Tokyo’s Shibuya Center-Gai Police Patrol vs evil Gaijin/foreigners

Dangerous Furry vs Shibuya Center-Gai Police Patrol

Now this is perfect gift for the Japanese otaku/perv– a wallet made of schoolgirl “bloomers” (gym suit bottoms).
The Japanese Akiba blog describes them (machine translation) in the following breathless prose: “Romance for a man is new lifestyle product–a cute item of the palm size that is simple and is full of beautilities of an elegant design…just the thing to show it off your friends and the workplace.” The perv-wallet is packaged with its related “Strawberries” manga as though it is a special edition comic.

Japanese wankers buy these burusera/bloomers (Wiki) for their fantasy romances with pre-high-school girls. Eew.

The 3Yen contributor, “ECM,” sent in this only-in-Japan behavior of Japanese robber calls police to confess while still in front of the convenience store he attempted to rob.
As “ECM writes, “in the USA he’d have pistol-whipped the woman and made off with the loot.”

Robber calls police to confess crime
October 2, 2009 — smh.com.au…..Takashi Owada, a 54-year-old unemployed man, demanded money from the 59-year-old female cashier at a convenience store in the northern city of Fukushima on Tuesday, a police spokesman said.
But she told him: “Don't be silly!”
Owada immediately changed his mind and said: “I'm sorry.”He called the police at the store exit with his own mobile telephone…more…

Such politeness sounds crazy but in Japan most criminals know that self-refection and confession automatically reduces the sentence of a crime by 50 to 80%….in a country with a conviction rate is 98%.

October’s Tokyo Metro “Manner” (sic) poster offers this suggestion of politeness.

In previous months, posters reminded riders of their manners:
—Beachin’ Tokyo trains
–‘Please refrain from snotty…’
– The official start of the Japanese Vomiting Season
–Don’t read newspapers
And many, many, more….

One in four women in Japan elderly: govt data

A record one in four women in Japan is aged 65 or over, latest official figures showed Monday, highlighting fears of a looming demographic crisis in the world’s number two economy….more...

Today is a Japanese national holiday, Respect-for-the-Aged Day (敬老の日, Keirō no hi) and I expect all you Japanese poon-hounds to show the ladies some respect, ok?

Japan’s new ‘Silver Week’ is another just another corporate excuse for a layoff and unpaid week since more than 40% of Japan’s workers are on part-time and subcontracts (and therefore all holidays are unpaid), meh.

First ‘Silver Week’ fall holidays a bonanza for hard-pressed tourism industry
Mainichi — September 12, 2009
Due to revisions to the Public Holiday Law, Japanese residents will for the first time enjoy a 5-day holiday break beginning Sep. 19 and dubbed “Sliver Week.”
The 2003 holiday revisions shifted Respect for the Aged Day from Sep. 15 to the third Monday of September, creating this year’s 5-day stretch, called “Silver Week” as a fall counterpart to the “Golden Week” holiday in May….more...

The YouTube content filter labels this four-part series as safe general audiences (safe for work) so enjoy what they describe as Japanese fish porn–”the most advanced on the PLANET!”

I wander through this area in Tokyo’s Kabukicho district all the time going to my friend’s bar in “Golden Gai” (which I think is “golden” because it’s downhill from the public squat toilet). Like most of trashed-out Tokyo, it looks very sketchy in the photo below but it’s actually quite safe and comfortably cosy.

Friend of 3Yen and international man of mystery, “Mulboyne” tweeted about the government’s, “plans for the new Miyashita Nike Park in Shibuya,” which is just a two-birds-with-one-stone plan to wipe out the homeless in the park while cashing-in on Nike’s deep pockets.
Younger homeless people have gathered in Miyashita Park in Shibuya since the collapse of Japan’s Bubble Economy in the early ’90s and the following Lost Decade that has lasted for almost 20 years. In addition the park has been the staging area for Tokyo protests, which has motivated Tokyo’s arch conservative government to “Just Do It” and redevelop the intentionally neglected park.

Speaking of Monkey Girls in the previous post…

3 professional wrestlers accused of abusing pet monkey at gym
Mainichi Japan September 1, 2009
KOBE – Police here will send documents to prosecutors on three professional wrestlers over allegations they abused a pet monkey kept at a training gym…Around April, the monkey — a female 10-year-old Japanese macaque — was subjected to various acts of abuse at a gym run by Kobe-based wrestling group Dragon Gate…more…

This abuse came to light many months ago and the wrestlers seemed to think it was acceptable enough to post on their official website as described below by Wrestling Truth magazine.

wrestlingtruth.com June 1st, 2009 … wrestlers constantly tease the monkey and have:

• Choked him by the neck until it passed out.
• Burned the monkey with charcoal.
• Threw him into a tub of boiling hot water.
• Blew air into his mouth so it would defecate itself.
• Gave the monkey sake (Japanese alcohol) regularly until it would pass out.
• Dragged it around by a chain on its neck.
• Attached fire crackers to him and lit them
• And locked him in a box and sprayed antiperspirant inside, causing it to freak out.

The wrestlers implicated are Shingo Takagi, Akira Tozawa and Katsuo/Yuki Ono, after they openly blogged about the abuse…more...
