Last Saturday sexy thirtysomething model Mitsu Dan made the pitch for a game in Akita and did so in her typically alluring style.
We're not sure how this would have gone down with the mothers in the stadium or watching on TV, but the dads seemed to love it at any rate.
After coming out in the team uniform, Dan quickly defies the usual way of doing things by stripping down to a very revealing swimsuit to throw her pitch, and then proceeds to frolic with the team mascot.
Apparently the ...
Shijonawate City in Osaka prefecture has punished two twenty-year-old firefighters with a six-month suspension.
What did they do wrong?
They appeared in a porn film.
Firefighters in Japan have a reputation for playing the field, earning good money and spending it on girls. These two clearly wanted to combine the two by getting some extra cash for making an appearance in an adult flick.
Apparently they were approached at Suma beach near Kobe in August last year by a scout. "You've got good bodies. Would you let us film you screwing some girls?"
They then went to a nearby condo and got ...

Tokyo Reporter has blogged a story from the tabloids that reveals the notoriety of Osaka is not without merit.
A gangster from the Yamaguchi-gumi, Tatsuya Kajiwara, has been arrested for employing minors at the establishments under his control in Osaka, all so-called girls' bars.

The decor will be typically rather kitsch or sporty, than sexy, and have a fixed bar behind which the flirty girls -- always young and not usually glamorous like hostesses -- ...
