Different Dimension Me

Our heartfelt thanks to Churrinho, for introducing us to the truly amazing Different Dimension Me. While the system has a few limitations (see previous posts) DDM is not only capable of converting regular photos into anime-style avatars, but can actually improve on existing CGI. Case in point: we took this tired old piece from Kogaru Diaries:

And transformed it into these:

BTW: All of these images are in the public domain. Use them however you see fit. :)

More AI Art

So, we finally managed to access QQ AI once more, and immediately uploaded this image of our resident joshikosei, Saori and Keiko:

For some inexplicable reason, the AI had some minor problems with the background, but did a commendable commensurate job on the figurework:

The experiment continued with Saori & Keiko in their underwear:

And as expected, our trusty QQ came through with the goods:

Games we'd like to play...

By 2016, the formentioned Kogaru Diaries eventually evolved into a (proposed) series of RPGs. Taking our cue from the Japanese Ministry of Education, we intended "Kogal English Test" to be a digital teaching supplement, in which the player advances through various levels as the game unfolds.

Not that we were the first to come up with this idea. Osamu Tezuka's Fushigina Melmo was broadcast on TV as part of a national sex education program (talk about lateral thinking) while more recently, Saki Hasemi's Moetan was designed to teach English via panty shots and shower scenes - more indisputable evidence that Japan is home to the most advanced society on the planet.

Anyway, as the main focus of our game involves examining young girls' panties, the user is provided with various devices to assist with the inspection, such as a miniature flying saucer to blow their skirts up and a floating video camera to take close-ups of their underwear.

Each of these devices are available on request, as long as the player asks for each item in English (hey, what better incentive is there for learning a new language?) Users could also switch modes during gameplay, altering the style and color of the girls' knickers at will (see illustration posted below).

 

Tirol Chocolate: The Update

September 2022: the Tirol Chocolate Company has released the latest update of their Legendary Commercial, and following established tradition, they've approached the Tricolor Angels to star in the remake. On this occasion, Anna, Ava and Sarah are doing the honors, following the movements of the original as closely as possible:

Let's talk about cultural dissonance...

Back in the 1960s, the Chirrol Chocolate company produced an animated commercial meant to appeal to children. It featured three bishojo characters singing "ふりふりフレーク、チロルチョコ～," which (liberally translated) means something like "shakey-shakey-shakey, Chirrol Chocolate-ah!" The cartoon ended with the girls raising their skirts to reveal their underwear. Most people found it cute and funny; apparently, kids used to sing it on the way to school. Kawaii desu, no big deal.

Fast forward thirty year or so, and the company decides to remake the ad in 1994. Social values have changed, agendas are being pushed, and suddenly, we have thousands of moral guardians mounting a letter-writing campaign to the government, demanding that the "obscene commercial" be banned until the end of time. Apparently, the local P & T association had leapt onto the PC bandwagon that the West had been pushing for the past few decades.

You'd think that the average Japanese politician would have more important things to deal with than a harmless TV commercial, but naturally, the Puritan Brigade got their way as they always do. The advertisement was censored, all copies of the print destroyed, and a valuable piece of popular culture was lost to history. Apparently, nobody and nothing is safe from these self-righteous killjoys, regardless of where they happen to live.

At War With Wikipedia (again)

In recent days, the Eugenics Squad over at Wikimedia Commons has been getting its knickers in a twist over this conceptual piece, further demonstrating their bald faced hostility towards transgendered art...

Afternoon Delights?

More evidence that Japan is home to the most advanced civilization on the face of the planet: while Western kids were raised on a steady diet of Scooby Doo, Groovie Goolies and Everything's Archie, Japanese pre-teens were fed a healthy blend of panty shots and lingerie scenes via the popular media.

Yes, it's all completely true: back in the late sixties, Japanese audiences were treated to scenes like this literally every day after school. Japanese Animation (anime, for the uninitiated) had a long history of fan service, particularly where young female characters were concerned. As the years wore on, the cartoons became increasingly more risque, leading to impromptu stripteases in shows like Cutie Honey (1973) and Majokko Megu Chan (1974). 

Majokko Megu-Chan

Sure beats the heck out of Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, doesn't it? All kidding aside however, it's worth noting that live action panchira was extremely popular on Japanese TV, so the transition to anime was probably inevitable. Despite periodic outcries from P&T groups and child welfare advocates, the trend caught on and soon became a staple of the cartoon industry. In the space of thirty years, fan service went from this in 1970:

Mahou No Mako-Chan

 

...to this in 2000.

Gakko No Kaidan

Viewed as cute and harmless (if a little risque), shows like Gakko No Kaidan and Read Or Die were aimed at a young demographic, mainly adolescents and middle-schoolers. Most of the humor was family friendly; kids could laugh at the jokes while their parents smiled at the frequent innuendos.

 

Read Or Die

Tricolor Angels: The Three Graces

In ancient Greek mythology, The Three Graces were the daughters of Zeus - Joy, Splendor and Ecstasy. In Tricolor Angels, they are the cousins of Jessica, the Muse of Dance. When Lily and Ava descend to Hades in search of their lost friends, Jessica summons the three Graces to help them find their way. In common with Jessica, the Graces are expert dancers, inspiring happiness in even the lowest pits of hell. They eventually join Ava and Lily, dancing before Pluto during the Final Contest.

古代ギリシャ神話では、三美神はゼウスの娘-喜び、素晴らしさ、エクスタシーでした。トリコロールエンジェルでは、彼らはジェシカのいとこです。リリーとアヴァが失われた友人を探してハーデスに降りるとき、ジェシカは3人のグレイスを召喚して彼らが道を見つけるのを助けます。ジェシカと同じように、グレイセスは熟練したダンサーであり、地獄の最も低いピットでさえ幸せを刺激します。最終的に彼らはファイナルコンテスト中にプルートーの前で踊り、AvaとLilyに加わります。
