Interview with Japanese Music Producer Yasushi Akimoto
COREN: There is a real sexualization, some would say exploitation, of teenage girls in Japanese society.
And, in your videos, you do have young girls - either they're dressed in their school uniforms, or in bikinis, sexy lingerie
licking food off each other's faces, kissing, bathing - are you, in some way, contributing to the problem?
AKIMOTO (through translator): No. It's an expression of art.
