had when I was black, and a feeling of gratitude.
and that is enough for me.
Now that I no longer look funny, I actually have to work to be funny
Hmm....should I just paint the Wito back on?
So inside a high schooler's back-pack...
there are 2 squirrel monkeys..
Here in this town, you will find monkeys
in the backpack of a high schooler.
In Japan, the most you'll find are like, iPhones or iPads
Oh hey, it's JB again!
Yes
Your face is so much clearner now!
There's a plate of Carachama
We're having a squirrel monkey for dinner today
I love animals
and my nick name in kindergarten was "The Animal Professor"
My dream at the time was to have a monkey as a pet.
But instead of adopting one as a pet
......I'm about to eat one right now.
So I guess this kind of means
that my dream came true....? It's hard to say
You haven't even played with the monkey
Not at all
....I just saw a super-bloody monkey.
It looks like parts of a plastic action figure
When I was in elementary school I wanted action figures so badly
When I was in the 3rd grade I went to an action figure store
and continued to go there until I was in the 6th grade
Every day.
I brought a notebook with me
and I would write down the number of figures.
I would write: "One Dom"
"One Zaku"
"One Gundam"
Oh hey!! They got one Guncannon (*writes*)
and they got a Gyan figure too! (*writes*)
and then I'd go back the next day
and I'd do the same thing
This went on for 3 years
and do you know what I was told when I became a sixth grader?
The clerk said to me,
BUY SOMETHING, KID
As a kid, it was pretty hurtful
It was traumatizing
By the 6th day of reporting here. Eggplant has become close with the local people. The girls come and tease him
They're looking at my hand
Hey, don't do that
This is "Wasasui" (cooked monkey flavored with salt)
This dish is called "Wasasui"
Here it comes...
Whoooaaa
It looks like chicken
Man that's hot!
Do you all like the monkey?
Yes, we love it.
How will it smell?
It smells like dried bonito
...Huh?
As a way of showing respect to the monkeyhis
that's too hot!
Eggplant takes a huge bite from the freshly cooked monkey
Mmm
That is good!
Yappari ("As I thought" ),
Yappari
Yes that's right, "Yappari"
It has the texture of a chicken
There's no fat and lots of muscle
Wow
It's like fat-less beef
I love this!
It's easy to eat and It's delicious
Kikinshamanui (Delicious)
Kikinshamanuu
Kikinshamanui (Delicious)
Kikinshamanuu Kikinshamanui (Delicious)
I can totally eat this
I can have even more of this . It's delicious.
Let me take a bit of the ankle
So good
I bet this tastes so differently from how you imagine it
I want to let people know how this tastes
because you can't eat monkey in Japan
Right then
Bananas and monkeys.....
Oh no!!!
That bird took my monkey's hand!!
That little rascal
Bad bird!
Give it back!
So when you take beef
and preserve it in salt water for 24 hours
then smoke the beef for an hour,
then leave it out to dry for a couple of days,
...you can make beef jerkey
The most commonly eaten beef jerky is made by leaving the beef out to dry for 30 days
But jerkey is the most delicious
when it's only left out to dry for about 3 days.
...because the meat is half raw.
This monkey tastes like half-raw smoked jerkey
and it's delicious
Whoa that's a shotgun bullet
Look
This is different from say...
finding a fish-hook inside of a red snapper.
This is biting into a monkey
and finding a bullet inside.
Dangerous, huh?
Eggplant takes a bite of banana
Mmm
The monkey and banana go great together
...why wouldn't they, I mean, monkeys eat bananas.
I didn't think monkey meat was this good. I thought it would be more smelly
Oh really? I didn't think monkey meat was this good. I thought it would be more smelly
Would you like more?
This is the tastiest part of the monkey
Check it out....
a whole entire monkey!
Right?
How do you eat it?
You have to take off the head.
I just realized something
Monkeys are super easy to hold if you hold them by the head
It's like holding a doorknob
Can I eat this part?
Yes
Of course
Eggplant gobbles away at the head with no mercy
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm
It has that "head taste"
It tastes different from the other parts
Mm-hmm
This footage probably won't be aired. But this is good
This will be a good memory
You can eat the entire head
Then...
Whoaaaa
How will the eyeballs taste?
They taste like tapioca
Tapioca
Yes.........tapioca.
Squirrel monkeys taste better than white monkeys
Monkey's brains are nutritious and are the tasitest part
It's the most popular part
Mmm
mmm
Is it good ?
Yes Is it good?
It tastes like shirako (soft roe)
Oh really? It tastes like shirako (soft roe)
The right hand is squeezed
See?
You've probably seen a bear's hand before, but have you ever seen a monkey's hand?
Parunote?
Sarunote ("Monkey's Hand" in Japanese)
Sarunote
Sarunote
Parunote?
