One of the big issues of debate in Japan in recent years has been over the possession of child pornography. Currently it is illegal to distribute it but not to simply possess it (this is real pornography of children). Japan and Russia are the only two member countries in the G8 that have not outlawed the simple possession of child pornography itself. For this reason both Russia and Japan are havens for child pornographers. I have no doubts that the junior idol industry has links to this.

There have been numerous successful prosecutions of owners of such magazines in recent years where they have crossed the line. It definitely isn't an industry I'd trust with my or anyones child.
