@dead_red_eyes: Purple is quite alright by me...In fact it's one of my more favored colors...

JohnnytheFuture

Aww man, I rarely go to Akiba, and finally I decided to make a trip out there on Saturday. Should've gone on Sunday, apparently!

landonkun

I'd love to hear the lead in for an ass display in the middle of an interview:

"Yes, the album is being edited and will be in stores in two weeks. Now is the time on Sprockets when I hike my skirt up. These cheeks be white so set your f-stop accordingly, boys...WHOOSH!"

Phaelog

@Faradin: As crazy as she may be refering to her as a "bitch" is a no-no mate.

Witzbold

I've never been to Japan, but I have to wonder what women on the beaches wear? Are there no beaches?

She's flashing opaque panties, less scandalous things are on primetime television in the U.S., and Europeans consider Americans prudish about sex. From the size of the crowds for this mild flashing, Japanese males must be ready to explode...

Balius

Yay, lovely way to start a working week !

Thanks kotaku. :)

Cham

Ingredients for Pandemonium (Japan-style):

1 Voyeurist Woman
Thousands of Sex-starved men
2 TV News Crews

Mix well in Akihabara environment, wait for word to get out. Enjoy results.

JohnnytheFuture

@Atheist Jew: You are so, so right. That's really quite disturbing!

Kazzahdrane

I'm impressed that it's a "civilized mob." Meaning (as far as I know) nobody tries to touch her or kidnap her or steal her clothes. Rather they just respectfully take pictures of her tush and then leave to give someone else a turn.

It's oddly remarkable.

Crisu

That is some serious exhibitionism there.

The_Inquisitor

People will do anything for publicity...

RTW

bascraft get me this lass's phone number

i have a business proposition for her

108

I knew she would be back! Asuka sure is crazy. A purple thong?! YUCK!

dead_red_eyes

I don't know what's worse, the fact that she enjoys showing off her nether regions in public (which really isn't such a bad thing, since she's not ugly), or that it looks like she's about to be gang-raped in every picture.

Atheist Jew

This is the funniest Kotaku headline I've seen in a while :D

Evil Jim

bitches be crazy

Faradin

In short: Something happened in Japan which caused more arousal.

Ryumeka

@AncientFlounder: - "Chick needs to get some ass on her before she starts to go off and flash it around."

LOL!!! Yeah, I too think that she suffers from no ass. Me ... I like big, round asses.

+ Watch video

dead_red_eyes

@zanzibarlegend: Before when her webpage gallery was working she would wear all sorts of racy stuff. So I guess she does it becuase she likes the attention and what better way to do it by flashing skin in Akiba.

Im guessing shes just trying to get "popular".

Her singing isnt anything that special so looks like shes trying to make up for it elsewhere.

Witzbold

@platinum: Kotaku. Gossip, news, leaks, and completely irrelevant shit for obsessive gamers.

Yahto

@zanzibarlegend:

I don't think it's a media exposure thing, I think she just likes showing off her stuff and the attention she gets from it. Here's what she had to say about the last ass flashing:

""I've always performed in sets of a live performance and photo shoot... I've been doing this stuff in Akihabara since July last year... I'm the most hated person in Akihabara... I can't help it if some people want to complain... And I'd say the warmer weather probably means I'll be showing even more skin than I have until now.""

[kotaku.com]

dead_red_eyes

Chick needs to get some ass on her before she starts to go off and flash it around.

AncientFlounder

@Witzbold: witz, im clueless why she does this. is it some kind of media exposure thing? color me confused.

zanzibarlegend

@Faradin:

You just keep putting that foot further into your mouth don't you?

dead_red_eyes

@platinum:

Kotaku.

Now without the k.

Otaku.

Need I be more in-depth?

badramen

I love random stories

Gambare

And why again is she showing her butt? Can't understand those Japanese interviews.
And to those who are complaining - Kotaku at night is to show us the mood and feeling of videogame culture in Japan. And the waste majority of those people standing around her are most certainly otakus. So there you go - a justification - quick, mindless and full with prejudices!

amadeus3000

@platinum: Aw, c'mon, have a little light-hearted fun. And it's not like this is some COMPLETELY random story. It's recurring from previous entries. Kotaku can't help that these get huge hit counts.

bangbangblah

Oh please way to be behind the times japan, britney spears does this like every other day. America owns!

Oh say can you see
by the dawns early light...

vincentprice

Seriously, why is this even worthy of a post here? I'm starting to feel shame visiting this site ... Living in germany we have bare titties on television everyday even in the afternoon so I'm by no means prude but lately every third post on this site seems to be either about boob-pillows, boob-figurines, boob-manga-games, or some japanes girls flashing their bits in schooluniforms!
It's one thing to post these stories to make fun of them but lately judging by the hitcounts of these "news"-items it seems to be driven by a "sex-sells" mentality which I can only pitty. This site used to be better than this.

platinum

and the asscheeks only come out when it's warm outside...

it's too damm cold for ass flash in Misawa...

icepick314

@Witzbold: uh....asians be crazy?

