I want to fuse with you!!!

Pachinko companies must surely produce the weirdest, silliest and most outrageous TV adverts in Japan. Sankyo panchinko company has been broadcasting an advert clearly targeting the Akiba (秋葉) tribe. In this advert, a typical Japanese garu (ガール、girl), the kind one can encounter in the so-called fashion health business, is seen standing on a rooftop and looking directly at the camera while saying in a "sensual" high-pitch voice:, "Anata to gattai shitai (あなたが合体したい。。。) or "I want to fuse with you". Once this is said a superrobot from the animé series Genesis of Aquarion turns up next to her and projects his mechanical around the girl. Animé fans might find certain similarities between this shot and "tentacle hentai sex" scenes of many pornographic animé. The sexual innuendo here is quite obvious since the noun gattai (合体) also means copulation or penetration. But if you weren't 100% sure yet, later we get this girl shouting the word "Kimochiii 気持ちいいい” "It feels good" as the arm cruises through the city and eventually penetrates the stratosphere, not leaving any room for imagination. This is done in a long shot so the arm takes almost the shape of a spermatozoid. And one still wonders why feminism has never taken root in this country...

Miss Rikudoru, we bid you farewell!!!

In Japan there is an idol (idoru/アイドル) for every age, profession and sexual orientation. Otakus have them, cram school teachers have them, too and even METI public servants have them. And what about the Jieitai (自衛隊) or so-called Self-Defence Forces? Of course, they couldn't continue with their rebuilding programme in Samawah (Iraq) unblocking sewage drains and fixing light bulbs without their own pin-up to shorten up their lonely nights in the desert. And this tonic in the shape of a woman is Wakada Fukushima (福島和可菜) AKA　"Rikudoru" (リクドル, a combination of the terms "rikugun" , 陸軍 or army, and idoru). But, hang on! because this muse of the Japanese spirit (Yamato damashii, 大和魂) has just retired. And this very same morning at that temple of enlightenment on Fuji TV called "Megamashi Terebi" she made a final guest appearance.
Please send a warm "hip, hip, hooray" to this much-needed army morale builder's personal blog.
