We are drawing to the end of this most difficult year and we taking a look back at 2020. Of course, the past twelve months were dominated by one global story.
Japan's adult industry has responded to the coronavirus pandemic in various ways, from host and hostess clubs working with the authorities to identity clusters of infections, to Soft on Demand spending a fortune on advanced air sterilization technology for its new porn theme park in Kabukicho.
Less positive responses -- of which, let's be honest, there were many -- include suing the government over financial relief discrimination and ...
Tenga, the Apple of the Japanese adult market, is convinced that self-pleasure should be a premium experience. And it also knows how to market its products in a truly savvy and novel way.
Case in point is its latest campaign in which the brand gives people to win a "gold" Premium Tenga cup just by retweeting a certain tweet by March 31.
All right, this is indeed made out of almost 100% gold but it's not an actual sex toy, even if it does look uncannily like one of the entries in the bestselling Premium Tenga cup series, whose Premium Vacuum Cup tenth-anniversary toy is getting a ...
At this time of year, Japanese adult makers and brands like to release "lucky boxes" and similar bundles containing random packs of toys.
This is in imitation of the more general Japanese retail custom of fukubukuro, or lucky bags.
It means you can get some really good deals, as long as you don't mind not knowing the exact items you will get (although this is also fun and exciting -- restoring the mystery of Christmas before people started to make distributing gift lists).
We have been looking at a few examples this year and the Tama Toys Otoko no Ko Crossdresser Costumes Lucky Box caught ...
So simple, so effective, we wonder why they (or we) didn't think of it before.
The Hole Perfume for Sex Toys is just what its name suggests: a perfume for your adult toys, since aroma is as erotic as visuals and tactility.
Sure, there's a wealth of other smell sprays out there already, serving all tastes and fetishes, from sweat to pee, cleavage, ovulation, scalps, and even face masks.
But this item is a bit different -- and a bit more straightforward. It keeps the scent itself simpler -- either a soap or rose -- and is specifically for enhancing your sex toys (whereas other smell sprays, ...
Japanese adult toys have a growing reputation outside the country, thanks to the innovative efforts of Tenga and the quality of onahole sleeves.
But not enough attention is given to the other aspects of the market, not least the vibrators and dildos, which are there to offer pleasure to guys, gays, girls, and more.
And occasionally a dildo comes along that deserves as wide an audience as possible.
Like this Mouth Dick Dildo from Ligre Japan, now available globally from our friends at Kanojo Toys.
The name should grab you. Yes, this is essentially that: a cock that goes in your mouth, ...
Our friends at Kanojo Toys, your one-stop store for all things adult about Japan, are having a Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale.
You can get 10% off any item you order (even if you order multiple times, which regular shoppers like us will appreciate). To claim your discount, use the code BF2020.
The sale covers every toy in store, from onaholes and masturbators old and new to sex dolls (silicone, blow-up, plush), vibrators, dildos, costumes, porn, dakimakura hug pillows (and covers), used panties, smell fetish sprays and lubes, and more. Kanojo Toys has a catalog with thousands and ...
Besides COVID and the change in prime minister, the biggest story of the year in Japan is probably the massive box office success of the anime version of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
The popularity of the franchise has skyrocketed and, inevitably, we have got adult parodies, since parody is such a regular component of the porn and toy market here.
First there was an early porn parody starring Mitsuki Nagisa.
Now Tama Toys, the leaders in this kind of toy, have come along and conjured up a superbly made parody onahole.
The Kimetsu no Yaeba Fangs Onahole is playing on the popularity of ...
Collaborations between adult toy makers and artists or doujinshi circles are common in Japan, and are one of the reasons that box art is such a major aspect of sex toys here.
The Akane Onahole, a new release from Tama Toys and available internationally from our friends at Kanojo Toys, is a great example of the kind of toy that dominates the market and the style of erotic art that generally decorates the boxes (especially for brands like Tama Toys, Toy's Heart, Peach Toys, and so on).
Gracing the packaging is the titular Akane, a perfect girl who you want to spend a lazy ...
Bring those lactation and pregnancy fetishes to rich adult life in one easy bottle, thanks to the Fake Mother's Milk Lubricant.
The name is as honest and straightforward as the product is, though this is one of the most superior lactophilia items on the market today.
As our friends at Kanojo Toys tell us, this "doesn't only look like titty milk, it has some of the same chemical makeup too, containing lactoferrin for an antibacterial effect."
If you (like us) harbor fantasies about paizuri titjobs or sucking the dripping nipples of a MILF, this lube has the texture of breast milk ...
A research team at Gifu University has developed the My Girlfriend in Walk (sic), a robotic hand that the user can hold to replicate the experience of a romantic walk with a partner.
The artificial hand apparently even imitates the way a human appendage sweats and smells as well as feeling soft and warm.
Grip the hand and its built-in sensors detect the pressure of your grasp and will squeeze your hand back in reply. The hand can also work in tandem with the user's smartphone to recognize whose hand it is holding.
Despite investing unknown amounts of time and yen in the development, the ...
