This site is dedicated to images of japanese idols,
and for collectors of the topic.
There is no nudity or pornography on this site.
I have also made every effort to eliminate content which might be considered
lewd or suggestive.
Subscription has become necessary to help me pay for server costs.
It is fair that a user share the expense.
If content of a web site is valued, it should be paid for.
1) Check your {CAPSLOCK} key - username / password is case sensitive.
Username/password must be typed in exactly as received; no CAPS - no spa ces.
2) Make sure your web browser or software is set up to allow authentication.
The photo gallerys are updated often. Find the link to my "what's new" page
at the top of the photo gallery index.
This site is updated often and links will change.
Use the refresh button in your browser.
Check that the address you submitted is correct
Please mail me including a valid return address
A link to my e-mail address is at the '@' icon [at the side menu bar]
Please check your spam filters.
Now some mail is not received because of the filters.
Most mail problems I see are with hotmail.
If you are using hotmail and have not received your password,
it is probably better to just send me an address from a different
mail server.
If you receive a status 401 - no permission to access,
it means that subscription is required for these pages.
Please visit the membership page
Please be careful with your download software setup.
Sometimes a download software will fail to send the username/password.
This is a problem with your software, not with the web site.
For a person who submits many failed authentications,
then that persons address will be blocked for 24 hours.
On the use of "download accelerator" software.
Many users report 'over quota' yet their files downloaded
total much less then the quota.
It most often occurs when the software is set for multiple requests.
Many beta versions of 'Mozilla' are being used.
Many contain bugs.
Below is an actual server log portion (IP and username removed)
See that this software makes 35 partial requests for the file and then assembles the file,
but the bytes overlap.
User has downloaded 1.3MB
Actual file size is 234kb
It is a defect in the software.

User downloaded = 1.3 MB
Actual file size = 234kb
server bandwidth is
meant to be shared equally
but this one has used the resource of 34 other members
Please benefit by setting the software to make only one request for each file.
(1) A faster download will result because only the actual file size will be downloaded.
(2) A user will keep a more accurate meter to prevent 'over quota' block.
(3) The server will be faster for everyone.
By default Internet Explorer 6 will not display a image at full size.
It will resize an image to fit the screen.

Please correct this in the browser tool bar:Tools>Internet Options>Multimedia>"uncheck" Enable Automatic Image Resizing.

I am not affilitated with any other web site.
Now, many web sites use this web site content
without my knowledge. I am told some promise delivery of images
which is never realized. Please use those web sites at
you own risk.
when clicking on a media
file, Windows XP will automatically launch 'media player'.
I think this is dumb.
then for some it is difficult to save the file.
better is to right-click on the link, select 'Save Target As', and then browse
to the folder one wishes to save it in.
then, after download, one can play the file anytime and with whatever media
player one chooses.
