It's a classic trick. Pretend to help when your motivations are much less pure. A female high school student (15) was in the part that connects two train carriages on a train in Wakayama prefecture hen a company employee from south Osaka groped her breasts. The twenty-one-year old's fantastic lead-in on the busy evening rush hour express from Osaka's Namba Station to Wakayama City was to be a good citizen. "It's dangerous. It's shaking!" he said as he grabbed her. No doubt he thought that her fear of the shaking carriage corridor would distract her from the hands now on her ...

A 42-year-old man has been arrested for having sex with high school girls. The company employee would approach girls on the street, offer to pay them ¥70,000 or even as much as ¥300,000 if he could also film the exploits. After they were all finished at a hotel in Taito ward in Tokyo he would then ask them to wait on the street while he went to fetch money. Of course, that would be the last they would see of him. He has claimed to have had sex with close to 100 high school girls in this way. Likely if he had actually made good on his promise and paid the girls there ...

Imagine you are a young Japanese girl. You are on a train. You sit down. You put on some earphones and listen to music. You close your eyes. Probably you are tired and just want some rest on the way home. You have made a fatal mistake. That's what one Japanese girl in her twenties found out on a train in Saitama on April 25th. She was rudely awakened from her semi-slumber to find that a stranger's lips were locked around hers. While her eyes had been closed, a man, Toshimitsu Ishibashi (49), had decided to kiss her. The man was from Saitama's Kasukabeshi and worked as a ...

With fame and sudden popularity comes unwanted side-effects. Curvy over-thirty sexpot Mitsu Dan is not afraid of stripping off and revealing all, but she has acquired some undesirable fans among her legions of admirers. After her home was shown on a TV program, she has had men apparently hanging around in her neighborhood. Most celebrities and idols move to luxury condos when they hit the big time, but Dan (32) has continued to live in her modest apartment since her break happened almost over night and she hasn't had time to catch up with her new-found lifestyle. She ...

The old favorites are the best. We are pleased to welcome actress Saki Takaoka back to the big screen. Now 40 years old and still a stunner, Takaoka will be performing her first nude scene in 17 years in a new film, Monster, to be released in Japan on April 27. She is well known for her nude scenes in films in the 1990s (like Crest of Betrayal in 1994 -- see the first pic below) and the "hair nude" (full-frontal nude) photo book one, two, three she released in 1995 in her heyday. (Such celebrity "hair nude" photo books were really popular in the mid-1990s.) She stopped performing ...

Another day, another celebrity lady bites the dust. Despite having split up with her boyfriend in January, popular fashion model Maki Nishiyama has announced that she is five months pregnant. After a few days of will-they-won't-they, she and her actor ex-boyfriend Taichi Saotome have not only got back together, but are getting married. Perhaps she announced the pregnancy to put pressure on him to do the honorable thing? Still, this is another case of dekikkon, proving that even famous girls are not the kind to say no to a man who doesn't like to use condoms -- and unfortunately has ...

On April 7th the Kanamara Matsuri was held in Kawasaki, near to Tokyo, and one of the most popular of Japan's phallic fertility festivals. The highlight of the festival is the parade of the giant cock through the streets as it is processed between two shrines. This is stroked and touched by the crowds as it passes. This year saw the largest number of visitors ever, around 50,000 people and ten times more than the crowds were ten years ago. It is said to be now the largest festival of its kind in Japan. There were times when television channels would pixellate images of the ...

Toshiki Hanai, a twenty-eight-year-old assistant district court judge in Osaka, has perhaps not surprisingly lost his job. When you get caught filming up a girl's skirt (panchira) on a train, you might reasonably expect there to be repercussions if you are supposed to be an upholder of the law! That's what Hanai was apparently caught doing in August 2012. Another male passenger spotted the nimble judge squatting down on the crowded commuter train during the morning rush hour, trying to get a good view with his smartphone of the heavenly world up a girl's skirt. The valiant ...
