American film website TC Candler has issues its yearly list of "most beautiful faces".
Japanese girls featured: Satomi Ishihara was at #32, followed by Nozomi Sasaki at #41, Mirei Kiritani at #46, Haruka Shimazaki (from AKB48) at #56, (recently married to yet another foreigner) Ayumi Hamasaki at #60, and finally Aya Ueto at #99.
Despite the ubiquity on Japanese advertising of people like Atsuko Maeda, Emi Takei and Ayame Goriki, they were nowhere in sight and so can be presumed to have little to no global presence. So much for Dentsu.
Kiritani was at #12 last year while ...
Happy Christmas, everyone!
Here's something we really wish Santa would bring... Some sexy Japanese girls in Santa cosplay outfits!
This is one Japanese idol tradition that we certainly still believe in.

Sayaka Oonuki
Momoko Tani
Mizuki Hoshina
Ayaka Komatsu
Enjoy the ...
Haruna Kojima, the 25-year-old AKB48 idol who we believe is the only major AKB girl with anything worth talking about, has released her first photo book "Kojiharu".
Just in time for Christmas, the book features a selection of hot images, not least one in which Haruna is doing her best to promote the AKB tradition of the te-bura -- or "hand bra".
AKB girls have a habit of doing this kind of shot, though at least this time there is no child involved.
Here are some luscious snaps from behind the scenes.
And just to prove how nice ...
Over December 6 and December 9, Japanese Facebook dating app Match Alarm did an online survey of 2,944 male and female Japanese singles in their twenties and thirties.
It found some surprising results, most notably that 81.3% of Japanese single women would want an older man for a partner.
On the other hand, compounding the stereotype that all Japanese men want innocent maids and anime characters, the survey found that nearly 47% of men wanted a lover who was younger.
Things get more logical when broken down into age groups. Both men (51.2%) and women (over 90%!) prefer an older lover ...
Soft on Demand has canceled the release of a porn film featuring the debut of a 21-year-old former actress who graduated from a "noted musical school." No names were specified but it is an open secret that the school was Takarazuka, who have brought out the legal guns to stop their name being "tarnished."
Takarazuka is of course the all-female cabaret theatre troupe based in the Osaka area that inspires a devout following among fans, who travel from all over the country to see the women play either the male or female roles in kitschy musicals at theaters in Osaka, Tokyo or other major ...
We are no stranger to ploughing the non-kinky fields of Japanese lingerie. Sure the flesh on display may not be anywhere near as revealing as Japanese adult video world or even Gravure idols, but frankly, it is more than enough
Along with rival brand Ravijour, Peach John are famously very risque in their models, including with celebrity young ladies like AKB48's Haruna Kojima.
They can also perform magic: Converting a modest A-cup bust into something very big and very sexy. For flat-chested Japanese girls, this is a life-saver.
Now take a look at the lingerie Peach John has created ...
If you spot a man with scissors on a train, he may not be dangerous but he may be seeking out an unusual method for satisfying his fetish.
Especially if he is Masamitsu Ando.
Chiba police arrested Ando last Thursday for cutting the skirt of a junior high school student the previous day.
The schoolgirl was on a JR train very early in the morning from from Tateyama to Chiba when the 41-year-old company employee used scissors to cut her skirt when she was sleeping in the seat next to him.
Young girls should know better than to dozen on trains in Japan, given the danger of being ...
The Japanese celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve with sex.
December 24th is the day everyone looks forward to because on that evening it is the time for couples to go out on expensive dates, and love hotels are always packed in the evening.
Basically, no one bothers with December 25th, since they do all the important stuff on Christmas Eve.
Oh, and they like to eat KFC. So chicken and sex.
Taro and I will be getting some chicken in but have gone past the time when we expect to go on dates.
That's why we were glad to have a chance to do some dressing up. Enter the To Aru ...
Ryoma Sakamoto was a famous figure the era when Japan shifted from a feudal nation to a modern one. He is one of the most popular samurais in Japanese history.
But it's also the name of a 30-year-old unemployed guy in Ome City, north Tokyo.
This Ryoma Sakamoto was informed by his girlfriend that she wanted to break up with him and the "samurai" was mighty pissed off. So pissed off he set about a plan of action, as any hero would.
His plan was revenge. And it involved home-made porn. Yes, it was, as it is known, "revenge porn."
He began to threaten his thirtysomething girlfriend who he ...
Caught in the act.
A smart lady has caught a man trying not too discreetly to snap a shot of her panties while sitting opposite her on the train.
She then put it on Twitter for the world to see.
If her tweets are to be believed, she would appear to be a high school student.
This kind of thing happens every day in Japan. There are lots of perverts on the trains, including so-called respected professionals.
It reminds us of this other incompetent snapper on a train, himself photographed being none too subtle about his under-the-skirt ...
