Given their names in Japan -- "Dutch wife" -- you would be forgiven for thinking that Japanese sex dolls come from Holland, or that the Japanese, with their usual filter on history, believe that they do.
As we've blogged about before, there is more than enough love dolls and sex doll history to demonstrate that they are certainly NOT an imported idea. Whether it's Edo era bamboo "husbands" or the contemporary silicone companions, the Japanese have long known what a sex doll is, even without using the word.
The nickname dattchi waifu for love dolls, actually going a big out of ...
Japan frequently -- hell, basically always -- pushed the boundaries and definitions of what is expected and accepted.
We think of AKB48 and we think of cubby otaku geek men who can't get a girlfriend, jacking off and then heading to the meet-and-greet scrums with the stars, the spunk still dripping from their hands. (Seriously, there are stories like this.)
Think again. AKB is also popular with cross-dressers! Yes, there are guys who find it erotic to dress up as one of the diminutive Akihabara idols and imitate their skimpy, sexy skirts and uniforms.
For precisely these chaps ...
Well, the big news in the Japanese celebrity world has been the sudden announcement by Meisa Kuroki and Jin Akanishi, formerly of boyband KAT-TUN, that they were married!
Yep, you've guessed it, yet another example of the now customary celebrity dekikon, or shotgun wedding. Meisa is said to be two months pregnant!
I don't know, I think this kinda embarrassing. I wouldn't want the world to know that my boyfriend doesn't use condoms when he screws me or that I don't have the intelligence to know that nakadashi ain't too sensible for the working woman!
I'm sure their respective ...
Our last nostalgic idols post was such a hit with the boys that I just had to think of some more.
This time I turned my retro eye to actress and idol Kumiko Takeda. Born in 1968, Kumiko is a voluptuous, well-bosomed lady who starred in plenty of movies and TV dramas throughout the 1980s, along with some ravishingly sexy nude shoots that make today's coquettish AKB48 idols look like children (well, that's because basically they are!). She is famous for her "shell bikini" shoot.
She actually married an American and moved out to the States, thus effectively ending her career in Japan ...
We're heading out later today to catch an art show. I know, very sophisticated, right? Well, this ain't some nansy pansy abstract malarkey. This is cosplay!
At pixiv Zingaro in Nakano, west Tokyo, from February 16th to 27th COSPLAY SHOWCASE will feature ten large prints of sexy cosplayers, selections from the photo book by Nobutsugu Sugiyama, which went on sale at the end of last month.
The book is based on an iPad and iPhone app where 120 cosplayers were dressed up in their finest, and then photographed with revolving technology -- so the final image can rotate. They called it ...
Us Japanese girls have a reputation for being, well, meek, right?
The truth is there are plenty of tough ladies out there. Most Japanese wives strictly control their hubbies' wallet and if you've ever met a girl from Osaka, likely you know they are not to be messed around with.
If you and your lady like the fighting spirit, then get into the real way of the warrior, history style, with these funky ninja and Sengoku Warring States period kinky costumes. I always like to give Tadashi a good whacking whenever he's feeling horny.
Recently in Japan there has been a craze for ...
Idol Sayaka Yoshino (29), after being outed by a tabloid media, has finally confirmed on her official blog that she is married.
While this is news sad enough in itself, then comes two bits of intriguing details.
She was married in September 2010 but did not say so until now, apparently out of deference to the March 11th, 2011 earthquake (WTF? How is that relevant?), but more likely in order to protect her reputation as a desirable gal that men would still in theory be able to bang if they fantasize hard enough!
The other juice titbit is that her new(ish) hubby is ...
Sometimes I look at the latest adult toys on the market in Japan and I can be a bit perplexed.
Like I was recently with the Chokouha Masturbator, kind of like a giant black block. But then I gave it a try and saw how well it worked...
Similiarly, when Taro showed me the Shobon 2ch Onahole I almost laughed. What the hell is that? I am a keen user of 2ch and soon clicked that it was a character based on the emoticon character 2channel users often deploy a feeling of shyness.
Naruhodo!
Okay, so I now get why it looks like that, but then why a sex toy? Well, my esteemed fellow ...
Only yesterday we were lamenting the victory of K-Pop over Japanese rivals.
And now we see news that kind of confirms how stranger and strange local pop music is getting. As if the boy band Sexy Zone (comprised of kids only just into their teens) or the army of AKB48 (not as young as they look, but looks are everything), now comes a new group with a much-trumpeted average age of just 13.7.
Formed by an agency to appear in TV dramas and sing terrible songs, Her Best is made up of 14 girls. There were over ten thousand applications to audition, leading to the name Her Best (sounds ...
Our favorite Korean sexy ladies, the indubitable and undefeatable Girls' Generation (aka Shojo Jidai or SNSD) are going to perform tonight on the CBS talkshow, "The Late Show with David Letterman". It's apparently the first Korean music act to appear on mainstream American television!
Their five-minute set will feature "The Boys" (in English!), the title song of their third full length album. AKB48, eat your hearts out! The gals with the long legs are in charge and all your moe antics count for nothing against pure, unrestrained female sexiness!
Japanese pop stars better start ...
