Good old Ikebukuro. That big hub of sleaze. The last gateway of Tokyo before the descent into the burbs of Saitama et al has more than its fair share of sex clubs and Chinese hookers prowling the streets.
And now comes news that three years ago a 24-year-old man had sex with a 14-year-old junior high school girl in a love hotel in Ikebukuro. Japanese schoolgirls in trysts with older guys in Ikebukuro... Why does this not surprise?
But it gets better.
The unemployed Shun Ikeda has been arrested recently not only for committing indecent acts with a minor in the summer of 2011 but ...
Sometimes models and actresses get a little bit of help to look better and further their career.
But this is an extreme case.
Japanese porn star Rina Nanase/Rumi Kanda has been having a series of plastic surgery operations to her eyes, nose and chin because she believes having a very spade-like look makes her look cuter.
Similarly to how former curvy gravure idol Yuuri Morishita has turned her face into a weird shape, Rina/Rumi has also become not so much "glamorous" as emaciated.
The result? See for yourselves. She looks like an alien or even Dobby from Harry Potter.
She has also been ...
This is a question we often ask ourselves about Japanese pornography.
With tens of thousands of actresses working in the industry, said to be the biggest in the world, which star has appeared in the most titles?
Apparently we weren't alone in wondering this, since some Japanese netizens have done the maths. Naturally the results steer older since the longer a career, the more titles you would have under your belt... though we never have any objections to a sexy Japanese MILF or two!
1. Yumi Kazuma (1,646 films)
2. Tsubomi (1,370 films)
3. Rio Hamasaki (1,201 films)
4. Reiko ...
Ass ass ass. We love asses. We love to look at them, to touch them and to kiss them.
But what about smelling them? Especially the anus? Well, sure. And some people REALLY like this, if you know what I mean.
Enough for Tama Toys to come along and create another one of the incredible replica smell fetish products with this Schoolgirl Real Anal Smell Bottle.
These kinds of special fragrance products are used by people on masturbators and sex toys, or added to sex dolls, clothes or just onto hands or a body. Basically when the fetish is this strong, the ball is wide open for what you can ...
Another Vice Japan short film here, this time following Kanae Murakami, a 20-year-old hostess plying her trade in Ginza's district of high-class clubs.
For all those who have sympathetic views of hostesses as girls who have to put up with drinking a lot with ugly men in smoky bars and who are only a fine line away from being a prostitute... well, first of all, keep in mind that Kanae earns around 40,000 yen a day -- something like four or five times what someone her age would be making in a job.
She works five days a week, from around 8pm to 5am or later -- and must also set aside an hour ...
We all dream of sleeping with or dating a porn star. Some people get to do it for real.
V6 is a Japanese male idol group whose primary job these days is to have sex with Japan's top female celebrities. Hard work if you can get it.
Go Morita (35) has been snapped with his latest conquest and one that is said to be more serious than usual. In fact, Morita is said to almost be living with porn star Alice Miyuki (26) after a year-long romance.
However, given Morita's status as a male idol, what will his young female fans think of a relationship of a woman who is so free with her ...
Designer Jo Nagasaka (Schemata Architects) has made the kind of seats that we definitely want to have in the Tokyo Kinky office.
"Shibari" is a series of black and white foam seats inspired by the classic art of Japanese rope bondage.
Nagasaka is showing his creations at this year's Milano Salone. Note the rope keeping the bulging seat in shape. Design-wise, it's a nice contrast of smooth curving rubber and sharp jagged lines.
There seem to be four seats, each slightly different and in two colors.
The foam seats are covered in rubber coating, which is of course not ...
We spend a lot of time indulging in images of hot girls and the like here on Tokyo Kinky.
What about the guys?
Well, if you've ever wondered about the life of the male host and his world of wining and dining female clients, now is your chance to find out more.
Vice Japan have produced another short documentary looking at Naoki, a top Japanese host at Club Fantasy in Kabukicho. Naoki is so good at entertaining and getting his guests to drink (more overpriced beverages) that he has been awarded the top prize among hosts for his sales. He is now a manager as well, despite being in ...
We love Japanese sex dolls. They are brilliantly made, always inventive, and have spawned all sorts of interesting social phenomena such as sex doll magazines, sex doll rental services, and more.
But this might be going a bit far.
Can a sex doll be a music idol?
Well, they can't sing -- not even lip-synch -- but that per se doesn't stop many other idols. But an important part of idol subculture is that the idol has a personality that can connect with fans. At a stretch, we can see this. But then how about the "handshaking" meet-and-greet events that have become such a large ...
We love it when an interesting fetish gets some mainstream attention. Sure, sometimes this can be sensationalist and tread a fine line between mockery and awe, but anything that opens up the conversation about alternative sexuality is got to be a good thing in our book. Especially if it involves Japan.
Zentai (short for zentai taitsu -- full-body tights) is the name of a fetish where people wear skintight all-in-one Spandex body suits. Everything is covered, including the eyes.
Zentai practitioners have recently been featured in an Agence France-Presse article that has been republished ...
