...Except they hardly even seem to card people in Japan, if EVER. Hell, I bought hentai manga and doujinshi in Japan back when I was 13 years old. They even have beer/cigarette vending machines...

so it's clear that there is tons of straight porn for adult day-but what happens if you hanker after the gay kind?

I never knew that masturbation was part of the adulthood passage ritual. SPECIALLY masturbation to japanese adult games that CAN be about animated underage sex.

@icepick314: Under17 originally did Akihabara street performances (That is why Halko Momoi is called the Queen of Akihabara) and eroge OPs. Yea they broke up a few years ago and they no longer use the name and Halko Momoi no longer does eroge OPs. Now she does singing and voice acting, her last big role was being the heroine in Seto no Hanayome.

Hilarious! "Full adulthood" = wanking off in front of a PC. Isn't 20 years old high-friggin'-time you moved AWAY from your computer and maybe got acquainted with, you know, the opposite (or not) sex?

@Taiyz:
UNDER17 from back in the days broke up few years ago...if Haruko Momoi is still using that name, then it's just her...and whatever backup band she's with...

i've never known UNDER17 doing music for eroge...this is certainly new to me...

and nothing says you're a MAN like playing Japanese eroge!!!

Actually, the thing that makes this REALLY funny is that it's written in haiku form. (hence the spaces, and the last line goes one syllable over, as noted in the parentheses)

You have to appreciate porn waxing poetic.

@cybereality & @homerj: UNDER 17 is a Japanese band, I assume they're responsible for the game's opening or ending theme(s.)

The best part is that it's a haiku, although they note that there's one too many syllables (it's 5-7-6).

@cybereality:

It's a Japanese "adult" game, so that's probably referring to the girls IN the game.

No, sex usually doth a child make.

Then again, they tend to turn out as adults in the end. Physically, at least.

@Onizuka-GTO: I blame those horny old men. They DO dominate the government...

Now this is just disgusting. "Buy an adult game, become an adult." Sex and more sex doth not an adult make.

@Kaedex:
Actually, I heard the age of consent in Japan can range from as little as 13 years old to 18 years old depending on the region.

You'd think they would give away a free box of tissues with it but nope...

Turning into an adult kinda sux though, everything illegal I did in my teenage years all of a sudden turn legal and it's less fun.

Imagine if Adult shops here in the states had a "coming of age sale." How much of a fallout do you think THAT would create? Japan really fascinates me, can't wait to get there one day.

Hikikomori — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 05:20:36 MST

If I'm partially at adulthood, I wonder what true full adulthood feels like. Of course, that would mean I'd have to buy their adult game. Clever marketing ploy.

setuzoku — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 05:14:12 MST

IN Japan, the definition of Adult is complex, such as;
16 = Motorcycle license. Girls can marry
18 = Car license. Adult-only goods allowed. Boys can marry.
20 = Voting. Contract without parent's consent. Drink. Smoke.
