In Tokyo, we always see signage warning to be on the lookout for chikan (train groping) at stations and inside carriages. The government and police frequently issue awareness and prevention campaigns. We see videos on social media of passengers detaining a perpetrator or of suspects fleeing dangerously across the rails between platforms. And of course, there's no missing the presence of women-only carriages on most lines during rush hour periods.
But how common actually is chikan groping in Japan?
According to one new survey, it's very common: more than half of women in Tokyo have ...
Just days after devouring the absolutely incredible sex scene by Park Ji-hyun in Hidden Face, we're now watching the new Korean TV drama series The Queen Who Crowns.
The series on tvN and Korean streamer TVING stars Cha Joo-young, who regular readers will remember from 2023, where she made a very big impression in the Netflix series The Glory with her stunning breasts (though these were possibly enhanced by CGI).
Cha Joo-young appears in a sex scene in episode one (watch the clip here) but besides a brief glimpse of her breasts, you basically can't see anything due to dark lighting, quick ...
Earlier this week, we wrote about the brilliant Japanese porn parody of the Korean Netflix series Squid Game. Of course it's called Squirt Game.
Now comes a source of inspiration closer to home.
Ever year, the Japanese and international media is full of news about a record-breaking tuna auction bid. Often these bids are publicity stunts, done by people like the head of conveyor-belt sushi chain Sushiro.
This week, a 276 kg bluefin tuna fetched ¥207 million, which is a cool $1.31 million, at the first auction of 2025 at Toyosu wholesale fish market (the successor to Tsukiji market). This ...
Everyone is going wild about Park Ji-hyun's stunning sex scenes in the South Korean erotic thriller Hidden Face and we're not surprised: they are some of the best sex scenes we have ever seen in a mainstream Korean movie.
The 30-year-old Korean beauty is nude in two hot scenes in the film, including a nice shower scene that shows off her pale skin and finely shaped breasts and butt.
But the hands-down highlight is a passionate sex scene in which her lover pulls off her clothes, intensely sucks one of her nipples, caresses her breast, fingers her, and then pounds away while holding ...
The new Taiga drama Unbound has started on public broadcaster NHK. The period drama is an institution on Japanese TV, running for a whole year and always attracting a lot of attention.
It typically broadcasts in the early evening and is pretty tame in terms of content (don't expect blood in the fight scenes, for instance).
As such, viewers were surprised to see nudity in the very first episode last Sunday. Japanese TV drama shows on the established linear channels generally features no nudity, even for late-night shows, though there are sometimes bizarrely non-nude sex scenes.
The nude ...
Squid Game has inspired a brilliant Japanese porn parody, Squirt Game.
From the player and guard costumes to the publicity materials, there's no mistaking the source material for this release from adult video production company Das, here reinvented as Dasflix.
The female "contestants" in Squirt Game (code DASS00534) are played by Waka Misono, Mizuki Yayoi, Machi Ikuno, and Mitsuki Igarashi. Needless to say, the challenges the contestants face are far more intimate than in the original Netflix series.
Squid Game (known in Japan as Ika Game, using the Japanese word for "squid") is ...
The trial of former House of Representatives member Tamotsu Shiiki got underway at Tokyo District Court on December 24. He is standing trial for sexual assault of a junior high school first grader in August last year, having picked the runaway up in Kabukicho -- one of many such so-called Toyoko kids in the Shinjuku district -- and taken her to a nearby karaoke place knowing that she was underage.
At the karaoke parlor, the member of staff was concerned, because Shiiki and the 12-year-old girl did not seem to be a father and daughter. They asked for a name and phone number, and Shiiki gave a ...
When you're languishing behind bars, there's probably a lot of things you miss from your life on the outside. Nice good and booze, for a start. Sex and intimacy too.
No doubt you'd find yourself thinking a lot about hot girls. Without a phone or access to the internet, you're probably starved of stimulation in this regard, but perhaps the occasional magazine or newspaper might provide glimpses of attractive models to give your fantasies food for thought.
And how about a letter from a gravure idol?
Chihiro Midorikawa is a 31-year-old gradol who won the Miss Tokyo Sports Grand Prize in ...
Comiket was held on December 29 and December 30 in Tokyo, and attracted 300,000 attendees -- the most since the COVID pandemic.
It's a welcome sign that Comic Market is back in rude health after the grassroots cosplay and doujin event seemed to be on the decline both in terms of attendance and demographic, with fears that participants were aging and becoming increasingly male.
Initial analysis of this edition's numbers suggests that half of attendees were in their twenties.
It certainly is a male-centric event, though, and booths like Neowiz's do little to dispel this reputation.
The ...
It's almost the New Year holidays here in Japan, a time when everyone gathers with their family, eats nice food, and watches a lot of bad TV.
Likely to feature on one or more of those shows was former SMAP singer Masahiro Nakai, among the most famous male celebrities in the country but whose career is now in jeopardy after a scandal and serious allegations emerged this week.
In a scoop broken by the tabloid Bunshun, the 52-year-old is accused of paying a massive fee of ¥90 million to a woman as compensation, after a possible sexual assault in June 2023.
Nakai was in a relationship for ...
