Virtual reality omorashi device offers VR wet-yourself experience

As we know, virtual reality is big right now and that includes for the adult market.
This isn't from the recent Adult VR Festa but the geeks and tech event, Niconico Chokaigi 2016, held in April, but we were saving it until now.
Strictly speaking, we think this was developed for people who work in the care industry to experience what it is like to be incontinent, but there are also adult: this is a DIY virtual omorashi device!
No longer is your only option getting some rubber diapers. Instead, now you can feel like you are peeing yourself just by wearing some wires and sitting on ...
Ex-AKB48 idol Ami Tomite strips off for wet photo shoot
June 16, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Ami Tomite becomes the latest former AKB48 idol to strip off and show us her nude body.
Granted, the pictures are "censored" for weekly tabloid publication but these are essentially verging on hair nude territory.
Tomite joined AKB48 in 2009 but left while still a "research student" to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. Since then she has become a minor gravure idol, though now can capitalize on the notoriety of being yet another ex-AKB girl who has stripped off.
Other than briefly joining another music group, Ami's career has mostly been playing bit ...
The recent interest in Japanese AV performers' labor and human rights continues to develop. It's one of the big stories of the year so far.
Following the arrest mere days ago of a porn performer agency for forcing its roster of women to appear in porn and other recent developments like a damning report and seminar on the issue of exploitation and trafficking, now comes news that former AV star Mariko Kawana has launched a new orgnization to help.
There are already groups like Lighthouse: Center for Human Trafficking Victims (formerly Polaris Project Japan) and Human Rights Now (HRN) as ...
Soft on Demand and Japanese porn stars save the planet

The AV industry in Japan is not all take, take, take. It likes to give back, too.
The "boob aid" annual event is one of the best examples of this, in which porn stars let their breasts be groped by ordinary members of the public in order to raise money for AIDS charities.
Now Soft on Demand and Japanese porn stars have come together (no pun) to help save the planet.
The Do Eco website looks like a porn video streaming site, but don't be fooled. While it's not fully safe for work, there's no sex or nudity. And it's all for a good cause.
It features nine AV performers, including ...
Japan’s first adult virtual reality event: so popular it shuts down!
June 13, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Tokyo Kinky was there on Sunday, loyally lining up in Akihabara for what had been touted as Japan's first ever adult virtual reality event. But all was in vain.
We had our suspicions about the event, given how shoddy the event's website was. Still, word had obvious got out -- that and how virtual reality is one of the big trends of the year and there had been promises of its adult implications for years.
There were hundreds of people trying to make it into a tiny venue in Akiba. We were all lining up patiently outside but the police eventually had to come and help control the size of ...
Japanese porn performer agency president arrested for forcing woman to appear in AV

A company president of a Japanese AV talent agency has been arrested for allegedly forcing a woman to appear in pornography.
It was learnt on June 11th that Marks Japan was raided by cops and three of its employees arrested. Police also raided other related businesses, including two production companies.
The allegations stem from a woman who signed up to Marks Japan's roster of talent as a gravure idol in 2009, but was then sent to a porn shoot in September 2013 despite knowing she did not want to appear.
Marks Japan's talent includes everyone from relatively innocuous things like ...
First naked restaurant opens in Tokyo, but fat nudists are banned
June 12, 2016
/ Megumi
It's good news for naturists and nudists as Japan's first "naked restaurant" is set to open in Tokyo in July.
However, it's bad news if you've been to one too many restaurants yourself: overweight patrons are banned!
Naturally, this being Japan, such a draconian rule need not actually exclude much of the demographic.
The classically themed Amrita only allows diners aged 18 and 60, and you have to wear paper underwear provided by the restaurant so this isn't a paradise for exhibitionists per se.
"If you are more than 15 kilos (33 pounds) above the average weight for your ...
New nude photos of 1990s idol Kanako Kojima released
June 10, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
We've always been a fan of the older idols. We find the photo shoots sexier and the woman more alluring.
From Chiharu Komatsu to Naomi Kawashima and Azumi Kawashima, our glory days are the 1990s and early 2000s, especially when the so-called "hair nude" shoots were still at their peak.
Kanako Kojima is one such beauty. Born in 1975, her career height was from around 1997 for a few years as an actress and tarento. Towards the end -- in 2006 -- she released a great hair nude photo book. She also showed off her naked pregnant body.
These days she is in her forties and out of the limelight as ...
Porn star karaoke in Japan
June 9, 2016
/ Megumi
Karaoke is a way of life in Japan. You can't expect a gathering of friends not to end sometimes with a trip to a dark karaoke box for a sing-song.
We also know from experience karaoke rooms are great places to "seal the deal" on a date.
But we didn't know that you could have such adult fun with karaoke itself.
Joysound -- one of Japan's main karaoke systems -- seems to have an adult setting where you can play songs with videos featuring fully nude AV stars.
The images aren't great but they should give you some idea of the awesomeness of this!
If you turn on the ...
Rope bondage master Hajime Kinoko makes comeback with cute yet erotic shibari
June 8, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Cute and kinky. Those two words sum up so much about the Japanese erotic.
Hajime Kinoko is one of Japan's most famous shibari (aka kinbaku) rope bondage artists.
We once visited his BDSM bar in Ueno, only for it later to be raided and shut down by police. Kinoko Hajime was himself arrested, though he has made a comeback, such as holding an exhibition called "Red".
He now offers lessons and does events like workshops and "cyber neo-shibari" shows.
He has opened a space again but this time it's not a bar. Instead it's branded as a "salon" for learning the ropes (sorry for the pun) of ...
