Google is essential for ours lives -- searching for information, browsing images, checking a location on a map. It can even help you pick the right love hotel. Love hotels have their own websites and there are also plenty of portal sites with information on the various amenities and features at each facility. Needless to say there are images. But none as detailed as these provided by Google Street View, which lets you tour a love hotel in the heart of Shinjuku's Kabukicho. The Designer’s Hotel & Spa Pasha Resort is more fancy than kinky, but sometimes that's what you ...

We're on a bit of a cross-dressing roll at the moment. After blogging about a major new josou club and bar in Osaka we now want to introduce a new photography exhibition at Ginza's Vanilla Gallery. It features portraits Tachibana has made over six years of newhalf (shemales) and josou cross-dressers. The exhibition is called "Traces of josou and the Theory of Happiness". Tachibana runs a studio that specializes in portrait photography for cross-dressers and shemales, as well as hair and make-up services. She has worked with top idols to old-timers in their seventies -- more than ...

A man in his late thirties living in Tokyo earlier this year sued AKS, the company that manages AKB48, as well as King Records (AKB's record label), and Google Japan for "nonfulfillment of financial obligations" after he had been denied the chance to shake hands with his favorite idol, Karen Iwata. The verdict on the case was heard in a court in Tokyo on November 20th. The court threw out the Hidenobu Onishi's suit, since it ruled the complainant had the choice to purchase or not purchase the band's CDs with the handshaking event tickets. The fan had previously sent AKB member ...

Our favorite fashion designer of the moment, Gomi Hayakawa (of feast, the lingerie for flat-chested girls, fame), has come up with a great combination of two great things: Tenga and coffee. She has come up with a "tumbler" in the Tenga onacup color -- tongue in cheek, of course, and without official endorsement from either Tenga or Starbucks as far as we know. Hayakawa shared her design idea via Twitter as an example of "Tenga merchandise for girls". Hayakawa, something of an intelligent-looking cutie herself, hasn't yet made a prototype, it seems, though this is one tumbler ...

Onna no ko Kurabu (Girls' Club) is where the action's at if you want an easy way to sample Japanese cross-dressing subculture. Man or woman, you can go to the club -- currently one in Tokyo, with a new club in Osaka's down-and-dirty Dotonbori district from December 1st -- to try on girls' clothing. The club keeps a wardrobe of rental clothes and wigs for joso (or josou) cosplay, dressing up as a girl. As we know, otoko no ko cross-dressing cosplay is big in Japan, though it is a hard-to-define point somewhere between "transvestite" and "cosplayer". Joso is the more conventional ...

They were clever and went to some sneaky ways to satisfy their fetish. But they were caught and now they have been punished. Four men, including Yuki Suzuki (41), have been arresting for illegally entering a warehouse in Koto ward in east Tokyo to photograph girls from behind while they peed. The woman who got them got was visitor at a barbecue park who had snuck off to pee by the warehouse. All these kinds of events -- firework displays, music festivals -- always have massive lines for the bathroom. After a lot of beer, people start to get desperate and just can't wait. The girl ...

... is the implication we can draw from data recently released by Hakuhodo as part of its Seikatsu Teiten project, an overview of survey data collected biennially on households on a range of questions. The results show some trends and changes in the national psyche, though interestingly this one, responding to the statement "I don't mind having sex on the first date if our feelings match", has hardly changed. It is now a solid 23.4%, up only 0.9% since the data started being collected in 1994. I guess attitudes towards sex on a first date are pretty established now. The highest ...

Yumi Adachi both fulfilled many men's fantasies and then shattered them. All in one year. The 33-year-old actress and model has been a quiet cutie favorite of many local guys. And so they were delighted when she took her clothes off. After previously almost going nude for a photo book, she finally went the whole hog with a so-called nureba (literally, wet scene) in the adult period drama Hanayoi Dochu (A Courtesan with Flowered Skin) this summer. In it she plays the titular courtesan to great erotic effect. There are two nude sex scenes. However, it was ...
