Back in 2015 we reported about M.S.M. -- Men Who Have Sex With Men, an upcoming documentary by Ian Thomas Ash and Adrian Storey/Uchujin.
Despite the announcement, nothing seemed to happen with it and the official website went dead. We assumed the project had somehow fizzled out.
So we were very pleased to see that it is still alive, though in a slightly different form.
Ian Thomas Ash and Adrian Storey/Uchujin are still involved, but as producers and DOP. The title has changed, too, and presumably the content. It's now called Boys for Sale.
Boys are selling sex in Japan. Who ...
It's a crowded music industry, so what can you do to stand out from the rest?
Well, the answer in Japan would seem to be: use female pubic hair to produce new sounds. No, this not appear to be a spoof and it's far too late for April Fools' Day.
Taku Takahashi is a musician and DJ with the unit hip hop m-flo, which has experimented with finding new sounds. Takahashi's latest electronic triumph is In Motion.
Here's how he describes it:
An unprecedented musical project, Public Hair Grooving broadcasts a new wave of groove into the world with groomed pubic hair. Taku Takahashi from ...
Ayumi Hamasaki is the gift that keeps on giving. From her bizarre marriages and divorces to foreigners, to her ex-boyfriend's porn debut, and her ever-more desperate attempts to revive her career, there's always something new to say about her.
But she hasn't been on our radar for a while. Where has she been? Courting more foreign men? Getting more plastic surgery?
Eating well, it seems, judging by these pictures.
This is Ayu at an arena concert in Yokohama, wearing a costume that showed off her newly voluptuous figure.
Many have remarked online about how ...
We wonder how many articles we are going to see like this as we get closer towards the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The Washington Post is the latest media outlet to step into the controversy over osanpo (walking dates) and JK business (high school girl dating) with an article somewhat provocatively headlined "For vulnerable high school girls in Japan, a culture of 'dates' with older men".
It sets the tone early on: "Here, 'high school dating' matches girls in uniforms with men in their 40s and 50s and beyond. And it means money changing hands."
It goes on to explain that the dates may be a ...
Overseas there has recently been a lot of talk about making things like public toilets "genderless" so as not to show bias towards people who do not identity by binary genders.
Japan has not embraced this kind of debate in the same way, not least because the LGBT community is largely reduced to being a subculture without real legal rights. On the other hand, fluid gender identity has been part of Japanese culture for a long time in Kabuki and so on. In many ways people just don't need all the labels and legal discussions that have obsessed other countries for the past generation.

The Guardian has profiled the porn star Kurumin Aroma, another example of the chronic problem of coercion in the adult video industry in Japan.
Though long widely known for some time, the controversy over the coercion and exploitation of female performers has recently scandalized the industry, leading to a lot of press attention, a public apology and even arrests. Several prominent performers have come forward with stories of how they were tricked and forced into performing.
Aroma wanted to be a gravure idol and was spotted by a scout while still at college. Then when she had a ...
Here's a nice tip from a very cute girl, which could well come in handy when you are with your next prize.
G-cup idol Erina Kamiya from the group Kamen Joshi (Masked Girls) has unveiled a stunning technique: how to strip off a t-shirt in a flash. This is quite impressive, given that her massive chest could be reasonably expected to provide quite on obstruction to slipping off clothes.
She shows off two different ways to take off a t-shirt in a second, notably faster than the conventional method.
This is certainly appreciated, given that we all want more time to view Kamiya's ...
Who says the Japanese don't have a sense of humor? In fact, it often mixes very curiously with their sense of sexuality, too.
Parody is a very healthy element to the adult industry and many toys reef of various aspects of pop or subculture, including anime, well-known consumer products, and more.
Our recent favorites include the Kimi no Ana Your Name Kimi no Na wa Parody Onahole and DanMachi Hestia Strangle Hole.
Now we have spotted this new one: the Japan Sex Tourism Kumamoto Onahole.
It stops short of actually parodying Kumamon, the wildly popular Kumamoto ...
The visitor to Japan quickly notes the large number of vending machines everywhere.
They are typically just for drinks but there are more unusual ones around. And this now includes gachapon capsule-style vending machines that offer sealed love letters from schoolgirls.
Shocked? You shouldn't be. After all, in Japan you can get refrigerated used panties from vending machines as well as Tenga and even prostitutes.
We can't speak for the veracity of the love letters, which cost ¥200 a pop, but they are written by hand and ostensibly from a young girl called Kiki.
One ...
Pregnancy porn is big in Japan: we've blogged before the glory that is pregnancy and lactating fetish AV.
Of course, there are lots of accompanying adult toys, from themed onaholes to breast milk lubes.
Here's another one -- and it has a unique design.
The Pregnant Fairy Maid Onahole might initially seem like more of the same: a masturbator with a cute body with the sexy pregnant curve that slender Japanese girls have.
But there is so much more to enjoy. Penetrate this fairy and your cock will push against her stomach from the inside, like it is going to burst out from inside ...
