Hi ****,
Thank you so much for contacting ******.
We both know there is absolutely nothing immoral
or obscene about AKB48, but we are not going to
be able to list that book on ******.
I will be straight forward with you and say that
anti-child pornography measures are being seriously
enforced by customs officials in many parts
of the world, especially in North America.
I think the basic idea is to prohibit anything that
may instigate or promote pedophilia, to protect children
as a whole.
The basic idea and principles are the exactly the
same in Japan, and child-pornography is a
serious felony here punishable by imprisonment.
It's just that interpretations are slightly different.
AKB48 photo books or idol books are not interpreted
as harmful or obscene in any way in Japan, because
there is no nudity or anything sexual.
However, the custom officials outside of Japan do not
have the same interpretations.
Even if there is no nudity or sexual acts, they would
consider these photo books as obscene and harmful on
the grounds that children (persons under the age of 18 )
are used as models mainly to please the interests
of adult males.
Since we cannot take any responsibilities or any legal
risks arising from these issues, we have a clear guideline
to prevent products that have risks of being considered as
child-pornography from getting exported. That way, we can
explain to authorities and present proofs in case of any
legal troubles.
Anyway, the main measure we have is a filter that automatically
prevents idol DVDs and photo books that publishers supply
from getting listed on ****** if children appear as models.
This filter prevented Mitsui Aika photo book from
getting listed on ********, as we designed it.
As for Mai Hagiwara book, the filter didn't catch it,
as the publisher classified it as a regular publication
and our filter didn't recognize it as a photo book.
So, we manually removed it.
Anyway, there are over 500,000 items, and it's really
impossible for humans to verify the types of publication
and the age of models manually for them all individually.
So, we rely on the filter I explained to you about
but it's not 100% perfect as this example showed.
I'm sorry for making this reply so long, but I just
wanted you to provide you with a full explanation
about this issue.
Once again, everyone at ****** knows there is nothing
wrong with Mitsui Aika photo book. We just want to
keep things safe for everyone.
AKB48 DVDs are OK because they are obviously
music videos, and customs won't have any problems.
Sincerely,
*****
