Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara's battle to drive sex businesses from the capital may well be appearing to work on the surface, but is in reality making the flesh trade sleazier and dirtier by driving it underground, according to Spa! (8/10-17).
Ishihara's clean-up campaign that really kicked in from July has already started wiping out erotic massage parlors and imekura, or "image clubs," establishments where customers can ask to be serviced by workers clad in selected outfits such as schoolgirl uniforms or maid's dresses.

The Tokyo High Court rejected on Wednesday a suit filed by a group of women over remarks made by Tokyo Gov Shintaro Ishihara which they said were disparaging to women, upholding a lower court ruling.

Presiding Judge Yoshinori Ishikawa said in handing down the ruling, "It's undeniable that the remarks made the plaintiffs uncomfortable, but it cannot be said that the remarks violated their rights to pursue happiness and live equally."

The outspoken governor also said, quoting the professor, that it is "sinful" for a woman to continue to live after she loses her reproductive capacity.
