Sony’s last hope for revitalising its flagging videogame business this generation is apparently a huge success, with a host of Japanese retailers selling out of the PS3 Slim completely before the general release has even begun…
A quick tour of big name Japanese game and electronics retailers reveals inventory has all but dried up; confirmed as being completely sold out are Amazon, Yamada Denki, Sofmap, ubook, eDeji and Rakuten, with Bic, Yodobashi, Geo and Joshin having sold out of the Gundam bundle but not (yet?) the bare console.
Of course, no one would put it past Sony to deliberately restrict supply to stores in order to create “sold out!” headlines and create an air of rarity and desirability, as some might suspect Nintendo of doing with its hugely successful Wii when that was first released…
A lolicon who carried off a 6-year-old girl into a store toilet in order to have his way with her was subsequently found to have stolen 100 sukumizu.
The 22-year-old car mechanic, a resident of Miyagi prefecture, was arrested after he seized a six-year-old girl in a convenience store and took her into the store toilet, gagging her to keep her quiet.
Once in the toilet apparently all he proceeded to do was pick her up and hold her; police charged him with assault after his apprehension.
Once caught, a search of his home revealed over 100 sets of school issue swimwear, all stolen from local elementary schools.
He admits charges of breaking into the schools in order to steal the sukumizu, and has been charged with trespass and burglary.

A survey has revealed unexpectedly high levels of interest in cosplay among Japanese women, with some 30% having either tried it or wanting to try it.
The online survey was conducted by market research firm iShare, and asked 565 Japanese men and women aged 20-40 about their attitudes to cosplay.
When both genders were asked whether they had an interest in cosplay, 9.9% answered they would like to try, 8.3% had actually tried it, and 28.5% were interested in watching it but not cosplaying themselves, making for a total of 46.7% with an interest.
However, amongst women the numbers were higher, with 13.6% interested in trying, and 14.7% actually having tried it. Younger women were even more interested, with 15.8% wanting to try amongst those in their twenties.
17.5% of those interested listed anime and manga as the theme of cosplay they would most like to undertake, after which came kigurumi (almost certainly referring to cartoon character suits) with 14.7%, maid and waitress uniforms (12.4%) and military uniforms (also 12.4%).
Top anime subjects for cosplay were Haruhi, Fullmetal Alchemist, as well as visual-kei bands like L’Arc en Ciel.
Although many Japanese women are quick to condemn men for having an interest in anime-related cosplay, it seems many are interested in trying themselves…

The Democratic Party of Japan, Japan’s leftist opposition party, seems intent on continuing its long history as an opposition party, having announced that it will “solve” Japan’s impending economic collapse under the weight of an unrealistically generous pension system by raising income taxes for all Japanese by a staggering 15%.
The plan, part of their election manifesto, would see a uniform 15% increase in income taxes (disguised as a pension plan) across all of Japan’s already hard pressed workers, irrespective of earnings; the cash would apparently be earmarked for squandering by Japan’s rapidly growing elderly population.
The policies favoured by the ruling coalition are more concerned to avoid any further strangulation of Japan’s fragile economy with excessive taxation, and center on reductions in the amount of pensions payable, though there is some doubt they have the capability to undertake serious reform.
It seems no matter what incompetence the LDP is capable of mustering, the opposition parties are capable of worse, a pattern which seems set to ensure the LDP’s almost uninterrupted 50 year reign is to continue…

