The porn video booths of the Kintaro Group in Japan are not taking one for the team!

The other day, I passed through Shinjuku and came across a sign for the Kintaro porn video group (ok, to be more specific, this seems to be one for their "Momotaro" brand, but there doesn't seem to be any difference between them apart from the name). They're everywhere so I usually don't really take any notice of them since the basic stuff they advertise never really change, but as I was waiting for the traffic lights to switch I took a little closer look bored as I was.

This is how the sign looked like and I took the liberty of marking the place that I found most of interest...

You should also keep in mind that we here in Eastern Japan are still in the middle of the whole "save electrocity" scare where everyone is encouraged to turn down the aircon, turn off all the lights and generally turn off everything that needs electricity all the time. So far, Tokyo has been doing good and there has been no need for any rolling blackouts, and as long as it continues this way we should be ok as the cooler autumn is now not too far away. 

However... What does Kintaro advertise?! Well, they boldly state that they provide really cool rooms (and have a girl in a bikini top inviting salarymen to come and cool down). First of all, advertising "cool" rooms is a bold slap in the face of every person and industry here in Tokyo that are suffering and sweating our way through the summer for the common good. But when you start look into it a bit more, for the Kintaro porn video booths to have "cool" rooms means that they not only have to have the setting on the aircon to quite cool to begin with, but they also have to compensate from the heat emanating from a whole bunch of salarymen jacking off in unison in their little booths and compensate for that (I would guess that would be around ~5 degrees C or so extra).

So yeah, hey! Kintaro, thanks for helping out, NOT! And to believe that they dare to call themselves the "friend of the salaryman". Oh, and for those of you new here, don't miss the video from the Kintaro Group I posted way back, it's a gem (here)!
