With all the negative news about hosts right now (especially related to the way that the clubs leave clients in debt and some even force vulnerable women into prostitution), the industry needs some good news. But this might still be bad news for the flamboyant guys.
How come? Because it seems that some of the most popular hosts right now are actually women.
No, they're not hostesses. They're women dressed up as hosts.
According to an article in Weekly Gendai, Nia Amatsuka (天使ニア) is leading the trend.
As a woman (and as a lesbian), she understands her female clients better -- and ...
A 43-year-old man has been arrested at a hot spring facility in the Mie city of Kuwana for entering the women-only bathing area.
The man, who is described in media reports as unemployed, is from Kasugai in Aichi.
According to police, the man is suspected of sneaking into the women's baths at around 8:30 pm on November 13.
A female customer alerted a member of staff, who confirmed that a man was washing himself in the female bathing area, and then called the cops.
However, the story then becomes complicated because the man told police: "I'm a woman inside, so I can't understand at all ...
When Anri Sakaguchi announced her marriage to a transgender man in June, it felt like just the latest chapter in the saga of a troubled celebrity, which had already encompassed arrests, a stint in porn, and time spent working as a hostess, stripper, and call girl.
Well, that sudden announcement that attracted a lot of attention quite quickly (in part because of Sakaguchi's previous notoriety, because she still enjoys a reasonable following, and because her husband is transgender) seemed troubled early on as Sakaguchi took to social media to vent her frustration about her new life ...
Things about gender are not always clearcut in Japan.
Some of the guys can spend as much time and money on their skincare and hair as the ladies. Styles of haircuts and clothing too are not always divided down the conventional male-female divide, from the male kimono to the elaborate styling of nightclub hosts. And that's before we even get into the deep and rich world of crossdressing and transgender.
While we will leave the cultural theory implications about this to the armchair philosophers among our readers, we were delighted to come across this story about the apparent new hit in the ...
Here's that rare thing: a happy ending.
Anri Sakaguchi was initially famous for, well, being famous. She was the daughter of an actress, and gained some celebrity at an early age, joining the entertainment world in the late 2000s.
But financial debts forced her into porn, and she debuted in 2016 for Muteki, and went on to star in several AV titles (going by the name Anri). She also did at least one nude photo shoot during this time.
After retiring from porn, Sakaguchi (whose real name is Mizue Nozawa) ran into some trouble with the law, being arrested twice: once for attempting to exhort ...
Evidence at last that the future is doomed. We are set to be surrounded by avatars, augmented reality companions, and "enhanced" partners. Nothing we will see or touch -- or even fuck -- will be what it actually is.
Are we exaggerating? Perhaps.
But then look at what FaceApp can do! The app was recently used to transform nine male Japanese reporters into cute Japanese women.
Before you start fapping at these cuties, be sure to check the originals!
Of course, FaceApp has been around for a few years and YouTube is full of deep fake videos. But this is some of the most compelling evidence we ...
2021 has got off to a striking start in the Japanese adult toys world with the release of the Otokonoko DX Male Crossdresser Onahole, an anime trap male daughter torso masturbator.
Inspired by Japanese otoko no ko "male daughter" crossdressers (pre-op transgender women), who are often so convincing in anime and manga that they are often mistaken for "real" girls, the hefty toy is essentially an anal hole and cock dildo in one -- thus answering all your shotacon and trap fantasies in one. The awesome idol box art character is by maruku, who is known for his illustrations for the bestselling ...
At this time of year, Japanese adult makers and brands like to release "lucky boxes" and similar bundles containing random packs of toys.
This is in imitation of the more general Japanese retail custom of fukubukuro, or lucky bags.
It means you can get some really good deals, as long as you don't mind not knowing the exact items you will get (although this is also fun and exciting -- restoring the mystery of Christmas before people started to make distributing gift lists).
We have been looking at a few examples this year and the Tama Toys Otoko no Ko Crossdresser Costumes Lucky Box caught ...
The transgender community does not get much mainstream attention in Japan as elsewhere, perhaps with the exception of Matsuko Deluxe, and the major debates over pronouns and gender definitions have not dominated public discourse in the same way as they have in other countries.
Nonetheless, transgender sexuality has a long and vibrant history in Japanese culture, and the rights and needs of trans people need to be heard.
Whether out of genuine agreement with this sentiment or out of woke cynicism that spotted a marketing opportunity, Pantene recently showcased the problems that transgender ...
When it comes to gender, Japan does things differently. That guy may well be a girl, and that girl may well be a guy. Androgyny is a firmly established aspect of beauty and fashion. Indeterminate gender is sexy and alluring.
Deception, the other hand, is just plain annoying.
Cosplayer Rei Dunois is known for a penchant for Evangelion and MCU, and for incredible character transformations. He has built up a significant fanbase -- to the tune of over 60,000 followers on social media.
We write "he" because we now know the truth, though you would be forgiven for misunderstanding if you saw ...