A doctor has been arrested and subjected to a disciplinary hearing after it was revealed he manipulated the prescription of a female patient in order to addict her to the drugs and force her to become his sexual plaything, reducing the dosage should she resist him. He also had sex with another patient and an employee.
The doctor, a general practitioner at a practice in the city of Hull in northern England, began treating a married lady known only as “Patient B” for her depression, a hearing at the body regulating the nation’s doctors heard.
His treatment of her soon took an unconventional direction:
”She quite candidly admits that she was addicted to the medication she was prescribed and felt that [the doctor concerned] had complete control and said, on more than one occasion, that if she didn’t come into the surgery to see him and didn’t engage in sexual activity with him that he would either stop her drugs altogether or lower the dosage.”
Patient B apparently had sex with the doctor on numerous occasion, both at her home and his surgery.
His womanising antics did not stop there; he was also found to had an affair with “Patient A,” a grandmother (presumably a young one) with four daughters who reported having sex with the doctor at the surgery whilst her husband waited outside to be a “great buzz.”
The doctor even paid a visit to her in hospital whilst his own wife was recovering from surgery in the same hospital.
His regular home visits soon exposed his antics with this lady.
He also had an affair with an employee at the practice, carried off without incident it seems.
Both patients would make accusations, causing the doctor to be arrested for suspected rape and sexual assault, but police in the end brought no charges.
The General Medical Council would have none of his antics however, and launched its own disciplinary proceedings against him.
The doctor denies any wrongdoing.

Virtual idol Hatsune Miku has given her first live performance, being rapturously received by an audience of 25,000.
The performance was held at major anime music event Animelo Summer Live.
The preview for Black Rock Shooter’s upcoming anime adaptation was also shown…
Songs included classics MikuMiku ni Shite Ageru and Black Rock Shooter.
Added to her chart-topping albums and singles, this certainly makes Miku a formidable force.
2ch is generally scathing of such a performance by a virtual personage, but clearly those in attendance were delighted.
The distinction between real and virtual idols hardly seems tenable when we consider the almost complete fabrication which goes into creating a traditional 3D idol, with painstaking application of advertising, image management, dubbing, makeup, plastic surgery, and Photoshop enhancement all ensuring the end result bears very little resemblance to the “real” person.
Possibly this is set to become merely a question of visual style…
Microsoft has responded to the findings that the Xbox 360 has a 54% failure rate with in a way which raises more questions than it answers…
An MS PR flack glosses over the failure rate, only saying that they have a good warranty and are trying to improve the design:
“Microsoft stands behind the Xbox 360 as a superior entertainment console with one of the best warranties in the industry. We are constantly improving the design, manufacture and performance of the console through extensive testing of potential sources of any problems.
Xbox 360 is pleased to maintain the title of ‘most played console’ and the vast majority of Xbox 360 customers have enjoyed a terrific gaming and entertainment experience since their first day, and continue to, day in and day out.”
Curiously, they don’t dispute the 54% failure rate itself…

A 13-year-old schoolboy has attempted suicide after being caught lifting the skirt of a schoolgirl.
The boy, a middle-schooler in Kyoto, apparently lifted the up the skirt of a high schooler, and was subsequently disciplined by being subjected to “lifestyle guidance” in the school’s counselling room.
This apparently proved too much, for the moment the teacher left the room, he ran out of the room and threw himself down a third floor stairwell.
Surprisingly, he survived, though critically injured with a fractured skull and other injuries.

In an unrelated incident, for unknown reasons a schoolboy recently doused himself in kerosene and set fire to himself, burning to death…
Shocked passengers on a New York subway train were treated to a striptease and pole dance in the middle of the carriage.
The exhibitionism is carefully packaged as “performance art,” and since the stripper (or “actress”) is an attractive female nobody really minds.
Orchestrator Zach Haiman (visible getting his money shots of the stripper in these shots) observes that “Photographing females in public is easier than males; people see a naked woman and they smile,” rather than run screaming in the case of a male.
Exposure maniacs might take a leaf out of Haiman’s book, as he has so far evaded arrest despite carefully documenting his crimes. The excuse he uses is “We all have these parts – it’s one of the unifying aspects of being human.”

