How can you get the edge on competitors in the real estate market? What's a sure-fire way to win male customers?
Welcome to Girls Chintai (literally, "girls rental").
It sounds like an escort service or one of those Japanese rent-a-girlfriend services that the overseas media loves to write about, but it's actually a service offered by an estate agency to attract male clients.
Staffed entirely by young, fashionable women, Girls Chintai creates a "date-like atmosphere" while taking you on visits to potential homes, so you can pretend you have a hot girlfriend and imagine what it would be ...
Convenience stores are, well, convenient for a number of reasons: the food and drink available, paying your bills, using the copy machine, or popping to the bathroom.
Some conbini have a rule that you are meant to inform the staff on duty that you wish to use the toilet. Many people don't bother to ask permission but it seems one customer in Fukuoka took this rule a bit far.
The 28-year-old Atsushi Iwao was such a stickler for the rules, in fact, that he even specified exactly what he planned to do inside the public convenience. And it wasn't a number one or number two.
Indeed, as he ...
Halloween is well and truly back. And that means plenty of flesh on display in Shibuya.
Since Friday, the Tokyo district has been packed each night with cosplayers massing for the impromptu cosplay street party that has defined Tokyo Halloween for several years.
In an effort to control the phenomenon, which has resurged this year almost for the first, full time since the Covid pandemic, Shibuya has temporarily banned drinking on the street. The police presence is significant, of course, after the minor unrest in 2018 that led to a truck being overturned in Center Gai. This means hundreds of ...

The model Riho Takada (高田里穂) has made a triumphant return to gravure and is now releasing her first print photo book in 11 years.
As featured in the cover shoot for the October 31 issue of Weekly Playboy, the 28-year-old Riho went nuder than ever before for the swimwear/beach-themed and lingerie shoot.
Other shots feature her topless, her breasts covered by her hands and arms held close to her chest, or by a carefully positioned shirt.
We're not sure why all these autumn photo books think a summer theme is the way to go -- see the new photo book by Hana Takeuchi for ...
Gotta catch them all!
Well, there are so many Pokémon that that aspiration is surely impossible. But it seems you can catch the important ones.
Satoshi not only caught Pikachu, but was spotted giving Pikachu a good kiss.
Namely, a guy dressed as Satoshi (Ash Ketchum in the West) was recently seen kissing a lady friend dressed as Pikachu in a backstreet of Shibuya.
The young couple, presumably at the end of a successful date, were surreptitiously filmed in an alleyway exploring each other's faces. The four-second video subsequently uploaded to Twitter on October 24 has gone viral. The ...
We're rather belatedly catching up with some of the AV and gravure releases we missed last month. One was the first photo book released by the gravure idol Hana Takeuchi (竹内花).
"Hana no Mitsu" (Flower Nectar, or Hana's Nectar) came out on September 8 from Wani Books, which specializes in gravure publications. Shot by Seiji Yanishi, the photo book has a summery vibe that doesn't sit well with the autumnal temperatures in Tokyo, but we're not complaining about the shots of Hana clutching blocks of ice to her naked chest.
Talking of which, according to her profile, the 24-year-old has a ...
Managers at Universal Studios Japan are clutching their pearls at the risqué costumes that some patrons are wearing.
The coronavirus pandemic was almost the nail in Japan's Halloween street cosplay coffin: the pandemic years saw the numbers of people gathering for street parties in crazy costumes (often bearing no relation to Halloween) drop dramatically.
Now the custom is returning and theme parks are also always popular places to visit in costumes, regardless of the season. But it seems that patrons at USJ in Osaka are taking things too far, emphasizing the sexy side of the Japanese ...
Hong Kong have cracked down on foreign sex workers, arresting numerous women on October 17.
According to local news reports, they included the former Japanese porn star Noa Aizawa (愛沢のあ), who has been working as a prostitute from a hotel in the city.
Police have targeted a prostitution ring that was promoting Aizawa's services as a sex worker on social media by using her past adult videos as promotional material. Along with Aizawa, another woman arrested at the hotel was from Thailand. They both entered Hong Kong on travel visas.
In all, 16 women were arrested in a series of ...
Sometimes we see something that makes us feel a bit nostalgic -- and a bit old!
Rika Adachi (足立梨花) was one of our favorite gravure idols about a decade ago, mainly for her nice butt. She made it onto our now-legendary list of "Japanese babes with great asses."
To be honest, we haven't followed all the ins and outs of her modeling and acting career in the years since, though we remember when she was forced to deny having had plastic surgery (which is secretly quite common in Japan).
Well, now Rika Adachi has released a new photo book to mark her thirtieth birthday (what? When did ...
