Rokudenashiko (or Rokudenashi-ko), the "vagina artist" arrested in the summer for distributing 3D data of her pussy, has been taken into police custody again, promising to reignite what became an international sensation about female rights and censorship. This time her "crime", says Tokyo Reporter, was another vagina selfie artwork, though sculptural this time rather than photographic. Megumi Igarashi -- Rokudenashiko's real name -- was arrested with a writer called Minori Watanabe. Rokudenashiko, an artist name meaning "Good-For-Nothing Girl", has previous made a series of ...

Photographer Yuki Aoyama has managed to persuade the world that he is not a sleazy guy with a lens, but an artist. That takes some skill because his subject is always schoolgirls, particularly sweet and innocent-looking Japanese ones. What other country in the world would revere a photographer who calls his breakout hit "Schoolgirl Complex"? "Taiwan Kawaii School Girl" is his new release this month and, as the name suggests, features not Japanese female students but Taiwanese ones. Can Taiwanese schoolgirls be as cute and alluring as their Japanese equivalents? It seems ...

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.
