Bee Movie

(Otaku(64)
Tue 2008/01/22 08:31
Q: How do Japans marketing folks get little kids to go and watch movies?
A: By getting Hoshino Aki to show her big eyes to them.
Is it OK for little boys (like the one in the picture) to enjoy such a view?
More pictures from this press event for Bee Movie at Mainichi.
Trailer for Bee Movie below which is just about to come out in Japan. Has anybody seen this yet?

Oh geez.

Hoshino Aki is my favorite!

She looks great! Lucky!  I wish I could be there for that. :/

I almost forgot.  We need Danny to go to an idol event of hers!  More photos!  If you ever see the chance Danny go for it!

I don't think I've seen one for Hoshino-san here.

Hehe - nice! I approve of this publicity event.

Im surprised i didnt see much of Aki Hoshino on TV when i was in tokyo - shes quite the popular TV presenter now, isnt she?

I did buy a magazine called DX with her on the front though. Very nice pics inside the sealed section! I reccomend to all sukebe out there :-P

For sure, kids are exposed to sexuality at such a young age nowadays it's scary.
Danny, remember about the pics of those little boys having a not very discreet, perverted look at cute girls' oppai (there are two of them in your side)?
We called them "early sukebe" or stuff like that.
Or maybe everyone here except me forgot about it...

Some get tortured by the fact they got exposed at such an early age.

OMG Windbell, is that a porn story or a news article :S
The way this stuff is described i can understand lostandfound's reaction :S
that article is sooooo wrong, i mean, there are other ways to describe it and it go's sickly deep into details...







*but personally at that age i would have killed for such a teacher :S all i had was old hags T0T*

Indeed that link from windbell is quite a sad and scary story. While im sure he learned some tricks of the trade, i think it must have ruined most of his childhood 13-18 and also deeply traumatised him for the rest of his life.

what i meant to say relates to this part of the article, this is a direct quote:

''With a mischievous smile, she slid back his foreskin and began yanking on his swollen member. In a matter of about 10 seconds, he was spurting seed.''

WHAT THE ...! Is that relevant? is it really necessary to tell...
The wierdest thing is, this is a normal newspaper XD

*naki* *naki* its a sad story..it might be an unrequited love. I felt maybe the teacher should have been honest and tell the boy about her love for him. and let the boy and his parents choose..then it wont sound so bad. but i guess the age gap is too far for society to accept

at first i thought you were shitting me because it sounded like a plot from a doujin/h-manga. its pretty sad what happened to that kid, but i think the teacher is the one at fault here

Guess the teacher is indeed at fault, not being able to either control her emotions, or to torture the guy instead of brainwashing him so he would consent.
So sad.

LOL, nice. The kids won't mind... as their mind ain't tainted like ours yet.
And the children's father will think this is less of a burden (to take the kid to watch the movie).

I mean, it's just tits for Christ's sake... not like she's naked or... worse.

Her eyes' aren't really that big.  Most of the time they're just pushed up by really tight bras or tops.  She looks great that's for sure, and I'd say she was one of my favs, but she's really getting old and I'm surprised she still looks good in gravure despite her age.

"You have to be this tall to ride this"

Seriously... half bare eyes and similar stuff shouldn't be provided to children. TV and the internet means that children learns about adult issues earlier and earlier and while some of them think it's great, quite a lot of them gets confused and it will hurt all of them in the long run. Adult stuff should wait until people are mature enough to handle it.

Most countries signed the UN treaty of child protection (don't exploit children for money and all that). This one includes protecting them against adult stuff. However now people are called old fashioned and stupid if they want to honour this. It's just like slapping children in the face. Since it can cause permanent damage it have been banned for centuries. However nobody did anything to trial people who broke this law and for 2 centuries it was a daily event that the teacher slapped a student in the face and it could happen several times a day. This means that even though we have laws and conventions they aren't worth anything unless we are prepared to prosecute people who breaks those laws.
