This story has been doing the rounds of the foreign press and we have our doubts about its authenticity, given the overseas media's penchant for "wacky Japan" stories. But if it's even just a bit true, it's pretty incredible.
After all, we all have to go some day. What better way than Death by Porn?
An unnamed 50-year-old Japanese man was recently found dead "partially buried" underneath a pile of erotic magazines. The story apparently came from one of those people whose unfortunate job it is to clean up after so-called "lonely deaths" (where people die but no one finds them for a long ...
Japan's first strip show opened in January 1947 and we found some fantastic vintage advertising for it.
Seventy years ago, the pioneering strip club event took place in Shinjuku at the Teitoza theater and was rather tame, not surprising given the attitude toward women at the time.
It was a "gakubuchi show", where woman would strike poses of famous nudes in art history, such as Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" that features on the advertising. This is similar to other tableau vivant or poses plastiques early strip shows in other cities, perhaps especially London. They kept their bras on for ...
Kei Jonishi of the Osaka-based AKB48 spin-off idol group NMB48 has released a new semi-nude photo book, "21K".
The soon-to-be 22-year-old idol from Shiga is one of the most popular members of NMB48, alongside Sayaka Yamamoto and Miru Shiroma. "21K" is her second photo book. Released in February, it is set to propel Jonishi to further stardom. (That being said, at the moment the buzz is actually mostly about Nogizaka46's Mai Shiraishi and her photo book, "Passport".)
The photos include images of the serenely white and thin Jonishi standing with her chest exposed and her modesty covered ...
Today we wanted to resurrect to our Idol of the Week series, where we showcase a gorgeous lady from the pantheon of gravure idols (glamor models) in Japan.
This may not become a regular fixture like it used to be but we do spot some tempting examples every now and then. (For more gravure idols, check out our Tumblr account.)
Eri Oishi is one such: a fashion model, gravure idol and television "tarento".
With a slinky, sporty body, this "Heisei Venus" was born in Tokyo in 1993.
What really makes her stand out from the crowded market of tarento and gravure idols is that she is openly ...
A journalist working on a BBC Three documentary about child sexual exploitation was held in police custody.
The 29-year-old Stacey Dooley was held by police in Tokyo for two hours during the making of her documentary, Young Sex For Sale In Japan.
"It [the doc] focuses on the fact they only made it illegal to possess child pornography in 2014," said Dooley. "We set out to try and understand why it took a privileged country, like Japan, so long to come to this conclusion. Also to see if the change in their law had made any real difference on the ground."
Dooley and her team were ...
Have you ever hugged a furry animal toy a little too tightly when you're lonely?
As almost anyone with an interest in the types of things this blog tackles will know, Japanese anime and manga and dojinshi are full of catgirls and other kemonomimi (animal ears) fetish characters.
So one visionary Japanese adult toy maker (actually, one we hadn't heard of before called YOS) has stepped in to plug a seriously wanting hole in the market for zoophilia-tinted fantasies. As far as we are aware, this is the first toy of its kind: behold the Kemono Hime Animal Princess Sex Doll.
There are ...
This busty 18-year-old Japanese schoolgirl has shared nude selfies of her beautiful body and its pale white skin (bihaku) with the world via Twitter.
She really does have an impressive bust, which makes us suspect she's not a schoolgirl like some people are saying. She's also nicely curvy and has a great line of bras. Is she also paipan? Perhaps almost.
Well, however old she is she deserves our attention.
Sadly we can't identify her account with certainty (anyone know for sure?). It might have been this one but she has recently deleted all her photos, perhaps ...
If last week's Newhalf Otoko no Ko Anal Penetration and Penis Combo Masturbator wasn't enough for you, or the Ryosei Guyu Onapet Futanari Onahole or even the amazing Futanari Sex Doll... then get ready for this.
Newhalf AV star Serina Tachibana now has her own sex doll and masturbator toy -- and it's a tribute to her gorgeous breasts and stunning erect cock.
The toy makers, KMP, use "otoko no ko" in the original product name but Serina Tachibana is technically a newhalf (shemale), since she has breasts (i.e., she's not "just" a crossdresser). And what breasts they are.
You ...
We've long been fans of Rina Aizawa and her charmingly slender and waif-like body, which despite having a very petite build still offers something in the way of a pert rear. That's a combination we don't turn down lightly.
So we are pleased to see the 25-year-old gravure idol is getting some mainstream exposure in a late-night TV drama. Sadly, this is regular Japanese television so there's no nudity per se but we do get to see what Rina might look like in bed.
Based on a manga by Mengo Yokoyari, Scum's Wish (Kuzu no Honkai) on Fuji Television is about high schoolers and their various ...
In the age of social media, you are meant to tell the whole world what a great time you are having. Some people take that philosophy a little too far.
And the results can go viral in a way you didn't expect.
Big-shot corporate types are pretty confident when it comes to picking up girls. Just head to Ebisu Yokocho to see these men with fat wallets in action, doing nampa with ladies at neighboring tables.
Two lawyers and a employee at the consultancy firm McKinsey & Company picked up a girl, who took them all back to her place. The quartet of happy-go-lucky Tokyoites then engaged in a ...
