If something seems too good to be true, it typically is.
Patrons of a hostess club in Hong Kong may have thought their companions serving them overpriced drinks were going to be super hot, given the images that advertised the ladies to be found inside...
In fact, keen-eyed visitors to the K-Pressure may even have been forgiven for thinking that the girls in the staff list included Japanese Gravure idols Yuri Morishita and Yuu Tejima, given that their photos adorned the outside of the bar.
While it is well-known that certain minor Gravure idols moonlight as prostitutes and hostesses, or are ...
It's been a while since we had an Idol of the Week -- are they becoming more like Idols of the Month? -- so to break the mold, here's the very charming Rika Adachi (足立梨花).
Rika was born in 1992 in Mie and has starred in a few TV drama series.
On top of her girl-next-door pure looks, she has a wonderfully grab-it-with-one-hand ...
They say lightning doesn't strike twice but such rules don't apply to Japanese pornography, which has always proved tempting to aging or waning Gravure idols and actresses. And former AKB48 girls who find themselves a defacto porn star during their time in the group -- and upon "graduation" discover it's a mere side step to enter the real thing.
Porn maker Muteki has managed to persuade former AKB48 Team K member Risa Naruse to become "Haruna Aisaka" for her debut, National Idol.
The 100-minute porn feature film will be released in Japan on October 1st.
Risa Naruse was born in ...
Hardly the biggest surprise of the week but a worthy topic of news, Tokyo Reporter has highlighted an interesting report of the arrest of a Nigerian club owner arrested by police for drugging and stealing from his customers.
Officers took Emanuel John, the 44-year-old manager of Little Cat, which is located in the in the red-light district of Kabukicho, and three hostesses into custody on theft charges.
On April 20, a hostess allegedly spiked a vodka drink served to a 43-year-old male customer with a sleeping powder. His cash card was then stolen from his wallet and taken to a nearby ...
You may wonder why there is so much chikan (groping) in Japan, especially on the trains...
Well, one answer could lie in the fact that even respected and veteran male TV presenters feel that it is okay to grope their female co-host's ass live on television!
Yes, that's what Mino Monta did. See the video below. You can just make out his much younger co-host trying to keep his hands off her.
Bizarrely it appears to be during a segment about a community affected by the 2011 Tohoku disaster, which wouldn't normally be the kind of story that would inspire men to start groping the ...
AKB48's Asuka Kuramochi has grown up. She will release her first solo photo book on September 11th called "Mimi-tabu", which means "earlobe".
We're not sure if this has some sort of coded meaning or whether the photos will showcase Asuka's lovely ears. Saying that, Asuka is known as an "ear sommelier" and apparently has a liking for liking other girls' ears...
The release will coincide with her 24th birthday, though we think the present is more for us than her!
The shoot was done in Asuka's local town, Yokohama, and handled by photographer Tatsuo Watanabe.
While ...
Four men have been arrested in Tokyo for theft by Kanagawa police after they blackmailed a man they met through a smartphone deai-kei app.
Deai-kei refers to the portals online and off where men go to meet girls for sex. It is somewhere between adultery and prostitution, but the variables are huge. You might be talking to a few men posing as teenagers or you might be arranging to meet a genuine girl who wants some cash for a new handbag.
The four men were in their teens and twenties. They apparently scouted a thirty-year-old man from Fujisawa City via the app and invited him to the mean ...
That's a question I devote considerable time each day to thinking about.
Well, luckily we have some hard data to back our speculations up.
Triumph, the underwear brand, has released some statistics on its bra sales and so we have some nice data on which cups sell most -- and thus, can presumably infer on the proportion of breast sizes across the country.
Note, though that the numbers are for 2011, though we doubt that Japanese breasts have evolved so much in two years.
So, here we go.
A Cup: 8%
B Cup: 23.8%
C Cup: 26.7%
D Cup: 22%
E Cup: 12.8%
F Cup: 4.8%
G Cup: ...
Just imagine you like AKB48. Now imagine you like AKB48 so much you will commit a crime.
That's what four teenagers did.
They mugged a man in order to have cash to buy special clothes to "look good" for a meet-and-greet hand-shaking event with the idol group.
Aged between 15 and 17, the kids came up to a 27-year-old grad student as he was leaving a convenience store earlier in August in Kamiya, central Tokyo. Confronting him in their best macho voices, they managed to get away with his phone, his money and even the can of beer he had just purchased. The victim apparently ...
We love documenting the intriguing fetishes that exist out there -- and be sure, we don't do out of any sense of judging! Quite the opposite, we are kind of celebrating difference.
Anyway, another example has just come to light.
A man was arrested in Kanagawa prefecture over the weekend for stealing. Nothing new in that, except that he stole bicycle seats. A lot of them. 200 of them.
Police first came to see Joji Kondo to investigate the theft of three seats from an apartment block at around 4:45 AM on August 22nd. In Kondo's lair of pungent desire, they found 200 bicycle ...
