The concept of junior idols in Japan dates back to the 1960s and 1970s, when child performers first began to appear on television and in films. However, it wasn't until the 1990s that the phenomenon of saki gained widespread popularity. This was largely thanks to the rise of idol groups, such as Hello Kitty and the more recent, Morning Musume.
The international pressure of the "Lost Decade of Child Protection" finally caught up with Japan. In 2014, Japan criminalized the "simple possession" of child pornography under the revised Child Prostitution and Child Pornography Act . More critically for "Saki," the law banned the production and distribution of "child porn" (defined as images of minors under 18 depicting genitalia or sexual intercourse). However, a loophole remained: (e.g., swimsuit, underwear) remained legal if not deemed "sexually explicit."
