We were waiting with bated breath and they delivered: Tenga, Japan's top adult brand, has blasted off to the edge of space! The whole launch of the Tenga Rocket -- part of the Space Tenga project implemented with such partners as entrepreneur Takafumi Horie -- was broadcast live online. The MOMO6 rocket left terra firma on July 31 from the launch site in Hokkaido, achieving speeds of around 92 km some four minutes after launch and succeeding in releasing its payload. It marks the first such space launch by a private enterprise in Japan. As previously reported, the payload was a ...

While the Tokyo Olympics enters its second week, the athletes are apparently not having sex in the Olympics Village. But that is certainly not the case for Japanese porn stars, who are kept busy in a prodigious industry that pumps out thousands of new releases each year. In a recent photo shoot, five top Japanese adult video stars posed nude for a "naked Olympics" in which they showed off their athletic prowess (as well as their lovely bodies). Here is Ayaka Mochizuki doing karate. The flexible Rui Minagawa displays her gymnastics abilities. This is Emily (Hikari Sakuraba, Ellen ...

Japan is often praised for its minimalist design aesthetic. This is then thrown to the wind (or rather, the dogs!) when you go to a love hotel and encounter garishness that makes Gaudí architecture look positively tame in comparison. Similarly for web design, where Rakuten rules supreme despite its utter UX clusterfuck. If Amazon is like shopping in a modern supermarket, Rakuten is like walking unprepared into a medieval souk! But this chaotic, garish design has its own kind of aesthetic, a craftsmanship that deserves respect and generates a certain culture. Now Rakuten and love hotels are ...

It's been a long and hard journey, but the Olympics are finally opening in Tokyo today. If you're an athlete, you will have to put up with "anti-sex" beds (not actually true!) and exhortations not to screw fellow athletes in the Olympic Village (OK, this one is sadly true). If you're one of the tens of thousands of hangers-on, you are nominally stuck in a bubble around the venues, though we have already seen plenty of people wandering around (and many more online, looking to hook up with Japanese girls easily impressed by their Olympic credentials). We will be participating in our own ...

Every time the Olympics are held, the Olympic Village becomes infamous as a place for athletes to hook up. This year, as previously reported, such fraternizing is being discouraged and the distributed condoms are officially recommended as mementos for athletes to take home rather than use during the Games. Not so for the tens of thousands of other people coming to Tokyo as part of the entourages. And as Farrah Akase found, many of them are already in the city and actively going online on Bumble to find locals to hook up with. (Presumably Tinder and other apps are similar.) Farrah ...

How old is too old? When you're an "idol," especially in the music industry, the expectation is that you must be young -- mid-twenties at most. In a sign that makes us feel, well, old, the early members of AKB48 are now pushing three-oh, if not beyond, but are still determined to milk their fandom. Today marks Yuki Kashiwagi's thirtieth birthday and has released a photo book, "Experience," to celebrate. It's her first photo book in nine years. But she's no longer the sweet and innocent young girl of those previous releases; she's now an experienced woman with a body that she wants to show ...

We love onaholes and pocket pussy toys. We reckon we buy and use a lot. But this guy puts us to shame. Onanist Take, who maintains a Pornhub and Twitter account, spent a small fortune on masturbators and then had a bath with them. What would that look like, you may ask. Could you even get into the bath? Is there even a point? Wouldn't you damage the toys as you stepped and sat on them? Fortunately, he put the results of his noble endeavors online for us all to see. Apparently, there's 400 masturbator toys here, with a market value of a million yen! To put that number in perspective, it's ...

In all the recent fuse on this blog about gravure idols, photo books, and nude sex scenes on The Naked Director, it's been a while since we did a post like this. Please indulge us while we take a trip down amateurs' lane. Couples in Japan visiting a love hotel for an intimate session may often pose for a nude selfie in front of a mirror to mark the occasion either before or after they get down to action. Inevitably in such a day and age, these leak online and others get to view and enjoy the images. For the ethically dubious purpose of edifying our readers, we have brought together a ...

Preparations continue for the 2021 Olympic Games, despite the ongoing pandemic and public opposition, and various downsizing measures that have divorced the events almost completely from the host city. In the latest development, the athletes will have to endure many rules and restrictions on their activities at the Olympic Village during their stay. This includes regulations on fraternization and leaving their rooms. Organizers don't even want athletes eating in groups. Or sleeping together, it seems. Famously, the Olympic Village serves to facilitate a lot of sex: thousands of athletes who ...

Old strip clubs were already on a downward, possibly terminal spiral even before corona hit. The pandemic then wiped out the intimacy-based business model for all kinds of strip shows, not to mention hostess and host clubs and even fuzoku sex services. But perhaps especially the vintage burlesque and strip clubs were more precarious than others, being frequented by older clientele and located often in small premises (and in regional areas). We already reported in one long-running strip club in Ehime's struggle to stay afloat during the crisis. There are relatively few such old clubs left in ...