No no, not "Parunote"
Sarunote
Sarunote
Yes
Parunote
No, no not "Parunote." It's Sarunote

Yes Sarunote

Many parts of the monkey are edible, although the meat is tough
While savouring its taste, Eggplant finishes eating the monkey in an hour
Salt-flavored monkey, with a side of banana I ate half of a monkey
Eggplant and U-ji Koji have been interviewing the natives of the Amazon
Here we would like to introduce the staple foods eaten by these people
First - potatoes.
The native people of the Amazon eat a type of potato called "Yuca"
Yuca can be grown in barren land
There's many ways to prepare them such as boiling and cooking
The Shipibo Tribe enjoy eating Fallina, which is made by finely grinding Yuca, then drying it
It can be eaten without cooking. It's also sprinkled into soup.
A staple food of the Bora Tribe is "Kasabe," made by grinding Yuca,mixing it with flour, then spreading out this mixture thinly and cooking it
The Awafun Tribe drink an alcoholic drink called "Masato" made by boiling and fermenting Yuca
Yuca is a staple food for 8 billion people in the world, including those who live in regions outside of South America, like Africa
In Japan, there are restrictions against importing raw Yuca
but people enjoy tapioca, which is made from the starch from the bulb of the Yuca
In the Amazon, fried tapioca are enjoyed as snacks
Yucas are the 2nd most grown potatoes in the world
Following regular potatoes
Regular potatoes have a long history. People began growing them in 500 A.D.
They are a Solanaceae plant, which is the same type of plant as an eggplant
Currently there are more than 3000 types of potatoes
Some rare types of potatoes include the purple "Shadow Queen"
and the "Destroyer," which look like masked wrestlers
Moving onto the 2nd staple food - Corn.
Corn originated somwhere between 5500 to 7500 years ago
LIkely places of origin include regions near Central and South America, such as Mexico and Bolivia
there are various types of corn in Central and South America.
One is "Giant corn" - white corn whose pieces are 2 times the size of regular corn
Giant corn is enjoyed in Japan too, as finger food
but they can only be grown in an area in Peru 3000 meters above sea level
If they are grown anywhere outside of this area, the corn pieces will not become as big
These are purple corn
They are mainly used to make drinks
Chicha Morada, a national juice of Peru, is made by stewing purple corn in juice, then adding sugar and fruit juice
Then there is the "Rainbow Corn," known as the most beautiful corn in the world
Rainbow corn is edible and made from crossing different types of corn
The seeds can be purchased online
Finally - the 3rd staple food of the Amazon :
Bananas.
Bananas originated somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 years ago
Bananas were originally full of seeds
But from a sudden change, seedless bananas were born.
There are 2 types - ones that can be eaten raw, and ones used for cooking
The native people of the Amazon eat the type used for cooking which are called "Plantains"
Plantains are hard and have a core. They cannot be eaten unless they're cooked
but they are full of dietary fiber and starch
They are a staple food in South America
When they're green and not yet ripe, they are usually boiled, cooked, or fried
When they're a bit ripe, the Plantainws become sticky. When mashed, fried, and mixed with lard, it becomes a dish called "Takacho"
When they're completely ripe, they are sliced and fried in oil and made into banana chips
Banana leaves are used for various purposes in regions where bananas are grown
They're used in a dish called Juane, which is steamed rice wrapped in banana leaves
and also for a dish called Patarashka Also,
in towns in the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea
Banana leaves are used at weddings and funerals
Banana leaves are placed over wooden boards on which Geometric patterns are carved. They are scrubbed from above so the pattern can be copied on the leaves
Then the people use the leaves for shopping
So it's time for Part 2 of the bleaching
Time to get rid of the Wito for good
Everything will
eventually come to an end
Then there's a beginning to everything.
I'm going to take a commemoration selfie before this all comes off
Oh no my hand's supposed to be on this side
Again, she pours in the detergent....
then adds some bleach
Once again Eggplant dunks his whole face in
First Eggplant dips his face into a mixture of detergent and bleach for 10 minutes
then he is scrubbed with alcohol
Just scrub me as if I'm a dirty car
She's even cleaning my ears
Don't even think I'm a human being
Oh really?
Think of me as an old, rusty car
Oh no my neck...check out this crazy angle
They clean me with detergent and bleach, then rub me with alcohol as a finishing touch
Man, I feel so fresh! I'm going to try this at home
Should I dip my face in once more?
Sure
Here I go
They're directly rubbing bleach on you with a towel
That's fine. It's as if she's washing my soul too. They're directly rubbing bleach on you with a towel
The women of the Shipibo Tribe are earnest
They're finishing me off so cleanly
Is this how you always get "Wito" off?
Yes
We don't dip our faces into the bleach, though
I haven't bathed for a while
so they're scrubbing the filth off of me too
This is some thorough work
They're taking it all off
Look at me I'm like a monk
Souge?
Souryo (Monk) Souge?
So...so... Souryo
Souge So...so... Souryo
She's pregnant right now...
The pregnant woman says something surprising
So your name was...Tomoyo.....
Tomoyori So your name was...Tomoyo.....
