The days of deai-kei websites are looking numbered as high-profile cases of arrests and suing continue.
Deai-kei sites are ostensibly dating sites, though many are actually run all by men, who pose as women -- sometimes as idols -- in order to extract fees over long periods of time.
Police arrested the thirty-four-year-old executive of a deai-kei company earlier this month, along with the nine part-time men and women who worked there -- no doubt as the "voice" of the women deceiving the men by email. The company, Wingnet, has sales in excess of 10 billion yen. An arrest warrant has ...
The new "child porn" proposal put forward by the ruling LDP, the Komeito and Japan Restoration Party immediately stoked controversy in the manga and anime worlds, with insiders suggesting it would destroy the industries.
Now there is a suggestion that under the rules of the new law, even scenes from the famed and beloved kids' anime Doraemon wouldn't be safe from the censor's scissors.
Essentially it allows any depiction of under eighteen year-old people to be defined as child porn, and being caught with such filth can get you a year in jail or a hefty fine.
As part of the ...
A three-party group has put forward a bill proposing to extend the ban on so-called child porn to anyone even just possessing it.
The ruling LDP and its allies Komeito and Japan Restoration Party (led by Shintaro Ishihara and Toru Hashimoto) proffered the new bill to the Diet at the end of May.
The manga and anime industries have already reacted in horror to the new draconian bill.
But what does this mean for the law and the average person?
Well, if you are just possessing a picture showing a Gravure idol or swimwear idol under 18, then you are liable for arrest. "Possession" ...
Some people to go to ANY lengths to catch a glimpse of the holy grail, it seems.
Hyogo police have arrested a twenty-six-year-old company employee from Kobe for hiding in a 30-by-45-inch grate in the side of the road in order to spy on girls' panties as they went by.
Yasuomi Hirai has admitted his guilt.
Around 10am on June 5th, he was spotted at a grate opening in Kobe after having entered the roadside drain via a space twenty meters away.
Nearby there is a girls' college and girls' high school, and many of the students would pass by. Hirai also lived nearby.
A ...
A teacher in Shiga has been caught installing a miniature camera in the girls' toilets at the elementary school where he works.
A student found the secret video camera one morning and told the school honchos.
Before the school could even launch a full investigation the teacher responsible confessed. Apparently the fortysomething educator had been off work for almost a year for undisclosed mental issues and this was how he "celebrated" his return to his duties.
Apparently his tech skills, along with his ability to keep a secret, need some training as he failed to record ...
Saitama police have re-arrested a company employee, Kunio Kobayashi (25) for stealing women's underwear while the items were drying outside.
The same city of Hanyu has seen ten incidents of women's skirts or dresses being pulled up to reveal what is underneath, perpetrated by a horny villain who wears women's panties over his head while exposing his lower half au naturel since around November last year.
Kobayashi has hinted at his guilt for at least some of the crime.
"I was filled with lust and wanted to taste the thrill of doing it without getting caught."
He was previously ...
The culture of chikan and up-skirt photography is catching, it seems!
Police in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, have arrested a petty officer third class stationed at the nearby US naval base. The 22-year-old took a bus in the town but decided to take in the view not just from the window.
At around 8:20 in the morning he was caught trying to snap a shot with his smartphone up the skirt of a third-year high school girl.
A 39-year-old woman thought something was suspicious and grabbed the man, reporting him to police. The soldier then sealed his guilt by notably smashing up his phone prior to ...
Think you like a bit of MILF? Think again. You've got nothing on this guy.
An unemployed man in his mid-forties has been arrested in Aichi, central Japan, for groping a pensioner.
The man professes to be mad about mature women -- so-called jukujo -- and couldn't resist the woman he saw in her seventies.
Hiroyuki Kojima apparently watched a "video" (i.e. porn) and that converted him into a MILF lover.
Actually, Japan is meant to be experiencing a "jukujo boom" right now, led by the likes of Dan Mitsu. However, it is very deceptive since Dan Mitsu et al are in their early ...
A 31-year-old man has been arrested for pretending to be a comedy duo's manager in early March and approaching gravure model Momoko Tani (28) in a department store.
There she tried on some clothes and he put on a show of being helpful.
"It's dangerous so I'll carry your bag for you," he told her, whereupon he then stole her bag and went off.
The comedy duo, Bananaman, is now very popular in Japan and no doubt the suspect believed that claiming to be their manager would be a ticket to all sorts of fun activities he normally could not do.
Ironically, Bananaman's actual manager is a woman ...
No one is above the law.
An ex-cop from the riot police has been arrested for the attempted abduction of a 15-year-old school girl in Akishima, Tokyo.
Former police sergeant Koichi Omura (32) left the force in March but has been busy since then.
He is accused of coming up to a fifteen-year-old high school first grade student early in the morning on April 15th. He was in a rented car and she was walking along a street.
"There was a crime nearby. You need to cooperate with me in a case," he said to her, no doubt hoping either to terrify her into "cooperation" or to make her feel ...
