Japan's 'hottest pin-up' only 12 yrs old.

Apologies if this has been posted before, I couldn't believe it when I read it - I know the sweet & innocent 'schoolgirl' thing has been an easy way to make a few bucks in Japan, but isn't this going too far?

Japan has a new lads mag pin-up. Saaya Irie is part of a girl group called Sweet Kiss, and is selling thousands of DVDs and magazines, featuring her clad in no more than a bikini. Saaya, whose nickname is "kyonyu", or "buxom" is 12 years-old.

The under-15 market is the fastest growing in Japanese porn. Masahiro Kitagawa, one of the industry's new star spotters says "The weakening of Japanese men means guys now place a lot of importance on imagining they have control over the opposite sex... The polarization of the market is likely to continue, but I don't think it will go any lower than the Under-10s."

He's wrong: the latest erotic pin-up is nine year-old Mizuki Furui. Her first photo collection has already sold over 10,000 copies. The oriental JonBenet appears in a selection of poses wearing school uniform, PE kit and a swimsuit, licking an ice cream etc.

There are image links but I'm not going to include them.

That's just disgusting. You should have posted pictures. :mad:

Jokes aside it's wrong and not right. FFS, they probably don't even know what they're doing as they've not even gone through puberty yet. It's sick.

what - my post or the fact that it's happening? The fact that it wouldn't be acceptable to us in the UK was kinda my point.

Japanese culture has a very deep rooted “appreciation” of young girls.

Will Gill · 18 Aug 2006 at 17:47

she doesnt look 12!!

still sick given the target audience

mightynimrod · 18 Aug 2006 at 17:47

Irrelevant how she looks, she's still 12.

Shows how society accepts things like this, yet incidents of adults looking at 12 year olds are classed as peodophilea.

Doesn't sound as though it's disguised at all.

Probably pushed into it.. Japanese woman typically have very small bust sizes and thus any females born with larger breasts are thrown into certain industries as they are guaranteed to become stars...

PAEDOGEDDON.

And earn very good incomes from it at well.

Young Japan is in the middle of a sexual freedom explosion as this generation doesn’t have reservations of its parents. The media has a huge part in this and they are consistently bombarded with attractive women selling them everything from shoes to big-macs while dressed in a bikini 2 sizes to small.

That's quite shocking. A colleague of mine who lived in Japan for 3 years once described the Japanese as a nation of paedophiles. I thought he was being a bit crude and taking the mickey but evidently not.
Where else in the world can you buy a pair of 'Used schoolgirls knickers' from a vending machine?

Scuzi, are you being serious? About the knickers?

That's quite shocking, one of the most modern countries in the world, and they're acting like the ancient greeks.

Oxbow · 18 Aug 2006 at 17:59

I haven't been to Japan myself but the guy I mentioned told me that he had one of them just outside his apartment and apparently they were all over the place. He's not the sort to lie about such things either.
