J's Chimes: It's Been A While...

It's been 5 months since J's Chimes had stopped posting and entered a long hiatus all thanks to the new change of lifestyle am in now. Yep, university is finally over and getting ready to step out to the real world... I believe many would had thought that J's Chimes is long gone, but somehow it's the beginning of a new platform that I would be creating. After much consideration, I had decided to start a new group named 'Japanimation Themes' in Facebook. This new group will focus on all the Japanese anime opening and ending themes from the past till now. It may take a while to fully make this operational but it is under way. Nevertheless, J's Chimes will not be shutdown and would probably be link to the new group depending on circumstances. We do hope that you could join us when the time comes... Watch out for new updates...

J's Chimes: On Vacation...

Yup... J's Chimes is on vacation for this weekend and thus the late postings for the blog. Am at some beach chalet without any computers to update my blog. Will most probably be back tomorrow for more updates so please stay tune...

J's Chimes: Cancelations Galore...

With the disaster that struck Japan, it seems like many things will inevitably be canceled from this month on. From products to television programmes that we all loved very much, it is only now that we appreciate them and take it for granted. Some examples are as shown below:

Animes

Yup, it's nerve wrecking to say this but this season's animes are mostly put on hold now due to the disaster. Even the infamous QB is put on hold in tormenting the magical girls...

Food Products

Mad rush for Japanese products can be seen in Japan to stockpile on food supply. Not to mention other neighboring countries like Hong Kong and China are all in a frenzy to purchase all available Japanese products now in bulks. The situation looks pretty dire... Many countries are dependent on Japan for their products so with the shortage of these, high chances that food prices would increase dramatically...

Miscellaneous Products

From Eroge to Mangas, appliances and electronics, seems like they will all be canceled or postponed to a later launch date and such. With such, imports and exports are grim and low... So we might probably have to wait a while for these to return...

Events and Conventions

Even Ishihara's approval for a Tokyo Anime Fair 2011 is inevitably canceled due to this situation. It is without fail that the Anime Contents Expo will see the same fate as TAF2011... Not to mention the other upcoming festivals like cosplays, animes and manga conventions...

Other

It is however unclear that if the Japan Manga Ban would still take effect in a few months time after this unfortunate incident. Hopefully the disaster would be taken highest priority instead of something like this that can help contribute to the economic. Other cancellations would also include flights to Japan. For now, let's hope for the best that Japan could stand up once again once this situation is over...

J's Chimes: Kaomoji & Emoticons

Emoticons (emotional icons) are used to compensate for the inability to convey voice inflections, facial expressions, and bodily gestures in written communication. Some emoticons are better known as "smileys." Emoticons can be very effective toward avoiding misinterpretation of the writer's intents. In Japan, such emoticons known as Kaomoji Emotions are quite a norm in messages as a better way of expressing one's thought or feelings. Like they say, a picture speaks a thousand words. Some examples are as seen below...

m(_ _)m – I’m sorry. If you look good you’ll see a man nodding his head.

(^_^)/ – I’m excited.

(^_^;) – I’m uncomfortable/embarrassed. A man with a drop of sweat on his face.

(>^_^)> ( ;_;) <(^_^<) – several emoticons together meaning two friends hugging their crying friend, or actually laughing at him.

>_< – Something on my mind.

T_T – crying.

@_@ – puzzled.

=^.^= – a cat.

There are many different variations and types of Kaomoji, some which requires a Japanese Input keyboard to type out the symbols for it. Kaomoji are also commonly use in sites like Facebook or even when talking to your friends. Yup they do originated here....

Ultimate Hentai Teacher Gets 30 Years for 95 Rapes

A teacher who raped and indecently assaulted as many as 27 of his pupils a total of 95 times has received a 30 year sentence.

The 43-year-old man formerly taught at a Hiroshima elementary school, and from 1989, the year after he started teaching, his true calling of hentai teacher began.

Over this 19 year career he was found to have violated 27 schoolgirls, aged 9 to 12, at least 95 times, blackmailing and violently coercing them into indecent acts with him. He faced charges relating to ten of those victims.

The prosecution demanded he receive the maximum possible punishment of 30 years, saying “He abused his position as teacher to fullest possible extent in order to satisfy his warped lusts; only the greatest possible sentence is appropriate.”

His defence begged the court’s mercy with the rather improbable “His chance of reoffending is slim!”

The judge would have none of it, passing down the full 30 year sentence:

“By telling these girls that if they did not accede to your demands you would not teach them, you exploited their immature minds, repeatedly and brutally defiling the sacred ground of an educational establishment.

The cruel damage you wrought is excessive, the social harm inflicted grave. Considering the circumstances and motive there is no reason to spare you.

As you bear the gravest of responsibility for disrupting the lives of these young girls, I can only pass the maximum sentence allowable.”

Once again, a case where the failure of police or school to intervene earlier raises as many questions as the conduct of the teacher himself.

Mother Paid Boys to Rape 11-Year-Old Daughter

A mother who forced her 11-year-old daughter to engage in sexual relations with a series of young boys on a near daily basis has admitted she paid the boys to have sex with the girl as she wanted to make her daughter “more popular.”

The 40-year-old unemployed mother, a resident of the Italian city of Perugia, apparently believed that only by engaging in sexual relations with many male “admirers” could her 11-year-old daughter become “popular.”

