The life of a female idol isn't all it's cracked up to be. You don't get wealth or riches unless your agency deems you worth a higher salary. You don't get drugs -- they're strictly taboo in the Japanese entertainment industry, at least on paper. And you don't even get sex, since your agency tries to control who you sleep with. You also have to deal with crazy fans. Remember the saw attack on two members of AKB48? One idol even had her social media account hacked so that it started spewing out dirty content. Well, there are also stalkers, as mother-of-dragons Mitsu ...

We've long blogged about the fake profiles on deai-kei (encounter) sites. The police have been cracking down on them in recent years, as we reported before. We heard about this story about a pretty shocking and egregious recent example. Chiba police have arrested eight people of a deai-kei site company on suspicion of hiring male employees to pose as women on the site and extort male users of their money. The scam sites apparently had a total of 2.7 million members — and all but one of them were men! The sites employed male part-time workers to chat with the members, who ...

Police are cracking down on "obscene" video sites. Asiajin reports that at the end of April, Kyoto and other police forces arrested the president of Home Page System, which is meant to be a PR company acting for Japanese web service FC2.

FC2 is well known by claiming to be an American company based in Las Vegas, therefore the contents are not restricted by Japanese law. The Las Vegas address is a rental address and it has been suspected years that the Home Page System is the ...

Three members of a Nippon Kempo martial arts club at Osaka University of Commerce have been arrested for inflicting violence and threats on other students. College clubs and sports groups can be tough places, with lots of drinking and entrance rituals. But this club went too far, it seems. Osaka University of Commerce, located in Higashi-Osaka City, is not a college with a particularly high academic reputation but its Nippon Kempo club is one of the best in the country. Clearly this success comes at a price. A male student aged 19, now a sophomore but then a freshman, had his face ...

Art imitates life, as the aphorism goes, but life also imitates art. Visitors to Japan are sometimes disappointed that the country doesn't live up to the stereotypes: Where are the geisha? Where are the robots? Where are the hordes of anime girls? Where are all the molesters on the trains? Wait, what? Yes, some people are actually expecting to see this. Japan may be paying the price for being the empire of porn. Its overseas reputation is not quite as "cool" as the government might like. Instead, foreigners are seemingly coming to Japan expecting the nation to be like they have ...

We all like to compare numbers, especially when it comes to the number of people you've slept with. But we accept defeat when it comes to Yuhei Takashima, who has apparently admitted to sex with over 12,000 women. That's not a typo: more than twelve thousand! The former Yokohama school principal was not just into the sex itself. He also catalogued his incredible feat. Over 27 years he allegedly archived almost 150,000 photographs of his sexual exploits with prostitutes in 400 neatly filed red albums. Takashima is aged 64 but his "career" goes back to 1988 when he went to work at a ...
