Oh dear... only in Japan eh?

Hold on 3am post? What time is it in Japan? Also I forgot to ask, but when's the baby due?

These guys must hate their jobs now. ;p

I'm surprised there wasn't a riot, a sexy riot.

oh my

Cool uniforms. They look like cosplayers.

I want one.

I think it's every journalist's dream to set up a certain joke.

Ashcraft, you finally got to use the words "butt patrol."
Congratulations.

I was lead to believe there was ass.
Where's the ass?

Funny title for the post. I was about to call those cops "Colonel Mustang"

@theTOMSTA666: hit the links

You've gotta wonder how many calls the police had been getting to have some higher up declare officers on panty patrol. I honestly doubt those officers are any happier walking around there than you are with them being there... although it probably beats actual work.

Japan is one very odd country, that's for sure.

Cops hare a valuable service. I bet other areas are jealous. Theres a market here to be made: "Show a sex idol on your street, double the police protection!"

Crack showing indeed. But whats more interesting is the magic technology on that NSFW site

Yet go down almost any alley in Akihabara, or even down a single flight of steps into any basement, and see far, far worse things on posters and flyers. Go figure.

@Captain Impulse: Those are usually in shop windows that are made to sell ADULT ITEMS, where as in the public street in most countries its a no-no to perform lewd actions.

Not a real brain buster there pal.

So knock it off with the snarky shit.

Kudos for the Laughing Man collage, BAsh!

@Shiryu: Its not Bash, if you clicked the link he provided you would see the Akiba blog always does that to folks faces.

In front of "Club Sega", nice! :D

BRB watching Ghost in the Shell.

Though I am not suprised by this... it is a pretty radical thing to do without proper security. Especially for a 'singer'. Way to attract the crazies... I wonder what her "live concert" is going to be like.

Nevermind, no I don't, bet I guessed already.

I wouldn't mind being on butt patrol. I WOULD mind putting a stop to unsanctioned flashing, mind.

I never knew japanese police wore spanky blue suits!

man...i miss Tokyo...

Misawa is too cold for public ass displays....

The quote from the article on the flashing singer is priceless , "Who'd want to see a hags pussy." . Who indeed?

@Witzbold: that's so awesome. I loves me some GITS: SAC.

@Witzbold: I was just in a store two weeks ago in Akihabara (can't remember the name; some 7-story deal, sold a lot of art books on the first floor) where the adult flyers were in plain view just inside the doorway, essentially wallpapering the stairwell down. You could see them from the street if you approached from the left. I'm not being snarky, just calling it as I saw it.

Doesn't this have less to do with the girls and more to do with the idiots last week that supposedly went running around akihabara with airsoft rifles shooting people around?

Either way, I believe they still have much better things they could be doing to occupy their time.

@muu: ...or perhaps a certain psychopath running around randomly stabbing people. The Japanese media has been attempting to attribute it to video games, so your average otaku is probably not looked upon favorably by the Japanese authorities. They've been "cracking down" on otaku more and more lately (remember the random bag check article from a few months ago?)

Only in Japan...

Screw arse flashing, surely the Tokyo police should be concentrating on finding the Laughing Man.

OK, so German police officers don't really have the most awesome uniforms either, but if I'd be in Japan, I'd have a real hard time to NOT think that are cosplayers... o.0;

I always thought the Japanese uniform would some sort of black and white thing.

Do all those people have vaginas on their faces?

I'll be in Tokyo on the 24th of May for 5 days i wonder what delights await

@FranUnFine: Actually those 2 guys look more like a private security company guards rather than police. Although that does sorta look like the motorcycle police uniforms.

The regular street cops wear a darker navy color. Usually when dealing with crowd control they wear an extra vest over the uniform that has police written on the back in Japanese. As shown in a different picture via the link.

@Witzbold: Sure they're not anime riot specific cops? lol

@Witzbold:

Haha, a bit snippy today, are we witz?

Man, having a job like that must be fun - until you have to explain yourself to relatives. "Yeah, I have to make sure girls don't get naked in the street. Yeah, it's serious business."

The laughing man has returned? Neato!

Why do they gotta ruin everyones fun?

She showed more than just her tush! Holialicadabra!

Big whoop. Ive been on Ass Patrol the better part of 15 years and havent received any attention for it. One case that was dismissed, but thats about it.

Ashcraft, you should really take the time to proofread your posts.

"No wonder last Sunday, when girls in maid outfits (and other costumes) sing, dance and stand in the Akiba streets and sidewalks..."

A little past-tense verb action never hurt anyone.

Those are their uniforms? They look like exaggerated police uniforms. At first I thought they were cosplayers.

I thought her ass looked pretty good. I don't see what the big deal is?

Get Section 9 on the case, that's what I say.

Seems sort of stupid that you need cops to make sure that no one shows off their ass in public.

It's just a bum... geeez.

Crack is wack.

Those were some cute undies, I gotta get me a pair~

They have an ass patrol in Akibahara. LOL priceless!

I love Japan even more now.

Wow, lots of crackdowns in Akiba lately it seems. Anyone there to help keep otaku from being mugged, or do they just come there to look busy?

don't they have better things to do like prevent gropers on the subway?

( I mmustt... resist.. obvius......)

I think the people of Akiba will appreciate more female agents.

Those are the stupidest most pathetic looking uniforms i have EVER seen.Look at those boots.Makes B movie costumes look awesome.

hey its club sega!

ass police, they dont fuck around.

I want to be part of the butt patrol squad, except i may just incidentally let all the butt flashers flash...
