Eh, they just got a lolita culture.  Deal with it.

Disagree, IMO Japan doesn't focus on youth anymore than anyother country.

So you haven't notice how old and adult women are speaking like little girls in Japan? How many pop stars are little kids that moan in their music while the audience are nearly all male adults. That there was or still is a lot of compensated dating between young Japanese females and old men.

So you see no correlation between what's happening in Japan and 80% of child porn sites originating from Japan?

Last time I check, it's not normal for adult women in the US to speak like little children. Not common for girl pop stars to have adult male audience. Very rare to hear about compesated dating between young teens and older adults. Maybe that's why we're not big on child porn sites here?

Speaking like little girls in what sense?
Moaning in their music.........again in what sense............I'd need to hear a clip to know exactly what you're talking about.
Because a lot of young Japanese females are after the old guys money

Japan isn't the US so its pointless making comparisons between speech.
Tough, Baby Vox in Korea have god knows how many male fans.
Compensated dating isnt rare, in the US you have the whole jailbait thing, in the UK we dont, its not particularly uncommon here.

In what sense? Do u not know how a little girls talk like ? Do you not know how moaning sounds like?  Baby Vox is a group that look like grown women!!! Many Japanese pop stars who are only like 8 freaking years old who moans and the whole audience are males.

All that alone, I wouldn't argue with, but when I hear that 80% of child porn originate from Japan, it makes me think. Does that not make you think?

Example, if a guy is into childish things...so what. Then when he has child porn....don't ya think he' might be on the pedo side?

At least explain to me why 80% of child porn originate from Japan then? You don't see any correlation child porn and Japan's culture?

Disagreeing with you in turn.
Although I don't agree with the opening post about the music etc. Child pornography is a problem in Japan to an extent not experienced in other countries.

There just doesn't seem to be enough of a social stigma attached.

ichi the killer is thge sort of movie that will most certainly be boycotted in a lot of countries around the world. but in japan, movies like that are very common. its a culture of violence & exploitation of women, it seems like.

Yeah I do but I havent noticed much moaning by itself, more the high pitched squealing/moaning 
Baby Vox didn't always look like grown women

Obviously if he has child porn he's a paedo, thats just a stupid question.
Very little, I'd say the correlation is more likely to be between the 'art' photos they take of young actresses/models as opposed to anything you mentioned.

Also considering you are using a figure from 1998 I highly doubt its still the same

It's a figure from 1998, but it is maybe one of the most comprehensive and lates study. Still, since 1999, though they had legislation to crack down, Japan is still a major producer. U actually think child porn originating from Japan fallen since then? If anything, it probably flourished.

Japan has a very perverted entertainment industry and it's very widespread and I doubt it's reflects differently in child porn stats.

Still, at least I gave you stats...what have you given me? Your own opinion!

I feel sad that there are ppl who think like you. All these little 8-11 yrs old girls being pop stars, dressing cute, moaning in an audience of all males...and you see nothing wrong with it? What are you, a pedo?

This why child sex tourism and pornography flourish, becuz ppl like you see nothing wrong with it.

First of all 1998.  Do you remember 1998?  Half the people in the US didn't know how to email back then!  Alot has changed.

Secondly, Olsen Twins.

This week from CyberAngels

We're seeing progress in the battle against child pornography on the 'Net. Japan is key to that progress. Last week we sent Parry Aftab, CA's executive director, the following brief report from the AOP Bulletin, asking for her perspective on it (Parry is part of an international committee appointed by UNESCO to combat cybercrimes against children).

From the AOP Bulletin: "In the face of significant international criticism, Japan is moving to pass laws banning child pornography. With no such laws in place, Japan has been a haven for as many as 1,200 Web sites carrying kiddie porn. The new law will be considered by the Japanese Diet (Japan's legislature) as early as this summer."

Parry's comment:
"Recently the Japanese police have begun to crack down on cybercrimes in Japan. A Japanese woman was murdered by someone who ordered cyanide over the Internet last year. Cyberstalking and harrassment is up as well. The Japanese police have announced the formation of a special task force of 31 volunteer citizen groups in Japan, and Guardian Angels [CyberAngels's parent organization] was selected to join it. CyberAngels will help train the task force and Japanese citizen groups. (Guardian Angels has three chapters in Japan, and is growing rapidly to include a fourth.)

"The world law enforcement community will be watching this task force closely because Japan has become a worldwide center for online child pornography. This is largely due to the fact that Japan has no criminal laws against child pornography. Because Japanese obscenity laws require the display of pubic hair, which younger children do not have, the most heinous of all abuses of children exploits this loophole in Japanese law.

"The world's child-pornography production and distribution industry has taken advantage of this loophole, putting its child pornography sites on Japanese servers. Though a recent report put the number of child pornography sites served from Japan at approximately 1,200, Cyberangels's and SOC-UM's Net Patrol teams, which search out child pornography sites around the world for law enforcement action, believe that number is much higher. More than a third of all child pornography sites they find are housed in Japan, and each site can have hundreds of images. (These are not the 'teen sites' advertised - most of the children are under 10 years old.)

"A recent television documentary and various news reports on CyberAngels have been aired on Japanese TV over the last month, as well as a series of newspapers articles written by a leading law-enforcement journalist in Japan. These reports have touched on how the global child pornography industry has abused Japanese hospitality. Tough child pornography laws are now being proposed there. Hopefully, the laws will be adopted and the Internet community will be able to count on Japan to join in the worldwide fight to stop the sexual abuse of children. We could use their help!

"I've been appointed by UNESCO to help setup a worldwide tipline for cybercrimes, and a helpline for children who have been sexually abused. If you're interested in joining in the fight against child pornography online, drop by the cyberangels.org site and volunteer for Net Patrol."

now im not saying japan is more justified. i do think they have a lot of cleaning up to do. they used to have kogal (sp?) that was popular in the 90s where young girls as young as 6th grade will sell themselves to older men for a hefty price. definitely not the majority though. BUT there was an anti-kogal group. where these girls pretended to be selling themselves but instead a whole group of girls who beat the guy up  2   

again. not restricted to japan. but still they need to clean it up. that goes for other countries.

Japanese watch a lot of porn, they are very healthy lol.
