We're a bit late with this "trend" but it still give us a chuckle.
Korean women have created a new fashion meme and it's as wacky as you'd expect.
They call it 하트 앞머리 (hateu aapmuhri) or “heart-bangs hair”.
Basically it's make your bangs into an upside-down heart shape.
We've heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve. This is wearing it on your forehead.
However, some commentators have noted that the "heart" also looks like a butt (and as we know, there are some nice Korean butts out there).
Of course, the women aren't going around with ...
We've always had a thing for Risa Hirako. She's 44 now and looks as hot as hell.
She's a model and tarento, and has dabbled in a singing career.
Luckily her gigs show no signs of drying up just yet. Here she is in a new lingerie advert.
Sadly she doesn't really strip off but we do get to see her as a flight attendant, which will fuel our fantasies for a while.
Here's some behind-the-scenes footage.
We have long had a soft (or should that be hard) spot for Risa Hirako. She was just as a hot a few years ago when she posed ...
The life of a female idol isn't all it's cracked up to be.
You don't get wealth or riches unless your agency deems you worth a higher salary.
You don't get drugs -- they're strictly taboo in the Japanese entertainment industry, at least on paper.
And you don't even get sex, since your agency tries to control who you sleep with.
You also have to deal with crazy fans.
Remember the saw attack on two members of AKB48?
One idol even had her social media account hacked so that it started spewing out dirty content.
Well, there are also stalkers, as mother-of-dragons Mitsu ...
This is something we don't talk about enough on this blog: sex and the disabled.
Luckily, the non-profit NOIR is doing work to raise awareness of the issue.
Since the release of film The Sessions, the idea of how disabled people can have sex drives has gained more positive traction in America.
What about Japan?
Of course, sex dolls were once available as "rental" and some of the main clients were disabled men who could not have sex otherwise.
In Japan, the film Caterpillar took the theme of a disabled war veteran and his sex drive to an extreme.
More recently, the ...
As the adage goes, if you've got it -- flaunt it.
Actress Yoko Maki certainly has it and she certainly shows it off.
The star is no longer a spring chicken -- a ripe jukujo age of 32 -- but nonetheless her killer bust will keep her well supplied with fans for many years to come.
Her famously large breasts have been on display before in a series of semi-nude photos she did in a shoot years ago.
She notoriously also did a nude sex scene in the film Veronika Decides to Die (2005, based on the novel by Paulo Coelho), featuring a bizarre masturbation sequent ...
The new official mascot for Shima City in Mie Prefecture is too erotic and has inspired a campaign to get it abolished.
The "ama-moe" character Megu Aoshima eroticizes the ama female free-divers who fish for pearls. Shima is famous for pearl-diving in Ago Bay. It will also host the 2016 G7 Summit, meaning world leaders will get to look on these illustrated hotties.
A petition to get the ama character banned for the way it "denigrates women" will be submitted to the mayor on August 13th. They already have around 170 current ama divers' signatures.
The city issued an open call ...
You've heard of itasha cars in Japan.
What about a ita-train?
That's what they have in Taiwan, where they take moe to extremes on the subway.
The walls, windows and ceiling were decked out in anime characters. Hordes of men were spotted wildly photographing the characters.
There were also some maids there to celebrate the opening.
The characters are the K.R.T. Girls (Xiao Qiong and Emilia), known as Takame Shojo in Japanese, the specially created anime character mascots for the train service in Kaohsiung.
Taiwan has quite a moe fetish, it ...
Otaku fans of the anime series Love Live! are literally worshipping their favorite 2D characters.
A certain promo at a game arcade was recently snapped showing posters of the Love Live! girls lined up along a wall with tatami matting for fans to come and pay their respects.
This meant to get down on their knees and kowtow.
Not just prostrating in reverence. At least one fan made an offering! He gave a sweet cake to his animated goddess.
Several anonymous otaku seemed to follow suit and leave multiple offerings behind for Honoka Kosaka and the other girls of Otonokizaka ...
While we hate people in the foreign media who paint Japan as a bunch of weirdos obsessed with strange gadgets and wacky fashion, when we see something like this, we can't really argue.
People actually spent a lot of money making this online promo!
Rock 'n' Roll Panty is just a giant panchira (up-skirt panty shot) fantasy platform. The interactive musical website allows you to get good views of cute ladies' underwear (as we know, panchira fetish is a massive phenomenon in Japan).
You "tap" (click) to the sound of the music, choosing drums or guitar or vocals, and with the ...
There's weird, and then there's weird.
This fetish Japanese AV title is very much the latter.
Here is Miira Onna -- literally, "Mummy Girl"!
This 97-minute AV stars Tsukasa Kanzaki and may well be one of the most unusual porn titles we've seen for at least a year.
Kanzaki plays a girl who finds a slender mummy buried in the ground. And the embalmed beauty is still alive!
Soon the mummy is found by some men, who put it to good use sucking them off and then being pleasured by massager vibrators.
This AV is clearly going somewhere where people don't usually go in ...
