Just a few days after we reported on the ongoing police crackdown in Kabukicho over drugs, prostitution, and delinquency.
These reports appear literally almost daily now. Hosts arrested for extracting debt payments in dubious ways, such as introducing women to pimps. Young women arrested for soliciting on the street. It's a never-ending conveyor belt of moral outrage, dutifully reported in the mainstream media.
The most shocking stories are those that involve underage girls: some hosts are so desperate for money and so unscrupulous that they exploit minors.
The latest story is in a similar ...
Prostitution is big business in Japan, as any wander down the back alleys of Kabukicho or around Okubo Park should quickly attest.
The former is filled with blowjob parlors and "dispatch" shops, while the latter has become a notorious hotbed of streetwalkers (actually, street standers -- since they are all just lingering and waiting for clients to come along).
We would like to think it's the sex workers themselves who are making all the yen but there are almost always middlemen (perhaps with the exception of the women at Okubo Park, which is why they are more vulnerable).
As reported ...
It sounds like the plot of a modern-day Edogawa Rampo story.
Police have arrested a 39-year-old elementary school teacher for trespassing.
Masashi Mizuno teaches at a school in Edogawa, Tokyo, and snuck into the home of a high school student who used to be in his class at another school.
According to police, Mizuno secretly made a copy of her home key five years prior in anticipation of sneaking into her home in the future.
Mizuno apparently had a fetish for female school uniforms. "I wanted a school uniform and I remembered the student, and that she would be in high school by now," he ...
Police have arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of violating the new adult video law after he was caught filming a sex act with a 16-year-old girl in a karaoke room.
One of the most common places to go to karaoke in Japan is a building with lots of small soundproof rooms, little more than booths really. This gives you privacy to drink and sing, and thus also ideal date spots. A bit of cuddling and smooching in the karaoke booth is the perfect prelude to moving on to your home or a love hotel.
Inevitably, sex does happen in karaoke rooms, but actually making a porn film without ...
A Japanese pianist has been arrested for stealing the aprons of flight attendants to satisfy a fetish for their smell.
Thirty-four-year-old Kazuya Saito lives in Tokyo but travels widely for his work as a professional concert pianist.
In May, airline ANA reported the theft of several flight attendant aprons.
Saito is accused of stealing an apron (worth around ¥5,000) from an April 25 ANA flight from Ishigaki to Haneda while the plane was preparing for takeoff. His arrest was first reported on June 14 and further details have emerged in the last few days.
The pianist has apparently ...
More bad news about compensated dating now as the moral panic over papakatsu continues.
Papakatsu is a kind of newish buzzword to describe compensated dating that involves an older man and younger woman (though in practice, compensated dating often meant such sugar daddy relationships regardless of terminology).
Following media stories about female fraudsters and even at least one murder, it helps to remember that the men are not always the victim here -- and since they're the ones with the money, quite the opposite in many cases.
The young women involved in papakatsu may be barely over ...
Shinjuku police have arrested a 22-year-old in Kabukicho host for tricking a 17-year-old girl out of around ¥400,000 in cash.
Rai Akama is a former actor and was in contact with the girl after she came to see one of his stage productions last summer. He invited her to his host club and, so that she wouldn't get caught as underage, even lent her the ID of a female friend.
This only solidified the girl's dependency on Akama, who was apparently prepared to deceive his own club and risk his livelihood for her benefit.
She took a part-time job to give him money but he wanted more. He ...
Yesterday we shared the news about an elementary school teacher suspended (but allowed to keep his job) for downloading child porn.
Now comes a story involving another educator up to no good in Japan.
A male teacher in his forties has been arrested for taking videos up girls' skirts in escalators in Tokyo.
The man is a teacher at a public elementary school in Urayasu, Chiba, according to multiple media reports this week.
Upskirting is a huge fetish in Japan, inspiring a unique word (panchira) to describe the thrill of glimpsing female panties up a skirt. Secret filming (especially in ...
A male teacher at an elementary school in the prefecture of Gifu has been punished for saving and possessing child porn on his phone.
The unnamed 33-year-old educator was suspended for four months, starting May 23, according to Japanese media reports.
The school is located in the small city of Kani in the landlocked prefecture.
The education board gave a press conference in which it attempted to explain the situation, noting that the teacher had downloaded two videos and an image to his phone between October three years ago until September last year "in order to satisfy his sexual ...
Like millions of others, you have probably seen and enjoyed the homemade porn content by Naomiii, recording her sexual exploits with a partner in various parts of Japan, and showcasing her amazing body, which probably includes the best-shaped labia we have possibly ever seen.
But publicly shared sex tapes and amateur porn are still subject to the same obscenity law in Japan that demands censorship of genitalia, and you are especially liable to attract police attention if you are successfully selling content online -- and ultimately face arrest.
And so it has come to pass for Naomiii, ...
