Taiwan will roll out "angel" and "devil" metro cards featuring a Japanese porn star next week, despite a public outcry and a previous decision to scrap the project.
Taiwan to launch softer than soft porn-star metro cards
Japanese adult film actress Yui Hatano will appear on a limited-edition charity series of Taiwan EasyCards, which users swipe to enter metro stations and buy goods at convenience stores.

"We will issue the 'devil' edition Yui Hatano cards beginning September 1 as originally planned," EasyCard Corp said in a statement, referring to the sexier of the two cards. The softer "angel" cards will be released after a change in theme after hearing "input from various parties," it said.
"We expect to launch the 'angel' edition cards in mid-September, following a redesign."
