If you've ever gone to any expo, conference or industry event in Japan, you'll know that there are always hot girls in skimpy clothes, handing out merchandise, leaflets, and just generally trying to attract attention to the booth they are representing.
The cynic in me says these ladies -- known as "booth babes" or companions -- weren't quite "good enough" to be models, haven't yet made it as actresses, and don't fancy being hostesses (or maybe they do that at night) or porn stars (again, actually they could be doing that on the same, as one of the army of unsung kikaku joyu who exist ...
Tokyo's AKB48 has already spawned NKE48 (Nagoya), NMB48 (Namba, Osaka), HKT48 (Hakata, or Fukuoka) and SDN48 (adult version)...Now comes JKT48 for, er, Jakarta!
JKT48 is a new overseas experiment from the makers of Japan's top idol groups. If it's a hit perhaps we'll see other bands forming in Singapore, Paris and elsewhere? I'm just surprised that they didn't try Seoul first, given the great similarities between Korea and Japan, but perhaps all the K-Pop gals were too scary to compete with!
To start with they have announced an open call for auditions in Indonesia, with results to ...
Tenga, the best adult toy goods maker in the world bar none, has done it again. After trying their hand at the James Cameron-esque 3D Tenga, they've now gone back to one of their early hits, the simple but very effective Tenga Eggs.
These stretchy silicone eggs can be pulled right over your cock and allow you to pleasure yourself with the delicate and stimulating designs on the inside, while still letting you feel your hand through the material.
The first two sets were huge hits back in the day and since then Tenga went supernova with its Flip Hole series. Now it has gone back to ...
Top idols AKB48 have been promoting almost every product in Japan recently and prominent among the campaigns has been the one for travel agency H.I.S.
Though you sadly can't actually book a trip with any of the lovely ladies, you can go some of the way there with the latest addition to the marketing smorgasbord: An AKB48 augmented reality app for smartphones!
From August 22 to September 30, guys up and down the land are going to be occupied with oen thing only -- the AKB48 Augmented Reality Stamp Rally. After downloading the free app, uou have to go to branches of H.I.S. and read the AR ...
Japan's parking lots are pretty cool, especially the tower ones that take cars up for storage in cool elevator machines.
It seems it's a competitive business as the owners are now getting imaginative. So much so that Osaka's Nipponbashi has come up with a novel scheme to attract young male drivers. We've heard of maid cafes. Now we have a maid parking lot!
Usually these tower parking lots feature a old gent or other member of staff to help guide your car in and onto the right place to be taken upstairs (you get out of the car of course). But the team greeting you at "Maid Parking ...
Koonago is small person porn. And I mean, small like Ant Man small. So small that the girl can literally become part of a meal. So small that she can "ride" your giant cock, hanging from it like an insect. It's toy girl porn.
Needless to say, koonago is a niche fetish and the material seems to just be manga and anime, as far I can tell. The name comes from a type of fish and I reckon likely draws some inspiration from Alice in Wonderland.
I recently discovered this for the first time (though it's not so new) and just had to share it with you as yet another example of how innovative ...
AKB48, eat your heart(s) out!
Marshmallow 3D are the new sexiest idol group in town. They even let you have a fondle of their breasts!
While the AKB48 meet-and-greet sessions with their fans regularly descend into chaos (fans not interested in certain group members, others not wanting to let go after shaking the hand of the idol), I reckon this kind of idea could be even more disastrous.
They're letting people have a good grope on television, for a price, naturally...Certainly is a little bit more 3D than the likes of Avatar managed!
Amazingly this was not just gratuitous ...
Geeky white guys can get hot Japanese girls (or at least, their panties). It's official. And adidas can help you do it!
Here's the tip for all you guys out there: Get yourself some adidas running shoes and prepare to lift the skirts of hot Japanese girls just by moving past them.
This is actually causing some controversy at the moment, with many viewers feeling (and commenting online) that the ad is degrading, sexist and all those things.
It's notable that it is a geeky-looking white guy and a very hot Japanese idol (Yurika Kurozawa, for those interested), who then giggles and ...
Face with a male population overworked and too stressed for sex, or so-called "herbivore" soushoku danshi (草食系男子) guys who care more about shopping than pussy -- is it any wonder that local ladies are seeking solace...in each other's arms?!
That's the rumor!
I just read that lesbian OLs ("office ladies", i.e. the girls who slave away in Japan's air-conditioned, anonymous offices) are on the increase, according to employees at love hotels. And of course they see ALL of society pass through their doors.
Says one employee:
I've been working here for 15 years and in the ...
Man, I can't BELIEVE I missed this!
To promote the global release of the Tenga 3D, the new designer masturbator, Tenga held a special exhibition -- Tenga 3D Museum of Art -- in Harajuku, central Tokyo, to celebrate the art of the world's most stylish adult toy.
It included photos and exhibits from photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, film director Hiroyuki Kado, designer Keisuke Takahashi, and artist Noboru Tsubaki. The works featured suitably stylishly erotic images of dancers like Kim Ito, all holding one (or more! because you can't have too many) of the five varieties of the new Tenga ...
