We saw an interesting story first shared on Tokyo Reporter, which appeals to our sense of the fetishistic. Tokyo cops have busted a special parlor in Takadonobaba, near Shinjuku, where male customers could go to smell Japanese schoolgirls in private rooms. The manager, one Takanori Izuchi, was a mere 33 years old but he was boldly running the aptly-named Pure Doll JK Community near the JR Station on the Yamanote Line. It's not the smell fetish per se that's the issue here. Izuchi and another employee were arrested for hiring actual teenagers to let male patrons sniff them in their ...

Okay, we've very late with this -- a quick search reveals people were talking about this back in 2012! But for some reason we've only just found out about it and it's so cool, we wanted to blog it now, two years after everyone else. Sexual harassment is a serious issue in Japan -- especially in the workplace. The problem is so ingrained now some women have given up on finding a solution. But Etsuko Ichihara and Taiki Watai's attitudes towards sexual harassment is certainly novel, even if we're not sure if it makes it better or worse. They take that most phallic of Japanese root ...

It's that time of year again. Every year we snigger gleefully at the return of the "flip-a-skirt" calendar. The tribute to groping in paper form allows you to see the dates by literally lifting up the skirt of a cute girl! And the best thing is that it is a high school girl's skirt too! She even has cute knee-high socks on. And just to make the men feel better, note that the calendar is designed by a female designer (Kaori Kato) -- so it can't be sexist, right? Available in blue or gray, the concept and look of the 2015 calendar is much the same as in previous years. After ...

Otoko no Ko "male daughter" cross-dressing cosplay is really getting big in Tokyo now. The fetish subculture has its only monthly event in Shinjuku called Propaganda. There are shops, maid cafes and even special photobooks. Even more intriguingly, there are many Otoko no Ko cosplay adult toys too, mostly created by Tama Toys -- from anus smell sprays to manicure sets, panties, bras, garter, wigs and more! Well, now there is a way to check the time online with a Otoko no Ko flavor! Keen-eyed readers may see a connection here to the successful Bijin Tokei series of digital clock ...

Last summer photography Manabu Koga delighted us with his series of sexy photographs of slinky girls swimming underwater in various states of undress. Now he's back with a follow-up, Underwater Knee-High Girls plus, released this October. Sexy Japanese girls in knee-high socks, diving underwater. The concept is unchanged -- when it ain't broke, don't fix it! -- though this time the slender maidens having some incongruous props like umbrellas and raincoats, meccha gear, and even rabbit ears. The models include Shimarisu Mashima and ...

We consider ourselves aficionados of some of the weirder sections of the Japanese porn canon. And let's face it, there are some oddities out there. For example, in "World's Kinkiest Nude Library Challenge", an entry in the shuchi "shame" genre, a woman does crazy things while in a public library... totally naked, natch. "Elf" sees a man have sex with a fairy-like girl with pointy ears. "Daddy Quiz Daughter Sex" has a father tied up and forced to watch as his daughter is raped by men in masks if he gets questions wrong. We think the titles of "Human Farm Cow Girls Orgy" and "Tokyo ...

Some men in Japan like to give women a "present". By this we mean bukkake, of course -- squirting your juices all over their body, often their face. Sure, there are some guys who would go further. Give her a golden shower, perhaps. But this is a bit much. A 30-year-old man who works in a restaurant in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, has been arrested by police on suspicion of putting (his) vomit over random women on the streets. Toru Sugawara was arrested on August 13th, though he denies the charges. Between May and July there were four incidents in the area where women in their twenties and ...

Japanese men famously like to be mothered and pampered. This culture starts with the housewife mothers who have little to do but tend to their every needs, and then continues with their female underlings in the office, their girlfriends and later wives (homemakers, mostly), and then even with hostesses and call girls. But there are some guys who clearly don't want to be treated with kid gloves the whole time. Rather, they want to be shouted at! Regular readers to this blog will need no introduction to Risa Yoshiki, one of the most popular Gravure models in Japan and popular for her ...

Forget Cornelius, Noise and all that. It seems that Japan's reputation in the world of electronic dance consists of little more than the country that has both technology and horny people. To be fair, it is not wholly wrong. This is the nation of the Shiri robotic ass and the Yukirin AKB48 android. And clearly Basement Jaxx like this side of things since for their music for "Never Say Never ft. ETML" they featured it almost exclusively. Set in some distant future where dance has been banned or "72% people have stopped partaking" in dancing -- again, is this a reference to Japan? ...

Forget Fifty Shades, sado-masochism infiltrates all walks of life in Japan, it seems. Including anime cover hug pillows. Hug pillows (dakimakura) are of course the pillows designed to be "hugged" to help you through the night. Sometimes they are innocent enough (like comfort blankets) but often it's a euphemism for a type of sex doll, complete with slots for masturbator sleeves. And naturally, there are lots of cool covers to go on these hug dolls, especially moe ones of anime characters. But the this month saw a strange trend sweeping the Twittersphere in Japan. Turning your ...
