poses give grief to girls-next-door

"I just want it forgotten," Kanako Kimizuka screams frantically to Spa! (4/19) as tears stream down her face. "I want everybody who saw it to forget and I want to forget it myself."
Since the advent of digital cameras taking high quality instant photographs, it's become something of a fad for Japanese couples to snap away while being saucy.
But, as the 27-year-old Kimizuka can attest, growing numbers of woman who've allowed shutterbug sidekicks to snap away can later learn that the worm turns.
Photos Kimizuka once permitted during the passionate throes of ecstasy with her lover were, Paris Hilton-style, later sold by the boyfriend and, together with her real name and that of her company, spread across the Net.
"I went to my local police to complain, but because my boyfriend lived in the Kinki Region, they only told me that it was out of their jurisdiction and there was nothing they could do about it. They did accept my criminal complaint, but told me that because my boyfriend had sold our video to a distributor, there was a possibility it could have been posted on the Internet through that company's channels, too. I didn't get anywhere," Kimizuka, a resident of the Chugoku Region, tells Spa! "I took on a lawyer, but they said it was difficult to find proof that my boyfriend had been responsible for putting the file online."
Considering that Kimizuka and her boyfriend were the only people who knew about the video in the first place, it shouldn't be too hard to deduce who spread it publicly if she is denying any involvement. But that deduction seems unlikely to satisfy law enforcers.
What's more, the nature of her problem has made it too difficult for Kimizuka to comfortably seek the advice of friends.
"I can still remember the sheer terror I felt the moment I received the file in my name and opened it up to look at what it contained," she says.
Kimizuka says that once she released a sex video in which she was the star was circulating through the Internet, she became so depressed she refused to leave her bed for a week. Every waking moment, while traveling to work and while there all day, she kept thinking that there was somebody laughing at what she was doing on film.
She started getting prank phone calls at work. Eventually, the strain became too much and it drove her to shut down her company. She is still awaiting notification that her ex-boyfriend has been arrested, but has heard nothing so far.
Kimizuka is just one of many unfortunate women in Japan to have been targeted in this manner recently. Most common victims are schoolgirl prostitutes, who frequently allow johns to photograph or film them during sessions of enjo kosai, the euphemism used for teens turning tricks, but which translates literally as "compensated dating."
One Japanese teen, who the weekly doesn't name, has found her life in tatters because a client she serviced sold footage of their session and it ended up in cyberspace with her name and the name of her school in the title.
"We received phone calls and e-mail notifying us that footage of one of our students engaging in despicable behavior was being leaked across the Net. We confirmed that it was the student and brought her and her parents in to talk about how we would handle the situation. The rumor had already spread amongst other students and, in the end, we thought it would be tough for her to continue here," a spokesman for the teen's school says, confirming the girl had effectively been expelled.
The weekly adds that the school apparently did not see fit to report the incident to the police.
"That's a problem for her family to deal with," the spokesman tells Spa!
