As we know, AKB4 hottie Haruna Kojima is a face (and body) of Japanese lingerie brand Peach John.
The latest exploitative ad campaign features Haruna -- officially, according to the AKB rules, a virgin -- getting frigid in the ice. She freezes a foreign guy trying to make advances on her.
In the end, Haruna is seduced by a dashing foreigner who takes off her clothes. She then goes off arm-in-arm with the gaijin, no doubt to break some of those AKB rules on no sex before graduating.
The whole ad is a sort of pastiche of the Disney movie Frozen, which has been a phenomenal ...
It's election time and we don't mean for a new prime minister. It's AKB48 "General Election" time.
But with the biggest stars (no more Mariko Shinoda, Yuko Oshima or Atsuko Maeda) already out of the world's most populous music group, AKB48's star is beginning to wane and recent album sales have been lower.
In the annual general election, fans can buy votes -- yes, vote-rigging is legal in the music industry in Japan -- that come with CDs. This encourages the crazies to go, well, crazy.
One fan of minor member Juri Takahashi has allegedly gone so far as to purchase ¥31,502,400's ...
We all know that college students have a lot of sex (if they're lucky) and that it's an age when you explore things. After a few drinks you might even try some kinky stuff with your new partner.
Well, that's all going to stop at one Japanese university.
Kinki Daigaku used to call itself "Kinki University" in English, an apparently harmless reference to the name of its region. Well, maybe they were more innocent times back in 1949 when the university was founded and the English name decided.
However, being pronounced "kinky" and spelt almost the same, the name naturally causes a lot of ...
We all have fantasies about the sexy nurse who knows how to tuck you in.
Well, at least one nurse in Osaka really did have the know-how, cultivated through experienced at her second job.
Tokyo Reporter has picked up a nice story from the media about the Osaka Medical Center and Research Institute for Maternal and Child Health, which has suspended a 24-year-old nurse from work because the young nurse was also employed at an Osaka “fashion health” (a type of sex club) from August 2013 to April this year.
The nurse was accused of violating internal regulations regarding side ...
Who says old people can't think about sexy stuff? Not in Osaka, that's for sure.
Japan's traditionally roguish second city's residents came up with a great way to revitalize Fuminosato Shotengai, an old shopping street.
They created a series of ironic and eye-catching posters about the local businesses. What we loved the most were the particularly risque posters which showed that even when the demographic skewers older, the mind still skewers dirtier.
They ran a poster design competition to support the remaining shops in the arcade, once a thriving commercial street but which, like ...
Have you ever watched Japanese pornography? Have you ever had sex with a Japanese girl or listened to someone else having sex with one?
It's not all girls but a large number will make noises the likes of which you never imagined could come from a partner.
Is it crying? Is it high-pitched moaning? Is it screaming?
Either way, it can be very off-putting for some, not to mention embarrassing in case your neighbors hear. After all, you're not raping the girl!
But then they also saying things like kimochii (feels good) and iku iku (I'm coming).
Why do they do it? No one has a ...
Wow, this is big. We have been worried about police crackdowns for a while, especially with the upcoming Olympics likely to become an excuse for exerting state power.
Could this be the tip of the iceberg?
Police have raided one of Tokyo's top BDSM clubs, KUNKUN. The Ueno club is pretty big (we've been there) and also fairly new (it opened in mid-2012). It is the base of one of Japan's best-known shibari (kinbaku) rope bondage art masters, Hajime Kinoko (Hideto Hiramatsu).
Of course, there is a thin line between being bondage club where a show may take place and being a "happening" ...
Photographer Hal is, as the name suggests, a photographer in Japan. While that may not sound unusual, one glance at his output and you'll see this is not the stuff you tend to encounter on Flickr.
Photographer Hal creates amazing vacuum-packed photography in which naked couples embrace each other in a plastic bag.
"Photographer Hal started packing couples together in futon vacuum bags to preserve their love forever. The process to achieve this eternal image is very organic and each couple can only be left inside the seal bag for 10 seconds."
Using futon sealing bags, the ...
Durex, the condom brand, have an interest in things sexual.
This doesn't just mean marketing their prophylactic, it also means studying global sex habits.
From Durex's Sexual Wellbeing Survey (2007/2008) and Face of Global Sex (2012), they gained some insights into international bedroom tendencies among heterosexual couples.
The Japan results intrigued us...
The main conclusion is that apparently people in Japan are very unhappy with their sex lives.
Japan was the only country where more people said they were dissatisfied with their sex lives than satisfied.
See the chart ...
There are fetishes and then there are fetishes. This is one of those extreme ones.
An Osaka taxi driver has been arrested for drugging a female passenger. We are familiar with unpleasant tales of taxi drivers and female passengers, but this is something new.
Toshihiko Nishi (41) was arrested on May 7th on suspicion of giving a passenger snacks laced with a powerful diuretic. He then steadfastly refused to let the passenger out even as her situation grew more and more desperate.
Nishi has apparently admitted the charges and said the reason was he gets sexually aroused by women displaying ...
