We first heard about this cosplay dream at the end of last year. Bandai had worked with Peach John -- who know a thing or two about lingerie -- to create these fantastic Sailor Moon-themed underwear sets.
And then they sold out in days.
They promised a return and more stock. They re-launched last week and we spoke to our friends at KanojoToys.com about selling them globally.
Then the Sailor Moon cosplay lingerie sold out again. In one day. In all colors.
We think the high attention might have something to do with the fact that they got sexy model Rei Yasui to model the ...
The pizza delivery man is a staple motif of porn. But what about cute Japanese pizza delivery girls?
Or even pizza delivered by two-dimensional idols?
Love Live!, a collaboration between Dengeki G's Magazine and a record label, is an anime, manga, video game and series of music releases, set at the fictional Otonokizaka Academy, where a group of girls start up an idol band called μ's (pronounced "muse").
Since Valentine's Day until March 30th, the Pizza Hut Kanda branch has been operating as "Pizza Hut Otonokizaka" complete with Love Live! girls on the shutter, windows and even the ...
It seems the foreign media has just discovered what a love hotel is.
Only the other day we blogged about an article that held the love hotel industry up as a shining light in Japan's economic doldrums.
Now AFP have followed up with this recent video report to accompany the same article in which an intrepid camera crew interview a hotel manager about the love hotel system.
Pressing buttons, pay, get the key and then go up... "Discretion is guaranteed."
There is a nice touch where the camera lingers over a catalog advertising some sexy costumes.
It also features footage ...
After sizzling in previous titillating striptease TV commercial and titillating us with her luxurious body in the lingerie photo shoots, AKB48's only genuinely hot member Haruna Kojima is back with another sexy Peach John TV ad.
This time the scene is -- like a plot from a bizarre outdoor Japanese porn film -- a horse racing track! Haruna first shows off her body on the paddock where she parades her stead. Then she takes to the track to win the race and then promptly take off her clothes again to reveal her modeling the pink "work bra II", which is 20% lighter than a regular bra. All ...
This is a request to make a dream-come-true happen again.
In 2013 gravure model Yukie Kawamura starred in the TV adaptation of manga "Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches".
Kawamura, despite being 27, played Rika Saionji, the seventh "witch" and a high school student. But not just any high school student. Rika Saionji is a "no-pan" (no panties) schoolgirl!
Well, this is Fuji TV so there wasn't any actual nudity. However, Yukie revealed some tantilising details about her own commando experiences.
She says she often just lounges around completely naked when staying at hotels for work. And ...
If you are a fan of girls with knee high socks -- and we know there are plenty of them out there! -- as well as "the absolute zone" (zettai ryouiki), that Japanese love of the slender upper thigh, then this Zettai Kutsushita app is something you must get on your device ASAP.
The so-called Zettai Ryoiki is derived possibly from the Evangelion series and refers to the tantalizing area of the upper thigh, a point of pure flesh framed between sock and skirt. The popularity of the "zone" was such that there was even a minor trend for girls walking around with ads on their thighs (zettai ...
A 29-year-old public servant in Tokyo's Adachi ward was arrested on February 17th for attempting to kidnap a young girl.
Kentaro Makino previously went into the grounds of an Edogawa ward condo in July last year. He waited there for kids coming home from school. Soon enough a 10-year-old elementary school student arrived, who he threatened with a knife and told her he'd bring her home again as long as she kept quiet. He then put handcuffs on her and put her into a large boston bag.
However, the girl put up a fight and screamed her lungs out, so a frightened Makino dropped his spare ...
Here's a cautionary tale just after Valentine's Day to remind us how wrong things can go.
A 48-year-old life insurance employee was arrested on February 13th by police in Shakujii in Nerima in Tokyo. Yokohama resident Keisuke Munakata is accused of sending threatening notes to a girl he met at a wedding party in 2013.
Munakata and the 27-year-old girl from Nerima dated last year. But when things went wrong, Munakata sent her a note saying "Keep your eyes out. Something might happen to you." This intimidation apparently continued from from last December to January.
The pair met at a ...
While much of the economy is struggling to find any positive effects from PM Abe's fiscal policies, and consumers are dreading April and the impending raising of consumption tax, there is at least one industry that seems unaffected by the financial doldrums.
Love hotels are doing big business.
As we know, sex always sells. It doesn't matter what the crisis is, people will always pay for sex -- whether that is with their partner, material for their own private fun, or to hire the services of a professional.
An AFP article has picked up on the love hotel phenomenon as a sign that ...
It's snowing in Tokyo right now, making for a very chilly Valentine's Day.
Unlike the west, February 14th in Japan is the day for the ladies to give chocolate or gifts to the guys, who then reciprocate on March 14th ("White Day").
Either way, it's a day when the love hotels are always fully booked -- especially because this year it falls on a Friday -- so getting your Valentine's Day treat requires some planning if you don't want to be disappointed.
Popular dates include a trip to Tokyo Tower, an aquarium (lots of dark corners for snuggling), going to see a movie (not as obvious ...
