In the wake of a major typhoon sweeping through, as is often the case in late September, the weather in Tokyo has cooled off quite a bit and we find ourselves almost overnight confronted by the reality that the summer is over for another year.
Sure, the days are still bright and you can just about get by with just a T-shirt, but those weekends at the beach or pool, those scantily clad ladies on the streets, and those firework festivals and kakigori stalls? Put them aside for another year.
Fortunately, autumn offers plenty of great food and things to look forward to -- plus, our friends at ...
After making its name with series like the Egg, the Cup, and the Flip Hole that are manipulated by hand, Tenga has been gradually increasing its lineup of powered masturbation toys.
The Tenga Vacuum Controller came out a few years ago and is essentially an attachment that increases the vacuum sensation and tightness of the cup with which you combine it. It then continued this concept with the Gyro Roller and the Flip Zero Electronic, a vibrating version of the classic Flip Hole.
Tenga, the Apple of the Japanese adult industry, is never happy to sit on its laurels counting the yen that comes ...
Japanese adult toy makers are never one to let a commercial opportunity pass. When a toy proves a hit, they usually follow up with a similar one -- or several.
But this time, the follow-up is not just a quick cash-in but a complementary item that makes so much sense. So much so, we wonder why they didn't release the original and follow-up together in the first place.
Back in February, we introduced readers to one of the most novel toys to hit the market in recent months: the Ashikoki Schoolgirl Footjob Toy.
In a nutshell, it's a foot that you use to rub yourself off. It even comes with a ...
So you've already got your breast-shaped fortune and your handwritten schoolgirl love letter.
The latest item available from Japan's capsule toy vending machines (gachapon or gashapon), which usually sell collectibles for kids, is a mini denma massager vibrator.
As regular readers or avid Japanese adult video viewers will know well, the denma "wand" is a massager-style vibrator that is popular with couples due to its wide, flexible head that can run all over the most sensitive parts of a female body.
Denma toys come in all shapes and sizes, plus there are various accessories for attaching ...
The La Bocca Della Verita series of blowjob masturbators is back. Inspired by the Bocca della Verità marble mask in Rome, this bestselling series of toys by Magic Eyes is also known as the Mouth of Truth. But unlike the original Mouth of Truth in Italy is purported to do, these won't bite off your hand (or other appendage) if you're a liar.
It has returned in two new "mini" versions that offer either a "hard bite" or "soft bite" sensation. If you loved the Ochobo-guchi toy, the first "mini" version of the Mouth of Truth, you're gonna love these updates.
Like with all previous ...
In recent weeks, we have been obsessing over the porn debut of music idol Rikako Inoue (now performing as Yotsuha Kominato).
With all the new JAV releases each month, it can be easy to forget who was big a season or so ago. One sure sign that you have progressed from the fleeting triumph of debutant-of-the-month to established star surely arrives when you are invited to work with a sex toy brand to produce your own item.
Kaoru Yasui provided one of the most high-profile debuts last year when she made the switch from gravure to porn. She has continued to release further AV titles and now her ...
Regular observers of the Japanese sex toys market will likely already know the Floor Pad series by Peach Toys.
These toys are visually very simple -- a triangular-shaped pad-like toy -- but are effective when it comes to offering a realistic sensation of pushing into a human body. After all, masturbator toys are great but sometimes you get tired of stroking your cock. Nothing beats the feeling of rolling onto a female body and lying prone while thrusting hard into her vagina.
Without resorting to a full doll or pillow in size, or even a waist/hips onahole, the Floor Pad is a very easy way ...
You've already got the sweaty stocking smell spray.
You've got the freshly taken-off scent of panties.
If you're a bit kinkier, you've got the pee-stained panties spray.
Maybe you've even tried the high school girl menstruation smell bottle.
What's next? What more could the market offer you? As it turns out, quite a lot!
Which all begs the question: What is it about Japan and smell fetishes? We haven't done a comprehensive survey in any way, shape, or form, but it really does seem like something quite peculiar to the adult market here. Smell fetishes themselves are certainly universal, ...
An onahole for a woman? Sounds like a contradiction in terms, right? After all, you need something to insert into the masturbator sleeve's hole to make it work.
But the CliPro Onahole for Women looks like a pocket pussy, but it's not really, nor is it like any onahole you've used before.
Forget the penis. The toy is designed to pleasure the clitoris.
The basic concept behind the design is actually quite simple and we're almost surprised that apparently no one else in the industry got here first.
The CliPro Onahole for Women, which is available from Kanojo Toys internationally, is made by ...
Japan is, regular readers will already know, a sex doll paradise.
The hug pillows are iconic and famed around the world.
You can choose from an incredible array of air dolls in all sizes and styles (schoolgirls and anime idols are a firm favorite in the market).
And then there are the silicone dolls from the likes of Orient Industry, boasting breathtaking realism and features (assuming you have the financial means to pay for them).
What often get less attention are the softer plush dolls, which have their own unique advantages (and also don't break the bank).
Putting the tactile and ...
