You don’t get any bigger in Japanese entertainment industry than the idol group ‘AKB48′—Japan’s version of singing high school hooker/cheerleaders who are high on bubblegum-flavored crack and hallucinogenic helium.
AKB48 ‘Connected To Yakuza’
Sankaku Complex | May 24, 2013 (NSFW banner ads)
The latest scandal to surface around “national idol” group AKB48 may be the most damaging yet – it has emerged that the group’s founders apparently enjoyed close relations with the yakuza, leading to the profoundly unsavoury conclusion that the Japanese government has been using public funds to subsidise a yakuza-connected idol group in order to promote Japan’s image overseas…more...

So basically, what this really means is that the Yakuza pwn the entertainment industry in Japan? Amiright?
Oh, no! Say it isn’t so….Japanese entertainment industry figures linked to organized crime? Simply unbelievable. Utterly inconceivable. Unthinkable! Preposterous! I simply cannot imagine any legitimate Japanese business being linked with the yakuza.
“The yakuza have a hand in all sorts of industries, and working with them is just a part of doing business in this city,” admits the executive, who himself was a mafia-connected negotiator for a construction company for almost 40 years.
