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 ...
Dating websites and apps were big before but are even bigger now, no doubt influenced by the pandemic that made it harder to do the usual things like go to nightclubs, konpa group dates, or even your school campus to hook up with someone.
There are many such apps on the Japanese market: Tapple, with, Dine, Pairs, Omiai, and more.
We're not sure if it's the local market leader based on current user numbers, but Tinder must be the most famous because of its overseas prevalence and the money it spends on advertising (even recruiting Kiko Mizuhara to front its campaign).
Its just gave a big ...
The latest survey about sex and romance in Japan to grab the headlines claims that 40% of single men in their twenties have never been on a date.
The results of the government survey also suggest that this problem isn't just men either. About 25% of young single women too also said they had never had a date with another person.
The numbers get a bit complicated, because 5% of married men and women in their twenties also said they had never been on a date, though this may mean they met their partner through a spouse introduction service and don't count their pre-marital meetings as "dates." ...
The growing problem of syphilis in Japan is not new: we've been writing about it for years now. But it simples that it won't get better any time soon. Just when you think cases can't rise anymore or that the coronavirus pandemic would at least slow its relentless spread, along comes the latest batch of statistics to prove you wrong.
We are only a quarter of the way through the year but number of cases of syphilis in Japan is already up yet again, reports the Mainichi.
Compared to the same period last year -- whose overall figure reached a record high -- the number of syphilis cases has ...
Japan's National Institute of Infectious Diseases announced the grim news on December 14 that cases of syphilis were at a historic high in the country.
This year's number of reported syphilis cases hit 7,134 from January to December 5. The number is the highest since measurements began.
Syphilis is increasing nationwide, though Tokyo, Osaka, and surrounding areas saw a particular surge in reported cases: Tokyo led the pack with 2,226 cases, followed by Osaka with 761 and Aichi with 379. In terms of per-population rates, though, the rural prefectures of Kochi, Okayama, and Miyazaki had the ...
Given the mosaic (pixelization) in Japanese porn and the extent of censorship in mainstream movies, it can be hard to forget about what you can't see: pubic hair.
But that is one of the things so shocking about "hair nude" full-frontal shoots, especially the older ones in the 1980s and 1990s: not only is the celebrity laid bare in all her feminine glory, you also see how hairy she is downstairs. (Case in point, the stunning, yet shaggy, Saki Takaoka.)
Japanese women are often fastidious about shaving, from their arms and legs to their armpits and faces. But by contrast, they have ...
As one of the most popular adult video stars in Japan and the originator of a whole line of adult toys, Eimi Fukada is a woman who knows about sex.
And she's also a generous soul who wants to share her insights with the general public.
She is also one of the most active JAV stars on YouTube and recently released a new video titled (roughly) "Intercourse to Get Your Partner Hooked on You."
Yes, in the eight-minute video, Eimi -- dressed more like a sophisticated office lady you may spot shopping in Daikanyama than a porn star -- gives us the lowdown on how to make a female partner really ...
In a series of brief yet enlightening street interviews, actual Japanese girls reveal their answers to the personal questions we all want to ask.
How often do Japanese girls want to have sex?
What are the signs that a Japanese girl wants to have sex with you?
How much do you Japanese like having sex?
How many dates do Japanese girls want to go on before having sex?
How long do Japanese girls expect their male partners to last in bed?
And what do Japanese girls think about having sex for the first time with a partner?
So much for sexless Japanese!
The interviews were ...
Every time the Olympics are held, the Olympic Village becomes infamous as a place for athletes to hook up. This year, as previously reported, such fraternizing is being discouraged and the distributed condoms are officially recommended as mementos for athletes to take home rather than use during the Games.
Not so for the tens of thousands of other people coming to Tokyo as part of the entourages.
And as Farrah Akase found, many of them are already in the city and actively going online on Bumble to find locals to hook up with. (Presumably Tinder and other apps are similar.)
Farrah ...
In late April, the internet went a bit crazy with this story of a 39-year-old Japanese man who was arrested and charged with defrauding 35 Japanese women in Osaka.
The duped women all thought they were his girlfriend. The man, Takashi Miyagawa, had told them different dates for his birthday so he could get as many gifts of meals, money, and clothing as possible. The fraud, though, seems only to have added up to ¥100,000 (about $1,000).
The handsome Miyagawa apparently met his victims through his work as a salesman for water purifiers and shower heads.
What's most intriguing here -- and ...
