We've long been an advocate that Haruna Kojima is one of the very few girls in the AKB48 millions who is genuinely attractive (along with the lovely Rie Kitahara!)
So here's some good news.
Haruna has been chosen by sexy Japanese lingerie brand Peach John to be their new face (and body) modeling the spring line-up.
Here she is showing off the new Workbra and also her own svelte figure (oh, and apparently trying to speak French).
Haruna's choice by Peach John also represents a victory of sorts as the lingerie maker tends to choose haafu for its models (for their exotic ...
Raku-mo, a portal for Rakuten, Japan's biggest online retailer, has a novel approach to picking out the "highlights" from all the various apparel and fashion sellers out there.
It collates various lingerie and clothes items by the images of models advertising them and then allows you to rank and rate these girls.
We like the ways you can filter searches: Highly Rated Models, New Models, Most Popular Models, Most Commented About Models...
So for all you guys out there who had their pubescent years pre-internet frantically searching their mum's clothes mail order catalogue ...
Sometimes we think that Japanese photographers cannot get any kinkier or, to put it more positively, any more original.
But they can.
Take Kaopan., a new photography book.
It features a series of Japanese schoolgirls looking cute as they always do while wearing... um, panties on their faces?
The title basically sums it up -- "face panty".
It went on sale officially from today and can be bought in certain bookstores, such as K-Books in Akihabara.
A kind of play on the manga Hentai Kamen, which features a hero whose superpowers derive from wearing panties on ...
We all know Hooters, the ever-so-slightly sexist and tacky restaurant chain with busty girls doing what they do best -- revealing their busts in tight tops while serving your drinks.
Now you can choose which of Hooters Japan's ladies should be selected as the best piece of totty in the restaurant in this Miss Hooters Japan Contest.
There are 55 entries to vote among and the website tells you their stats, interests -- and importantly, gives you more photos showing off their legs!
But be careful! You only get one vote so use it well. The online poll closes on February 14th. ...
Trust an otaku imagination to come up with this.
Previewed at Wonder Festival and spotted by Akiba Blog, this butt pencil sharpener (お尻鉛筆削り) -- a picture of a naked girl's derrière with a sharpener covered in putty.
Crude engineering for a crude design. Yes, some people never grow out of schoolboy humor.
The results are kind of great at the same time, though!
It was retailing at ¥500, or just over $5.
A bargain, one might say. However, we can't see this going over too well in the office.
We have to say, though. Almost no Japanese girls have ...
Imagine you are out in Shinjuku for some shopping and food.
You need the ladies' room so you head to the nearest facility.
And then up ahead of you in the small cubicle, a floor-to-ceiling-sized giant head called "Ten Chi" starts to move towards you!
Yes, this is ordinarily the stuff of nightmares -- only it actually existed, at the Seiryumon Taiwanese restaurant in Shinjuku.
Here's a video giving you some idea of the experience that awaited intrepid lavatory visitors.
Sadly the restaurant closed in 2008 so now you can't pee while being crushed by a giant head.
This is ...
We've been enjoying a new Japanese adult film here at the Tokyo Kinky writing studio.
It's called Fifty Cocks Erection Tunnel and is produced by the ever-reliable Soft on Demand.
It's one of our favorite kinds of Japanese porn films, so-called kikaku "project" movies, which always involve some sort of unusual situation or challenge.
In this case, there are three ladies stripped to bikinis and they have to walk, crawl or otherwise get their way through a gauntlet of fifty erect cocks -- provided by a small army of masked men with no clothes except some skimpy underwear.
The ...
Who says the industry doesn't look after its own?
The Japanese porn world can get a bad rap, with lots of memoirs recently by former actresses recounting their woes and troubles after fucking and sucking their way through hundreds of men.
But the porn documentary The Other Side of Sex, currently playing at the leading film venue Uplink in Shibuya, will allow porn stars the chance to get in for a discounted ticket price.
Kind of a busman's holiday, the documentary is about the men of the JAV industry and so may prove all too familiar to the ladies.
However, the producers of the ...
Apologies for the excess in AKB48-related posts recently. There's just been so much to write about.
The latest member of the idol "music" group to hit the tabloid rumor lane is Yuki Kashiwagi.
She apparently went on a gokon, the group date very common among young people in Japan.
Yuki's late-night gokon might have been with Japanese soccer players and also famed Japanese porn star Kirara Asuka.
Yuki is 21 and officially single -- so there should be nothing scandalous about this. Except she works at AKB48 where the members are not allowed to have private lives.
This is ...
As we blogged back in December 2011, Masato Uchishiba (34), the judo champion who won two gold medals for Japan at Athens and Beijing Olympics, saw the final nail hammered into the coffin of his career recently when he was jailed for five years for rape.
He was charged with sexually assaulting a teenager, a member of the judo team that Uchishiba was coaching. She had consumed a lot of alcohol and then passed out in a hotel, and then Uchishiba made his move.
Uchishiba has maintained from the beginning that the sex with the teenager in 2011 was consensual, but the court in Tokyo ruled he ...
