The joy of the internet is that it makes us all equal. Long live the online democracy: now anyone can be a star thanks to YouTube and Nico Nico Douga.
North America has Justin Bieber. Japan has... well, a more interesting case study. One local example has been the orbital rise of Eririka Katagiri, a young lady who utilized Japanese video live streaming site Nico Nico Douga to make herself famous in front of her webcam.
After the Japanese teenager made a series of enticing and alluring videos, last year the then-nineteen year old Eririka danced naked, earning a legion of geek ...
A man has been arrested for pimping out teenaged girls via a deai-kei internet website. So-called deai-kei sites ("encounter" websites) are portals for meeting up with young ladies, often platforms for enjo kosai (dates with cash rewards) or open prostitution.
This time one man was calling the shots and had several underage girls on the site working for him. Atsuo Yoshinari (27) was a former host living in Shinjuku who, along with his two fellow arrested chums, admits the charges of prostituting a 17-year old girl. The fatal incident came in a love hotel in north Tokyo in June where the ...
Take a beautiful Japanese female artist and it's always going to be a fun day out.
Then she starts to make a series of beguiling, sensual images of hot Japanese female models, actresses and celebrities for magazines, adverts and exhibitions, and you have a truly great combination, popular with men and women alike.
That's what Asami Kiyokawa does, working with the likes of AKB48's Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima, and Yoko Maki, Masami Nagasawa and Asami Mizukawa.
A lot of CG work goes into the final images, transforming the beautiful women into peacocks, forest settings, or ...
It was just the other day that we blogged about sexy singer Takako Uehara getting her knickers in a twist about being accused of mafia links.
Is any sexy celebrity in Japan safe from the shadow of the mob? It seems not. Now it's the turn of Erika Sawajiri, long a troubled and tempestruous celebrity. Erika is still a mere sprig of a gal at 25 but has already retired from the entertainment industry and returned once. But now a magazine has dug up and published photos of an 18-year old Erika in a Roppongi club with an allegedly yakuza-connected guy.
Half French, half ...
We just spotted this interview with Shigeo Tokuda in the Guardian. Tokuda-san is 77 and has starred in over 350 JAV flicks, making even veterans like Maria Ozawa seem like newbies.
But he hasn't just been in so many because he is a long-timer. No, he only started when he was 60 and so in fact he has starred only in films made for Japan's rapidly aging population's tastes. That this has spawned such a vast library of titles shows the thirst the oldies have for watching someone their own age going at it.
Tokuda is a grandfather -- his name is a stage name but his daughter apparently ...
Following scandals with drugs -- including another one recently where she fled abroad for a while -- H-cup idol Minako Komukai (小向美奈子) shows no sign of giving up.
After losing her job through telling the truth about the industry (that idols have to have sex to progress into the mainstream entertainment world), previously she turned from idol to stripping, with a very enthusiastic reception.
Then she went the soft core root and appeared in some cheesy light BDSM-themed sex DVDs.
Now she has really thrown her towel in with the big girls. Soft on Demand (SOD) has ...
Here's a round-up of some fun and funky hentai porn or otherwise just weird kinky Japanese adult movies...
Japan is a country that is rapidly aging. Is it any surprise that people want to watch folk their own age going at it? These adorable two are in their seventies! Watch out for Maria Ozawa when she gets on a bit.
Now, I've heard of toilet fetishes. Golden shower. Sex on the toilet. In the bathroom. The usual suspects. But sex WITH a toilet? This one was new even for me. Yes, it's the "human toilet" porno.
Us j-girls are famously hairy down there. But did you know we can ...
We all like beer and we all like girls. Despite feminism and more sophisticated advertising methods, it's been the custom of Japanese beer companies to pick a pretty girl every year, and stick her in swim wear holding a beer on beach.
The bikinis seem to have disappeared in the last few years, though bars and restaurants often still display the older, tantalizing posters. I think this reflects the more sombre tone of recessionist Japan or could it be that feminism is finally penetrating the ad agencies?
Buxom, cheerful and smiling...that's the way a drinking man apparently wants his ...
Man! That was a big shock!
I was just browsing the website of a new girl band called Flower. Wow, these girls are hot, I was thinking. They sure are. They're also super young!
Yep, the oldest lass is 18 and they go down (ahem, not like that...maybe) as low as 14! Yes, you read that right -- 14! Apparently it seems to be part of the concept of the group but whatever. All I can say is wow, wow, wow...
There are nine girls in the group and they are just about to release their debut single. Here's wishing them success so that it will guarantee a load more photo shoots like ...
You join a website specializing in getting Japanese women. It's available in English, French, Korean and various others languages.
You meet a girl, tell her you are a doctor, and impress her with your Japanese skills. Hey presto, the girl's yours.
Well, Fumiko married Anthony Simoneau, a former dental technician in the Navy, who she met through online dating. Things didn't go so well for them in America and Anthony filed for divorce in 2002. He retracted the papers, though, just when Fumiko coincidentally had received a large inheritance and suddenly Anthony started buying cars and ...
