WHERE ARE THESE THINGS LOCATED?!?!?!
I was just in Roppongi an hour ago, and I didn't see one. Nor have I
ever seen one since I've lived here. I am not doubting your veracity
of the print, but I've yet to see anyone THAT hentai around here.
Then again, I live 35 miles south of Tokyo; NOT in Nerima....

Vending Machines
<SNIP>
Probably the most controversial vending machine venture in
recent years
has been for the sale of used panties. Ostensibly once owned and
worn by
female high-school students, the panties come in vacuum-sealed packs
of three
(with a photo of the erstwhile owner) and are targeted at the average
fetishtic man about town. The cost? Around 3000 to 5000 yen,
amking them
the perfect, reasonably priced Japanese souvenir for the folks at
home.

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Happosai is an AVERAGE dirty old
man. He's
just too cheap to pay for them.
Note: To any one of Japanese nationality or descent. I'm not
trying to make
fun of your culture. I am simply pointing out things that are VERY
foreign
to our western way of thinking. It is around unusual items like
these that
our imaginations can create stories. No insult is intended or, I
hope,
implied.
P.S. Travel guides, like the afore mentioned Lonely Planet series,
can be
very useful in Anime based fanfic writing. They are designed to
present you
with alot of information about Japan rapidly. The cultural
differences
presented in them can serve as great springboards to stories.