A man has been arrested for a series of attacks in which he forced himself into the mouths of a number of female victims, explaining that they were substitutes for the girl he was going to marry.
The 37-year-old man, a student resident in Tokyo, was arrested on charges of assault after he shoved his fingers into the mouth of a 16-year-old schoolgirl on a train.
Police explain the details of the case:
His fingers, in her mouth?
The incident took place late one morning at Shinkiba station, in a stationary train. A man sat next to a 16-year-old schoolgirl suddenly plunged his fingers into her mouth; he didn’t get far, but he injured her lips a little.
He was caught immediately?
The man sat next to him went to catch him and he ran off. The guy chasing him told station staff, and they got him at the ticket gates.
Why did he do something like this?
He’s saying “I was dumped by the person I was going to marry in my twenties.” I have no idea what that has to do with sticking your fingers in someone’s mouth, but he’s also running his mouth about his victim being some kind of double for his girlfriend.
Any other charges?
Actually, there are seven cases of this on this line. There are other cases too. The guy is saying “I did it other times,” so we are checking it out.
You treating this as another chikan incident?
That’s a difficult one. But we can’t say his motive was obscene. The charges are causing injury. He wasn’t feeling her up or anything.
What kind of man is he?
A normal, serious type of guy. He lives alone with his parents. After working and studying he was set to enter university again this spring.
Via ZakZak.
Less kind victims would surely have given him a lasting reminder of why such behaviour is unwise…

A man has been arrested for chasing down two women and flinging his own excrement at them, explaining that he had no female friends and was annoyed at work.
The 39-year-old construction worker, a resident of Osaka, drove past a woman on his bike one night, flinging his own previously prepared excrement into her face. A similar attack had occurred previously.
Soon he would turn himself in and be charged with assault, explaining that “I was pissed off at work. I didn’t have any female friends.”
All is revealed in an interview with an officer involved with the case:
There were no injuries but this was horrible!
About 01:00, a 20-year-old woman was returning from her part-time job. A bike drove past her, and the rider threw the excrement he was holding at her head.
Did he hit?
Yeah. Sadly, he got her splat in the face. He was coming past her, so it was more from the side than straight on.
Just where on earth did he put this excrement!?
It looks like he got it from an outdoor bowel movement he had just before the attack. He just held it in his left hand, got on his bike, found a random woman and threw it in her face.
He threw it with his hand…
It was probably big and hard enough to get a good grip on.
How did you catch him?
The woman before also reported an attack. Soon after he showed up at the station, and admitted everything saying “I can’t run any more.” He admits it all.
What was his motive?
He’s saying “I was pissed off at work.” We’re on the look out for bag snatchers riding bikes, but for something like this to happen, well…

A new Afghan law allows men to withhold food from recalcitrant wives if they refuse to have sex.
The law, a sop to the nation’s Shia minority, originally legalised rape within marriage, forcing women to have sex with their husbands at least once every four days, as well as eliminating the need for a wife to actually consent to sex.
Progressive elements within the nation and all civilised nations without it condemned it as being barbarously oppressive, and the Afghan president relented and opted to revise the law.
However, the revised version, which quietly passed into law, is seen as almost as bad, as it allows a husband to starve his female slave if she has the temerity to refuse his lusts, and also requires the woman to have permission from her husband in order to work.
Afghanistan’s western puppet president was supposed to be promoting civilisation and development, but observers say he is attempting to court Islamist conservatives in order to assure his election victory.

The dread Red Ring of Death has long been a feature of Xbox 360 ownership, but a recent survey reveals the shocking truth: the console boasts a failure rate of 54.2%, compared to 10.6% for the PS3 and 6.8% for the Wii.
Microsoft of course never releases statistics on its returns rate, so it has taken a third party survey to uncover the apparent rate. In this case, rag Game Informer surveyed 5,000 readers, asking them about the failure rates of the consoles they owned.
Microsoft’s notorious customer support and warranty system (the subject of a class action lawsuit which forced them to extend Xbox 360 warranties) also come in for criticism: the average turnaround for one of the broken consoles was nearly a month, whilst Nintendo and Sony managed a week. Satisfaction with Microsoft’s support was also a good deal less than with the others.
However, Microsoft’s blasé attitude to the pathetic reliability of its console appears justified: only 3.8% of Xbox 360 owners would never buy another Xbox because of failure.