To this end she resolved to force the girl into a series of sexual relationships with young boys, whom she herself recruited as they were leaving her daughter’s school.

She would subsequently bribe a series of boys aged 13 to 17 into seeing her daughter, giving them money, mobile phones and calling credit in return for coming back to the family residence in order to have sex with her daughter, an arrangement which continued on a “near daily” basis for some time.

Her daughter tearfully opposed these encounters, but apparently to no avail.

Police began an investigation into the family apartment after receiving reports of screams and “unusual activity” there, and soon arrested the mother after bugging made it clear her daughter was in considerable distress.

The mother had also apparently let a 17-year-old boy have sex with his 13-year-old girlfriend at the residence, whilst she was present. He is being charged with sexual assault.

The girl has been taken into care.

The girl’s father was apparently absent and not aware of the encounters; police have taken no action against him.

In all other respects the family was thought to be normal; the mother had no prior criminal history and the girl exhibited no problems at school.

Schoolgirl Directs Loli Gang Rape Film

A 14-year-old girl had her boyfriend and two other male accomplices violate her friend whilst she delightedly filmed the crime.

The schoolgirl perpetrator, who was attending a school in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, had her friend accompany her and her boyfriend to a secluded spot, where she had sex with her boyfriend whilst her friend acted as lookout.

Apparently not satisfied, the girl then told her friend to have sex with her boyfriend too. She declined, but the schoolgirl insisted, and had her boyfriend rape her whilst she watched, apparently enjoying the spectacle.

Still not satisfied, she called two additional male acquaintances and had them have sex repeatedly with the girl too.

All the while she had apparently been filming the ordeal with her mobile phone, and encouraging the boys whilst they had their way with the girl.

Their victim subsequently reported them to police.

This sort of thing seems a surprisingly common form of delinquent sadism…

Mother Stalks & Seduces Shota Son in Incest Rape

A mother who stalked and seduced the biological son she gave up for adoption some ten years ago has been charged with rape.

The 35-year-old Detroit woman, pictured, tracked down her teenage son (age withheld) using the Internet, after giving him up for adoption and not seeing him for 10 years.

Once she tracked him down, she is alleged to have seduced him; whether the boy knew the woman he had sex with was his mother is not clear.

Police got wind of incident and charged her with criminal sexual conduct, as the boy was underage; it seems likely the “rape” she is charged with is statutory rather than forceful.

The woman denies the charges, and was released on bail after surrendering to police.

A local psychiatrist clearly has not read any hot incest ero-manga, or at least is not a fan of such:

“Our first reaction to hearing about something like this is that this is every man’s nightmare. It’s an abomination.

I’m at a loss for words because it’s something that we consider to be so out of the normal, so prohibited in every culture that it unnerves every man just to think about it.

This could be his first sexual experience, and his first sexual experience could be something so conflicted, so unusual, so prohibited that it will stay with him for life.”

Shota Rape Teacher Gets 7 Years

A female teacher charged with the statutory rape of a schoolboy has been given a 7 year prison sentence.

The woman, a 29-year-old science teacher at a school in Biloxi, Mississippi, was found to have had a consensual sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy at the school, though he was not one of her pupils.

Authorities getting wind of the improper relationship charged the teacher with statutory rape, as her partner was underage.

A court convicted the woman, and a judge sentenced her to 7 years, but then suspended 6 years of the sentence, meaning as long as she can restrain her shota raping tendencies she will serve only 1 year.

She is also being forced to pay a $1,000 fine, register as a sex offender and surrender her teaching license.

It is hard to imagine a male teacher in the same circumstances receiving such a generously suspended sentence…

“Hot Teacher” Faces 4 Years for Schoolboy Sex

A teacher who pursued a consensual sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy has been charged with sexual assault and faces a 4 year prison sentence and a possible lifetime locked away as a potential child rapist.

The teacher-student tryst followed a familiar pattern – a 23-year-old student teacher (now 25), pictured, pursued a consensual sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy she had been teaching at a New Jersey school.

Reportedly she had sex with the boy at her home “several times” one night, as well as in her car.

The boy’s father learned of the ongoing relationship, and reported the matter to police, who charged her with second-degree sexual assault, third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.

She was released on bail of $75,000, and several years later on Valentine’s Day 2011 she finally had her day in court, pleading guilty to one count of second-degree sexual assault as part of a plea bargain with state prosecutors.

The state reportedly intends to recommend she gets a 4 year prison sentence for her wicked crime, and face indefinite incarceration as part of a “treatment program” if found to be displaying a pattern of “repetitive and compulsive behaviour” – although it seems likely most female 23-year-olds display a pronounced interest in sex with young men…

She also faces the usual array of life-destroying sex-offender restrictions.

That a father took it upon himself to ruin the life of his 15-year-old son’s beautiful-if-foolish teacher whilst robbing him of his girlfriend is perhaps the only real perversion highlighted by the case…

Samurai Girls Tentacle Bukkake Anime

Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls is proving to be the Queen’s Blade of the season – the 6th episode covers the unfailingly popular territory of naked girls being splattered by creamy liquids and assailed by tentacles.

The episode was quite well received, for reasons which look obvious:

Ika-chan seems to have had her way with the anime as usual:

Kore wa Pantsu Desu ka?

The 3rd episode of panchira anime Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? is noted for its service content, featuring scantily clad girls in all manner of compromising positions – who would have thought?
