A 22-year-old self-proclaimed "talent" has been arrested for shoplifting, in the process of which she claimed to be popular actress Emi Takei.
Misaki Hashikawa went to a specialist shop in Ikebukuro and tried on some 40 leotards, shoplifting 22 of them. She then sold the leotards in online auctions, rather foolishly using her own name.
But if you are going to the trouble of subterfuge, at least steal something with value, right?
Well, actually leotards can fetch a reasonable price. Apparently Hashikawa stole the equivalent of ¥1.1 million (over $10,000) of clothing!
Hashikawa has ...
Our luscious lady this week is the young Mariya Nagao (永尾まりや). Born in 1994 in Kanagawa Prefecture, the twenty-year-old idol is a member of AKB48's K Team. I know, we are breaking our own rule of "no AKB idols are truly hot" but, hey, you live and learn.
Given her lowly rank in the AKB universe, Mariya isn't going to be hitting the big time for a while, but that doesn't stop her cute charms from working magic on our hearts... and other areas of the ...
In the latest Olympic "clean-up" operation, now Chiyoda ward -- a large district in central Tokyo -- is following the efforts of police in Akihabara to crack down on "walking dates" passing new local legislation to ban them from April 1st.
In so-called "JK osanpo" men meet with girls they believe are high school students (the "JK" stands for "joshi kousei") and go on a "walk" with them, often culminating at a love hotel. These may be services that are prostitution in disguise or they may be more covertly arranged through individuals over websites. Some people don't just want sex, ...
On March 18th, pop singer Hikaru Utada has activated her Twitter account for the first time in 1.5 months. And one of her surprisingly rare tweets involved her confessing that "I have never been to a love hotel."
Utada of course has been famous since a young age, making her debut at 15. Even wandering the street is impossible, let alone a secret tryst at a love hotel. She would have been carefully managed by her agency and label, plus she was married to filmmaker Kazuaki Kiriya from 2002 to 2007.
Since then she has maintained a lower profile, living partly in London, where she met ...
The winner of the coveted Miss Universe Japan 2014 title has been announced as Keiko Tsuji, a twenty-year-old student from Okinawa and representing Nagasaki Prefecture. She will next represent Japan at the Miss Universe beauty contest.
Tsuji was chosen from a shortlist of around 40 after roughly 5,000 candidates applied from all over Japan.
These being enlightened times, there was also a male version, with Tohru Higa, another Okinawan, announced as the winner.
Such beauty contests have been marred in Japan by scandal of late. Ikumi Yoshimatsu, the 2012 winner of Miss International, went ...

Kanazawa is a genteel small city near the western coast of Japan, sandwiched between the central mountains and the Sea of Japan. It is home to samurai houses, art museums, a famous garden, and an old geisha district. In other words, it is like an alternate Kyoto.
But don't be fooled. Underneath this exterior of tranquility and grace there is a hotbed of fetishism.
Local police arrested a 21-year-old fourth-year college student from Takaoka City in neighboring Toyama City on suspicion on sneaking into an elementary school in order to steal girls' indoor shoes.
"I wanted to smell the ...
A 55-year-old man interested only in money and exploiting scantily-clad teenagers in his quest to empty the wallets of naive otaku and corporations with tastes bad enough to agree to advertising campaigns featuring his minions -- Yasushi Akimoto, the producer behind AKB48 and all its spinoffs.
This is a man whose only goal is to make his company's bank account richer, no matter what depths he plumbs.
This is a man who still claims to be making "music" despite his constant pandering to the lowest denominator in the AKB48 music videos and ad campaigns (nothing wrong with porn, of course, ...
About two years ago we blogged about the brilliant Vagina Panties, a "belt" you could wear to give yourself the female genitalia you otherwise lack.
Now the ever busy Japanese sex toys store Kanojo Toys have released the Vicky Panties, a similar but, in our opinion, even better looking version.
The Japanese adult industry is experiencing a real boom right now in mainstream cross-dressing accessories. Part of this is down to the popularity of otoko no ko, a type of cross-dressing as cosplay, though in general transgender is more tolerated. It even inspires photo books.
Major sex ...
Tokyo Reporter has an intriguing little report from a tabloid.
In the January 31 issue of Shukan Asahi, Minori Kitahara expressed concern over the popularity of a male masturbation aid that attempts to simulate the feeling of sex with an underage girl.
Kitahara is a fortysomething female "sexpert" and bestselling author. She was apparently shocked -- we weren't -- by the high sales ranks on Amazon.co.jp for such onahole masturbation sleeves as the Innocent Little Sister Onahole and Seven Teen Bordeaux Onahole, which replicate a sexual experience with a Japanese teenaged virgin.
“I don’t ...
