Way back in 2005 there was a boom for a certain kind of sex doll. Well, to be precise, a sex doll service. Sure, Orient Industry's amazing love dolls, durable plush dolls and the like have been popular for many, many years.
But not everyone could afford to have their own luxury lifestyle companion. Nor did they necessary have the space. Perhaps they lived with their parents or with their wives and families. Or perhaps they were just unsure about the whole arrangement and wanted to give it a "test drive" first.
Well, trust Japanese consumer service to come up with a solution for this niche. ...
This week we choose the wonderful voluptuous Momoko Tani (谷桃子), with her graceful figure and elegant rear.
Born in 1982, Momoko has a lovely D-cup and an all-round gorgeous body. Let's a take a long, long ...
With the much trumpeted Tokyo Skytree finally opening this week (on a rainy, miserable day, no less), we thought we'd look over some of Japan's bizarre mascots characters for landmarks and tourist sites.
On the other side of the capital and at that other famous tower, namely Tokyo Tower, there is a pair of dungaree-wearing characters called the Noppon Brothers and they are, well, nothing less than the most phallic "innocent" mascots we've ever seen.
This got us thinking: Where did all this phallic mascot malarkey come from?
We reckon it can be traced back to good old Tengu, ...
Imagine being able to have a conversation with your vibe?
Well, perhaps we really could eliminate men from the equation!
If you're intrigued, you should definitely check out this new hi-tech vibe, the Voice Tobikko, which has speech and voice recognition functions so it can switch on at your command. Plus it's USB-charged so you don't have to worry about batteries or wires, and you can use it while watching certain kinds of interesting material on your computer!
It also has ten different vibration patterns, which is a heck of a lot more than Taro or Kazuki can manage even on a ...
Tattoos in Japan, for various complicated reasons, tend to be associated with the Yakuza. To be fair, lots of gangsters have them but that of course doesn't mean that any girl or guy with a bit of ink on their body is in the mafia.
Well, following a case where a childcare worker apparently displayed his or her tattoo to scare children, the municipal government of Osaka launched an all-out investigation, determining who on the city payroll has tattoos.
Not unsurprisingly the witch hunt found a minority of people in the waste management, construction and transportation departments who ...
We've all done our fair share of English language school teaching, and all the fun with colleagues and students that that entails... Not to mention all the sex!
So we were very keen to get our hands on this latest JAV porn epic, the Black English Conversation School Teacher Gyaru Orgy, in which a tall black Eikaiwa teacher finds himself giving VERY practical English tips to a group of gyaru ladies.
Group sex, interracial Japanese-on-black sex... Are we having fun or what?!
We also love the neat touch about the school's name, "MOVA", no relation to any other major English ...
Everyone knows that I am a big ass man so naturally I got excited when I heard about the Shiri.
Its makers say it is a "buttocks humanoid that represents emotions with visual and tactual [sic] transformation of the muscles".
We say it's the best sex machine that never was!
Yes, now the genius of Japanese engineering has been directed not to saving the country from its energy crisis, food shortage or any of the litany of other issues. Instead, there is Shiri, a realistic ass robot with "organic, artificial muscles".
Made using a urethane skeleton, there is a Gluteus Maximus Actuator -- ...
The Japanese like public baths (onsen) and they also like technology and otaku culture. Imagine mixing the three in the same way some hot springs allow mixed gender bathing!
Just released for Android phones, the Moe-yu app takes two concepts (moe and bathing) and lets users enjoy sensual bathing with special bishojo character Momori. Naturally Momori also talks to you (voiced by Asumi Kana) so you can, well, think you are having a conversation with a real girlfriend.
You can change backgrounds, and use the camera and augmented reality technology so that it even seems that the girl ...
Continuing our series of sadly little-known sexy ladies from Japan, we present the actress and idol Miho Yoshioka.
Born in Osaka in 1980, Miho is little in the public eye these days after she starting having children -- she's now got three kids! -- so we will have to make do with some lovely images from a few years ...
Mimi-kaki is the Japanese custom of ear-cleaning, but not just swirling a cotton bud around your lobes like any old perfunctory hygiene task -- but the act of having your ears lovingly tendered to by a maternal young lass, your head traditionally resting in her lap while she soothes your worries away.
It is very common for husbands to be "serviced" in this way and it can often become a form of bonding, or even foreplay, for couples. Psychologists of course will read all sorts of mother fantasies into this relationship.
Even the tool used is different, a kind of bamboo hook with ...
