Business As Usual In Akiba

The parade atmosphere in Akiba seems little diminished after the fallout from Mrs Wide Open’s scandalous antics – this cross-dressing live goldfish earring sporting elderly gentleman seems still to be a regular fixture, lolita performers seem unperturbed by police attention, and sign perching cat is still ensconced on his sign. Business as usual then?


Mrs Wide Open’s Exposure Bought by Press

Mrs Wide Open, or 沢本あすか / Asuka Sawamoto as she likes to call herself, Akiba’s “eternally 22” exposure idol and career criminal (30), has revealed in a shocking admission to gossip rag Spa that she was put up to her antics by a TV producer offering cash to guarantee a “performance”. Mrs Wide Open says she was propositioned by one of the numerous TV pressmen covering her exhibitionistic antics – “I’d like to pin it [a flash of your posterior] down” she alleges she was asked.

Mrs Wide Open’s Life of Crime

Mrs Wide Open, or 沢本あすか/Asuka Sawamoto as she likes to call herself, by AkibaBlog

Mrs Wide Open, or 沢本あすか/Asuka Sawamoto as she likes to call herself, 30 but “eternally 22”, now famous for exposure and arrest in Akiba, reveals plenty of lurid details about her life of crime, exhibitionism, theft, and (alleged) prostitution, in an exclusive interview given to ZakZak. Regarding the photos surfacing on 2ch, flyers for call girls and the like, allegedly of her from her days of disgrace (if these can indeed be said to be over) working in the sex trade, she says of the woman in the photos: “Her size is the same”, and sympathetically laments “If she gets mixed up in this, she’ll probably get some strange customers”. But it doesn’t stop there, unfortunately.

Mrs Wide Open Covers Up

Mrs Wide Open, humbled by AkibaOS

Mrs Wide Open, or 沢本あすか/Asuka Sawamoto as she likes to call herself, of serial exhibitionism fame, seems to have covered up, and is now modestly appareled, at least as long as chaperoned by a policeman taking time out from haranguing cosplayers to do something useful. We can but hope she stays covered up, but this may be a hope in vain. Reporting delivered with sarcasm and panache by AkibaOS. Having seen her without the distraction of her thong or the magic of photoshop, you may be shaken – relief, as always, provided here.

Akiba Pirate DVDs?

Akiba Pirate DVDs, by Akibablog

This is surprising considering how het up the police in Akiba are over street performances and the like now – pirate, uncensored and overseas edition DVDs being sold bold as brass from a normal retail location? Not for long, I’d wager. Interesting to see how long they last; usually these kind of shops have to be far more discrete and be ready to disappear rapidly. Akibablog reveals all. But 3000¥ for a pirate DVD? Exorbitant.

Star in your own Anime – New Maid Café

Popopure, by Sankei

Your own anime, with maids? The newest twist in the maid boom may be new maid café ぽぽぷれ/Popopure, where the patron is not only pampered by maids (or “メイドに萌えながら” as the article amusingly puts it), but also gets to lend their voice to a short anime produced whilst in the shop, with the customer able to watch the process. There are 3 characters available for voicing in the 3 minute anime, so if you are the ronery type you can get the maids to participate – marvellous. Naturally you also get a copy on DVD. Via Sankei.

Eat Snake, Bear, Camel, Horse Schlong (45cm) at Akiba

Frozen horse penis (45cm) at AKIBA GeteQ, photo by Ota-Suke

Kebab not good enough? Try takoyaki made with a variety of strange meats – Burmese python, bear, camel hump, crocodile tail, green sea turtle (by-catch I presume), and of course, the reason you came here, horse penis (45cm); all available at newly opened rare meat themed eatery AKIBA ゲテQ/AKIBA GeteQ. This via Ota-Suke – be sure to check out all their photos of the place if you find this hard to believe, or just want to look at more frozen horse penis (45cm), or little balls thereof.

I would be delighted to hear this is a fake but it appears not – the photos show more than just the icy member in convincing detail. Are horse penis takoyaki eateries the new maid café? I have mixed feelings about just which is preferable.

Itasha Mass Media Coverage

Itasha on Asahi TV, by Jabro

It seems all that hanging around in Akihabara looking for a breakdown in law and order has given the folks at Asahi TV an idea or two. Today on ナニコレ珍百景, loosely “What the hell is this, 100 views of the bizarre”, they aired a feature entitled “美少女の車軍団”, “Bishojo Car Corps”, covering the variety of itasha around – I couldn’t help but be reminded of Danny Choo’s article. This via Jabro, head on over there for more pictures.

The Colonel told to cut out the crossdressing

No maid cosplay for Colonel Sanders

KFC’s Colonel Sanders will no longer be dressed as a maid at KFC Akihabara – by order of the management. By way of Akibablog, with more details at AkibaOS. Understandable that they wouldn’t get away with this for long.

Mrs Wide Open Fallout Digest

Nurse performing, by AkibaOS

The fallout from the recent arrest of a certain self publicist and mass media hysteria (Akihabara is a “lawless area”) has continued apace. Firstly, an anti-street performance patrol group was formed to hound off anyone thinking of engaging in such. After this, several conspicuous voices of protest arose: here we have a man dressed as a nurse proclaiming he will not strip (thankfully!), and here an impromptu speech is televised before the perpetrator is taken away; his “heart was stolen by gundam” indeed.

Mrs Wide Open’s Erotic DVD Debut

Asuka Sawamoto - Sexy Spiral

I am really not keen on resurrecting her foul yet shrewd antics, but seeing this over at Akibablog, I can’t help but post. Not content with being arrested, the self proclaimed 22 year old sexy idol 沢本あすか/Asuka Sawamoto (30) has launched a new raunchy DVD of herself, titled as you can see “Sexy Spiral” – perhaps “Downward Spiral” would be more fitting. This has gone on sale in variety of Akiba locations, to be followed in a few days by a general release, according to the unfortunate witnesses.

I have liberally translated the well laid on description given for your delectation/revulsion: “Erotic idol Asuka Sawamoto is let loose in this radical non-nude erotic movie! The ultra close up crotch shots are a must see. A prim and proper little lady does this and that in situations sure to stir you up and get you going with the most alluring shots, totaling 70 minutes. In that slender frame lurks a captivating presence, the very limits of what can be put in an Image DVD”. Relief here and here.

Mrs Wide Open Arrested, Finally

An Improbable Photo from Mainichi

Mainichi reports that the resourceful if notorious Akihabara self-publicist Mrs Wide Open (30), or 沢本あすか/Asuka Sawamoto as she likes to call herself, has finally been arrested for creating a public nuisance. I can only hope that with this the endless stream of sordid photographs will cease, and we can return to ogling fine art instead. Alternatively, try her new DVD.
