Virgin Mary arrested for operating a brothel

Mainichi reports on the arrest of several people involved in a brothel business:

A brothel owner and three other people have been arrested for allowing a female employee to use a hotel room for prostitution, Tokyo police said.

Toshiko Uchida, 70, the brothel owner, and three unnamed suspects stand accused of violating the Anti-Prostitution Law.

For some reason, Mainichi’s article left out the best part of the story. If you watch the video embedded in this post, the news report says that Uchida considers herself the “Blessed Virgin Mary,” and is denying the charges against her on the grounds that she is too pure to engage in such a crime.

Male Passengers Fear False Molestation Charges

Many train lines around Japan’s major cities have women-only cars to protect women from unwanted groping during crowded rush hours. The problem still persists, however, making some men worry that they could be falsely accused of molesting nearby women during their commute. The solution? How about men’s only carriages:

The recent arrest of an Osaka couple for trying to set up a middle-aged man by falsely accusing him of fondling a woman train traveler has large numbers of salarymen shaking in their boots at the thought of being blackmailed by crafty commuters looking for a quick buck. This has heightened calls on railroad companies to set up sanctuaries where men can travel in peace, safe in the knowledge that they won’t be accused of molestation.

Most railroad companies say they consider the issue a serious one.

“It’s true we’ve received over 20 formal requests for the establishment of men’s only carriages since the false accusation arrest (early last month). But actually, we’ve been receiving requests for theses carriages for a long time now. It’s not something that has started recently,” a spokesman for the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau, which runs the city’s subway network, tells Weekly Playboy.

But the outlook for men’s only carriages seems dim.

“We get a lot of requests for them and take note of these, but we have no plans regarding carriages exclusively for men at this time,” a spokesman for the East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) says.

Keio Electric Railway Co., which back in 2000 became Japan’s first railroad to introduce women’s only carriages, also has no current arrangements in place to correct the gender imbalance on its routes.

“We’re aware that there are these demands, but we have no concrete plans for men’s only carriages at this stage,” a company spokesman says.

Train experts say railroad companies are quite content to sit back and let men travel in fear of being falsely accused of groping.

Actress & Crew Arrested For Shooting Porno Movie At McDonald’s

The woman shown above was arrested today for taking part in an adult movie filmed inside of a McDonald’s restaurant in Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture on January 24 of this year. Here’s a clip of NTV’s coverage of the story:

The woman is identified as Ms. Nahoko Shimada (her stage name has not been reported), a 21-year-old dental assistant that has starred in several adult films. According to Nikkan Sports, she has since retired from making porn.

Also arrested were three men, including an actor and the film’s director. The director, who was making adult movies to pay off 20 million yen in debts, has said he chose McDonald’s as a filming location because they did not want to pay for the use of a hotel and did not expect to be discovered while filming. One man had positioned himself in a seat to act as a screen for the filming activities, but they were eventually noticed and the police were notified, leading to today’s arrests.

Update: Some Japanese sites have speculated that the actress is Rinka Aoyama (青山りんか):

Do you think she resembles the woman in the news video?

Big Breasts Win Verdict For Japanese Gravure Idol

Odd news for today:

A Japanese pin-up model says that her big breasts have not only boosted her career — they also helped her overturn a court verdict.

The bikini model, who goes by her professional name Serena Kozakura, was cleared after a court decided she was too well-endowed to squeeze into a room through a hole, as she had been found guilty of earlier.

“I used to hate my body so much,” Kozakura, who has appeared in product commercials on television, told the private Asahi network in an interview aired Tuesday.

“But it was my breasts” that won in court, she said.

[...]

The case was splashed through the Japanese media on Tuesday, with the Asahi network even inviting her to demonstrate how she could not fit through the opening.

Kozakura, 38, was convicted last year of property destruction after a man said she kicked in the wooden door of his room and crawled inside, apparently because he was with another woman.

Kozakura had said the man made the hole himself.

In her appeal, the defence counsel held up a plate showing the size of the hole and said that she could not squeeze through with her 110-centimetre (44-inch) bust.

“The judges were very good-mannered as they showed no expressions on their faces. I guess they’re well-trained,” Kozakura said.

And some screen captures from tv news coverage of the case, including a re-enactment performed by Kozakura:

North Korean Girls Flourish In Pink Trade

So reports the Japan Times:

As a Korean living in Japan, Yoon (a pseudonym) is hardly unique. Over half a million ethnic Koreans reside here. The surprising thing about Yoon is where she came from ・North Korea.

She’s one of an estimated 1,000 North Koreans who have escaped their country and ended up living in Japan, Weekly Playboy says. Like Yoon, nearly all are female and work in the sex industry, according to the magazine’s source, a documentary filmmaker from South Korea, whose name is undisclosed.

How do they manage to flee the world’s most secretive country and end up here? Apparently through a long and complicated journey.

“Most of them first go to China and then they move on to third countries because the Chinese authorities are strict these days,” the source explains

“If they have money, they can buy a phony passport and then fly to South Korea. Those without the necessary cash go via land routes, to Southeast Asia or Mongolia. They’re all aiming to make it to South Korea in the end.”

But once in South Korea, the refugees often have a new problem to deal with ・discrimination. Southerners tend to look down on their neighbors from the North, and the labor market offers them few opportunities. If the refugees are female and in their 20s or early 30s, one of the few types of work available is in the sex or nightlife industries.

“They find a lot of discrimination at the workplace and they get paid less than their South Korean co-workers. And that’s why they look to Japan,” the filmmaker says.
