Risa Izumi, former Olympic gymnast turns nude model
March 30, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japanese sportswomen are hot. Really hot.
Whether it's volleyball players or bodybuilders, snowboarders, boxers or baseball players, these ladies have brawn and agility -- and would be powerhouses of energy in the sack.
Joining this list is Risa Izumi. She once represented Japan in gymnastics for the Athens Olympics but her career has taken a different turn now.
Today she is a nude model with a recent photo book release... and what a body she has.
Like Yuki Eda has done before her, Risa Izumi fully shows off her slim and trim form with these naked poses.
As you can see from the photos, ...
Tenga LED light key ring is awesome as DJ deck lamp
March 29, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
We love writing about Tenga, not only because the brand's (and it really is a brand now) products are so well made and stylish, but because they always seem to be up to something fun.
Last week we wrote about the brilliant TV ad contest they organized (essentially crowd-sourcing their marketing).
Did you spot that Tenga made a special LED light and key ring? Not surprisingly it looks like a mini Tenga Onacup. (Don't try to penetrate it, though. You'll just encounter a battery. Ouch.)
It's only available in limited numbers from branches of the wacky discount store Don Quijote, ...
Kaoru Hirata shows off body in steamy TV drama sex scenes
March 28, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japanese television is a pretty tame beast, mostly full of cooking programs and inane comedy shows.
When things do get sexy, they tend to stop at Nanao in her lingerie, which is lovely but hardly the stuff HBO wet dreams are made of.
Back in 2012, Kaoru Hirata appeared in a drama broadcast on the satellite channel BS Japan when she was a sprightly 22.
Okay, so you don't actually see any real nudity but this is still pretty tantalizing.
She also appeared in R-18 Bungakusho Vol.1 Jijyojibaku no Watashi, a slightly adult film where she plays the lead role ...
Futanari sex doll, dakimakura cover takes hermaphrodite fetish to the next level
March 25, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
We've seen a mini explosion in futanari-themed adult toys in Japan and we really like what we are seeing.
Normally relegated to the fantasy worlds of eroge, manga and anime, or obviously fake AV, these toys allow you to explore the hermaphrodite fetish in real form.
After the recent futanari masturbator toy, here is a futanari sex doll and dakimakura cover.
Tama Toys has a series of dakimakura covers and the 40th in the range is a futanari girl. The double-sided cover is nothing short of awesome, complete with giant breasts, French maid lingerie, and bukkake.
The Futanari ...
Onna no Ko Club cross-dressing bar opens new branch in Ueno
March 24, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Onna no Ko Club is fast becoming the biggest (and certainly the most accessible) player in the growing otoko no ko and josou cross-dressing scene. It already has bars in Shinjuku (in Nichome, of course) and Osaka where you can go to try dressing up as the opposite sex (or just watch if you're not into actual cross-dressing).
It was recently featured in the Ellen Page documentary about gay Japan and its manager interviewed by Kyodo News.
Now it has a new salon bar in Ueno, this time with stylish chandeliers.
Opening on April 1st, it is located in the Okachimachi area of Ueno, a ...
Tenga, the "Apple of the Japanese adult industry", has always had a great attitude towards marketing, sponsoring art and music events, beach clean-ups and even getting the approval of a Buddhist monk.
It recently held an advertising contest, offering the winner the chance to get a top prize of ¥1 million's worth of Tenga products.
Needless to say, Tenga's brilliant approach to design and product quality, not to mention its tongue-in-cheek attitude towards its publicity, were great creative inspirations.
Here are the winners.
This won the grand prix. It elevates the Tenga ...
Talking to Keiko Takemiya, pioneer of Boys’ Love manga in Japan
March 22, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
The BBC occasionally likes to weigh in on adult Japan matters, not always with success.
It recently profiled Keiko Takemiya, "the godmother of manga sex in Japan". This time they go the extra mile and get some reasonable background and interviews, but some of their assertions are off -- not least the headline.
Takemiya was just 26 when she started Kaze to Kino Uta (The Poem of Wind and Trees).
It opens with two naked teenage boys in a 19th-century French boarding school lying on top of each other, post-coital. The series centres on one of those boys and another new boy. ...
Street Fighter V mod features naked Chun-Li battle naked Chun-Li
March 21, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Many a boyhood fantasy evolved out of video game characters like Lara Croft and Chun-Li.
Surely this is just the brilliantly logical conclusion of those fantasies.
The new Street Fighter V has been modified to include a fully naked Chun-Li fighting against herself... also totally naked. Hell yeah!
It wasn't made by a Japanese person, as far as we can tell, but the genitals are smoothly censored. Hopefully that will keep the video up on YouTube.
The mod file can be downloaded ...
Play an adult version of the kendama with the Kentama
March 18, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Even classic games can be kinky!
The Kentama is by SSI, one of Japan's leading adult toys makers. It's a shameless attempt to cash in on the kendama boom sweeping Japan right now, but of course it's a cheeky adult version.
For those who don't know, the kendama is a cup-and-ball toy that dates back to the Edo era in Japan. It's similar to the bilboquet in France.
Naturally, even a regular kendama has phallic influences. After all, there's a long shaft (ken) and a ball that you try to "spike".
This has historical roots. The kendama is not just a toy but also an engimono (good ...
Tokyo court rules that realistic computer graphics violate child porn law
March 17, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Be warned. Be careful what you have in your drawer or on your phone, hard drive or cloud.
While the government was pressured by mangaka and animators to exclude comic book and drawn images from the new pornography laws passed in 2014, it seems the courts do not agree.
The Tokyo District Court has found an artist "guilty of violating the child pornography law by creating and selling realistic computer graphic images of a naked girl," reports the Asahi Shimbun.
The court on March 15 sentenced Akashi Takahashi, a 55-year-old computer graphic designer from Gifu city, to a one-year ...
