Tokyos Kabukicho neighborhood, part of the capitals Shinjuku Ward, actually has a pretty classy name. Kabuki, of course, is Japans proudest and most internationally recognized acting discipline, and the cho part just means town, referring to a proposal to build a kabuki theater in the district.

However, that proposal was originally made in the late 1940s, and plans to build the theater have long since been abandoned. Instead, Kabukicho has developed into Tokyos most unabashed collection of dive bars, hostess clubs, and strip joints. But while Japanese society usually takes a pragmatic view of carnal desire, some things are still considered over the line in the eyes of the law, and a recent investigation turned up the largest collection of illegal adult videos ever confiscated by the Tokyo police in a single operation, as 579,000 porno DVDs were seized.

Despite producing a steady stream of media designed to titillate, Japanese law requires certain censorships, such as mosaics being placed over performers genitals. A black market tries to get around these regulations by producing and selling uncensored porn, and on Nov 11 the Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested 47-year-old Kabukicho resident Ariake Morita at a DVD shop in the neighborhood, on suspicion of selling 38 prohibited DVDs to customers for a total price of around 15,000 yen. The subsequent investigation spread to raids on four other porn shops with the same ownership, as well as facilities in which uncensored videos had been produced and stored.

When the dust settled, the police had arrested 17 men, ranging in age from 22 to 79. They also had a massive collection of contraband seized from the stores, which investigators claim were each earning roughly 12 million yen per month (though how much of that came from sales of illegal pornography has not been specified). The police speculate that the proceeds may have been funneled to yakuza criminal organizations, which would add additional charges to those the accused already face.

All 17 suspects have admitted to being complicit in the illegal activities, saying they did so to earn money for living expenses, and await trial. In the meantime, no official statement has been given as to how the authorities plan to confirm that all 579,000 DVDs contain illegal, uncensored material, leaving open the possibility of public prosecutors sitting through a lengthy porn marathon as part of their civic duty.

PQPRIKo

Remember Japan only has a population of 127 million and only about 104 million of them are over 18.

So half a million DVDs is like.... a lot.

Police in Tokyo have arrested a 70-year-old man who caused a ruckus on a Japan Airlines (JAL) flight in August and kicked two female flight attendants.

According to police, Yoshitoshi Aida was aboard a domestic JAL flight on Aug 2, heading to Haneda from Aomori Airport when he refused to fasten his seat belt, yelled at and kicked the two female flight attendants before the aircraft landed at around 9:30 p.m., Fuji TV reported Tuesday.

The flight attendants, aged 31 and 24, sustained injuries that required two to three weeks to heal.

Police said Aida was drunk at the time of the incident. He was arrested on Sunday but has refused to divulge any details by stating, Im not talking until a lawyer arrives.


This doesn't have anything to do with the porn raid


Yeah but that old guy must of had a severe kind of kick if the attendents took that long to recover

That is the most ridiculous actually enforced law in probably all of modern developed civilization.

Censoring genitals in a pornographic film does absolutely nothing to make it more decent. It's extremely over the top in terms of being an arbitrary stickler over the law books.

The only reason I can possibly understand this law still existing is because of their population crisis and the desire to discourage masturbation over real sex. But why not just outright ban pornography at that rate? Why have this ridiculous gray zone that takes the worst of both worlds and the best of neither?

I call bullshit on that last part. At the very least, no CEman has ever seen a yakuza rape video. That stuff wouldn't be found on american porn sites. It would only be found on physical DVDs sold in Japan on the black market.

It's not bullshit and there are plenty of streaming jav sites that exist that actually have these videos

They aren't like rape snuff videos. They are however videos of girls who know they are being taken advantage of but are also aware there's nothing they can do about it so it. The girls aren't kidnapped. They're manipulated into sleazy contracts sometimes not even realizing it's for adult video

I've seen more than a few where it was obvious the girls didn't want to be there. In fact if it says amateur in the title I just skip over it because it's usually something uncomfortable looking

Oh and on the uncensored part who the fuck do you think is selling it. American companies don't import it and uncensor it. It's literally the black market doing it

Of course it does. Anything illicit that has substantial demand is traded by criminals, by definition, so may as well organize that crime.

I mean he could look up porn from basically any other country. Not like their internet is like China's

I have no idea why Japanese porn even has a market because of this. I guess they really gotta have their squeaky rape-play and tentacles to get off.
