We really, really tried to resist the temptation to post something facile and silly about the recent demise of Kim Jong-il. As you can see, after much inner wrangling... we failed spectacularly! Having been married several times and fathered numerous kids, it's no secret that Jong-il had an eye for the ladies... No prizes for guessing the next leader. But did you know Kim Jong-il had a second job as a DJ? [See more of this great series here.] Funny how so many in his country lacked food and yet their leader always seemed so well-fed. Who says the North ...

We had a little internal vote -- I promise you, nothing like as rigged as recent Russian elections! -- and have decided that our favorite idol for this year is Yukie Kawamura. Not a newbie on the scene at all (hell, we even made her Idol of the Week a year ago!), but with every viewing she just gets better and better. Combining classy looks with cutesy smiles, a killer slinky body and a generous bust, Yukie gets our votes any day! Born in 1986 and from cold northern Hokkaido originally, this year Yukie started advertising the Toyota Prius, plus a pachinko slot game ...

Any newbie visitor to Japan quickly realizes that phone cameras here must carry a rather loud "shutter" noise for the moment when you take your grainy snap. The reason? Needless to say, with mobile innovation Japanese pervs were very fast to use it as a new tool for photographing up girls' skirts. But as the smartphone devices have been flooding the market, authorities have been unable to control the use of apps to make camera "shutters" go silent. And with silence comes plenty of opportunities to snap panties and more. Unlike regular keitai mobiles, the smartphone shutter noises ...

Nyotaimori (女体盛り): the practice of eating sushi off a naked woman's body. Does it actually happen? Well, judging by our experiences, probably not -- but it still looks great! The obscure and likely exaggerated "custom" looks great in porn and probably crops up more in western films set in Japan than in real Japan. Yeah, thanks Rising Sun, Map of the Sounds of Tokyo et al... However, there have been cases of university students holding nyotaimori events but quite how tongue-in-cheek, we don't know. This balanced 2009 article describes Nyotaimori as an underground ...

Only the other day we were blogging about the orbital rise of amateur vlogger-turned-idol Eririka Katagiri. Now she has joined the echelons of the top JAV pornography stars like Maria Ozawa and Nao Yoshizaki. She has her own clone masturbator onahole and love juice lube, both recreated from her real body, reverse engineered into a beautiful piece of pleasure-giving silicone. Eririka in your hand... And then there's Elly Akira. Half Japanese, half Syrian, Elly is a porn star also known as Yuka Osawa. But this lady is a real renaissance man, if you see what I mean: photographer, ...

It sometimes seems that the kids who are good at sport get all the girls, right? Well, yes and no. Masato Uchishiba (33) may have won two Olympic gold medals for Judo but it seems he is not champion of judgement when it comes to controlling primal urges. He has been arrested for "sexual assault" of a teenaged girl at a Tokyo hotel (=love hotel?) while she was drunk (i.e. he got her drunk) in September. Apparently the girl is a fellow judo team member at the university where Uchishiba worked as coach. Uchishiba claims the sex was by mutual consent, and we might have another case ...

To celebrate the Tokyo Motor Show currently running in the Tokyo Bay area, we wanted to introduce readers to a real Japanese tradition: the race Qqeen. The local equivalent of "pit babes" and a cynical promotional tool that no one complains about, the race queen can be found posing next to a race car while it is being serviced between circuits. Motor shows and other trade events also often employ similarly hot ladies to pout by a booth but generally are more clothed than the archetypal race queen. Soft on Demand has in the past supplied JAV porn stars for some events, and idols and ...

She's back. The stuck-up pouty lady. The sexy haafu. The one and only, Erika Sawajiri has returned to acting. After her singing career could have hardly have been called a success, Erika has decided to go back to something she was quite good at. It's not quite her glory days of yore, when she was offered major acting roles but it's a (re)start. Her new drama will be shown on the mobile phone television channel, Bee TV, marking her first acting role in four years after her ignominious exit from the Japanese entertainment world. The drama tells the story of two characters with ...

As if releasing the reversible Tenga 3D a few months ago wasn't enough for one calendar year, Tenga has gone back to its mega hit, the Flip Hole, to produce two ALL NEW versions! Gentlemen, your Christmas list is already complete: Behold, the Flip Hole Silver and the Flip Hole Red! The Flip Hole Red has the same flip-open casing which makes it easy to apply lube and also clean the toy. The unique internal design will wrap itself around you from all directions with a "grind rib" and "scrum brush" after you have slid yourself in. Inside you feel the densely packed of "tight brush" ...

Sometimes it seems that every TV show and every advertisement in Japan features a haafu (half-Japanese, half something else person). Well, yes, but a lot of these are fairly banal, plain people whose only real talent is having slightly larger eyes and more ambiguous skin. However, I want to introduce you to the haafu who put the "sex" back into "sexy". Drum roll please. We now present The Sexiest Haafu Ladies! Melody Yoko Reilly (b. 1988) Half Irish American. She seems to be a lingerie model among other things. Not sure about much else, but she looks damned ...
