Who stays at love hotels? It might not be who you think.
The current inbound tourism boom is leading to a serious shortage in regular hotel rooms for traveling businessmen. Business hotels have the lowest vacancy rate ever, it seems, meaning the on-the-move salaryman has fewer choices for where to stay.
Where are they turning? According to this article on Ignition, it's to love hotels.
It turns to Ken Sato, the manager of the HOTEL SULATA (their caps, not ours) chain, a new contender in the packed field.
It opened its main hotel in Dogenzaka, the "love hotel hill" district of ...
If you thought the Hentai Kamen was strange enough, wait until you meet this Taiwanese spin-off: Zhichen Ye.
Zhichen Ye first seemed to appear in 2013 when the first Hentai Kamen movie came out.
Here she is at some bizarre event where the underground fetish idol is dressed in a white mankini and black stockings, and with her signature panties over her face as she is adored by a wild horde of men that might just tear her apart any second.
Okay, so her get-up is pretty peculiar, but you can't deny the mystery and bizarreness doesn't make her seem ...
This Japanese office lady (OL) has an incredible G-cup bust that she is really keen to show off.
See her strip and pose for photos in her home, including in the bath.
She is such the nymphomaniac that she is happy to show all or pretty much all of her face.
Some of the shots are a bit grainy but the quality of her breasts and thighs more than makes up for the resolution.
From the evidence she would seem to be in her twenties, lives alone, and smokes... and looks great when wet.
Can anyone ...
Ignition has posted an article about transgender artist Pyuupiru, who makes costumes such as the elaborate "Planetaria" series.
The article also provides a glimpse into the domestic arrangements of someone in Tokyo who has undergone sex realignment, living in the suburbs and taking in stray cats.
She was born a man, she explains, but always felt she had the soul of a woman. Having suffered for much of her life from obsessive-compulsive disorder and severe depression, she began making art around the same time she began to think about changing her body and identity. Born out of such ...
An AFP article doing the rounds on sites like Japan Today and Mail Online has some bad things to say about Japanese porn.
The headline blasts: "Japan's porn industry preys on young women, say rights advocates".
Well, not an unfamiliar topic, we hear you say.
Japanese women are being exploited and abused in Japan’s multi-billion dollar pornographic film industry, rights advocates said on Thursday, calling on authorities to strengthen laws to protect them.
Pornography is widely available in Japan, where some actresses become well known enough to appear on mainstream TV chat ...
One of the gravure idols gaining more and more mainstream exposure for reasons that should be obvious, Hitomi Yasueda is known for having a great ass and having an armor fetish.
So we are all really happy that she has now shown off her voluptuous butt to the full in her latest photo book, "Hitomi Shiri" (Hitomi's Butt).
Former race queen Yasueda has a nice D-cup bust and this is also there to tempt us, covered with sand so that her modesty is just about preserved. Cock tease!
The "sandy breasts" remind us of a similar shoot by Seira Sato.
Hopefully some more scans ...
There are some 11,000 registered hostess clubs in Tokyo.
We've seen plenty of overseas interest in the life of a Japanese hostess before, such as this short video chronicling a regular 24 hours for one Tokyo lady.
But what about the foreign hostesses? As we all known, there are legions of Russian and other nationalities staffing the hostess clubs of Ginza and elsewhere, often on dubious visa statuses.
It's a bit old but we came across this 60-minute documentary about foreign hostesses working in Tokyo.
Called Tokyo Girls, it is about four Canadians whose story may or may not ...
Every now and then, Japan's character artists create something truly awesome and original, and which captures the imagination of people around the world.
Take Calne Ca by Deino, an idol with a mechanized calcium skeleton (hence the "Ca" in the name). The character -- a favorite of ambitious cosplayers -- is derived from the Vocaloid idol Hatsune Miku. Her name is pronounced Karune Shii-e.
According to the Vocaloid Wikia:
Her name comes from kara (骸) and ne (音), as well as CA (シーエ), the chemical symbol of calcium. This is due to Calne Ca being a mechanized skeleton ...
Gaycation is a new series from Viceland, Vice's TV channel, featuring Ellen Page and her friend traveling the world in search of gay stuff.
Episode 1 is Japan, especially Tokyo and Nichome.
Of course, Vice likes to veer toward the sensationalism, as its previous "schoolgirls for sale" article showed, and as such this episode does have some bad choices ("rent-a-friend agency and joining the party in the world's smallest gay bar").
It also starts with some cliched footage of Shibuya and halfway through resorts to shots of Scramble Crossing, but if you keep watching, there is some ...
