As an American journalist in Japan, Jake Adelstein uncovered a world unknown to many of the Japanese public, let alone to foreigners: the world of organized crime. For 12 years, he investigated for Japan's largest newspaper, the Yomiuri Shinbun.
In his final story, Adelstein went toe-to-toe with one of the country's most notorious crime bosses, a discovery that led to death threats for him and his family — death threats that have yet to be lifted. His new memoir about his experiences is called Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan.
After leaving the paper in 2005, Adelstein was chief investigator for a U.S. State Department-sponsored study of human trafficking in Japan. Today he is considered one of the foremost experts on organized crime in Japan, and works as a writer and consultant in Japan and the United States.
Adelstein is also the public relations director for the Washington, D.C.-based Polaris Project Japan, which combats human trafficking and the exploitation of women and children in the sex trade. He joins Terry Gross to talk about that work, his book and the organized-crime landscape in Japan.

There is no Glamour or Glory in the Porn Industry. THERE IS NO FUN. Day after day I was a witness to the constant abuse of women being slapped, choked and spit on and even tortured in the porn industry. Not to mention the amount of drug abuse that occurred. The constant cocaine snorting, marijuana smoking and pill popping that went on, was ridiculous. Now it's even worse. The use of Vicoden and Oxycontin and eventually Heroin is more predominent now more than ever. Being that the pills are far too expensive and Heroin is much cheaper. I know, I have a friend that's 19 year old son is struggling with the addiction of Heroin. That is the pattern of drug abuse that leads into Heroin addiction. I was one of the men that participated in those disgusting activities with the exception of Heroin. It was all about the money and there wasn't much to be made at all. In fact men were only being paid 100 - 150 dollars for the 45 minutes of potential abuse and the possibility of being locked up for Domestic Violence. Would you call that fun? It's quite shocking that people ask if I had fun, or if I made a-lot of money. It's a common question for me to have the answer for these days. Well here it is, cut and dry. NO! It wasn't fun. It was never fun. For some reason (morally) I knew that what I was doing was wrong in the eyes of Jesus Christ. I knew that to treat a woman with such utter disrespect was the worst thing I could be doing. People are constantly asking me if it’s really true that women like what they are doing on the porn set. The answer was made quite clear to me that when I saw certain activities going on I could tell that it was not what they had expected. Nor was it what I expected. I expected to be loved and wanted as though I always had a girlfriend and was going to be able to make money at it without the headache of being in a relationship. To watch a woman jump up and run off screaming at the top of her lungs because of mental anguish was very disturbing to all the men on the set. To watch a woman get sick and throw up on someone, go to the restroom and clean herself up and return to finish a scene. Yeah Right, she was thought to be a champion. Give me a break. To see women fighting over me and trying to establish "RULES" as to who could work with me, was just a joke. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw 2 of them beating each other up because of jealousy. It was as though it was "The Real World" before it ever exsisted on MTV.People talk about fantasies and that is the worst one I ever experienced, because it never came true and has haunted me for the past 14 years. Now is the time to put an end of allowing children to get into this industry. No matter if they are 18 or 25 they are still considered children in the eyes of God. Some people are ridiculing me and saying that I am a “Jesus Freak” and that I am a “Church Nut”. So be it. I am the one that has to live with the fact that I made terrible decisions and wrong choices in my life. I am the only one that is responsible for my actions and when I die, the last thing I want to be is judged for those choices and be turned away from the gates of heaven. You can call me what ever you want. You can tell me that I didn’t do enough porno and that there isn’t enough info on my history on the internet, all you want. The fact is simple. I did enough to know it wasn’t for me. Having been in over 30 (straight) videos, justifies the fact that I have every right to speak out against the Porn Industry and do what ever it takes to get my trash off the internet. I will fight this industry until the day I die. The most important thing to remember is that someone’s child (Straight or Gay) is in a porn video. We all know in our right minds that it is just flat out wrong. How can anyone think that it is cool to see there neighbors son or daughter in a porn?

Hanna, thank you for the necessary astringency of your last post about the "Neda" video and the construction of a martyr mythology in the blogosphere’s reporting on Iran. I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch the entire unedited Neda video on YouTube; it feels too close to a snuff movie. Assuming this graphic clip really does document a young woman’s death at the hands of paramilitary snipers—something we lack the reporting to confirm—what gives us the right to watch it and forward to and fro as proof of our solidarity with the forces of democracy and reform in Iran (something that, as you point out, Mousavi is far from representing)? I wouldn’t want my own death, or that of someone I loved, to be instrumentalized in that way. (We don't, for example, treat the deaths of U.S. soliders abroad as YouTube-able moments.) And the fact that “Neda” is a young and pretty woman somehow adds to the ickiness of disseminating the scene of her murder (if that is indeed what the clip shows) as a propaganda tool.Hanna, thank you for the necessary astringency of your last post about the "Neda"... more

I'm not quite sure who'd want to watch a women who's just had 8 kids star in a porn movie, but US porn distributor Vivid Entertainment seem to think there's some demand, they've reportedly asked the now infamous Octomum, to become a 'contract star.'
Vivid have reportedly sent a letter to Nadya Suleman, offering up a cool $1m, saying if she becomes a 'contract girl' (meaning she'll have to do more than one video) they'll also give her family 'full medical and dental insurance.'
TMZ's opening line for this story is one of the most eyeopening lines I've read in weeks:
"OctoMom is used to having multiple people inside of her at once -- and now one porn company is willing to shell out big bucks to harness that skill on film."
Is this porn stooping to a new low, or will people really want to see Octomum does Dallas, or something similar?I'm not quite sure who'd want to watch a women who's just had 8 kids star in a porn... more

It was only a matter of time. Last night, someone sent us an ad from Craigslist L.A., supposedly placed by porn producers searching for a Sarah Palin lookalike for an upcoming skin flick. It's since been removed (perhaps they were able to cast Eva Angelina?), but here is the original text for your edification.It was only a matter of time.

A northeast Georgia town that unsuccessfully tried for years to close a local strip club finally gave up and purchased it instead ... for nearly $1 million.
Lavonia’s mayor got a standing ovation when he announced the purchase at a meeting this week. Crews quickly took down the signs advertising the club and burned them in a large bonfire at the strip club site.
Officials have since passed an ordinance banning adult entertainment businesses.
Instead of buying the club, town officials could have used the money to pay off the bond fund for its water treatment plant upgrade. A northeast Georgia town that unsuccessfully tried for years to close a local strip... more

Using this guide to strip club etiquette will help ensure that your next visit to the local cabaret goes well and that you leave without insult or injury. A bad visit to the strip club can include being doused in your $9 drink, a sore bottom (which the bouncer tossed you out on), and hurt feelings all around; a good visit means you had fun, met some new people, and look forward to going back.
