This past Sunday, the popular music and variety show Utawara, hosted by Matsumoto Jun and Matsuura Aya, had a two hour summer special that featured Arashi, KAT-TUN, and Koda Kumi. What I’m writing about today is the segment that featured Koda Kumi: it was called the 「チビっ子エロかわダンス選手権」 (Chibikko Erokawa Dance Senshuken). Apparently, the show announced that they were holding such a competition and they got 1,419 applications. They eventually narrowed the field down to nine teams and those teams are the ones who performed in this roughly half-hour segment. Basically, each group does a dance to a Koda Kumi song, and they get judged by Wada Akiko, Tomochika Tsuyako, and Machamacha.
What’s so wrong about this is that the girls they get are aged 2-12. Yes that’s right, they even had a two year old. Basically, this segment qualifies for every loli-pedo fetish, particularly since Koda Kumi dances aren’t exactly known to be chaste. Keep in mind, the title of the competition includes the word erokawa, which means cute but sexy. In the end, a group called “Princess Barbie” (all six year olds) won for their dance to the Butterfly song. Koda Kumi handed them a large trophy and then proceeded to sing I’ll be there, a song from her newest single 「4 hot wave」.
And now for the part I’m sure many of you have been waiting for (this would be the NSFW part). The webmaster over at Japan Probe uploaded all nine performances to YouTube.
Entry #1: Cherry Angel (aged 10-11)
Entry #2: Tiara (aged 7-8)
Entry #3: Princess Barbie (aged 6)
Entry #4: Mizuse Kanaru-chan (aged 5)
Entry #5: M-Shining (aged 8-11)
Entry #6: Yoshida Aimi-chan (aged 12)
Entry #7: Uupii RuuPii (aged 7-11)
Entry #8: Suzuki Anna-chan (aged 2)
Entry #9: Buta Kimu (aged 8-11)
Japanese Child Exploitation or Harmless Fun? You Decide.

Child Exploitation.
But to them, it’s harmless fun.
Both, and yet neither.

It was funny at first but then as I watched more, I can’t help but feel a little disturbed. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen weird Japanese stuff, but still…

It’s one of those things that you just watch and feel something is not inherently right about it. Then you think, maybe its just me, and watch another minute. That’s when it dawns on you that this is just completely wrong and it’s probably not just you. But out of pure curiosity you watch another 30 seconds and just think, this is definitely messed up. Then you go and share it with a bunch of your friends so you don’t have to be the only one feeling deeply disturbed.

So many Koda Kumi wannabes… although I prefer them to be such wannabes when they are much much older though.

Making ‘em kids appear in such revealing apparels and dancing so provocatively in front of national tv,
These parents sure know how to apply lube on their minor daughters and pushing them into a sea of pedo stalkers and child rapists, lol

Child Exploitation, definitely. In most Asian societies, women and child has very little rights in reality.