Faradin

I can think of at least 10000 things more worthy of a blog post than this.....at least you could have thrown in a pic of a woman with a real ass.

GoonieGooGoo

Her mother must be damn proud of her.

silkylove

Man, those guys are crazy for the butt-shot! Look at the pics on the Akiba Blog... They're zoomed right up in there!

Weird, yet hilarious.

Oh, and I would be zoomed right up in there too. Yeah.

Moridin

@Rokku-Ri:

It's kind of creepy too isn't it?

dead_red_eyes

I'm loving the use of the laughing man logo to cover up the faces.

Rokku-Ri

Thats a lot of fucking people for a few panty shots that you can easily find online. Oh well, I guess people enjoy these things when they can see it for their own eyes.

Still, look at that freaking crowd.

PAULINK

I don't really know what to think of this...

I will say this though. I hope those otakus keep there head on good shoulders and don't decide to do anything stupid.

--Core--

With all those cameras out, you'd think nobody's looked at a butt before and nobody will ever look at one again. I just clicked on the link by accident, thinking the post would be about a sequel to the incredible PC FPS title, Butt Flasher.

Sloopydrew

BUKAKE EVERYWHERE!!! LMAO!!!

This is one of those crazy types of porns where you have to be a weirdo to like... LMAO

What's wrong with her? attentioen seeker, much?

MySoul7

If a girl did that over here, no one would even stop to take a picture...
We'd just be like wtf is wrong with her?
Hmm must be a drugy, just ignore her..
Amsterdam FTW!

vln

well to be honest, after looking at the DVD's she's starred in.

Flashing her arse is quite tame and i dare say pretty much normal.

But i guess explicit DVD's of your favourite idol pales in comparison when she's only a couple of metres from you in the flesh.

:p

Onizuka-GTO

I really dig the way they placed The Laughing Man icon on top of the photografers and not her butt. seriously, Japan, what the hell?

Shiryu

They tried to ban her, eh?

Just goes to prove you can't legislate idiots.

mcderek3000

@Shiryu: My thoughts exactly, but that's japan for you.

Ajh

I'm movin' to Japan...

bigdonthedj

Poor undersexed japs. The world is a truly twisted beast.

coyotemoon722

It could be I'm just stoned, but I found the middle picture on the site strangely moving...

In a creepy "is this who we've become" kind of way.

Red Peter

lol what does this have to do with games exactly?

Trigga_Tybalt

@coyotemoon722: Do you think it is appropriate to refer to Japanese people that way?

As I was leaving for work this morning and wandering over to turn off the TV I saw the pictures above and a mosaic crotch all over the screen. After I stood there for 5 seconds trying to come to terms with what I was seeing in action I thought to myself 'Self, Bashcraft has you covered!'. If you weren't posting this stuff I wouldn't have made it to work on time!

@coyotemoon722: ohh that'll be a ban....you do know what day it is right?

excel_excel

Bah, thats completely safe for work....god dammit

excel_excel

I just realized that she's doing what the main character of Weather Woman and Weather Report Girl did to get attention... I always knew that would work.

eastx

At least it's a nice ass...

PapaBear434

There's the pic I was looking for!

[img444.imageshack.us]

Can't get it to appear next to my post, so just clicky.

PapaBear434

Wow, you won't see that in America.

KM91

one of the Japanese Hentai companies should just do a Hentai on this. start with this, divulge into a gang-scene and end with her CD going patinum.

Kaijumaster

Something is really wrong with that chic. Seriously. Not even a pornstar would go to this links to get recognized.

Black_Ops_19

Why is this article on Kotaku?

"Tagged:

AKIHABARA, CRIME, IDORU, MAXIMUM RISKY, ODDITIES, OTAKU, SEX"

No gaming related tags. This would be more appropriate on one of your sister sites, but not on Kotaku.

Edidid

This may seem tame to people, but if a marginally popular singer did this in Times Square or downtown LA you can bet your ass that sites like TMZ and Idolator would be all over it. It's a matter of public decorum; it may be acceptable to show off that much ctotch on a beach, but it is frowned uppon in a more urban setting. The connotations of a bathing suit and underwear are different as well; your suit may show off more than your underwear but it's meant to be seen, your underwear generally isn't.

Agies

@KM91: You'll see this anywhere there's crazy. What you probably wont see in America is the mob around her.

okenny :)

Mob mentality FTL. Seriously this is nasty in every way. It's not even sexy, it's just sad.

okenny :)

@cybereality: You forgot the most important part.

Street flashing = free.

Witzbold

All this for a bit of flesh? Come on, people. There are more important things.

Umandsf

You'd think all those guys could just go to a strip club or something. But I guess if I just happened to be shopping in the area, I'd probably join the crowd.

cybereality

If she had an ass, this might be somewhat interesting...

seafisch

@Black_Ops_19: I thought she was a pornstar. Her links to her DVDs on Amazon Japan on her site would suggest so!

Lemming

..... okay, that's it. I love the women, and their asses as well, of course, but this is just stupid. Even back in the day when I didn't get any, this type of sexual repression cannot possibly be unhealthy.

