Few Nukes hit the Town - Part Four

Beware, Porn to Follow!

October 10th, 2008

The continuing saga of a Twiget Nuke’s first impression of Japan.

“Another thing that amazed me was how much 18+ things there were in Akihabara. It seemed every single store had its own collection of hentai/porn. We went into a corner store one time just to look for a few small things, and sure enough there was porn in a section. And it isn’t covered up, its not hidden away. You just find yourself looking at like music cds, anime dvds, porn; OK, new store, magazines, porn, novels. There doesn’t seem to be a line somewhere that says Beware! Porn to follow! Some stores with basements have a sign as you go down that says, “18+ something something” so I figured that’s where all the porn was, so I stayed on the 1st floor, only to be greeted by, yup, porn. So then I was like, well whats so special about the basement then? So I went downstairs to the basement, more porn. I don’t know. Akihabara isn’t exactly know to be the most pure of districts, but it was just odd to see coming from a country where the porn is in small little back alley buildings with tinted windows and neon signs or something. Reminds me of a funny time, we were walking along and I glanced down this one alley and there was a small shack-like building a little ways down that was clearly nothing but porn and hentai. To be so removed from society I can only imagine what kinds of bad things where there. Which is mostly why we just laughed, said “Wow, that place seems legit” but kept walking the way we were going.”
