While we tend to concern ourselves chiefly on these digital pages with the goings-on of the Japanese female, we are not blind to the charms and amusements of her male counterpart.
Indeed, we take delight in a real gem like this.
Recently discovered and shared in a series of photos on Twitter by Joshua Hunt, the now-defunct street fashion magazine Relax did a spread on "men who love their underwear" inside an issue in 1997.
The article title translates roughly as: "Street Corner Underwear Attack in Harajuku: Guys So Proud of Their Underwear That They Can Show People."
Ah, the cheeky 1990s. ...
The end-of-year period in Japan is a bit like Christmas in Europe and North America. Everyone has time off work and spends it with their family doing various traditional things like eating certain dishes or watching terrible TV shows.
In the prefecture of Kochi, though, some people instead chose to have sex in public parks.
At least, this couple did, since they were flagrantly filmed by a passerby and eventually had to be stopped by the party-pooping local police.
Photos of the incident, which apparently took place in Tsuitemae Park in the prefectural capital of Kochi, seems to show a ...
Back in the bad old days before smartphones, we remember our early days in Japan and having to visit Internet cafes to check stuff online or write emails to friends and family.
This was pretty much the same situation as back home, but one key difference was that the Internet cafes were also rigged up as manga libraries. And there were private booths.
These were useful if you rolled out of a club at 3 a.m. but didn't want to hang around two hours until the first trains started.
But during the other times of the day and night, these booths were mostly used by patrons to watch porn. The sound ...
The Japanese are relatively tame in public. Though times are changing, it's still less common to see couples holding hands or kissing outside.
But there are always exceptions -- and perhaps inevitably these occur in places where there is such a flow of people that the participants presume or hope they won't be noticed.
From the woman fellating her driver on a highway to the couple having full sex in a corner of a electronic dance music event, look hard enough and you will find examples of nudity and sexual activity.
But even we were a little shocked by this one.
Someone spotted a young ...
The wonderful Mulboyne, a boundless source of so much trivia and fascinating information about Japan, has posted a few images from past streaking incidents in Japan.
We wanted to share these with our readers, along with some further commentary.
Japan is a culture of pubic bathing, so public nudity is hardly much to write home about. But streaking, where one runs naked through a public place, is different: it is done for attention or as a protest, and is pronounced like a foreign word in Japanese.
It was applied first, it seems, in the early 1970s to describe a rash of incidents ...
In Tokyo, it's super hot right now. Record-breaking hot, in fact. As in, 41 degrees Celsius in Saitama.
Fortunately, we don't do a job where we have to wear a shirt and jacket, and tramp to work on a packed commuter train each morning. Those poor souls have a horrendous time during this season.
There is a plus to it, though. If you get to ride the trains every day, you can also enjoy the sights of Japanese girls coping with the heat. Summer ushers in loose dresses (that soon stick to their skin and butts, revealing their things) and legs a plenty.
Some take things further, however, ...
Whoever says that Japanese girls are shy probably hasn't been out much at night in Tokyo.
There are plenty of ladies in Shibuya, Roppongi and the like who are very forward, especially after a few drinks. As the weather heats up, we look forward to enjoying a bit of nampa with these girls on the streets at night.
If you're lucky, you'll meet a couple of girls like these two, who recently decided to show the city the fact that they weren't wearing bras.
They flashed their breasts for a not insignificant amount of time by pulling up their tops and fondling their busts while both sitting ...
You see some strange sights on Japanese trains. Drunk passengers. Gropers. People in costumes. Sleeping human dominos. Even the occasional case of a pubic hair being plucked.
Sometimes you even see people naked -- and that's in addition to the streakers who like to target girls.
One such bizarre scene of public nudity was caught on camera recently. A Japanese woman sits on a seat on a busy train, apparently asleep -- and apparently after having removed all of her lower body's clothes. She sits there, legs bare and pussy exposed to all the world. At her feet lie her jeans, underwear and ...
Combing the archives, we found these leaked images of some slutty Japanese ladies taking a girls' trip out to the countryside that got very dirty, very quickly.
It was clearly summer (and apparently 2011), given what they are wearing, but they weren't keen on keeping their clothes on for long.
These girls were happy to strip off for some very provocative and playful poses in a remote corner of Japan.
They show off their lovely butts and one girl even seems to take out her tampon from her pussy. Want to see some bush? Yes, two of the ladies are happy to ...
Remember the Virgin Killer Sweater?
As we wrote before, this all-in-one, insanely revealing item of clothing shot to fame when it was modelled by Jun Amaki and quickly acquired the moniker of "virgin-killing" because it was so damned hot, a virgin would melt at the sight!
But this is the first time we've seen the Virgin Killer Sweater in the wild, so to speak, though sadly it wasn't with our own eyes -- though perhaps that's for the best because we may not have been able to control ourselves.
It was spotted worn by a bold young lady sitting on the platform of the Mita Line of the ...
