Lucky bags (fukubukuro) are staples of Japanese retail during the New Year period. You get a grab bag not aware of its exact contents, but knowing it contains a set of stuff from a certain brand or series with a total value usually more -- sometimes much, much more -- than what it is being sold for.
Pretty much all levels of retail -- from luxury department stores to humble neighborhood shops -- offer lucky bags, and the adult industry is no exception.
Individual brands (particularly Tama Toys) put together value packs each December, as do certain retailers. They are great ways to get your ...

You should use the coupon Cyber21 to claim your ...
In previous years, we would enjoy the Halloween season for all the stories it would bring from the Shibuya cosplay street party, where thousands of young people dressed up in revealing costumes and had fun. The pandemic has ended that, though the authorities were already cracking down even before due to some minor unrest in 2018 involving an overturned truck.
So, how to console ourselves? Well, with some costumes of course. But also staying home, alone or with a partner, and having fun with Japanese adult toys.
Don't get scary this year. Get sexy.
Even better, our friends at Kanojo Toys -- ...
Regular readers may recall the incredible Kabe Jiri masturbator toy that we wrote about 2016. The toy recreates the experience of fucking a girl from behind while up against a wall -- a common trope in Japanese porn and hentai.
Now makers Magic Eyes have returned with a follow-up, Kabe-Jiri 2 Real Mimizu-senbiki Vagina Masturbator, though it's actually quite different. It has only one hole -- the vagina -- and doesn't feature prominent buttocks per se. We think it's easier to think of it as a separate toy entirely, rather than a sequel. But that's fine, because it's frankly awesome.
This is ...
Our friends at Kanojo Toys, the top one-stop destination for all things adult about Japan, tell us that they are having a sale to mark the end of summer.
It's still hot and humid here in Tokyo, especially when you are in our line of work, but the weather will change once we enter September and start entering the milder autumn season.
So, let's make the most of what the final weeks of summer offer -- pandemic notwithstanding.
You can get 15% off any adult toy available on Kanojo Toys, from onaholes and masturbators to lubes, smell sprays, dakimakura pillow covers, dolls, used panties, JAV ...
There are several ways to tell that you have "made it" as a porn star in Japan.
Probably the first and most obvious is when you are cast as a tantai joyu (単体女優) -- an actor who carries a whole release by herself and is given a lead credit (as opposed to the thousands of performers who are uncredited). Only this kind of role ultimately pays enough to make porn a full-time career.
Another is perhaps when you release a photo book or get offers to do various fan events.
But a really big sign is when you get your first spin-off adult toy.
Sendai native Ichika Matsumoto debuted in 2019 ...
It's been a long and hard journey, but the Olympics are finally opening in Tokyo today.
If you're an athlete, you will have to put up with "anti-sex" beds (not actually true!) and exhortations not to screw fellow athletes in the Olympic Village (OK, this one is sadly true). If you're one of the tens of thousands of hangers-on, you are nominally stuck in a bubble around the venues, though we have already seen plenty of people wandering around (and many more online, looking to hook up with Japanese girls easily impressed by their Olympic credentials).
We will be participating in our own ...
For a while, it seemed that see-through onaholes were all the rage. Not a week went by without a new "crystal" or "clear" toy coming out. We particularly liked it when these were combined with a "hard" (i.e., tight) style.
But we haven't seen a large masturbator in this kind of design for a while (if at all).
And so we were naturally delighted to encounter the new Puni Ana Suke Suke DX Onahole, which is available from our friends at Japanese adult toys store Kanojo Toys.
As you might well expect, you get two meandering and realistic holes here, insuring there is something whether you are a ...
Forget the Fantastic Beasts series. Our favorite supernatural franchise of late is the Amazing Beasts series of sex toys.
The Amazing Beasts series is a lineup of dildos inspired by animals and creature characters. If you want to be fucked or to fuck a partner with what looks like a monster's cock, then this is the series for you.
And we just spotted one of the recent entries that is now available for international delivery.
Made by Daimaoh, a Japanese adult retailer that occasionally ventures into creating its own toys, usually with outlandish results (a dolphin sex doll, anyone?), this ...
The "cloned" onahole is a staple of the Japanese adult sex toy market: masturbators produced based on a particular woman's vagina and vulva.
Some are more realistic (and expensive) than others. The best are designed with molds or 3D models taken directly from the women's body.
Of course, these women are usually porn stars, and releasing your own clone toy through a brand like Nippori Gift is a sign that you have established a certain status in the industry.
Over the years, we have seen and used countless numbers of such onaholes. But we think this is the first time we have seen one like ...