I mean, it's one thing to take a picture of a flashing lady, I'll admit that. However, it's entirely different for 500 people doing so. That's just beyond borderline creepy.

..... and I can't wait for twenty years from now to find out that a certain Japanese Diet member is facing a scandal for flashing on the street. Hilarious.

NoFunShogun

Haha what the F**k?

Woylez

@Edidid: Articles like this put the otaku in Kotaku

tofoomeister

@dead_red_eyes:

@Witzbold:

thx for the info. she's pretty brave if you ask me. you won't find any butt flashing in nyc at any time ofthe day,tha's for sure :P

zanzibarlegend

@Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc: STATEMENT OF WIN.

Kotaku should start covering Man-faye news. All these attractive asian ladies don't compare.

YUYU

[en.wikipedia.org]

....just plain sad.

Really, is she that insecure that she needs to be gawked at be hundreds of people. If she keeps doing that it's only a matter of time before some freak goes too far.

Frankly, it's scary enough that women can be onto a train in Japan without getting groped. Speaking for myself, and I am unanimous, I think Japan needs a strong dose of feminism. Not to mention it would also be nice if men would stop acting like 14 year old boys.

I wonder what goes though her head, if anything. Doesn't she have sense of shame....or anyone else there? I mean while guised as an promotion, I think that it is cry for help.

OtakuboyT

That picture needs less mosaic and more Laughing Man.

[i26.tinypic.com]

天水

Anyone else first think of Dead Rising when they saw the second picture?

GOODASH215

She should team up with Man-Faye and tear a hole in the ass-time continuum.

Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc

I hope all those people in the far distance weren't there to see her, if so that's quite the crowd she has for her tush.

phalanges

Maybe it's too early in the day for me, but I still have trouble wrapping my head around this. I, and many of you, don't you dare deny it, are aware that the interhighway is full of asses. Go ahead. Google "ass." I'll wait.

See? Now you have pictures of asses. Some of them are famous asses and here's the kicker: Kotaku, or anyone else, isn't able to post pictures of you being the phenomenal pervert we all are.

Asper

@Atheist Jew: "..or that it looks like she's about to be gang-raped in every picture."

Surprise sex

IrNoThnk

uumm, from the picture, I don't think her a#$ was the only thing she was flashing O_o.

Seriously, when I visited japan a few weeks back, their view of women is quite regressive, kind of stuck in the 15th century with all the geisha stuff, hence very low respect for women, its so sad given that their women are so polite and nice, with a few exceptions ;-)

muji

Showbiz people are truly fucked up!
I wonder what her parents think of this. And what if she has/will have kids? They're bound to know.
People like this should be sterilized.

I mean, here's this woman, who wants to be a famous singer and she just decides to go out in the street and flash her ass and panties (and she has a pretty mediocre ass, by the way). What a slut! One must really have no self-respect at all to pull this sort of stunts.

Having said that, I thought this was a videogame site. Apparently, I was wrong.

Carroceiro

She's really not all that cute. What the hell is wrong with her?

Gospel X

I thought the cops were going to crackdown and be more strict on stuff like this after the first time it happened?

MURDERFACE

@OtakuboyT:

Hmm. Can't she just be an exhibitionist? Does something have to be wrong with her?

Do Kesubei

Did she ever say why she was doing it? And couldn't the police arrest her for indecent exposure? O_o

Soriya

Haha... someone wants a gangbang.

sir_carrot

Just like in the states publicity is publicity...

Jacktherip

Awwwwwwwwwwwwriiiiiiiiiiiiight!

McKack

@OtakuboyT: Actually it's marketing. And it worked. Seeing this I went onto her site and discovered she had DVDs. It's not insecurity. She just has no problem marketing her body to make money.

Lemming

Looks like the mosaic filter is putting in overtime.

Kinda off-topic (and admittedly noobish question), but why bother blurring out people's faces? Can they actually hit Kotaku with a lawsuit? If they want to be horndogs and look like desperate losers in public with hundreds of cameras about, maybe they shouldn't be given the right of being anonymous.

GrassJelly

Why doesn't this shit happen in canada?

Jobbo_Fett

This headline is made of win.

knulpm

@Otakuboy
If the women is weird, what about the guys who STAND IN LINE to take a picture of her ass? Desperate? I guess you should rename yourself, because THIS is otaku culture.

Honestly people, if you are surprised or disgusted by this, then you should better rethink your label and look for a new label

develin

Can we get more butt flashing in NY?

Al2x

Lighten up guys. You didn't have to click on the link and you knew it would be an otaku-ish type story rather than straight-up game related. Kotaku will always be about this and other gaming culture so relax and enjoy the crazyness. I thought she was cute. And as if you wouldn't have a laugh and enjoy it if you were there in Akiba

Darcii

Let me see that thongththongthong thong thong thong!

Enigma_20XX

@GrassJelly: You do realize that Kotaku DIDNT take these pictures nor EDIT them.

Unless you think Kotaku is a site called AKIBA BLOG.