A mother and her daughter have been arrested after instigating the 5 hour gang rape of a schoolgirl.
The incident unfolded one afternoon in Fukuoka, in an apartment belonging to a freeter. There a number of other young freeters would congregate, as well as a 41-year-old umemployed woman and her daughter (16), along with another 16-year-old schoolgirl, all known to one another.
During one of these gatherings the woman took exception to the schoolgirl, “not liking her attitude”, and took a kitchen knife and threatened the girl in order to “teach her a lesson” – the girl had apparently hit back after being struck, so punishment was felt necessary.
Taking their cue, the six men present joined in, and started kicking and beating the girl, seriously injuring her.
They soon progressed to raping the girl, in an ordeal which would last 5 hours. The mother lost heart at some point after seeing a girl the same age as her own daughter being violated before her eyes, and called police in order to stop the outrage.
Police arrived and immediately arrested the youths, along with the mother.
Those present, including the mother and her daughter, have variously been charged with assault, rape and gang rape.

Additionally, the C76 cosplay has been getting sexier and sexier, for some reason....
A survey of Japanese men’s masturbatory habits reveals that most appear possessed of a pathetic libido, with a shocking 7% refusing onanism entirely.
The small scale survey was conducted on the readers of men’s magazine Men’s Non-No:
“How often do you do ‘solo-H’?”
Never!: 7%
Once every one to three months: 4%
Once every two weeks: 7%
Once or twice a week: 26%
Three to four times a week: 32%
Five or six times a week: 12%
More than seven times a week: 12%
Considering statistics generally show Japanese men to not get terribly much sex, the most optimistic interpretation, that they are too busy having sex, seems unlikely. The magazine asked to be sure, and found 60% of the men with girlfriends (less than half of them) had sex roughly once a week.
The most hopeful interpretation would probably be that the readers of the rag in question are the sort of effete types beloved of Japanese women, but again it is hard to be sure of this.
More pressingly, this rather raises the question of just what they are doing with all that porn…
Haruhi marketing rag Newtype promises a “major” Haruhi announcement in its coming issue, which hopeful Haruhi-ists have immediately speculated means a new season (which would almost inevitably include “Disappearance”) or at the very least a movie; more sober calculus suggests to some that this is merely another piece of abusive marketing for some trifle…

“Something is going to happen! Look forward to it!” is their promise.
The rag goes on sale on the 17th, so doubtless it will be leaked and either defiantly shredded or covered in grateful fluids by 2ch before then.
With Newtype being the loyal tool of Kadokawa in all its marketing shenanigans, who knows what the announcement will constitute; the Endless Eight movie perhaps…
A lolicon has been sentenced to 17 years for attempting to seduce young girls online; however, he never succeeded in chatting to a real girl at all, instead chatting to a succession of undercover police officers.
The man, a resident of Indiana, hankered after young girls and so tried to arrange real life sexual encounters in likely sounding chat-rooms.
His first effort, in 2006, succeeded in striking up an incriminating conversation with “13-year-old girl” Amanda_13, actually an undercover police officer attempting to entrap any lolicon hapless enough to stumble into such a chatroom.
Soon he persuaded her to meet with him for sex, but when he showed up for the rendezvous he was instead greeted by a police snare.
Secret Service officers soon searched his computer, discovering chat logs of him talking to supposed minors, aged 13 and 15.
After convicting him, the secret service finally realised that “daisy13_Indiana” was in fact one of its own agents, prompting the lolicon’s defence to appeal on the grounds of entrapment.
The judges reviewing the appeal then recognised the name of the other girl he had been chatting with, “blonddt,” as being yet another undercover officer from an earlier investigation.
“To our surprise, the government was unaware until this panel told it at oral argument that the other screen name, blonddt, was also an officer from the Indiana operation.”
The courts upheld the conviction anyway, holding that the chat logs amply demonstrated he was hunting for loli sex.
His sentence of 17.5 years, along with a lifetime of state supervision, has been upheld.
He apparently never chatted with a real underage girl at all, perhaps demonstrating that such chat-rooms are now the exclusive haunts of lolicon and police alone.

