At least those appear to be legal in Japan and they at least illustrate the article. That's slightly less of a problem than photographs, though not very much less.
I am on a plane at the moment (to Japan, ironically enough) and so I can't look at that link until I land. So I can only speak generally a few thoughts about this sort of thing.
One way that we have sensibly handled difficult external links in the past, is to print them, but as text, not as links, along with appropriate warnings. This could be the right answer in some cases.
Consider GNAA's [[Last Measure]] as an example. There is absolute no way we should ever have an actual link that sets off this monstrosity (*) for an end user, but we might merely print the link with sufficient warning to the end user about what will happen to them if they are foolish or experimental enough to paste it into their browser.
Why? This helps ensure that no user ever absentmindly clicks on this thing by accident.

(*) In case you don't know about it, Last Measure takes advantage of Evil Javascript Tricks to pop up dozens or hundreds of windows on your computer, of various sorts of not-safe-for-anyone images, along with a loud voice saying 'Hey everybody, I'm looking at gay porn!' You have to kill your browser or perhaps even reboot your computer to make it stop. It is evil.
