Schoolgirls, lesbians and bondage. Put these together and you might just have box office gold.
At least, that's what the producers of the film adaptation of "Chotto Kawaii Iron Maiden" are hoping.
The low budget movie is exactly those three things. Originally a cult manga by Makoto Fukami, it stars Noriko Kijima and Yuki Mamiya as student members of an official school club that is actually a BDSM circle.
Cue lots of groaning and young schoolgirls looking angsty.
What starts off as an exploration of pain and submission (the students are actually "training" to become ...
This time it's not fake.
After blogging a few days ago about the obviously fake "fan" who claimed to have spent $310,000 on AKB48 CDs, the internet has responded.
Now the real stuff is here, a deluge of cringing photos of boxes and piles of actual AKB48 CDs.
The fans buy bulk loads of CDs in order to extract the "votes" you can get from each CD. These can then be used in the "election", which is currently happening (and which Rino Sashihara looks set to win again, despite not even being a member of AKB48 any more).
This practice is encouraged by the AKB48 money men, who of course ...
As we know, AKB4 hottie Haruna Kojima is a face (and body) of Japanese lingerie brand Peach John.
The latest exploitative ad campaign features Haruna -- officially, according to the AKB rules, a virgin -- getting frigid in the ice. She freezes a foreign guy trying to make advances on her.
In the end, Haruna is seduced by a dashing foreigner who takes off her clothes. She then goes off arm-in-arm with the gaijin, no doubt to break some of those AKB rules on no sex before graduating.
The whole ad is a sort of pastiche of the Disney movie Frozen, which has been a phenomenal ...
It's election time and we don't mean for a new prime minister. It's AKB48 "General Election" time.
But with the biggest stars (no more Mariko Shinoda, Yuko Oshima or Atsuko Maeda) already out of the world's most populous music group, AKB48's star is beginning to wane and recent album sales have been lower.
In the annual general election, fans can buy votes -- yes, vote-rigging is legal in the music industry in Japan -- that come with CDs. This encourages the crazies to go, well, crazy.
One fan of minor member Juri Takahashi has allegedly gone so far as to purchase ¥31,502,400's ...
We all know that college students have a lot of sex (if they're lucky) and that it's an age when you explore things. After a few drinks you might even try some kinky stuff with your new partner.
Well, that's all going to stop at one Japanese university.
Kinki Daigaku used to call itself "Kinki University" in English, an apparently harmless reference to the name of its region. Well, maybe they were more innocent times back in 1949 when the university was founded and the English name decided.
However, being pronounced "kinky" and spelt almost the same, the name naturally causes a lot of ...
Do you like getting a handjob? Sure you do.
How about from a Japanese high school girl? Her 18-year-old delicate hands wrapping around your member, giving it a two-handed shake...
Giving a new definition to "hands-on" reporting, we tried out the Yojo Senpai Her Small Hands, which is a Japanese sex toy designed to replicate the gentle pleasures of a schoolgirl's handjob.
This isn't just a gimmick.
The two hands really do wrap around you very snugly. Be sure to apply plenty of lotion before you slide yourself in, as the hands do make for a very tight cupping effect.
Not ...
We all have fantasies about the sexy nurse who knows how to tuck you in.
Well, at least one nurse in Osaka really did have the know-how, cultivated through experienced at her second job.
Tokyo Reporter has picked up a nice story from the media about the Osaka Medical Center and Research Institute for Maternal and Child Health, which has suspended a 24-year-old nurse from work because the young nurse was also employed at an Osaka “fashion health” (a type of sex club) from August 2013 to April this year.
The nurse was accused of violating internal regulations regarding side ...
Who says old people can't think about sexy stuff? Not in Osaka, that's for sure.
Japan's traditionally roguish second city's residents came up with a great way to revitalize Fuminosato Shotengai, an old shopping street.
They created a series of ironic and eye-catching posters about the local businesses. What we loved the most were the particularly risque posters which showed that even when the demographic skewers older, the mind still skewers dirtier.
They ran a poster design competition to support the remaining shops in the arcade, once a thriving commercial street but which, like ...
Have you ever watched Japanese pornography? Have you ever had sex with a Japanese girl or listened to someone else having sex with one?
It's not all girls but a large number will make noises the likes of which you never imagined could come from a partner.
Is it crying? Is it high-pitched moaning? Is it screaming?
Either way, it can be very off-putting for some, not to mention embarrassing in case your neighbors hear. After all, you're not raping the girl!
But then they also saying things like kimochii (feels good) and iku iku (I'm coming).
Why do they do it? No one has a ...
Wow, this is big. We have been worried about police crackdowns for a while, especially with the upcoming Olympics likely to become an excuse for exerting state power.
Could this be the tip of the iceberg?
Police have raided one of Tokyo's top BDSM clubs, KUNKUN. The Ueno club is pretty big (we've been there) and also fairly new (it opened in mid-2012). It is the base of one of Japan's best-known shibari (kinbaku) rope bondage art masters, Hajime Kinoko (Hideto Hiramatsu).
Of course, there is a thin line between being bondage club where a show may take place and being a "happening" ...
