If you spot a man with scissors on a train, he may not be dangerous but he may be seeking out an unusual method for satisfying his fetish.
Especially if he is Masamitsu Ando.
Chiba police arrested Ando last Thursday for cutting the skirt of a junior high school student the previous day.
The schoolgirl was on a JR train very early in the morning from from Tateyama to Chiba when the 41-year-old company employee used scissors to cut her skirt when she was sleeping in the seat next to him.
Young girls should know better than to dozen on trains in Japan, given the danger of being ...
Caught in the act.
A smart lady has caught a man trying not too discreetly to snap a shot of her panties while sitting opposite her on the train.
She then put it on Twitter for the world to see.
If her tweets are to be believed, she would appear to be a high school student.
This kind of thing happens every day in Japan. There are lots of perverts on the trains, including so-called respected professionals.
It reminds us of this other incompetent snapper on a train, himself photographed being none too subtle about his under-the-skirt ...
We've just been chatting to our friends over at Kanojo Toys and they're super excited.
After years of only selling and promoting other people's products, now they've finally crossed over to the side. They've worked with an established Japanese adult toy maker to produce their own onahole!
The Chokyo Shojo Bondage Virgin Manami Sujiman Onahole is a fiendish simple but brilliant idea.
The kinkiness of shibari and Japanese bondage, combined with the taboo-busting rori motifs.
We were examining the prototypes and samples at their office and we can't wait to try it out properly when it gets ...
Japanese TV doesn't have a real watershed. Whatever the hour, you are unlikely to find any real content that couldn't be seen by families, except for the occasion HBO import.
But that doesn't mean the broadcasters don't push the boundaries of the risque.
That's what Idol no Ana does, and does so very well. Even down to its title -- "Idol's Hole" -- if we're being literal, and the program makers certainly are.
Because this Gravure idol survival show puts the young girls through their paces in a variety of humiliating physical tasks, including licking things, stroking things and ...
We all like a nice knob.
But some people like a knob more than others, especially the door knob.
While usually relegated to the purely functional task of opening or closing doors, knobs have other charms and two people have been exploring the girls who know this.
Photographer Ai Ehara and manga-ka/illustrator Ryuko Azuma started the Door Knob Girl project in order to gather images of young Japanese girls licking door knobs (and also, to be precise, door handles).
Yes, that's pretty much the gist of it.
It started in 2010 and in 2012 they released a photo book collecting some of ...
In desperate need of a smooch? No girl around for a good kiss when you want one?
Have this in your pocket for such situations!
Gashapon capsule toys are one of the most famous kinds of Japanese vending machines and come in all shapes and sizes. Saying that, they are usually something to do with an anime character.
But the new Smart Kiss series by Bandai, which went on sale at the vending machines in mid-October, is a bit different. It's a series of "lips," seven of them girls' and one modeled on a man's mouth.
The stickers are meant for your smartphone, though we're not ...
After it got big media attention last year, designer Kaori Kato's novel if creepy "flip-a-skirt" calendar has returned with a new edition for 2014.
We weren't sure what to make of it when we blogged about the skirt-lifting calendar last year. Now we have been thoroughly won over by its charms.
Like in 2013 you can lift up the skirt to reveal the calendar below. This year's version comes in two colors! You get the pleasure of lifting up a skirt for every month.
Plus there are memo pad-like skirts where you can attach a note to a girl's ...
Have you ever wanted to see a film about a talking vagina?
You can from December 7th in Japan.
Junan is based on a 1997 book by Kaoruko Himeno about a pure girl who becomes interested in sexuality and whose vagina then suddenly develops not only a personality -- but even a voice!
The lead is played by the lovely Mayuki Iwasa, who will be stripping off for the role, including a full nude scene. Mayuki is more known as an idol than a serious actress, though this odd movie will no doubt not do any harm to her reputation for being sexy.
This might be the strangest ...
What were we saying yesterday about the police?
Well, now they've turned their attention to someone who has been delighting Tokyo in recent months.
Twitter has been abuzz with images snapped of an old guy wandering the city dressed in sailor school uniform cosplay and very happy to pose for pictures.
He has companions who dress up with him!
He even went to France dressed like that.
The "seeraa fuku ojisan" (sailor school uniform old guy) is actually Hideaki Kobayashi, aged around 50.
His cult has grown to the extent that he's been interviewed by the ...
If you're a young girl in school in Japan, take a close look around you.
Are those boys in your class really boys? One of them might just be a much older guy in disguise!
That is, if the recent case in Kumamoto is anything to go by. A 33-year-old man in Kumamoto City on the southern island of Kyushu had a fetish for schoolgirls' uniforms and just had to get his hands on some. His target was a private high school in the city.
Contract employee Akira Katayama was arrested on Sunday for theft, though you've got to admire his stealth and bravado. He put on a male uniform for the school ...
