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?

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.

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.

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."

@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.

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.

@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?)

muu — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 05:35:04 MDT

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.

@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.

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.

@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.

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.

JonathanStrange — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 03:34:08 MDT

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.
