Yasushi Akimoto, the producer behind AKB48 and its cohorts, never misses an opportunity to make money, even when the stimulus is safety and a nearly tragic event.
After the saw attack incident that saw two AKB48 idols Rina Kawaei and Anna Iriyama hospitalized, along with a male member of staff, and a maddened "fan" taken in custody by police, many predicted the end of the group's famous hand-shaking events. AKB has always promoted itself as "idols you can meet" but were they now just too big to be safe from madcap young men?

As always, it's the rural sticks where the most kinky action happens!
Gifu police have arrested a 53-year-old member of staff at a technical junior college for allegedly stealing a huge stash of schoolgirl uniforms.
Media reports are saying that officers searched suspect Koichi Hirose's home in Wakayama Prefecture (very far from Gifu!) and there uncovered a total of around 600 female high school girls' clothing, especially gym clothes, cheer leader uniforms, and volleyball clothes.
Hirose is employed at a public college in Wakayama but he has been traveling around Japan, sneaking ...
It's summer! Over the next few weeks the weather is going to really heat up in Japan. Then the beaches come alive with young slinky girls in bikinis.
The majority of these easy ladies, though, don't have much to show off there.
Here's a rundown of the sights you can catch on the sands of Japan's beaches during the summer months. For your information, a useful slang word in Japanese for this is bikini hinnyu -- flat-chested girls in bikinis!
For a comparison, here are some Japanese girls with varying chest sizes. The photos are taken from a unique ...
Apologies for yet another AKB48 post but this was too interesting to pass up.
Kyodo News is reporting that Mayu Watanabe's victory at the AKB48 General Election last weekend in the rain came thanks to the Chinese vote, a revelation which should stump the typically right-leaning netizens of Japan.
A Chinese newspaper claimed on June 10th that of the 159,854 votes that got Mayu Watanabe the coveted top idol spot, around 35,000 of those came from fans in China, playing a decisive role in the tight contest with Rino Sashihara.

She may well have only come second this year but she still has her die-hard fans.
Exiled former AKB48 idol Rino Sashihara finished runner-up in the AKB48 General Election last weekend but this was in spite of the best efforts of a farmer, who voted for her 4,600 times.
A strawberry farmer apparently with money to burn was personally responsible for over 3% of Sashihara's winning 150,570 votes last year.
He claimed he would get at least 4,600 votes for her this year, despite having a wife and two children of his own. Regardless, it didn't help as Mayu Watanabe beat Sashiko to the ...
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 ...

She is a member of the idol group ...
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.
