Eriko Sato announces shotgun wedding to older foreigner
February 1, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Actress and Gravure model Eriko Sato (Satoeri) has announced her shock marriage.
Not only is she pregnant (whoops, what's a condom?) but her new husband is an older man... and a foreigner.
It's typical of Eriko Sato that she would choose a wealthy middle-aged for a much-anticipated husband. She is 33 to his 45 years.
No doubt she used her slinky body and F-cup busty charms to seduce this hotel owner.
When she released a new photo book recently she was quoted as saying: “I’ve heard my bikini shots are very popular with middle-aged men. Maybe it’s because I hit the age ...
Our slinky gravure idol of the week (to be fair, it's been longer than a week!) is the lovely Kyoko Hinami.
Another fine Japanese girl with sexy short hair, Kyoko Hinami is a gravure model and occasional actress born in 1994. Despite her youth, she has already shown willing to strip off -- rather than wait till her career flags to delight us.
Thanks, Kyoko!
Kyoko Hinami is currently trying to remake herself as a singer/musician under the stage name of Shurin. Not sure how she sounds but she looks ...
Following in the wake of Chubbiness, another high-profile idol group has been founded with larger ladies
Pottya features five members chosen out from 2,146 heavier ladies who auditioned (there's some serious demand to join these groups!). The rotund ladies have a combined weight of 380kg (838 lb)!
They recently held their first publicity event in Ebisu, Tokyo.
This is their first single, released on January 29th (apparently "good meat day" in Japan, appropriately enough).
Well, we don't think they are going to be winning any awards soon. But they will likely win some fans ...
Ravijour launches 2015 spring lingerie collection (with hot models)

We've said it before and we'll say it again. Move over, Gravure idols. Move over, music idols like AKB48.
The sexiest and sexiest-dressed ladies we encounter in daily life are the tantalizing posters we see on the Japanese lingerie shops.
In particular, Peach John and Ravijour, kind of the Victoria's Secret of Japan, never fail to make our jaws drop.
Now Ravijour has launched its 2015 spring collection and the results are eye-watering, as always...
As always, models include the ravishing haafu Elli Rose, and Mai Miyagi and Azusa ...
Get your hands around a six-meter giant anime hug pillow

Mineo is a mobile virtual network operator.
It offers a range of services. As reported by Rocketnews 24, apparently one of these is making giant (and we mean, GIANT) anime hug pillows!
Mineo is so big now they even have a mascot, Maineo-tan. In this video they showed off a new blow-up hug pillow of Maineo-tan that is six meters long and two meters wide.
Needless to say, the otaku customer who unwittingly finds himself with the giant character has to sacrifice some things in his small home to get her to fit in his apartment. But once they are snuggled up, he seems ...
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) in Tokyo: Photo report

/ Tadashi Anahori
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held in Tokyo on Sunday January 25th at an inconspicuous venue near Harajuku.
There were 96 booths, including cosplayers, idols, bondage artists, and more, spread out over six seriously packed floors, plus a basement showing the "Underground Fetish Film Festival" screenings.
Feti-Fes was first held in January 2013, since then it has been held eight times around Japan. This festival -- the fifth in Tokyo -- was the biggest so far and there seemed to be hundreds of visitors by our estimate.
Due to legal reasons, there was no nudity allowed in the ...
Hihokan (literally "secret treasure hall") are Japan's sex museums, a wealth of postwar kitsch that fester around the country.
Now Atami Hihokan, one of the most famous of them all, has apparently achieved the dubious honor of being the last remaining sex museum. Like a lot of regional facilities in Japan, the effects of a changing economy, cheaper overseas travel and depopulation have meant that the countryside is full of rotting and rusting theme parks and museums. The Hihokan have sadly not escaped this fate.

Amazon Japan raided by police for selling child porn

Amazon got busted!
Not even the biggest online retailer in the world is safe from the cops.
The Japanese police have raided the Amazon Japan office on suspicion of assisting the sale of child pornography.
On Friday, cops raided the Tokyo headquarters of Amazon Japan, plus the distribution center in Chiba Prefecture (ironically, you can spot it on the way to Disneyland).
The charges are that Amazon let products be sold on its website which broke laws against child pornography. The photo books featured nude girls under 18 and police suspect Amazon knew what the products were -- and ...
Former AKB48 idol Anna Mori offers dates on photo book crowdfunding campaign
January 23, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Like that perennial stumper "Where do elephants go to die?", the question of what happens to all the scores of AKB48 idols once they "graduate" is often on our minds.
Sure, some go on to mildly successful acting careers. But for the most, there is only oblivion or a career in porn.
Faced with this dilemma, Anna Mori decided to go to the grassroots.
She launched this crowdfunding campaign to get her first photo book into publication. Why should only the "top" ladies get all the kudos and merchandise? She has her fans too!
As she turned 20 (and thus an adult -- yes!), she set a ...
Japanese netizens responds to ISIS hostage crisis with internet meme and moe
January 22, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
The threat announced by ISIS to execute two Japanese hostages, Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa, unless the government pays them $200 million shocked many.
But not Japanese netizens. They responded with amusement -- by mocking the extremists through a series of composite images on social media.
Yes, a Photoshop contest is apparently the best response to terrorism. Maybe the government will follow suit with its own montage.
There are allegations that the video is a fake -- the shadows are strange and the background coloring looks imposed -- but regardless, two lives are potentially at ...
