AKB48 handshaking events, when fans can "meet" their idols, have come into attention again. Team B's Rie Kitahara (21) -- and probably only one of the only two genuinely hot AKB48 members -- has fallen under the obsessive attention of one male fan, who wrote on an anonymous message board: We argued about her hair [at a handshaking event]. It's bad of me but I think of Rie-chan totally as my think. It pains me that other people are appraising her. Countless otaku believe they are the actual boyfriends of the girls, which is why they react so ferociously when Rina Sashihara ...

Good news, guys. Those zero-cup flat-chested girls will be off the market, leaving only ladies with more ample chests. As we've said before, Japanese girls are notoriously small in the bust area. But if you've ever wanted your suspicions answered that Japanese guys all have Lolita Complex and want as young-looking a woman as possible, this might be the closest to proof there is. A survey by Love Cosme has found that a surprising majority of the nation's men no only do not mind about small breasts but they even WANT their woman to have an A-cup! I know, bizarre, huh? The June ...

Kidnapped people famously can end up joining their captors, and hostages can turn into terrorist sympathizers. Well, here's a new take on the Stockholm Syndrome. When a TV station dispatches one of its reliable female journalists to report on an outdoor nudist camp at a secret location in the Japanese countryside, it expects her to get deep into the story and deliver a fully formed report. Well, they get more than they bargain for the with the Weekend Only Japanese Nudist Village, a "kikaku" ("project") genre Japanese porn epic set in the far rural resort that is home to a group ...

It's not just about naked bodies. As we all know, lingerie plays a vital role in foreplay and the fun that happens before the real fun begins. Well, now you can know the colors Japanese girls like to select for when they put on their shobu shitagi (sexy underwear for that special occasion).

A recent survey of 200 women aged between 20 and 39 who are having affairs yielded some interesting results. 76 women said they started their affair following work drinks or eating out with their colleagues, while only 44 revealed it was the more conventional course of becoming closer by working together. 16 said it was from consulting about their job -- i.e. asking the man what they should do about a problem, like a father figure. Over half of the respondents said their partner worked on the same floor as them or was even closer in the office, thus probably leading to some awkward ...

We just read an interesting column on CNNgo about visiting a New Half (transgender) show in Ginza, of all places. Ginza is known for being one of the first parts of Tokyo to attempt westernization. It nows has wide boulevards, old department stores and the spectacle that is Asia's debut Abercrombie and Fitch. Surprisingly, the newhalf (or "New Half") show is not at Abercrombie but at a club called Konparu-za, a glitzy affair referencing Takarazuka, the all-female semi-drag ultra-camp Broadway musical troupe. Here's how CNN describes the show: The show itself is a nonstop ...

It's only a couple of days since we blogged about Ryosuke Handa's very sexy photography and now we find another interesting example of Japanese cameramen doing what they do best. Motoyuki Kobayashi has set himself the task of recording the "innocent youth" he sees in schoolgirls. Nothing sexual or kinky here -- no, it's all about seeing a "ray of life". He wants to produce an action of "good social chain" [sic] to combat all the bad stuff in the world. Yeah, right. Okay, so why only girls? And why the alluring poses? So far he has done over 500 schoolgirls in Japan ...

Remember the music event, Tengu A Night!!, the special music event in May sponsored by Tenga, Japan's most innovative and exciting designer sex toy? Being the super busy sex addicts we are, always on the look out for new and dirtier stories, in the end we were sadly too tied up to attend the event at Womb, Tokyo's top nightclub. Apparently the largest number of visitors were single men, though the crowd also included foreigners and straight and gay couples. Mercifully, someone else could attend and take some photos. It looks awesome! Photos are by Misaki Ichimura, ...
