Japan’s homeboy* and big old cherryboy, Steven Seagal, is shown at a hamami/cherry blossom viewing party in the above photo, which was labeled with March 3rd, 2004 in its camera data.

The solution was as creative as it is odd-sounding — the machines were countered by invoking the Antique Dealings Law, a statute which stipulates that an antique dealer or a dealer in second-hand items must obtain permission from local authorities. Lacking those permissions, the items could not be vended.
In September 1993, three businessmen were charged with selling used panties without a permit under the provenance of this law. This supposedly ended the presence of such salespoints in that country, but like we said at the top of this piece, countless readers have since written to tell us that the machines can still be found.

The dorky lead vocalist is Hamano Kenta doin’ his best James Brown with babes and even a Mentos cola bomb—So ya betta get tight fast ‘n’ funky. ![]()
*Zainichi here refers to the ethnic Korean citizens or residents of Japan who are often discriminated against in Japan despite most of them having been born in Japan, often for several generations. In a way, Zainichi share in same minority status as Black Americans so Zainichi Funk makes sense. See wikipedia.org/wiki/Koreans_in_Japan
