<tabber>Japanese=
香港97をプロデュースした『ミスター陳』率いるモモゲラーズデザインが、またまたヤバイソフトを企画した。内容は身体画像集だが、コレはマズイでしょう。モノクロ調なので初心者でも大丈夫との事。好き嫌いが思いっきり別れるソフトだ。
|-|English=
Momogerāzu Design, led by Mr. Chin who produced Hong Kong 97, has come up with another shocking software. The content is a collection of body images, but this is crossing the line. They claim it's okay for beginners because it's in monochrome. This software is something that will strongly divide opinions.
