Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. Love Hotels, once a prominent realm of eroticism and intimacy for the Japanese Community, fell into massive decline the past few years. We take a look at how this interesting industry was formed and how its change impacted the Japanese community. When I make it out to Japan, these are one of the types of places I want to visit!

0:00.0	What do bondage,
0:05.0	bondage, Hello Kitty, and The Little Mermaid all have in common?
0:09.0	Well, they're all features of a room you'd least expect, the bedroom.
0:15.0	Most people need a place where they can get busy and spend some quality time with a person they care about.
0:21.0	Not too long ago, Japan offered a plethora of love hotels to facilitate, you know, steamy activities.
0:28.0	Most of them are gone in the functional sense, but how did they come into prominence? Why did they fall? And why could that possibly be a
0:36.1	concern for the people of Japan? Hello and today we're going to take an in-depth look at love hotels.

1:37.4	in advance I am clearly not a natural Japanese speaker. Let's play set.
1:45.9	The designer, how did this happen?
