We all have our peccadilloes, but some are stranger than others. Some of them are rightfully referred to as fetishes -- and some will get you arrested. And sometimes they are both. Judging by the astounding amount of smell fetish toys, sprays, and lubes available, Japan would seem to have a thing for erotic aromas. A minority, though, inevitably take things too far. One day, a Japanese man decided he wanted to take some shoes from a school in Noboribetsu on the northern island of Hokkaido. But he didn't want them as ordinary footwear. No, his interest lay in their pungent value ...

We previously wrote about schoolgirl-themed VR Kanojo ("virtual reality girlfriend") as one of the most impressive and realistic examples of adult virtual reality to have emerged in Japan. We then got excited in January about VAQSO, a startup that was developing a virtual reality system that combined sight with smell. The headset pumps out a variety of scents in response to the game you play. The potential for adult games and experiences are obvious. Well, we are very happy to report that the two developments have joined forces. The VR Kanojo game can now be played with the VAQSO ...

The adult industry in Japan is giddy right now about the possibilities for virtual reality. We have already seen lots of events and ideas emerge, though no major releases yet. The potential for sex toys and dolls combined with virtual reality headsets is obvious and not actually so new. But what about smell fetish? As we know, this is huge in Japan, from smell bottles to used panties and more. Well, this side of the industry is not getting ignored by the adult VR boom.

The web magazine Ignition had an interesting article about Daigo Igarashi, the "modern alchemist" who created the Female University Student No.10 perfume replicating the “scent of a girl”. The aroma, one of many such smell fetish items in Japan, was showcased at the Niconico Chokaigi in April. The fragrance was developed by Daigo Igarashi (also known by his handle/stage name “Hiroko Ashiyama”) who’s been busy researching the topic of “hacking the five senses.” It all started with a simple question: “Why do girls smell so nice?” which lead Mr. Igarashi to focus ...

We saw an interesting story first shared on Tokyo Reporter, which appeals to our sense of the fetishistic. Tokyo cops have busted a special parlor in Takadonobaba, near Shinjuku, where male customers could go to smell Japanese schoolgirls in private rooms. The manager, one Takanori Izuchi, was a mere 33 years old but he was boldly running the aptly-named Pure Doll JK Community near the JR Station on the Yamanote Line. It's not the smell fetish per se that's the issue here. Izuchi and another employee were arrested for hiring actual teenagers to let male patrons sniff them in their ...

Basically when the fetish is this strong, the ball is wide open for what you can ...

Kanazawa is a genteel small city near the western coast of Japan, sandwiched between the central mountains and the Sea of Japan. It is home to samurai houses, art museums, a famous garden, and an old geisha district. In other words, it is like an alternate Kyoto. But don't be fooled. Underneath this exterior of tranquility and grace there is a hotbed of fetishism. Local police arrested a 21-year-old fourth-year college student from Takaoka City in neighboring Toyama City on suspicion on sneaking into an elementary school in order to steal girls' indoor shoes. "I wanted to smell the ...
