Japanese netizens: savvy, beady-eyed, industrious, curious, or just too much free time?
Pick your descriptor, but they all apply to some extent in the end.
The latest example of this was exposed, if you will pardon the expression, by a bikini photo shoot by NGT48's Ayuka Nakamura.
In the Australian shoot, the up-and-coming idol in the Niigata-based group is sitting down and turning to the camera. She is wearing an orange and white swimwear set that shows off her very slim body -- rather too slim for our liking, in case you wondered -- and graceful legs in profile.
But she forgot ...
As the city reopens following its soft lockdown, one establishment has made headlines for changing its operating style to fit the new normal that is post-COVID-19 Tokyo -- and also opening itself up to a broader demographic ahead of its closure.
The host club Ai Honten (literally, Love Head Office) will open only on Saturdays and Sundays as a cafe. For once, male customers will also be admitted. So this is also a kind of education project, helping people experience what a host club is like without having to pay the usual costs entailed.
First opened in 1971 and one of the most renowned ...
After they were blamed for helping to spread the coronavirus in Japan, hostess clubs are once again in the media limelight for causing a second wave of COVID-19 cases in Tokyo.
Nightlife spots are resulting in fresh clusters of cases following the lifting of the state of emergency in Tokyo.
Hostess clubs closed during the state of emergency, leading to economic uncertainty for many women and the emergence of "remote hostessing" services. Now that businesses in the city like restaurants are trying to return to some semblance of normality in the second phase of the post-lockdown reopening, ...
Have you ever seen (or stayed at) a love hotel like this?
Though the cyberpunk (is that the right descriptor?) style is like something out of a Neo Tokyo landscape or cut from the same cloth as the Robot Restaurant in Kabukicho, it is actually a room in an Okayama hotel with a retro fairground and amusement park theme.
As fans know, the most outrageous and unusual love hotels are to be found not in cities but deep in the countryside.
Saying that, if you are into BDSM and dungeons, there is this love hotel in Asabu, Minato ward, that has been running for four decades.
The ...
We were excited to blog in April about the then-upcoming release of a nude photo book by Asuka Fukuda, an ex-Morning Musume idol, that was the first such hair nude (full frontal) nudity by a member, current or former, of the famous group.
Now in her mid-thirties, Fukuda has matured into an alluring older woman (jukujo) who knows exactly what she is doing with her body.
Ahead of the hotly anticipated release of her photo book, "PASSIONABLE," on June 19 from Kodansha, more highlights from the shoot have appeared. Check out these images.
Fukuda once again shows us she knows ...
May the Shinto gods bless Japan's generous sharers of nude selfies.
If you like Japanese girls with a bit of meat on their bones, this amateur is for you.
Her thighs and waist have some fine love handles, while her ample bust is certainly above average for a Japanese woman of her age (mid-twenties, by the looks of things).
She isn't afraid of showing off everything, including her trimmed bush -- but even her full face.
Most of the shots were taken at what looks like her apartment or an (apparently expensive) hotel room, though others seem to be in locations like a semi-private booth in an ...
Its name might be a bit of a mouthful, but the Maga Kore Z-Ton Maji Hada Mesu Dachi Real Body Hole's design more than lives up to the promises of the embellished title.
Part of the ongoing Maga Kore manga-inspired collection by KM Produce in collaboration with various partners, this luxury masturbator is based on the hentai doujinshi series Mesu Dachi by Z-Ton. (It's also apparently part of a "Maji Hada" mini series of adult toys with incredibly realistic skin textures.)
Though described as a "body hole" by the makers, it is almost more like a sex doll than a masturbator. The toy has a ...
In the latest of our reports on how the coronavirus is affecting the adult industry in Japan, we highlight love hotels, the temporary accommodation that exist for couples to have sex.
Love hotels are enjoying a supposed boom due to the pandemic and semi-lockdown measures imposed by the government.
An article we saw recently claims that the "pandemic sees thriving demand at suburban love hotels."
The basis for the claim is largely a single Japanese-language media article, itself based on a single interview via Twitter with an employee at a love hotel in Kanagawa, the prefecture immediately ...
The Japanese government's uninspired response to the coronavirus -- announcing, belatedly, a state of emergency, but carrying out few tests -- may well prove the end of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's long term.
One of the most maligned and mocked initiatives has been Abe's offer to send each household in the country two face masks.
This has been criticized as an "epic fail" due to the ineffectiveness of just two masks, delayed distribution, quality of the masks, and their cost.
But by far the most novel critique and, simultaneously, striking utilization of the masks has come from idol Amo ...
Starring the beautiful model and actress Ayaka Miyoshi, the musical comedy Dance with Me was released domestically last August and was recently broadcast on the Wowow channel. This Japanese movie with a decidedly La La Land shtick about a prancing office lady is perhaps most notable for giving Miyoshi her first big starring role.
Far from the musical numbers or the charms of the lead actor, netizens watching the movie on TV seemed most interested in the dance sequences where Miyoshi's skirt was lifted up and revealed her cute OL panties.
Panchira (panties shot) is a rich and ...
