Tosasatu "secret filming" is a constant threat for women in Japan (and in South Korea, especially toilets). Every practitioner wants that holy panchira up-skirt shot! Escalators and stairs are popular places to try this, presuming you have prepared your equipment right (cameras hidden in bags are a typical example of the more elaborate set-up). This is why you may see some young women holding bags against the backs of their legs as they ascend floors in order to flatten their skirts and hide their underwear from voyeurs. Inevitably, schoolgirls are a target for upskirting. After all, not ...

If you live in Tokyo, you've probably seen ads on the trains for Musee, especially on the JR Yamanote Line. This is a hair removal salon that offers expert grooming services for women. If you want really smooth legs, armpits, and other areas, then head to Musee for the pain-free and easy way of achieving this. Or so the advertising suggests. A Japanese high school student has helped promote Musee in a way that its marketing department might not approve of but nonetheless can't really repudiate: by posting nude selfies of her fully shaved paipan body after visiting Musee for a full ...

If you like Japanese schoolgirl porn -- that is Japanese adult video with a schoolgirl theme, though performers will be above legal age -- then you may well know that Japanese porn titles often use euphemisms to describe this subgenre. The Japanese word "joshi kosei" means "high school girl" but by writing the third with a different kanji (女子校生, rather than 女子高生), it was possible to hide the "high" part and just make it look like female students without a specific age -- even more useful if you also wanted to hint that the students are younger than high school age. The ...

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say. Late last year there was some controversy about a Japanese schoolgirl YouTuber who offered "free oppai" breast gropes to men in Shibuya. Well, another Japanese schoolgirl went and did the same thing. A 16-year-old schoolgirl wearing a bunny girl costume and carrying a sketchbook that said "Free Oppai" invited passersby in Hachiko in Shibuya to touch her breasts. This time, though, it's more serious, and police are cracking down in order to set an example. The anonymous schoolgirl's case was sent to the prosecutors on March ...

We all know free hugs. But what about free oppai? A Japanese female YouTuber, Pepsi Lu, was offering lucky men in Hachiko at Shibuya Station that chance to grope her breasts in public. She kept her clothes on, but naturally this caused quite a fuss after some 60 people -- including women and foreigners (we love how the Japanese press feels the need to mention this point) -- copped a feel of her bust. Sadly the videos are no longer online (apparently deleted for breaching some rule) but, while there's been no Weinstein-esque fallout in Japan, it's nonetheless causing plenty of ...

Imagine you are riding the train home. You feel a little sleepy. Perhaps you drop off. This is common in Japan. Public transport is full of dozing passengers, young and old. You feel safe. But what you don't expect is for an old man next to you to unzip himself, reach into his groin, pluck or otherwise extract a pubic hair or two, and then casually flick his "gift" onto your head. It sounds too disgusting to be true, but sadly this is what happened. After performing his deed on the unsuspecting junior high school girl beside him, the man tried to pretend he was merely adjusting ...

"Teenage girls luring men into dens of sleaze warned by police." It sounds like a headline on a parody news website. The men are lured into dens of sleaze by teenage girls. Oh, so the men are the victims? But it's not. It's an article in the Asahi Shimbun and just the latest entry in a media frenzy about the JK business ("high-school girl business") as the police continue their crackdown on what is often a thin cover for underage prostitution. Twenty teenage girls suspected of working in the sleazy "JK business" were given a slap on the wrist by police in a series of street ...

To, er, celebrate International Women's Day, Al Jazeera ran this long and detailed story about sexual assault in Japan, claiming "every girl was a victim" but now more schoolgirls are speaking out about groping on public transportation. Tamaka Ogawa was about 10 years old when she was sexually assaulted for the first time. It was a public holiday and she was on the subway. A man standing behind her pulled down the band of her culottes and underwear, touched her bare bottom, then pressed himself against her. She recalls feeling shocked and physically sickened. When she reached home, she ...

A journalist working on a BBC Three documentary about child sexual exploitation was held in police custody. The 29-year-old Stacey Dooley was held by police in Tokyo for two hours during the making of her documentary, Young Sex For Sale In Japan. "It [the doc] focuses on the fact they only made it illegal to possess child pornography in 2014," said Dooley. "We set out to try and understand why it took a privileged country, like Japan, so long to come to this conclusion. Also to see if the change in their law had made any real difference on the ground." Dooley and her team were ...
