Police in Tokyo have arrested a 40-year-old man for employing a 17-year-old high school student.
Takeshi Shikano runs a sex industry business in Ikebukuro. He has been arrested on suspicion of violating the child welfare law for employing the high schooler and either making her or allowing her to engage in sex work.
Media reports about the arrest do not specify what kind of sex work, which took place in a rented room in the neighborhood in November last year. The police, though, termed it JK rifure -- or high female high school student reflexology -- service, where cuddles and so on are ...
Police crack down on Akihabara reflexology parlors over prostitution allegations

A few years ago, various shops began to appear in places like Akihabara offering services like hugs, ear-cleaning, "snuggling," massages, and "reflexology." However, like how massage parlors may provide more than just a massage, some of the "cuddle cafe" (soine-ten) establishments merely used these services as fronts for forms of prostitution. A police crackdown ensued and we actually thought there were very few, if any, left.
It seems that such places are still around and up to their old tricks, operating under the guise of rifure-ten (reflexology shops).

The joy of sleeping with a beautiful partner -- and we mean the sleeping part -- is something many of us don't get to experience on a regular enough basis.
In fact, it's such an unattainable dream for some that there are even digital alternatives to make up for what reality cannot provide.
But what about the ladies? Do they get to enjoy the wonders of sleeping next to a hot guy enough in their busy lives?
It seems the answer is no, since there is a job called a soine-shi -- a professional snuggler.
One such ikemen "hunk" version of this little-known trade is Kaede Ichijo, ...
Soineya Shinjuku, where you can sleep on a girl’s ass… Ikebukuro branch coming soon!

Remember how we blogged about Soineya in Akihabara in 2012? It's the "bed-sharing" facility where you can get to snuggle up with a cute girl for some shut-eye... charged by the hour.
About this time last year Soineya opened its second store in Shinjuku's Kabukicho and caused a stir with its new service: Oshiri-makura, ass pillow.
As you know, we like Japanese girls' asses.
It's still there in Shinjuku, though the "menu" of girls hasn't been updated in over a year. We couldn't resist blogging again about this truly awesome service. This is what you will look like...

Remember how last year we blogged about Soine-ya, the awesome bed-sharing place in Akihabara?
It's a kind of logical mix of enjo kosai (compensated dating) and maid cafes, allowing you to snuggle up and "sleep" (but nothing more) with cute young girls.
They have now opened a new second place in Shinjuku and also offer a new service!
Now you can doze on a lady's butt for the pricey sum of ¥1,000 per minute. That's something like $11 for 60 seconds!
Not sure how much shut-eye I could get knowing my wallet was being emptied in such a way, but I guess it's more the feeling ...
Ever wanted to sleep beside a cute girl? Who hasn't, right?!
A new shop, Soine-ya ("bed-sharing"), has just opened in Akihabara that lets you sleep next to a woman for those times when you want to feel the warmth of female flesh beside you.
It costs ¥3,000 for twenty minutes, or ¥6,000 for one hour. You can also pay for the pleasure of sleeping or resting on a girl's lap, which costs ¥1,000 for three minutes.
Apparently customers are similar to the patrons you find in maid cafes and some are prepared to spend ten of thousands of yen.
The shop claims to be the first such in ...
