- Hello.
(upbeat music)
- Very few people actually know what zentai is.
I am a very unique aspect of the small community
of people in the world largely.
Who wear zentai suits which are these full body
spandex outfits that cover you from head to foot.
I'm anonymous but at the same I'm drawing
attention to myself.
If you grew up that very, very, very shy kid,
never talks to anybody, never makes friends,
that kind of thing.
It works perfectly.
Most of the time I go out, the response is very good.
- I had never heard of zentai.
I kinda thought this was a joke.
A part of me still thinks that you made this up.
- I have not heard of zentai dating, no,
not before this.
It's interesting.
- I think that a lot people maybe close themselves off
to people they would be potentially good at dating
just because of a perceived
disinterest physically.
So this may...
who the fuck knows.
- Who knows, maybe I'll want to do this all the time.
Maybe it'll become one of my favorite ways
to hang out with people.
- I'm under the persuasion of I'll try anything once.
- Nice.
(laughing)
- This is stupid.
- (laughing) He's holding a tool chest.
- I don't like, I mean, is that too much for a first date?
To wear a tuxedo?
- See through them, drink in them, party in them.
Let's do it.
- Hello.
(Colleen laughing)
- Hello.
- You look so nice.
- I'm Zach, nice to meet you.
- Colleen, nice to meet you.
- I'm afraid I overdressed, I'm not sure.
- Oh, no, it's perfect for this place.
Maybe I underdressed.
- I would offer to pour some wine
but I'm afraid I would spill it every where.
- You're kinda scaring me.
Yours is a little scary.
- Why?
Why'd you give me a scary one, man?
(Colleen laughing)
You told me this was a good look.
- No, I'm just kidding, you look great.
- So nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
- Is this your first zentai experience?
- This is my first zentai experience.
- I kinda like this suit, it's very breathable.
- Yeah, and I feel like I could do a lot of moves, dances.
- Yeah, it's very aerodynamic.
- Are you wearing anything under that?
- Ah, yes, but--
- (laughing) Is that too personal?
- Not as much as maybe I should be.
I got on underwear on.
- [Colleen] Okay.
- And I got socks on, I forgot to take them off.
- You have socks on?
(Colleen laughing) - [Zach] I forgot to take them
off, it just didn't occur to me.
Cheers to Zentai.
- To Zentai.
- I had a brief moment out back there before I came over.
I'm like, I could choose any voice I want.
(Colleen laughing)
- That's true.
- I feel like that's maybe part of the appeal
like who like you can be whoever you want.
- Yes.
- [Zach] When you're in this.
- I could've been British the whole entire time.
- You could've been and I wouldn't have known.
- Aw, dang it!
- What a blown opportunity.
- I could've made a whole, whole different life
for myself.
It was my chance to start anew.
- I imagine people who do this a lot,
yeah, you get to like choose you're whole alter ego.
- Exactly.
- [Zach] I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
(Colleen laughing)
- Well you have a nice voice.
- Aw, thank you.
You got a very nice laugh.
(Colleen laughing)
- Thanks.
- Cool.
- Great date.
(Colleen laughing)
- I don't know how, ahh.
Is your hair caught?
- It might be.
- All right, you ready?
- [Colleen] Yeah.
- Ow.
- Three, two, one.
(Colleen laughing)
- Hello.
- [Zach] Nice to meet you.
- [Colleen] Nice to meet you.
(upbeat music)
- I mean it was about as weird as I think
you might expect it was, would've been.
- Yeah, yeah.
I think it's weird not being able
to see someone's facials at least.
Like right now, oh, you're thinking, I can see your eyes,
you're thinking.
- Yeah, it made the moments of silence I think harder.
(Colleen laughing)
I'm like, I have nothing to read right now.
I literally, and I couldn't really see through it
so, like not even body language was an option.
- I think it's cool because it made us on the same level.
Like we have just automatically something to relate
to each other on.
- And like I think most time I think when you're meeting
someone new that you don't know
you're gonna be uncomfortable,
so now you have to like,
you're both uncomfortable.
- Yeah, exactly.
- There was no question that we were both
uncomfortable coming in.
So it was a good neutralizer.
- Right.
- Now the more I'm talking about it,
I'm like, yeah, I would totally fucking do this.
(Colleen laughing)
This is great.
- You're so really into it.
- I love it, it's fun.
