AKB48 veteran Mayu Watanabe has snatched victory from the jaws of reigning champion and notorious man-eater Rino Sashihara in the AKB General Election.
It is Mayu Watanabe's first time to be number one and she was no doubt helped to her victory by being the main singer in the group's current single. By default she is now one of the most senior singers in the idol group, which has seen the departure of most of its popular girls graduate onto the outside world (Sashihara has not been an official member of the main group since she was sent into exile for her sexual proclivities).

We recently discovered the very unusual work of photographer Kikuna Mishima.
Born in 1982, she won a major award at GEISAI #10, an art festival for up-and-coming young artists.
She takes ever-so-slightly grotesque shots of girls surrounded by teddy bears or planted in flower beds or inside drink glasses. One of the most startling is of a schoolgirl who has been partly "unwrapped" from her toy figurine box!
The results are cute, erotic and ...
Under Japan's current laws, it is illegal to produce and distribute child pornography. However, politicians are looking to toughen this up by making it illegal also top possess child porn. Japan is one of the few major industrialized nations not to have a law against this.
However, the new law will not include comic book depictions.
The proposed revision to the law would exclude manga, anime and computer graphics, but would make possession of other forms of child porn punishable by up to a year in prison and a fine of 1 million yen (nearly $10,000).
The bill was debated by a ...

Forget the Olympics.
During Tokyo's Olympic bid presentation a stupid buzzword was coined: omotenashi. It basically means "hospitality" and in the wake of Japan's victory is immediately became a popular word applied to almost any product, service or aspect of Japanese culture.
We prefer the omotenashi of the sexual kind. Namely, the girls who will do anything and let you do anything.
But it goes both ways. How about treating your partner to some classy hospitality?
Now you can with the Omotenashi Denma Massager Vibrator, a vibe not unlike the classic Fairy Wand.
These ...
As a promo for the upcoming film Sweet Poolside, a special swimwear cafe is opening in Akihabara for four dates only.
School Swimwear Cafe will be open on June 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th only. Not surprisingly the waitresses will be in swimsuit cosplay.
As we know, Japanese swimsuits are one-piece blue affairs and a staple of any decent fantasy in Japan, so this cafe is going to be a dream come true for many.
This cafe is a promo for the film Sweet Poolside. The movie is an adaptation of a cult manga by Shuzo Oshimi about school swimmers. The plot revolves around a cute girl in the ...
As spotted by Kotaku and now doing the rounds on the Internet to much hilarity, ex-Morning Musume idol cutie Ai Takahashi has been photographed posing innocently with a t-shirt that says boldly "I am a whore".
Another Morning Musume graduate, Yuko Nakasawa, had the offending image of Ai Takahashi taken when the 27-year-old Takahashi visited Fukuoka for some filming. After it was then uploaded to her blog it quickly went viral and Ai Takahashi's reputation as a sweet girl-next-door-type immediately went out the window.
Takahashi also uploaded it to her blog (both posts now long ...
Every day in Tokyo we walk past girls who cover the whole spectrum of cute, pretty, beautiful and down-right hot. Occasionally we make eye contact with them as we pass and there is a brief moment of Will-They-Speak-to-Me-Will-They-Not-itis.
Well, sadly, they never do. The look is probably just one of brief curiosity or even fear -- they can sense perving eyes on them.
Surechigai Bijo (Beautiful Girl Who Passes By) indulges in this fantasy of the urban cuties passing by you and glancing into your eyes.
The website promises to be updated every weekday with a new shrot video of ...
Kyoto is an elegant city of history, culture and temples. But there are also plenty of inventive folk with cameras looking to snap a shot between the legs of an unsuspecting schoolgirl or two.
As The Japan Times reports:
Surreptitious filming or taking of pictures up the skirts of high school females has long made headlines throughout Japan. A whole subgenre of magazines exists for peeping Toms who earn their living by taking photos on the sly, while the Internet has created unprecedented opportunities for getting photos and video out to the peeping public.
In an attempt to crack down on ...
We've written before about pregnancy fetish and breast milk fetish in Japan. Like other countries, there are guys who like to go to special sex clubs like Milky Baby in Ikebukuro to indulge in this fantasy.
We've located the source of this fetish, or least the oldest postwar incarnation that we know of!
According to Reuters:
In a Japan recovering from World War II, Yuichi Nakata spent six years traveling around the country asking lactating mothers if he could drink from their breasts. He sometimes offered to pay, and is said to have drunk the breast milk of around 1,000 women -- ...