Tomoyori Tomoyori
I'm going to name my baby Tomoyori
Really? You're lying
Your baby will be super black
Tomoyori
Tomoyori Tomoyori
Tomoyori Tomoyori Tomoyori
Tomoyori
Tomoyori
It means "attracting many friends"
That's beautiful. I like that name.
That's the literal translation.
My dad taught me
I don't really attract friends, though....
I don't have any friends
Don't translate that.
I don't have any friends
Can you come back in a year?
Sure Can you come back in a year?
I'll come back.
By then I should have a child with the same name as you. Please come visit him.
Also, the next time you visit
we'll rub achiote (a type of spice) on you instead of Wito
Let's do it
The women continue to scrub Eggplant as if he were a dirty old car
I took your boogers out while I was at it
The women had cleaned Eggplant for free and he was not charged a single cent.
Looking back, I'm glad this all happened
None of it was a waste
I'm glad it happened.
If any of you ever accidentally rub Wito on your skin
Grab some detergent, bleach, and alcohol.
Then scrub hard. REALLY hard.
It's going to hurt but you're just going to have to bear it
Then it'll come off.
You know how the women of the Shipibo Tribe weave very intricately?
They work really hard, right?
I've realized that their work is very detailed
There's something else I learned about these women -
They're very strong.
They may not look strong
but they scrub hard, and when they bend my neck....
When this woman over here put me in a headlock
I thought my head would fall off
They have immense strength
Doesn't that hurt?
It hurts a lot.
This woman here....
is scrubbing so hard
and she's getting so much off
Oh really? and she's getting so much off
Oh really? Really. Really.
This goes to show you that the women of the Shipibo Tribe are earnest workers.
It's all very careful.
....the work that they do
And it's detailed
Agreed. And it's detailed
That's why they're able to do such intricate weaving
Eggplant has learned firsthand how carefully the women of the Shipibo Tribe work
Lastly the women rub undiluted bleach directly onto Eggplant
I'm about the only person who can take this
The women pour bleach onto cloths and scrub with all their might
Even after scrubbing for over 3 hours
they do not slow down.
They cleaned it off good
Amazing stuff
They cleaned it off well
It smells like when someone's cleaning a toilet
They're directly....
They're directly rubbing the bleach on me
This is definitely the stuff you use when you clean toilets
I think I'm good now
I think that's enough, ladies
I think that's enough
You don't have to take it all off
You can stop if you want...
Your ears have become super-red!
Does it hurt?
I'm gonna be honest - this is 100 times more painful than you think it is
Oh really?
It's fine though. As long as they can get it off
I feel like you're gonna start bleeding
That's true
Oh well. I did this to myself
You can stop now ladies
You're telling them to stop?
It's think it's kind of late...
to tell them to stop
I think that's enough
She's scrubbing so frantically
She trying to get it all off
She's not going to stop till it all comes off
These women are amazing
She wants you to be patient
They are amazing, professionals
Yes.... They are amazing, professionals
I feel like I'm at one of those shops that offers these types of services
Don't translate that, Jorge but..
This totally hurts
This pain is actually kind of unbearable
Remember the day I rubbed the Wito on? and I got a fever?
Right now, it's burning even more than that
After 4 hours, Part 2 of the bleaching process comes to an end
Eggplant receives a gift from the pregnant woman who scrubbed him for 2 days straight
She did all this work for me and she's giving me a gift?
These people are so different from the Bora Tribe
I have a pretty high pain threshold
but this actually hurts a lot, so much that I want to scream.
It's like getting your teeth pulled out without anesthesia
I really thought my ear would fall off
It seems like it feels good though
It totally hurts. man.
It burns
I never say "ow that hurts" out loud
but I said it once while they were scrubbing
When I was telling the women "that's enough," it was because it really, really hurt
I thought all my eyebrow hairs would get pulled out
which I was okay with, because eyebrows grow back
but as for my ear - I was seriously worried it would fall off
So you were holding in the pain
Yes I was
At the the very end
I actually thought they would pull my ear off
I'm pretty good at sensing danger
Like...I can sense when the atmosphere is dangerous
When we were attacked by the Awafun tribe, I honestly did not sense danger
I was just confused. I didn't know what was going on.
But this time, I actually sensed danger
I mean...your ears are so red
Don't I smell like a toilet?
Doesn't it smell like when someone is cleaning a toilet ?
I now know what a toilet feels like
when the yellow spots are being scrubbed off
What's interesting is, I can't get the black stuff off when I try myself.
I'm scrubbing so hard, to the point where it hurts
but I can't get it off
So, hats off to the women of the Shipibo Tribe. They're amazing
and they gave me a necklace
This is a gift from their hearts
The Bora Tribe would be charging me 70 sol ( $21.39) for this
These women really wanted to help me get the black off
....and I felt that. It made me happy
See, I scrubbed really hard and tried to get it off myself.
but it hurts so much. I can't scrub anymore
I think this is the best I can do for my legs
It is finally the day of Eggplant's exorcism.
