Since the end of the war, Japanese had been blindly following the Western standard of beauty and they tried so hard to imitate and look like Western models or actresses regardless of our physical differences. But in recent years, Japanese have stopped looking only outside and started looking inside again. They are beginning to find their identity of being beautiful in the way they are.

Sorry, Kazuo, there is nothing the little people can do about it. Personally, I wouldn't be sorry to see the porn, suicide and pedophilia websites filtered or shut down altogether.

Its just an over assertion of authority, and ypocracy where the corrupt of parliament dictate to ordinary people what is ok for them to view. What will happen is a huge blackmarket in banned images, more money for the yakuza, more payoff to the politicians and law enforcement. Certain sites should be shut down world wide for sure, but who decides what is ok? Will we all agree?
