The Chinese media is reporting the “highly popular” Japanese idol group “Angel Girls” are appearing in some sexy military themed cosplay in defence of Chinese claims on the Senkaku islands – the pictures bear the legend “Protect China’s Diaoyu Islands!” in both Japanese and Chinese.

Why they are stood in straw is in an object of some speculation.

They have appeared cosplaying schoolgirls as well:

angel-girls-006.jpg
angel-girls-007.jpg

A variety of Chinese mass media articles exist on the girls (none more than some months old), all claiming they are a “highly popular” Japanese idol group (one even claiming their gravure album sold 800,000 copies – about 100 times more than AKB48’s top seller), but it seems no Japanese have ever heard of them and there is no mention of them on the Japanese Internet – not even the obligatory Wikipedia article.

Needless to say, political statements, let alone pro-China ones, would probably spell the end of any idol’s career in Japan.

The obvious conclusion is that they are a “made in China” idol group and the ever reliable Chinese media is fabricating their supposed success entirely, with their pro-Chinese propaganda used either as a way of boosting their media profile in China or as a rather convoluted way of making it appear there are some Japanese willing to support Chinese claims to the islands.

Whether “made in China” fakes or pure propaganda lies, their existence rather ironically underscores the very reasons China generates so much mistrust in the first place.

    Kept in cages and gang-raped by the Chinese army, Japanese prisoner girls are forced to make Chinese propaganda.

    They are probably using propaganda to control the people from going berserk.

    If they make up stories where some Japanese are actually siding with the Chinese, then it may quell their anger.

    What baffles me is their incapability of control and how they have to use such tactics.

    Come to think of it, aren't they still cutting Rare Earth exports to Japan and the United States(over the saving earth saga i think)? You know, maybe war is approaching the Asia Pacific region real fast.

    honestly speaking this dispute between china and japan needs to be resolved and fast why haven't i seen any "american/western" interference yet!? oh but if it was another isreal vs. palistine dispute america is quick to intervene i mean damn why hasn't any u.s. officials said or done something yet!? i bet if some western nations began showing some love for japan they would in-turn be more tolerant of westerners/others living in their country but i digress....

    i just hope this can get resolved peacefully with both sides satisfied of the outcome what ever that outcome is

    also for the record: i'd read/fap to that doujin too!

    As a Chinese with a fond love of (most, but not all) things Japanese, I'm as pissed off about China's recent behavior as the rest of you.

    However, this place is becoming a hornet's nest of anti-Chinese rhetoric, and more depressing than seeing China act like bastards is to see so many of you people succumbing (momentarily, perhaps, like we all do) to your worst natures. I *expect* the Chinese government to act like pseudo imperialist, thuggish bastards, but in my own possibly misguided way, I expected better of you folks.

    I still believe I'm not wrong, but only by a fraying thread.

    Most of the comments are no more anti-Chinese than they were months before the whole fishing trawler issue. They just became more targeted and focused on Chinese people because of what the Chinese mobs did:
    the waitress uniform and mob riots compared with a similar Japanese demonstration.

    You really wonder why no western countries, especially the US, hasn't interfered with the troubles in the east?

    It's easy. The US is too pussified to enter a war against an enemy that has a clearly existing source of armament who could possibly trump them in war.

    One sided battles FTW! (And then elongating it to no end whatsoever despite a clear advantage)

    Well, we are all aware that there are some good people in China, but, really, we are trolls at heart and when something like this happens we have to jump on it. I'm more mad at the government and the idiots (as always) than anything else.

    As for why America/The west does not step in...think about it. It's all politics and economics. China virtually owns us. If America were to go up against their financial supporter they would be ruined. (Unless we somehow stumble into WW3, that is.)

    Doujin, please.

    @unsung hero There's absolutely 100% no reason for America to get involved in this. There's just no profit to be had. Besides, we're not fucking with China unless they're invading Japan. We're only US-niisan when Japan needs defense, not help with border disputes.

    Definitely made in China.

    The pictures of the girls in uniform do not match the faces of the girls in school dress.

    Look at the faces carefully. One thing that immediately caught my eyes were the narrow faces in the school girl ones and the wide ones in the 'military' ones. That's not to mention that the eyes also do not match up either.

    You need to remember that the government is still Chinese, and if you take down that government, another bunch of Chinese will take the job, and I don't expect them to do any better.

    It's just a culture thing, China is going to hate Japan for a very long time(as a country, not individual).

    "Even"?

    Rape carries a certain amount of risk, yet you get to choose the quality - thus, the one you choose to rape has to be the best you can find. There's no 'even' there - 'even' is when you choose a 'partner' or a whore (same thing usually).

    10% unbelievably...
    20% on the bad side
    40% normal
    20% pretty
    10% beautiful

    Heck can anyone actually even tell who's Chinese, who's Japanese, who's Korean, who's Viet, and maybe some others...
    Most people would probably not know even if they are of their own race and wouldn't be able to pick them out if there were 1000 East Asian (minus india, and etc) ppl you had to sort through just by looking at their face and whatever else you have to look at.

    And yeah, there aren't that many pretty girls no matter where you are (including Americas and Caucasians and whatnot), well you could make one seem prettier by seeing emphasis on the good parts, and of course there's plastic surgery and naturally pretty girls (go for the naturals if you want to have nice lookin kids, cough*)

    Perhaps more accurately...

    <1% Oh shi-...
    10% Visual trolls
    80% Average (not good, not horrible)
    <10% Pretty
    0.0001% Gorgeous

    This obviously doesn't include babies or women older than 35-40. Some people might be attracted to babies, but I don't think they care too much about looks. At 35-40, getting old starts messing with the statistics by making everyone uglier.

    Of course, almost without exception the better-looking ones use make-up, some of them plastic-surgery. In actuality, the only reason 'gorgeous' doesn't apply to about 1% of the population is the faulty and lacking use of make-up and the rarity and 'minimality' of plastic-surgeries. That's also the reason why most average ones aren't classified as 'pretty'.

    Really, when people talk about naturally beautiful women, they probably mean 'naturally pretty' according to the statistic above. I'd say they have to be extremely healthy, younger than 25 and yet as rare as the - artificial or not - really beautiful ones are now.
