New Law Criminalizes Child Pornography in Japan: Part 2
The junior idol genre is part of a larger culture that sexualizes underage girls, including celebrities
such as pop group AKB48. Members as young as 13 often engage in suggestive behavior in their videos and
commercial appearances, and their song lyrics contain some sexually provocative content.

Japan's Kiddie Porn Empire: Bye-Bye?
To some degree, the sexualization of young girls is mainstream in Japan. For example, Japan's most
popular and mega-profitable all-female pop group AKB48 includes members as young as 13; and they've
posed for ++sexy & semi-nude layouts in Japan's Weekly Playboy several times.
The general producer of AKB48, Yasushi Akimoto is a board member of The Tokyo Organizing Committee for the 2020
Olympics (sometimes called the Yakuza Olympmics). There has been some criticism of his selection for the committee.

AKB48: The New Japanese Fascism
The exploitation and sexualization of women is pandemic across cultures and its fervour
in Japan is older and graver than AKB48 alone. However, the consistent denial of this by
Akimoto in interviews is as astounding as it is infuriating.

AKB48, headshaving and the sexual politics of J-Pop
AKB48 graced the covers of magazines, advertised sweets and a myriad other

This incarnation of the group relied on the girls' "sexy" image and played on
popular Japanese sexual stereotypes, particularly the "sexy schoolgirl".

Amazon's Japan HQ 'raided' in child porn investigation
Japan's "idol" industry is worth an estimated GBP408 million a year, with a significant
proportion of that being spent on illegal images of young children.

Police raid Amazon's Japan offices, seeking evidence of child porn sales
Amazon prohibits the sale of illegal products, however, it appears that the laws are a bit murky
in Japan when it comes to a so-called "junior idol industry," which includes photos and DVDs of
scantily clad pre-pubescent girls. Last year, Japan banned the possession of child pornography,
but the law didn't include any mention of the "idol" industry, Bloomberg reports.

12-year-old idol singer in hospital after inhaling helium on TV Asahi program
She is believed to have suffered an air embolism, losing consciousness as
a result of air bubbles blocking the flow of blood to the brain.
Medical personnel said Thursday the girl has regained consciousness and has
limited movement but cannot yet speak clearly.

The game show is called AKBingo and features women from the idol group AKB48 playing
dodge ball until one of them gets hit and is forced to do a terrible penalty, like trying to
blow to keep a cockroach out of their mouth.
AKB48, cool Japan, cockroach http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/news/a40467/the-internet-is-obsessed-with-this-gross-video-of-two/

Apparently the premise of the variety show is that the members of the girl group AKB48
compete in various games, quizzes and activities and whoever loses has to pay a penalty ―
usually in the form of an outrageous game (i.e. the one we just discussed).
AKB48, cool Japan, cockroach http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/watch-as-these-women-attempt-to-blow-bugs-into-each-other-s-mouths-58404

The clip is from an episode last month of the game show AKBingo ― which stars members
of the all-female musical pop group AKB48 who play dodge ball and then whomever gets
hit with the ball has to pay a variety of penalties, reports AsiaOne.

AKBingo, which has been running since 2008, features the stars of AKB48, an all-girl pop
group that not only has to sing and dance but play dodgeball on television in order to keep
the interest of their fans by paying ridiculous penalties that are fun only in the sense that
watching human suffering in a carnival-like atmosphere is an enjoyable act for many.