A married otaku fan of eroge classic Kana: Little Sister had some explaining to do after his wife found out that he had named their daughter “Kana,” after the girl from the game, not after some a character from classical literature as he had claimed…
The man apparently harboured a great respect for adult game classic 加奈 〜いもうと〜 / Kana: Imouto (available in English), and when he learnt his child was to be a girl, he knew “I had no other choice but to call her Kana.”
Since his wife had dibs on naming the child if it was a boy, he was able to name her Kana, telling his wife it was from a book he had read in which “Kana” was a “wonderful, good little girl.”
However, he had kept the game’s box underneath his keyboard, and his wife happened upon it and realised his deception.
When he returned he was confronted, and soon had to explain himself to his wife and both his and her parents; since they had no idea what an “eroge” was, he was forced to play it in front of them.
We do not hear what the results of this encounter were, but his rather optimistic speculation on 2ch was “Perhaps they’ll be so moved by it they will forgive me?”
2ch was naturally in its element in helping/excoriating him:
“Poor Kana-chan.”
“Just say your daughter’s name came first, and you bought the game because it excited you.”
“That’s sheer genius.”
“It’s sheer perversion.”
“What’ll you tell her when she has to find out her name’s etymology at school?”
“I was intending to give my daughter an ancient name too: Haruhi. Sadly, I couldn’t. I’m jealous of your bravery!”
“It’s a good name, he should be given a break. Just because it’s from a 2D work is no reason to scorn it.”
“If his daughter finds out she might kill herself.”
“I wonder what a classmate’s reaction would be to an ‘Izumi Konata’ in the class. Well, I’m a virgin anyway, so…”
“Why was I named after a character from a BL manga? She told me it was a character from a manga she liked…”
“I was going to call my daughter Fuuko, but my wife watches anime and so when Clannad came out I had to change it. Now I will call her Fuuka so I’m safe.”
“In 15 years there will be a lot of Miku about…”
“My damn wife called my daughter ‘Mikaeru,’ what a stupid name! She said if it was a boy she’d call him ‘Lucifer’, what…”
“Divorce.”
“It’s a great game so it’ll be safe!”
Questionable naming practices have been all the rage in Japan for some time now…

Clearly, Miyazaki’s latest film Ponyo continued its massive sales run, bolstered by the huge numbers of mainstream commoners who adore Studi Ghibli’s films.
The next spot goes to an otaku-only title, Vol. 2 of the Pizza Hut-loving Warring States action series Sengoku Basara, which pulled in a respectable 7,642 units in its first week on sale.
The DVD boxset of Tekkaman Blade (a classic 1992 TV series) managed to climb to the #3 spot, despite costing around $300, certainly an impressive feat.
The most obvious observation to be made from the rest of the list is the popularity of the various re-released Gundam movies, all as part of the classic mecha series’ 30th Anniversary celebrations, heralded by the giant 1/1 scale Gundam statue.
Fan-favorite Char’s Counterattack, regarded by some to be among the, if not the, best mecha films of all time, being the most popular amongst these is obvious, although the ranking of the 3 First Gundam compilation movies might be odd…
The extraordinarily sharp falloff of anime DVD sales after the first week or so of sales is well displayed by the placements of the popular Haruhi-chan DVD 3 (released 07/31) coming in at #14 and the best selling all-time TV anime release K-ON! Vol. 1 (released 07/29) at the #20 spot.

A man is pressing charges against a woman he is accused of raping, accusing her of not informing him she had HIV.
The man apparently had sex with the woman at his residence in Helsingborg, Sweden, after the pair took a taxi there.
She alleges he lured her back to his apartment with a promise to give her the fare, then raped her. She allegedly begged him to use a condom, but he refused, and only relented and released her when she told him her children were waiting for her.
He alleges she was a prostitute who he drunkenly paid the equivalent of $500 to have sex with, and only pressed charges against him to avoid charges stemming from potentially having infected him with HIV, as she was HIV positive.
The man has not been confirmed as being infected.

A man who pretended to be disabled so he could trick a female store employee into manipulating his genitals whilst he relieved himself has been arrested.
The man, a 31-year-old who worked with the disabled, visited a Mie prefecture convenience store, where he importuned a female employee (30): “I can’t use my hands so I’d like you to help me relieve myself.” Whilst doing so he pretended to be unable to use his hands.
The employee dutifully assisted him, holding his penis for him whilst he relieved himself.
However, she soon thought something was amiss when the man started using his hands, and then drove off in his car. She subsequently reported the incident to police.
For his part, he denies any wrongdoing: “I just had her help me go to the toilet.”
Police have charged him with indecent assault.

