After witnessing the femdom butt-kicking action of idol Hitomi Nogata, we return to highlight some ladies from Niconico Chokaigi 2015.
The event is kind of a tech and otaku bonanza, organized by Niconico, a video streaming platform.
This year's event was held over two days on April 25th-26th and was the biggest yet. Visitors numbered over 150,000!
This being Japan, naturally that included a lot of cute cosplayers...
There were also some colorful (or should that be scary?) male cosplayers.

Regular readers will remember our trip to the Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) in Tokyo.
Then we encountered all manner of fun and not-so-fun fetishes.
One of the best was the idol kick.
For a small fee, you could pay to get your butt kicked by a scantily clad idol.
This is obviously a variation on femdom, the fetish for being dominated by a strong female. Whether it be with actual bondage or by a harsh, rapid handjob, some guys get off on being treated badly by a hot chick. In Japan, girls who are "cold" are called tsundere and this is similar. Or remember that TV show that had hot ...
Some time ago Tenga held a promo event at Enoshima, complete with scantily clad gyaru, DJs and "cool" people showing their love for Tenga Eggs.
Okay, this is from way back in 2012 but we thought the pictures were cool so wanted to share.
Summer is still a little while away but the hot weather in Tokyo this weekend got us in the mood for some action.

7.6% of people in Japan are gay, lesbian or have gender identity disorder.
That's according to a Dentsu survey published in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper on April 24th (and that's also the sway they word the "groupings" too). It equates to 1 in 13 people.
The results were released on April 23rd. They were conducted on around 70,000 adults in Japan through an online questionnaire.
A similar survey in 2012 found that 5.2% of people, or 1 in 19 people, identified as LGBT.
The new survey was conducted on April 7th and April 8th with 69,989 people aged 20-59 across Japan.
However, ...
Tenga has a habit of turning up in unusual places.
From the garbage on a beach to a Buddhist temple, a business card holder, and even once in the home of comedian Tomonori Jinnai when accidentally shown on a TV show.
Back in 2012 some people stumbled upon this Tenga Egg vending machine in Nakano Broadway, west Tokyo.
It's a gacha-gacha capsule vending machine, which makes sense for the Tenga Egg. You get a single Tenga Egg for ¥500 and if you are lucky enough to get a ticket in your capsule, you can take it inside to the shop to claim a porn DVD.
We don't think this is ...
We love to follow the developments of Japanese lingerie brands as ersatz soft-core porn.
The best are Ravijour and Peach John.
After all, no lingerie brand that invents something that stops men from unhooking a bra if they are not the right guy for you has got to have a nice sense of humor.
But we are sad to see that Ravijour has moved away from Japanese models!
In the past, our jaws have dropped at the hot ladies modeling their latest lingerie, including Elli Rose, Mai Miyagi and Azusa Koizumi.
But whereas Ravijour rival Peach John continues to be very "Japanese" in its ...
As we know, religion in Japan is traditionally not conservative or moralistic about sex.
Just look at the Shinto fertility festivals for a perfect example.
Shinto is full of raucous, erotic gods. The islands of Japan itself are said in mythology to have been formed out of sexual union between Izanagi and Izanami.
Shrines apparently have no trouble with people drawing on prayer plaques with bondage illustrations.
Religions run all sorts of non-religious businesses too, such as love hotels.
So we are not really surprised that Buddhism approves of Tenga.
Tenga recently ...
Japan's most high-profile lesbian couple held a "wedding ceremony" on April 19th to celebrate their union.
The ceremony is literally just ceremonial, since gay people are not allowed to get married in Japan.
Ex-Gravure model and television personality Ayaka Ichinose (34) and actress Akane Sugimori (28) announced their "marriage" in December last year and have no followed through with the big day itself.
Same-sex marriage is finally becoming a major issue in Japan.
Hotel Granvia in Kyoto now offers gay wedding ceremonies, in partnership with a local Buddhist temple, as does ...
Japanese politics can be a dull affair.
That's why when a candidate puts himself forward for consideration by the voting public in all his naked glory, people take notice.
Teruki Goto is standing in the April 26 Chiyoda ward assembly elections in central Tokyo. His campaign poster features his posing naked against a backdrop of imperialist iconography.

His rambling website seems to place Goto firmly in the ultra-nationalist camp, though we wonder what the uyoku think about his nude antics.
The thirtysomething wannabe politico has stood before as an independent ...
Larger ladies can be cute.
Though few and far between in Japan, some degree of love handles come in very handy (literally) and make a nice contrast to the chopping-board flatness of many women.
Despite the lack, there is demand. We've even seen foreigners who deliberately wanted larger local ladies.
There are chubby girl idols, larger lady porn and sex clubs, and even fat girl-themed onahole sex toys.
The truth is a little bit pocchari is very sexy.
Naomi Watanabe is a comedienne and riding a popular trend right now for larger girls, who even have their own magazine. ...
