Idol Sayaka Yoshino (29), after being outed by a tabloid media, has finally confirmed on her official blog that she is married. While this is news sad enough in itself, then comes two bits of intriguing details. She was married in September 2010 but did not say so until now, apparently out of deference to the March 11th, 2011 earthquake (WTF? How is that relevant?), but more likely in order to protect her reputation as a desirable gal that men would still in theory be able to bang if they fantasize hard enough! The other juice titbit is that her new(ish) hubby is ...

Ayumi Hamasaki surprised the entertainment just over a year ago by announcing her sudden marriage to an Austrian model and actor who had starred in one of her music videos. Hamasaki's sales have ailed in recent years and we speculated that perhaps she might retire and start a family. The latest twist is that Ayumi and Manuel Schwarz are already divorced! Less than a year is not a great length for any marriage, to be sure, but Ayumi officially blames the March 11th earthquake, which forced her to stay in Japan and remain close to her beloved fans. Rather than move to America with ...

You join a website specializing in getting Japanese women. It's available in English, French, Korean and various others languages. You meet a girl, tell her you are a doctor, and impress her with your Japanese skills. Hey presto, the girl's yours. Well, Fumiko married Anthony Simoneau, a former dental technician in the Navy, who she met through online dating. Things didn't go so well for them in America and Anthony filed for divorce in 2002. He retracted the papers, though, just when Fumiko coincidentally had received a large inheritance and suddenly Anthony started buying cars and ...

A new survey by the folks over at Time Out Tokyo has provided us an interesting snapshot of sexual habits in the nation's capital in 2011. Responding to a request from May 23rd, over 800 people eventually completed the survey, painting an illuminating picture of the sex lives of present-day Tokyoites. With male respondents accounting for 61% of the total, females taking 39%, the survey delved into such issues as how long you would need to know somebody before having sex (answers running from mere hours to several years), who should initiate a pickup (seems the ball is in your ...

In a quick private Las Vegas ceremony at A Little White Chapel on January 1st, Ayumi Hamasaki married a foreigner. That is to say she married Manuel Schwartz, an Austrian actor who has been living in Los Angeles. Yahoo Daily News also reports that the two met during the filming of Hamasaki's new wedding anthem "Virgin Road".Ironically enough, he plays her husband in the video. Here's a short clip as AVEX has blocked the full video from appearing on Youtube. This is quite big news in Japan as, generally speaking, Japanese celebrities almost never marry foreigners. We'll have to ...

When I went and took a look at what they had to offer, I wasn't sure what I'd find, and I have to say I was surprised. Everything on their site is original content that can only be found at IRJ. As you may have guessed from the new site's title, IRJ is all about foreign guys giving it to Japanese girls. I was also surprised to find that in some of the videos, Japan Bondage's very own Osada Steve makes an appearance and uses his master bondage skills on the ladies while the other foreigners take care of their animal needs. Osada-sensei even joins in the fun from time to time and ...

A favorite of this blog, Erika Sawajiri's latest publicity stunt is a photo session featuring the hattoushin bijin semi-nude... and with a foreign man, no less! And he she is in an interracial threesome! Personally I think at least one of the guys looks Japanese but the news is all saying it's a gaijin (foreigner). Either way, is Erika the most over-rated idol in Japan or ...

All right, I might be a J-Girl but I happen to like international guys. I've dated my fair share of boys white and black, and so of course I read the manga My Darling is a Foreigner (ダーリン は 外国人). More than your usual manga this is like a column -- there's no story, just anecdotes about how the strange-ness of Tony, the partner of the author. It first came out in 2002 and since then has spawned a fair few sequels, TV ad tie-ins and so on. The real couple, Tony Lazlo and Saori Ogura, now have a baby too -- so this is one kokusai kekkon ("international marriage") that ...

One of our favorite idols, the young and, oh, so cute Maki Horikita, is in a new movie. It's called Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac in English but the original title is "Someone kissed me" (誰かが私にキッスした) . . . and we are very, very keen to be that "someone"! The movie also seems to have some white guy (Anton Yelchin) in it and we hope this exposure to foreign flesh makes Maki inclined to investigate international kissing! Thanks to the good folks at f.hatena.ne.jp for the ...

Note from Taro: I've met RedpoleQ and other crew members of PickupAsia before, and can attest to their skills. We spent an afternoon in Shibuya testing out the "day game" techniques with very surprising results. I never would have thought that J-girls would respond like that, but they did... and I was happy Ever see a guy walk into a Seoul nightclub or a Shibuya bar, and make out with a stunning girl ten minutes later? If he doesn't look like Tom Cruise, there's a good chance that he's studied with PickUp Asia, the masters of the Asian pick-up scene. Nampa. Speed seduction. ...
