【明報專訊】歡迎來到東京 首間「男校咖啡廳」!聲線溫柔、身穿高中制服的少男侍應,帶陽光笑臉與女顧客聊天。去年9月開幕以來,這間名為Edelstein的男生咖啡廳漸成熱話,吸引許多女動漫迷光


顧。Edelstein位於澀谷區神宮前四丁目,離表參道不遠的商業大樓內,裝修以書櫃、鋼琴、結他、棋盤等來營造校園氣氛,侍應扮成典型少女漫畫中的「英俊男生」,女顧客則以「參觀學校的捐助者」姿態出現。

該店27歲經理卷惠美子表示,顧客大多是20至30歲的女白領,幾乎全是愛情漫畫迷。Edelstein的風格來自惠美子最喜歡的70年代日本 愛情漫畫《托馬的心臟》(台譯:天使心),由「日本少女漫畫之神」萩尾望都(Moto Hagio)所繪,故事背景是一間德國 寄宿學校。

角色扮演咖啡廳 市場營業額達136億

角色扮演咖啡廳在日本風行已久,主要是吸引喜愛動漫的「御宅族」(Otaku),市場去年總營業額達1870億日圓 ﹙136億港元﹚。最近業界更看上「宅女」市場的發展潛力,因為她們無論在外貌、時髦和交際上都較「宅男」優勝。

在東京,28歲的高杉加奈和她的兩個朋友都自視為「宅女」,又或她們口中的「腐女」,其中兩人是女性雜誌編輯,另一人是時尚品牌店的女助理。高杉講起最近去Edelstein的經歷:「我和一群朋友去了那裏,我們和侍應生還有朋友們聊天,大家都讚不絕口說『看見了嗎,(侍應男生)好可愛啊』。」

藝人陳冠希 返港後,召開記者會,就藝人裸照事件道歉。

以下為聲明全文:


Today I have come back to Hong Kong to stand before you and account for myself. I have never escaped from my responsibility. During the past few weeks, I have been with my mother and my family and my loved ones to show support and care and at the same time to have them support and care for me.


I admit that most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me. But these photos are very private and have not been shown to people and are never intended to be shown to anyone. These photos were stolen from me illegally and distributed without my consent.


There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos have them uploaded on the Internet with malicious and deliberate intent. This matter has deteriorated to the extent that society as a whole has been affected by this. In this regard, I am deeply saddened. I would like now to apologize to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this. I would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt that they have been feeling. I am sorry. I would like to also apologize to my mother and my father for the pain and suffering I have caused them during the past few weeks. Most importantly, I would like to say sorry to all the people of Hong Kong. I give my apology sincerely to you all, unreservedly and with my heart.


I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society. And in this regard, I have failed. I failed as a role model. However, I wish this matter will teach everyone a lesson. To all the young people in our community, let this be a lesson for you all. This is not an example to be set for you.

During my time away, I have made an important decision. I will whole-heartedly fulfill all commitments that I have to date. But after that, I decided to step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry. I have decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul. I will dedicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months. I will be away from Hong Kong entertainment industry indefinitely. There is no time frame.


I have been assisting the police since the first day the photos were published and I will continue to assist them. After this press con., I have obligation to help them with their investigation and hope that this case can end soon as everyone I think has the same wish.


I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case. Thank you. I believe everyone's priority now (and) my priority now is to stop the suffering and pain, for not letting this...we do not want to let this situation become more out of control. We need to protect all the innocents and all the young from matters like this. In this regard, I have instructed my lawyers to do everything possible within the law to protect all the innocents, victims of this case. I believe that a press statement is being issued as we speak on what my lawyers have advised me to do.


Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for coming here today and listening to what I have to say. I would like to also apologize once again to all the ladies and their families, my family and to everyone in Hong Kong and everyone in our society. I am deeply saddened by this. And I apologize to everyone (who) has to go through this. I would like to also thank you for giving me this opportunity to say what I have wanted to say all along in my heart.


I hope, after today, I can have your forgiveness. With regard to this case, with everything, everything that has happened, I am deeply sorry. I hope you all accept my apology and give me a chance.

Thank you.
