Cops Grab 93,000 Porno DVDs, Scores Arrested

Cops Grab 93,000 Porno DVDs, Scores Arrested - Japanese policewomen don\'t, as a rule, look like this

43 proprietors and employees of 42 shops selling “obscene” DVDs in Shinjuku’s Kabukichou red light district have been arrested for peddling smut, Asahi reports. Police claim the arrests are unprecedented in number.

The heinous crimes they allegedly committed were for 12 of their number to sell 141 “obscene” adult DVDs worth ¥102,000 ($1,000), and for the rest to display with intent to sell AV DVDs and magazines inside their shops, which each had monthly earnings of some ¥5,000,000; small fry indeed. How bold these criminals have become to sell adult materials inside their adult shops in the middle of the red light district. Police also helped themselves to all the porn in sight, grabbing 93,000 adult articles, they say. Enough to keep the police busy for a while it seems.

The article, and police, are silent on just in what manner these DVDs were “obscene”, my guess would be they fell afoul of local government or had mosaic issues, as the numbers seem rather large for age issues, but it is at any rate clear that Japan’s ludicrous censorship regime has claimed yet more victims, not that many tears will be shed for a mob of Yakuza pawns.

Arrest for $30,000 Eroge Pirate

Arrest for $30,000 Eroge Pirate - Elf All-stars Strip Mahjong 3 / エルフオールスターズ脱衣雀３

Asahi reports that a Tokyo area student has been arrested on suspicion of unauthorised copying of Elf All-stars Strip Mahjong 3 (the ignominy – not even arrested over a decent game), amongst many others, but ardent P2P users can, for once, relax as this idiot was not arrested over P2P usage, as other unfortunates have been lately, but for loading the games (some 180, it is claimed) onto HDD and selling them in online auctions.

Apparently he managed a modest profit, selling a hundred drives over a year, and netting himself ¥3,000,000 (for study expenses, he pleas), though as you can see, the risk/reward ratio ultimately was hardly favourable. It seems he downloaded the software from a Chinese P2P service, presumably a torrent forum.

    Somehow they'll find a way to blame all of this on the Chinese.... More

Huge Itasha Convention

Fate Testarossa (itasha) at the FSW Itasha Meeting, by Ascii.jp

I couldn’t help but be astonished on seeing this enormous itasha convention (easily the largest in Japan, and also the world), the FSW Itasha Meeting, covered by Ascii.jp in detail in three parts here, here, and here. Veritable throngs were in attendance, and participation (including non-itasha observers) was around 300 vehicles, gathered from all over Japan, despite the bad weather.

All kinds of vehicles seem to be in evidence, from flatbed trucks to motorcycles, and the meet was held at a race track, the Fuji Speedway, so they naturally hit the track (great Shana paint job there), though not all look as if they belong there.

Itasha seem to be gaining prominence lately; there has been media coverage, of course they are omnipresent in Akiba, and now this. Not long before we see itasha paint jobs as options on the latest models? Still a bridge too far, I’d wager.