Idol and occasional seiyuu Aya Hirano will be playing the role of デンデ / Dende, a young Namekian, in upcoming episodes of the newly remastered Dragonball Kai.
As the original seiyuu who played Dende, 鈴木富子 / Tomiko Suzuki, regrettably passed away in 2003 due to a heart attack, a new seiyuu was obviously required to perform in the show’s new vocal recordings.
While Hirano’s fame amongst otaku seems reason enough for her selection in the cast, it still has come off as quite a surprise online, especially as Hirano has mostly not done the typical young-boy roles female seiyuu so typically perform.

A Saudi businessman has commissioned the creation of a $50,000 diamond encrusted gold “penis enlarger,” the most expensive ever produced.
The man, identified only as an inhabitant of the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah, commissioned the device specially from Canadian penis rack producer X4 Labs, who claim their products can increase the length of the male member.
Their “medically certified” penis extenders normally retail for a few hundred dollars, but the buyer in this case supposedly had a “a severe skin allergy to stainless steel” and so needed a solid gold device.
We do not hear whether he had a medical excuse for needing to have the device encrusted with dozens of diamonds and rubies. His request saw the makers cooperating with a local jeweller.
The company admits it was sceptical at first: “It’s an unusual request. We didn’t take it seriously at first, but once he sent us a deposit, we had to agree to it. Obviously, there were giggles initially when we presented our project to a jeweller and asked him for help.”
Since Saudi Arabia is a medieval dictatorship, importing sex toys is strictly banned, so the company gets round this by calling the penis stretchers medical devices.
The order appears to have gone to the heads of the penis rack hawkers; they say they are “convinced that there is a demographic that is willing to pay for lavish medical devices for their private areas, to pay good money to spoil themselves.”
“There is something tremendously selfish about the male ego, and subsequently $50,000 orders may become the norm for companies like X4 Labs,” is the rather optimistic claim.
Expect to see offers for ruby encrusted penis enlargers gracing millions of inboxes in short order.

There can be little doubt that Sony is clearing its supply chain in anticipation of a new lineup, which will presumably incorporate the rumoured and nearly orderable PS3 Slim, and presumably an updated base unit (as it seems unlikely the Slim would support much in the way of a price cut).
Do you sometimes suspect your parents don't understand you enough?
YAMETE!!!!!
KIMURA-SENSEI!!!!!
........no time left......
Satellite crash.
Random title. anyway.
A man has been arrested for groping the rear of a five-year-old girl, offering in his admission of guilt “It can’t be helped.”
The man, a 25-year-old graduate student living in Kyushu, apparently approached the little girl and started touching her one evening.
He was quickly arrested and admitted the crime to police, saying “It can’t be helped.” He was charged with indecent assault.
......okay.
Whee!!!! I get to post post POST!!!!
Strange stories have been popping up in my head, and nearly all of them ends with satellites.
We can but wonder what the object of this maniac’s obsessions would say about his celebrating her birthday in such a manner.
Unusually strong obsession with a 2D character may be common amongst anime otaku, but whatever impact a shelf full of identical figures has seems to pale in comparison to that of a whole room plastered with photographs of an idol, and the kind of antics which go with it…
Possibly this amount of money spent on securing the company of a real woman, long-term or otherwise, might have reasonable results?
Right...anyway. As i was saying before i was interrupted......
The water soluble “revenge bikini” below is currently earning the approval of 2ch, though it is not clear many of them will have a girlfriend to avenge themselves upon, or even a female acquaintance willing to accept their gifts…
The ephemeral swimwear promises to fall to pieces after 3 minutes of contact with water, severely inconveniencing the wearer. The bikini itself is on sale currently.
SHUT UP!! I'm trying to talk here. Anyway
SATA ANDAGI......
