Airi Rissen (็ซ‹ไป™ๆ„›็†) might well be one of the lesser-known idols in the AKB48 ranks, but that may change soon. The 21-year-old from AKB48 Team 8 and Kochi Prefecture representative was doing a live broadcast online while dressed in a sailor school uniform. That alone would probably send fans into raptures, but then she decided to stand up. Since she was wearing a skirt, fans were treated to a glimpse of the holy grail: her white panties. Oh, panchira. The treasured upskirt view of a woman's panties. As sought-after as the "real thing" (i.e., what's underneath those panties) by some. ...

Female athletes will receive better protection against voyeuristic photography while competing, the Japanese Olympic Committee has said. Working in partnership with the Japan Sport Association and All Japan High School Athletic Federation, the JOC is preparing concrete steps to prevent exploitative photos being taken and shared of athletes. Dressed in clothing designed to help them do their best in their competition, female sports athletes are easy prey for snappers, who can use a lens to zoom in on breasts and buttocks. Such images may then be shared online with offensive captions. This is ...

For years it has been notoriously difficult to get hold of: the morning-after pill. In Japan, for a woman to receive emergency contraception, she has to go to a doctor and get a prescription. And it's expensive, too. But women have been campaigning for years to remove the barriers blocking easy access to the morning-after pill, which is surely one of the reasons for so many shotgun weddings in Japan (including among many prominent celebrities). The current system is condemned as shaming and discriminatory, and is particularly a problem for victims of sexual assault, whose treatment by ...

Since apparently no one in Japan is getting married, having kids, or even having sex -- if you believe the media headlines -- perhaps we should take note of this cautionary tale of a woman who wanted to produce offspring without the customary hassle of finding a willing or capable partner. Starting a family is easy with a sperm donor, right? But what if you don't want to go through an expensive service or institution? Social media can help you out, right? Well, that's what one woman in her thirties thought, reports the Asahi. She searched Twitter for potential sperm donors and found a man ...

Panchira fans will be disappointed with the new TV adaptation of Wandering Witch -- The Journey of Elaina. Based on the popular light novel series and its manga version, the anime is one of the highlights of the fall TV season in Japan. But its original creator wants to keep it clean and accessible to a range of age groups. And this means no panty shots. In an interview with anime magazine Newtype, Jougi Shiraishi talked about the conditions he set for the anime production. "The only request I made was 'Please do not, under any circumstances, show [the characters'] underwear.' I'd like ...

Talk about party poopers. The cops in Osaka have arrested a 62-year-old man for violations of prostitution laws after they found seven men and women naked in his home. On the night of October 3, as widely reported in the Japanese media, police raided his home, where the man has been running an orgy party service for years. The five men (aged between their thirties and fifties) and two women (in their thirties) were arrested for indecent exposure, though later released. No charges were reported against them. The organizer, Yoshihiro Murakami, admits to the allegations against him. Men paid ...

A self-professed 18-year-old Japanese female high school student (known as JK in Japanese) has posted a series of nude selfies in which she reveals her slim, youthful body to the world. Her slender frame and hinnyu-style modest bust are a delight, as are her angular facial features and glasses that suggest a cheeky yet intelligent personality. Though she uses some stickers and emoji to hide her face in certain images, in others she is apparently more than happy to show us everything. And we mean pretty much everything: she is fully shaved (paipan) between her legs. Yes, she even spreads ...

Model Sumire is a prominent example of the "sporty celebrity" in Japan -- similar to models like Anne Nakamura, Kazusa Okuyama, or Yuri Shibuya. On a recently broadcast Japanese television show, the 30-year-old Sumire (who is the daughter of entertainer Junichi Ishida) showed off her athletic body and workout prowess for the cameras. Unfortunately for her (but not for us), she also revealed her camel toe. The outline of her you-know-what (apparently fully shaved) was clearly visible underneath her tight leggings. Sumire (aka Sumire Matsubara) is fluent in English and has acted in ...

In a recent photo shoot, Yuki Kashiwagi (Yukirin) has seemingly revealed to her many admirers that she goes paipan downstairs. The 29-year-old veteran member of AKB48 would seem to be hairless between her legs, either through shaving or waxing. The photo in question is from the cover of a recent issue of weekly magazine Young Jump, released in Japan on September 10. What a wonder the zoom function is! What treasures it reveals! In a ten-page cover shoot for the weekly Flash out this week, Kashiwagi looks back on her career in the supergroup. This month, Yukirin also appears in a ...

A video has leaked online allegedly showing the popular actress and model Elaiza Ikeda having sex with a male partner. In the video, a woman who looks like Ikeda is shown riding an unknown man in the cowgirl position while panting audibly. Her face and hair are certainly similar in appearance to Ikeda and she also has large breasts (Ikeda is famously busty). However, some have pointed out that the woman does not have the same mole on her left shoulder that Ikeda has. The footage is shot hamedori-style by the man as he enjoys the bareback action. Lasting just over a minute, it ends with the ...
