The mayor of one of Japan’s largest cities, who is seen by some as a possible future prime minister, drew an outcry on Monday after he said women forced into wartime brothels for the Japanese Army during World War II had served a necessary role in providing relief for war-crazed soldiers.
Toru Hashimoto, the populist mayor of Osaka, also said American soldiers stationed in Okinawa should make more use of the island’s adult entertainment industry, which he said would reduce the incidence of sexual crimes against local women.

Toru Hashimoto, the mayor of Osaka in Japan and the co-leader of the nationalist Japan Restoration party, has always been a politician of controversies. However, his comment that the system of "comfort women" during the second world war was necessary has caused a storm of protest on a different scale.
It outraged neighbouring Asian countries and feminist activists who had supported these women and sought to gain recognition of what they had suffered. Cabinet ministers and other Japanese politicians in the ruling conservative party and in opposition have also expressed their strong disapproval.

The San Francisco Department on the Status of Women joins other organizations in condemnation of the May 13 assertion by Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto that the system of sex slavery imposed by the Japanese military in Asia during World War II was “necessary” to provide relief to soldiers.
This statement is very damaging. To justify the exploitation and suffering experienced by the women, some just girls, who were forced into prostitution by the Japanese military during World War II is a flagrant denial of basic human rights. Sex slavery is never “necessary.”

Mr Hashimoto drew international criticism last week when he said that the "comfort women", were "necessary" for Japan's wartime troops.
The two women were worried the meeting would be "politically exploited".
性風俗関係の言葉は、それこそ各国の文化、制度、習慣などときめ細かく結びついているし、時代性もはらんでいる（辞書の訳は古かったり、載っていなかったりする）ので、ちゃんと伝えるのは難しそうだ。
