After generating uproar and surprise when they faked a new CGI member for an ice cream commercial, AKB48 have trumped us again by introducing the "real" Aimi Eguchi.
In front of 90,000 fans during a major concert, "Eguchi" joined the regular gals on stage for an encore!
It later emerged that we had been fooled again by those dastardly ladies! The performer was in fact 15-year-old Yukari Sasaki, who had been the voice behind the Glico Aimi Eguchi commercial, and was wearing special make-up to make her appear like the idol.
That's a tough thing to attempt since Aimi is famously formed of ...
Convicted murderer and rapist Ichihashi is clearly a sick guy. But what's worse than killing an innocent British teacher in cold blood in her apartment? Being his groupie.
Yes, at his recent trial in Chiba, just outside Tokyo, Tatsuya Ichihashi (32) attracted groups of female fans every day. The media dubbed them the "Ichihashi girls". Not sure whether they were there to support, admire or just because they had nothing better to do, but this is a new strain of moe for sure. Ichihashi-moe (市橋萌え)!
According to journalists reporting at the trial, they caught the groupies, aged from ...
According to a recently published international study, and contrary to conventional wisdom, cuddling and caressing are more important to men than women in a long-term relationship. Researchers, studying responses from adults in Japan, the United States, Brazil, Germany and Spain, also discovered that men were more likely to be happy in their relationships and that frequent kissing or cuddling was an accurate predictor of happiness for men.
Julia Heiman, the director of Indiana University's Kinsey Institute, which conducted the study, was quoted as being "[A] little surprised." with the ...
A now former high school teacher was recently arrested for a third time after spilling (or discharging) bodily fluids on a 23 year old co-ed in a parking lot in Tochigi Prefecture.
According to Sponichi the accused approached his victim in a parking lot and after hitting her with what I can only imagine to be a bit of his very own baby batter (the article isn't very specific as to what kind of body fluid it was...) simply told her, "You've got something on your sweater. Let me help you with that."
He then proceded to help her get his spunk off of her sweater, but not before taking ...
A new survey by the folks over at Time Out Tokyo has provided us an interesting snapshot of sexual habits in the nation's capital in 2011. Responding to a request from May 23rd, over 800 people eventually completed the survey, painting an illuminating picture of the sex lives of present-day Tokyoites.
With male respondents accounting for 61% of the total, females taking 39%, the survey delved into such issues as how long you would need to know somebody before having sex (answers running from mere hours to several years), who should initiate a pickup (seems the ball is in your ...
A man has been arrested in Tokyo for having three schoolgirls spit out saliva and filming them in the process. Toshihiko Mizuno, a jobless 55-year-old, was taken in on suspicion of "habitual indecency," which carries a penalty of up to one year in jail or a fine of one million yen ($12,400), a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department said.
Mizuno had separately approached three girls, aged nine and ten, in October and December of last year, either outside apartment towers or in the street. His modus operandi was to claim that he was conducting research on saliva and was in ...
Possibly the only thing better than the sight of a gorgeous girl, bound in submission to serve her master's every depraved whim, is the knowledge that said image is being auctioned for a good cause to boot. Three months on, the impact of the earthquake/tsunami and subsequent nuclear fears that rocked Japan is still being sorely felt by many in the country, and one big-hearted group of kinky artists based in San Francisco's Bay Area has stepped up to the plate in a big way, raising funds for the relief effort the best way they know how: through taking dirty pictures.
The event, ...
High-brow art is all well and good, but, when you get right down to it, we are all of us primarily concerned with one thing and one thing only. It should therefore come as a welcome but hardly surprising fact that the book that knocked Japanese national treasure Haruki Murakami's critically lauded 1Q84 into a not-at-all close 2nd place on Amazon.co.jp's bestseller list for last year has turned out to be a sex-tips manual - namely 'A Female Doctor Instructs in Really Enjoyable Sex'.
The book, an 'advanced level' compilation of lectures and notes, has sold more than 400,000 copies ...
Porn might be illegal in mainland China, but that hasn't stopped amply-bosomed sex-kitten Sora (or Sola) Aoi attaining a level of celebrity there practically unheard of for an adult actress (let alone a Japanese one).
With her Chinese name now registering more than 41 million page hits on Google (exceeding the not-inconsiderable likes of Mao Zedong, Yao Ming and Confucius) the sexy, savvy JAV idol's star is most definitely on the rise.
Having made her AV debut in 2002 (aged 18, in the Alice Japan release Happy Go Lucky!), the now-27-year-old Sora quickly branched out into other ...
AKB48's ever-lovely Atsuko Maeda is set to make a welcome return to our screens this July, playing the crossdressing lead character in a brand-new adaptation of Nakajo Hisaya's popular manga series Hanazakari no Kimitachi e.
Originally adapted as a TV series back in 2007, "Hana Kimi" is the story of Mizuki Ashiya, a Japanese high-schooler living in the USA, who, having fallen in love with troubled young sports' star Izumi Sano after seeing him on TV, moves to Japan and enrolls in his boys-only high school in order to get close to him. Fuji TV has announced that this will be a brand-new ...
