A recent study suggests that one of the top professions young Japanese ladies are going for these days have nothing to do with an office and everything to do with using their feminine charms to get into mens' wallets.
According to News-Post Seven a study was taken back in 2007 and found that many lower class ladies strove to become kyabukura (hostess club) girls due to the lack of prerequisites to enter the job and the great steady salary. When the study was redone recently, they found that this trend has spread to young girls all over Japan. Some even as young as elementary school ...

Is this everyone's dreams come true?
Rina Nakanishi (中西里菜) used to be one of the minor members of idol group sensation AKB48 but has since left the world of idols for far more rewarding work in...porn!
The 22-year-old has taken on a new stage name, Riko (or Rico) Yamaguchi, as part of her new career.
She has also released a nude photo book called, appropriately enough, Departure. However, this gained the furore of her former employers at AKB48, who, though make the idols dress very skimpily, oppose actual nudity. They are now suing Nakanishi!
This reminds us of the ...
Last week two girls were arrested in Shinjuku's notorious Kabukicho sex district for credit card theft. The pair of femme fatales stole the card from the dead body of a man they had been cavorting with in a threesome.
Naturally these ladies are suspected of being ladies of the night, not least because they are Chinese! The dead gentleman was a 46 year-old who had been picked up on the street by the 46 and 35 year-old ladies, and together made their way to a nearby love hotel.

However, somehow he ended up dead and they took his credit card, withdrawing over five ...
Ever heard of Steve Osada?
If you're not a regular on the traditional Japanese bondage scene, you may not have, but within the shibari houses of Tokyo's seedy Kabukicho district, he's The Man.
Shibari, also known as kinbaku, is the Japanese art of erotic bondage, differentiated from Western bondage by its focus on ties that actively pleasure the bottom, as well as its minimalist, often asymmetric, aesthetic. While not the only culture to enjoy tying their lovers up, the Japanese may be more open about it than most.

Tokyo's red light district of Kabukicho is renowned as being the hub of sin and vice in heart of Shinjuku. It's not the only area of course, but it does have a very large concentration of host and hostess clubs, bars, restaurants, soaplands (brothels), and lots of fun-loving crowds of men and women out for a good time.
Setting foot in this area can be intimidating for foreign visitors. Aside from the fact that foreigners are subtly prohibited from entering the more fun places, the types of folks in Kabukicho are very different from what you'll find in Ginza, Shibuya, and other ...
