Do you want to work surrounded by vibrators, dildos, and female customers? Sounds like a dream job for us.
The Vibe Bar Wild One in Shibuya is looking for new staff.
The bar sadly closed at the end of September 2020, no doubt hit hard by the pandemic, but will reopen in 2024 at an as-yet unannounced date. In the interim, the bar, which recently celebrated its eleventh anniversary, has operated as a space for hire for private events, photo shoots, and so on.
Famously, the bar is by women, for women, and men can't go unaccompanied.
Based on the concept of "see, touch, and try," the ...
When the 27-year-old Mari Takahashi agreed to stand as a candidate for the Democratic Party for the People, the senior members of the party must have been pleased. Japanese politics is a staid world full of graying men in dark suits, and the presence of young blood -- especially photogenic young female blood -- is a dream come true.
Takahashi is a graduate of Keio University, one of the most prestigious colleges in the country. She won the university's beauty contest in 2016 and worked as a TV announcer while still at college, followed by three years at an IT consultancy company. She also ...
There is one way to tell that a social phenomenon in Japan has become significant: when it has inspired either its own parody porn production or an adult toy.
As noted many times here, Japanese adult video frequently draws upon real-life incidents to make parodies. Examples include the women's support group that has faced harassment, the assault of a music idol, and -- and this is where things get very meta -- an AV that lampooned the recently introduced porn legislation.
It is a similar situation with the Japanese sex toys industry, such as the Uber Eats onahole and the masturbator based ...
While we are used to police raids on small or even clandestine bars and clubs for breaching rules on public indecency or licensing, it was a shock when the failure to obtain the proper license led to the arrests last year of management at SOD Land in Kabukicho and the expensive closure of the "porn theme park" for five months. (Thankfully, it is up and running again, and in very rude health from all accounts!)
Well, now the same kind of issue has claimed yet another high-profile victim.
Police have arrested the manager of Burlesque Tokyo, a popular burlesque club in Roppongi.
The erotic ...
What's the solution to Japan's dating problem? Namely, large numbers of young people just don't seem all that interested in dating.
Well, reports Nikkei Asia, it could be combining dating with getting a foot on the property ladder.
A new dating service in Japan matches singles based not on things like movie preferences or even, shock, physical attributes, but on their dream home.
This might seem random or even just plain wrong as an approach, but the choice of where you want to live reveals things about your values. And if your values don't gel, it will probably be a problem in the long ...
The actress and mature gravure idol Mami Yamasaki is to release her tenth and final photo book.
The photo book, Camellia, will come out in Japan on April 15 from Shogakukan. As announced on February 19, the publication will mark her retirement from gravure after a 20-year career.
Now aged 38 and still unmarried, Mami Yamasaki has got more alluring with age -- and indulged in more explicit photo shoots. She seemed to embrace entering her thirties as the opportunity to strip off for semi-nude shoots.
Mami Yamasaki has aged like a fine wine, getting sexier the older she gets. ...
The tabloids are full of reports that the gravure idol Risa Yukihira has been dating the pop singer Kei Inoo of Hey! Say! JUMP for perhaps as long as two years. The story was first broken by daily sports newspaper Sports Nippon (Sponichi), whose reporters have spotted the pair visiting each other's homes.
The past romantic partners of 33-year-old Kei Inoo, who graduated from the prestigious Meiji University, include retired porn star Kirara Asuka and Japanese announcer and model Misato Ugaki.
Risa Yukihira is one of the most popular gravure idols right now. With her pale skin and alluring ...
The new Korean TV drama A Killer Paradox (Sarinja-ng-Nangam) features a nude sex scene with Choi Mi-geum in the cowgirl position.
The scene only lasts a few seconds, but Choi Mi-geum makes quite an impression. We see the attractive Choi sitting on her male lover and bouncing up and down in short yet intense bobs, closing her eyes in pleasure. She leans back her arms on his legs, all the better to buck her hips gently yet firmly.
We get to see a bit of her butt and then a nice shot of her small Asian breasts. She has lovely skin.
The scene is in the first episode of the Netflix show ...
The Korean musician and model DJ Soda is set to cement her fandom in Japan by releasing her first photo book.
The as-yet untitled book will come out from Shueisha, a major publisher that produces a lot of photo books, on April 5.
DJ Soda shared the news via social media to her millions of fans on February 13, along with some preview pictures and the information that the photo book was shot over a week in Tokyo and Okinawa.
The photographer is ND Chow, who was born in Singapore but is based in Tokyo.
Looking at the photos, it is hard to believe that DJ Soda (whose real name ...
In mid-January, we wrote about the pleasant surprise that was actress and model Haruka Ayase's return to gravure.
Well, this seems to be a bit of a trend right now: actresses and models who were huge in the 2000s and 2010s are going back to their gravure roots.
Aya Ueto has done a cover shoot for the February 27 issue of Flash, which is now on sale. Though she made her debut as an actress in the year 2000, Ueto worked in gravure before she became a big mainstream star, including as a junior idol.
Ueto now has three children, having giving birth to her most recent one last year, and while ...
