A group of Japanese porn actresses are preparing to have their breasts squeezed by fans for 24 hours this weekend for a charity event loosely translated as “Boob Aid.”
The nine adult movie stars yesterday told Japanese media outlets that they could barely contain their excitement about the “Stop! AIDS” campaign event — which will be televised live — but, asked, perhaps somewhat optimistically: Please be gentle.
“I am really looking forward to lots of people fondling my boobs,” Rina Serina told the Tokyo Sports newspaper. “However, I would be very happy if you would please be delicate.”
The event, the 12th since its launch in 2003, is to be broadcast on adult cable television, with participants donating to the anti-AIDS campaign in exchange for a feel.
It comes after the sexist heckling of a Tokyo assemblywoman hit the headlines, highlighting old-fashioned, objectifying views toward women that still permeate Japanese society.
“I never thought my boobs could contribute to society,” Serina added.
Fellow porn actress Iku Sakuragi had no qualms about being groped by hundreds of pairs of hands.
“It is for charity,” the 21-year-old said. “Squeeze them, donate money — let’s be happy.”
Legislators from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling party sparked a public outcry in June when they assaulted Tokyo assemblywoman Ayaka Shiomura with sexist taunts, shouting “Why don’t you get married?” at her during a debate on motherhood.
Japan has one of the lowest rates of female workforce participation in the developed world alongside a lack of childcare facilities, poor career support and deeply entrenched sexism that are blamed for keeping women at home.
The 24-hour “squeeze-a-thon” is set to begin at 8pm on Saturday and is backed by the Japan Foundation for AIDS Prevention.
POLITICAL PRISONERS VS DEPORTEES: Venezuela’s prosecutor’s office slammed the call by El Salvador’s leader, accusing him of crimes against humanity Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele on Sunday proposed carrying out a prisoner swap with Venezuela, suggesting he would exchange Venezuelan deportees from the US his government has kept imprisoned for what he called “political prisoners” in Venezuela. In a post on X, directed at Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Bukele listed off a number of family members of high-level opposition figures in Venezuela, journalists and activists detained during the South American government’s electoral crackdown last year. “The only reason they are imprisoned is for having opposed you and your electoral fraud,” he wrote to Maduro. “However, I want to propose a humanitarian agreement that
ECONOMIC WORRIES: The ruling PAP faces voters amid concerns that the city-state faces the possibility of a recession and job losses amid Washington’s tariffs Singapore yesterday finalized contestants for its general election on Saturday next week, with the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) fielding 32 new candidates in the biggest refresh of the party that has ruled the city-state since independence in 1965. The move follows a pledge by Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong (黃循財), who took office last year and assumed the PAP leadership, to “bring in new blood, new ideas and new energy” to steer the country of 6 million people.

Young women standing idly around a park in Tokyo’s west suggest that a giant statue of Godzilla is not the only attraction for a record number of foreign tourists. Their faces lit by the cold glow of their phones, the women lining Okubo Park are evidence that sex tourism has developed as a dark flipside to the bustling Kabukicho nightlife district. Increasing numbers of foreign men are flocking to the area after seeing videos on social media. One of the women said that the area near Kabukicho, where Godzilla rumbles and belches smoke atop a cinema, has become a “real
‘POINT OF NO RETURN’: The Caribbean nation needs increased international funding and support for a multinational force to help police tackle expanding gang violence The top UN official in Haiti on Monday sounded an alarm to the UN Security Council that escalating gang violence is liable to lead the Caribbean nation to “a point of no return.” Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Haiti Maria Isabel Salvador said that “Haiti could face total chaos” without increased funding and support for the operation of the Kenya-led multinational force helping Haiti’s police to tackle the gangs’ expanding violence into areas beyond the capital, Port-Au-Prince. Most recently, gangs seized the city of Mirebalais in central Haiti, and during the attack more than 500 prisoners were freed, she said.
