Pizap Shake Your Body & Soul: Parody swaying breasts virtual reality system
April 9, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
A "trailer" for "Pizap Shake Your Body & Soul" by Marvelous Entertainment has been generating some horny mirth in Japan and overseas.
The virtual reality game parody video has been created by the "Department of Hyper Enormous Boobage Development" to showcase "New Rinjokan", a game machine offering a more realistic experience.
The solution to the problem of perfectly swaying breasts was apparently "Pizap" (don't ask us how this is different to what they call "New Rinjokan").
To use the product, the player has to run on a conveyor belt to make the breasts on a mannequin shake. This ...
Vagina artist Rokudenashiko (Megumi Igarashi) releases manga book about her arrests and “crimes”
April 6, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japan is a country where the Kanamara penis festival (held yesterday) is fine but the depiction of the female genitalia is not.
The two arrests of Rokudenashiko (Megumi Igarashi) have caused a furore around the world -- to be accurate, mostly around the world, not in Japan. The overseas press is much more interested in the tale of Igarashi and her arrests for distributing "obscene" materials.
Igarashi calls herself a "vagina artist". Her artist name means “Good-For-Nothing Girl” and she has proved up to the image, not least in the eyes of the vice squad.
Her "art of the ...
It is said that half of all sex in Japan happens in a love hotel. 1% of the population uses a love hotel on any single day; something like 1,370,000 couples. A large proportion of the nation's new babies are conceived in a love hotel. There are 500 million visits a year. Room occupancy is 600-700% in some busy establishments -- 78.8 stays per room per month!
The love hotel industry has an annual turnover of ¥4 trillion yen, which is around four times the operating profits of Toyota and double the anime industry. And yet it's cars and anime that the government wants to push as the face ...
Iiniku Ushijima makes Japanese porn debut

Japan's top cosplayer, Iiniku Ushijima, is set to make her JAV porn debut at long last.
Sadly not.
This was an April Fool's Day joke by a Japanese porn label.
A million cocks sprung up when Prestige made the "announcement"... on April 1.
No, Japan's slinkiest cosplay idol is not switching over to the porn industry (yet).
It wasn't the only adult-themed April Fools' Day prank, though.
Feast, the lingerie line for A-cup Japanese girls designed by the cute Gomi Hayakawa, suddenly had a male spinoff. Hayakawa announced Beast, apparently her new brand of male lingerie, which look ...
World media falls for Yasue Tomita, 61-year-old star of Japanese silver porn

/ Tadashi Anahori
Another week, another sex-themed article about Japan gets written and hawked around.
AFP has written an article about Japan's "silver porn" industry and the wire service has sold it to countless other publications around the world.
We've seen these pieces before, such as in The Guardian.
And of course, it's hardly news.
There has been a vibrant silver porn for a long time, featuring a host of stars like Yumi Kazama and Shigeo Tokuda. And it's not just performers: the over-sixty crowd is very active in watching porn, frequenting love hotels, and also visiting soaplands and ...
“Make-up Room”: A new film about the people who do make-up for porn stars in Japan
April 1, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Make Room (Make-Up Room) is a new drama film about a fascinating topic: the people who do the make-up for porn stars.
It's written and directed by Kei Morikawa, and stars Aki Morita as the titular make-up artist, as well as three actual porn stars: Riri Kuribayashi, Beni Ito, Nanami Kawakami.
Originally a play by Morikawa, it promises to show the behind-the-scenes of the adult video industry. It gets a limited release in Japan in May.
It reminds us of an interview we once read with a man claiming to have worked for a while as a hair and make-up artist for porn stars in Japan, ...
Rie Saito: the single mother deaf Ginza hostess-turned-politician
March 30, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
The Japan Times published a recent article about the fascinating -- and inspiring -- tale of Rie Saito.
Saito, who lost her hearing at age 1, plans to run in the April 26 election in Tokyo’s Kita Ward Assembly as a Nippon wo Genki ni Suru Kai (Party to Revitalize Japan) candidate. A best-selling author who was once the No. 1 hostess at a club in Tokyo’s Ginza district, Saito was known as the hitsudan hostess who used writing to communicate with her customers.
So this hottie would use paper to keep her patrons happy in Ginza and encourage them to buy her drinks.
Being a ...
Saki Otsuka photography exhibition “MEME” in Koenji in April
March 27, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Porn star Saki Otsuka turned herself into a photographer a little while ago now when she released her photography book "Mitsubai nude" in 2012. Since then she's produced quite an impressive body of work.
Once again working with ERECT magazine, the occasional publication with the best name in the world, Saki Otsuka has created "MEME", a touring exhibition of her work taking in Fukuoka, Osaka and Tokyo.
It's perhaps no surprise that Saki isn't shooting pictures of flowers or pretty landscapes. Her photography is dark and focuses a lot on naked flesh, including her own, it seems. The ...
Former AKB48 manager Takashi Nodera arrested, imprisoned for filming illicit naked videos of idols
March 26, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Former office48 (part of the AKS group) executive Takashi Nodera has been arrested and imprisoned for filming illicit naked videos of the young idols under his charge.
There has been total silence on this so far in the mainstream media, as well as, needless to say, from the powers that be at AKS, the company that runs the juggernaut that is AKB48.
But the tabloids have fortunately broken the story.
Takashi Nodera hid secret cameras in bathrooms, dressing rooms and hotel rooms between 2009 and 2010 to film the girls, possibly under age, while they relaxed without clothes ...
Tenga Iroha Robo: Japanese netizens create vibrator mecha robot

When you need something done, crowdsource it. And we know that Japanese netizens are a creative and resourceful bunch.
For Valentine's Day (when girls give guys chocolates in Japan), Tenga became the Tenga Robo... a mecha creation for pleasuring the men.
For White Day (March 14th, when the guys give chocolates to the girls in Japan), Japan's netizens reciprocated and turned Tenga into a Iroha-integrated robot. As shared on Twitter in an ever more outlandish series of images, the Tenga Iroha Robo was artistically very impressive.
