Porn represents 30% of Japan's Home Video market . . . has anyone told them there's free porn on the internet, or does that sentence not exist in Japanese?

I wonder what else could they possibly use their ridiculous fast internet connection for.

"Has anyone told these Westerners that not all porn is the same, and that paying a premium for things you'll really enjoy is what drives most of the world's economy?"

Please don't tell me what the Japanese are willing to pay for.

I'm going there for vacation this year -- and I'm nervous enough as it is, wondering what kind of country invents tentacle porn... :-)

Edit: I mean, I'm a fan of HP Lovecraft and all, but...

Porn helped make the VCR a success, same for broadband. I suppose it could fund 3D TV, although I'm with the other commenters in wondering what's so great to pay for.

I work with 3D displays and my company has had a number of porn studios approach us to partner to do 3D porn. Personally I'm not against the idea, but I guess because of some of our other partners we don't want to be seen associating with porn.

Seeing it in 3D is an interesting experience though; I think it'll be popular with the voyeur-style porn. If done well, it really gives the sensation of being right there.

That's when you refer them to your wholly-owned subsidiary, Jim_Dot After Dark.

33 year old Satoshi Miyazaki, who spends about $21 a month on porn, says: "I want to try it out. I need something dramatic to justify replacing my TV. This could be the motivation."

The guy gives his name, his age, tells the world how much he spends on porn and that he's thinking of getting a new TV just so he can watch more porn? There's things about Japan I'll never understand.

I can just imagine the 3D titles: Avatart, Up (Yours), Boy Toy Story ...

imagine, you have 50 inch tv, watching hd porn. you can see any * bigger than your head. and with 3d, you can see gigantic * hopping, what a world...

They need to rely on porn, targetting younger single man, otherwise they may fail i suppose. Do you and all your family wanna wear Matrix-like glasses just to watch reality show, in living room?
