I was browsing the Amazon (JP) site the other day and came across a whole load of photo albums of 8 to 14 year-olds, barely clad (in bikinis and sailor fuku), and some in suggestive poses. These books were all marked "Not for sale outside of Japan".
While I'm sure there is nothing inappropriate inside the covers, the fact that it's acceptable for 8 year-olds to pose in a bikini made me a little sick. The Japanese (or at least some Japanese) take the kawai thing too seriously. :sweat:
I read something about that a year or two ago. An 11 years old girl with F or G-cup breast patch up things between China and Japan. Her photobook was selling like hotcakes and was placed in most store's front. :crazy:

if you honestly think there is nothing inappropriate for a prepubescent girl to post even remotely provactive photos i would be schocked...i think you are deferring to a sense of political correctness...keep it real, thtl....the nihonjin have a verified fetish for overly young girls...it's disturibing and digusting.

I was trying to be, er, polite. I've been in clubs with Japanese in the past, and I know what they can be like. :grumble:

Ugh, I second that. If I say any more, I'll get into one of my never-ending rants again.

I think you are referring to Irie Saaya. I was looking up artiste information on the Japanese Wikipedia and the entries sometimes include the cup size (in addition to vital statistics) of a female artiste, usually when it is F or above.

this is what you speak of tabana: 11 year old Saaya Irie...scandolous
...However, she is more well-known for her provocative poses in bikinis. In May 2005, her pictures taken by Japanese photographer Garo Aida were posted on a Chinese forum by a third party, along with a message pleading for better bilateral relations between China and Japan. Tabloid stories soon followed with raunchy headlines like "Busty 11-Year-Old Girl with F Cup Eases Cross-Strait Relations". (An F cup in Japan is roughly equivalent to a C-D cup in the United States.) Her bikini pictures soon received widespread distribution over the World Wide Web. In the aftermath of this incident, her manager has said they will refrain from having more bikini photoshoots of Saaya; but in her second DVD, "Little Legend", Saaya was once again wearing a bikini..

I hope the girl at least get a kick out of this (posing in bikinis).@@Her super-mammalian tissue probably got her into show biz, I just hope this isn't the only thing she'll be remembered for. :shakehead:
P.S. Just realized it'll be her 13th birthday tomorrow.

That kind of reputation, and assets, is hard to shake (figuratively speaking, of course).

The wedding rush continues. The latest showbiz couple to announce their marriage is actress Yada Akiko (27) and actor/singer Oshio Manabu (28), who registered their marriage at a Tokyo city office yesterday. Oshio, who sings under the name Liv, made the first announcement on his official fan club website immediately afterwards. Yada's management agency, who anticipated the usual speculation by saying that she is not pregnant, then sent a fax to the media. The couple started going out after co-starring in last year's TBS drama "Yume de Aimashou". Last December the media speculated whether their New Year trip to Hawaii and California was to get married in the sun (including that trip, they have been to Hawaii three times already). The couple, seeming pretty annoyed by the attention, made no attempt to hide their relationship but refused to speak to reporters. Even now that they've tied the knot, they have no intention of holding a press conference and there are no plans for a wedding ceremony. Yada has been working a lot less since their romance became public and has not done any TV work since the "Top Caster" drama series in the summer. Oshio has put his acting career on hold and is said to be working on an album as Liv.
• Comedian Murata Nagisa was found dead of a brain haemorrhage at his Tokyo home on Sunday. He was just 35. A member of the popular comedy duo Folk Dance DE Narukozaka in the 1990s, he went solo in 1999. Last year he formed the manzai duo Hana Engine. They were returning from a regional radio show last Friday when Murata complained to his partner that he was feeling unwell. When he failed to answer his cell phone the following day, his agency contacted the caretaker at his apartment building, who found him face down in his futon.
• Shinjo Tsuyoshi (34) has his first job since retiring as a champion baseball player - he's set to appear on next Monday's edition of the popular SMAPxSMAP variety show. Ever stylish, Shinjo is likely to draw as much attention to his choice of fashion as much as anything else.
