Many Internet users are familiar with a phrase in Japanese that reads: “Yamete Kudasai (やめてください)“. While for the Japanese it is an expression to ask someone to stop doing something, for those in the West became a benchmark in the Japanese pornographic industrywhich covers hentai and JAV (Japanese Adult Video).
But why did this phrase commonly used in Japan become something erotic for the West? Well, it turns out that “Yamete Kudasai” is generally a phrase said by girls in adult stories, especially when they don’t want to allow someone to approach them and grope them.
However, what makes this phrase so recognizable is the tone and way in which it is pronounced, that is, in an anxious and acutely exaggerated way, so much so that it seems like a moan. Thus, “Yamete Kudasai” has become an Internet meme, even getting into joke videos by replacing the screams and making the user have to turn down the sound immediately so that others do not hear.
But where does this popular audio that originated it all come from? Unlike a simple image, it is extremely difficult to find the origin of an audio track. Most Internet users, however, agree that it comes from the first episode of the hentai anime “Toriko no Kusari: Shojo-tachi wo Yogosu Midara na Kusabi“, specifically at the 12:05 minute timestamp. While the audio doesn’t quite match the tone of the video, Some claim it was simply modified to make it more “attractive.”.
However, it is also possible that the audio comes from another source such as a JAV (Japanese Adult Video).but considering the immense amount of adult videos that exist on the Internet and taking into account that it is impossible to access and review all of them, well most decided to stay with the theory that the original audio comes from this hentai.
Anyway, now that you know that “Yamete Kudasai” is not a phrase exclusive to the adult industry in Japan, don’t laugh if you travel to Japan and hear someone say it in public. You must remember that it is a phrase that is quite commonly used in Japanese society, as it simply translates as “please stop.”
