The game is called "Battle Raper 2". If the name is not obscene enough for Western consumption, take a look at the game's description.
The game is a 3D fighter where you are able to knock the female opponent's clothing off through combat. The story line has no relations to the original Battle Raper. In Battle Raper 2 there is no raping in the whole game even though the title may imply that there is. In this Battle Raper you also have the option of editing the clothing and weapons of characters.Battle Raper 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't know how this game has not caused outrage in Japan, but society there must have a totally different attitude to women than we do. Believe me, I'm as much a fan of Japan as the next person, but there has to be an explanation as to why there is even a market for this game. Does the common video game buyer even know what the word "rape" means? If not, did the developers even look at what this word means in an English dictionary?
Hypothetically speaking, if this game ever made it to North American shores, I wonder how Jack Thompson would handle it. He's already thrown hissy fits over much tamer fare. Not that I want this game to have a North American distributor either.

Rape translates directly into Japanese, and the meaning is known by everyone ("rape" is often used in the place of the Japanese word for rape - okasu/goukan).
While the game is in bad taste, and most Japanese do not approve of the game, they are still bought by someone, meaning that they are still produced, sold in adult stores, and played in private. In the end, is it that much different to games produced in America that promote extreme violence?
