We love Japanese sex dolls. They are brilliantly made, always inventive, and have spawned all sorts of interesting social phenomena such as sex doll magazines, sex doll rental services, and more.
But this might be going a bit far.
Can a sex doll be a music idol?
Well, they can't sing -- not even lip-synch -- but that per se doesn't stop many other idols. But an important part of idol subculture is that the idol has a personality that can connect with fans. At a stretch, we can see this. But then how about the "handshaking" meet-and-greet events that have become such a large ...
Our cutie this week is Sayaka Ohnuki (大貫彩香).
The gymnastic sexpot was born in 1992... But other than that, Sayaka is one of those Gravure idols who has released many DVDs and appeared in countless photo shoots, but which almost nothing is known about her.
Still, that being said, we like what we ...
Our luscious lady this week is the very curvy Manami Hashimoto (橋本マナミ), a "real woman" that you would love to be in your home cooking your meals for you and ever-ready to grace your bed with her body.
Born in 1984, Manami is a Gravure model and occasional actress. While we can't vouch for her thespian skills we can certainly say that her voluptuous frame is ...
Our lovely girl this week is the star of the moment, gravure model Miwako Kakei (筧美和子).
Miwako has a huge pair of breasts (the only issue here is what they look like when she gets older) and these have helped her burst into the limelight.
Born in 1994, she released her first photo book last year and, having only just turned 20, looks set to continue to ride the gravure idol career wagon for many years to ...
Our luscious lady this week is the young Mariya Nagao (永尾まりや). Born in 1994 in Kanagawa Prefecture, the twenty-year-old idol is a member of AKB48's K Team. I know, we are breaking our own rule of "no AKB idols are truly hot" but, hey, you live and learn.
Given her lowly rank in the AKB universe, Mariya isn't going to be hitting the big time for a while, but that doesn't stop her cute charms from working magic on our hearts... and other areas of the ...
With the girls ever younger and the pressure to appear wrinkle-free and with the softest of skin that can stand up to iPad zooms, how do once popular Gravure models maintain a career after they hit 30?
Mayumi Ono (小野真弓) was never a mega star in the idol world. Her D-cup and girl-next-door made her look like a sexy TV presenter. She had fans but not legions of them.
We liked her before and treated ourselves to a selection of images for an Idol of the Week a couple of years ago.
So now she's 31, how can she give her thirteen-year career a second boost now that it has started to ...
Our lady this week is the charming Yua Shinkawa (新川優愛), an actress and fashion model.
Born in 1993, Yua has a slinky body with the face of a girl you just might meet in a bar in Shibuya or Roppongi.
She was discovered while still a teenager and has been posing in lovely bikinis since a practically illegal age.
We expect great things from this young girl. Just don't let her loose on the streets of Tokyo any time soon. She won't last a ...
Japan spends 1% of its national budget on its army. Sorry, it's not an army, it's a "self-defense force." However, Japan's security treaty with America is supposed to guarantee US protection if attacked -- the ostensible reason for the tens of thousands of US soldiers based in Japan -- so the SDF is kind of pointless.
It mainly gets used for when there are earthquakes and other emergencies. Saying that, Japan spends more on its SDF than, say, the UK does on its armed forces -- even though the latter's are active around the whole world.
Where does the money go? Equipment. The SDF has some ...
Born in 1989, Sayumi Michichige (道重さゆみ) is one of the most popular members of J-Pop band Morning Musume. She has been part of the ever-changing ranks of the girl group since 2003, even though her singing is frankly nothing special.
Where Sayumi does excel at is looking alluring while still maintaining a Girl-Next-Door innocence.
She is the longest-serving member of Morning Musume. Most of the girls have trouble creating a real solo career after they leave, so let's enjoy Sayumi's fame while it lasts -- and the countless excuses for bikini-clad photo shoots it ...
We like slightly larger girls. Girls with a little bit of curve to them. The recent naked butt of Ayaka Sayama was enough to get our blood racing.
A new Japanese idol group called Chubbiness showcases girls who are, not surprisingly, a little larger. The ten ladies will be making their professional debut in March.
What do you think? Will these idols be a hit?
There has been a bit of a surge in interest in large ladies of late, including popular comediennes and even a fashion magazine devoted to pocchari women.
While Chubbiness are a little too, well, chubby for our ...
