Private detectives are something of a cottage industry in Japan: they derive much of their clientele from men or women (but especially women) who suspect their spouses of adultery. Catching them in the act or at least gathering concrete evidence of adultery will lead to a better payout in a divorce. Many such services specialize in discreet teams of female agents with hidden cameras.
One recent story seems to start off in the usual manner.
A wife suspected her husband (not pictured) of adultery and hired an agency to snoop around. The warning signs were there.
Her husband would disappear ...
We've said it before and we'll say it again, once more for the people at the back: Japanese lingerie advertising is the place to go to see some of the country's hottest gravure models and music idols in scantily clad attire, often hotter than the more placid and conventional aesthetic of gravure that we encounter on the pages of the weekly magazines.
The two big names in the industry are, as regular readers will know, Ravjour and Peach John.
The latter has picked 19-year-old Aika Sawaguchi (沢口愛華)) for their next brand ambassador. The up-and-coming gravure star is not really typical ...
Tenga is not only one of the top adult brands in Japan, it is also one of the most savvy in terms of its marketing strategies. It is known for adopting headline-grabbing, viral publicity tactics, not least launching a rocket into space.
But sometimes these are more sincere.
Tenga has provided a gamer called Jeni (or Shunya Hatakeyama) with sex toys after the brand heard that he uses Tenga toys to cushion his homemade chin controller. Jeni has muscular dystrophy and uses his chin to operate a stick for playing games. He has been a wheelchair user since second grade and finds empowerment in ...
While train groper (chikan) stories are two a penny, a somewhat more sensational one grabbed the headlines recently: someone accused of groping a passenger and caught at Shinjuku Station fled across the tracks, causing delays to four major JR lines for 50 minutes, including the Yamanote Line. Far from escaping, though, the man seriously injured himself and is currently hospitalized.
The incident took place on October 28 at around 11:15 p.m.
Well, it now turns out that the suspect was none other than a police officer!
It doesn't bode well for your police force, already under fire for how ...
Three years on from graduating HKT48, Haruka Kodama (兒玉遥) has rewarded her long-term fans with a shoot that shows her butt and lots of side boob, under-boob, and cleavage. We suppose it's a matter of debate whether this constitutes a nude or semi-nude shoot.
Haruppi gets about as close as you can without showing her actual nipples, pulling up her clothes as if to reveal the goodies and letting her top linger just enough over her breasts to protect her modesty.
In one shot of her butt, she's possibly wearing a thong, but in another she's slipping down her denim shorts to reveal those ...
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 ...
