Sometimes, things are just too good to be true. Here's a case in point.
A Japanese model called imma has attracted a following on Instagram for her amazing looks and style. But imma is not a regular model or idol. She's not even human.
Like the schoolgirl Saya, the AKB48 member Aimi Eguchi, and the entirely AI-generated idol supergroup, imma is entirely digital. The CG virtual idol is the creation of ModelingCafe, a company that has produced digitally crafted characters and monsters for a range of media (check out its impressive portfolio). Well, imma (whose name is apparently a pun on ...
Adult virtual reality content is one of the popular trends in Japanese porn right now. Quite how long it will last is anyone's guess but there is currently a steady stream of VR software content coming out on release.
But have you ever wondered how it all gets made in the first place?
We stumbled upon these enlightening behind-the-scenes images from five different VR porn shoots. The process of making adult virtual reality involves quite a set-up, though not necessarily that much more complicated for the performers than other kinds of AV. Imagine hamedori POV porn but with more ...
Feeling lonely as the autumn season begins? Don't worry. The VR Kareshi is a virtual Japanese boyfriend for ladies in need of some tender attention from a constant companion.
Virtual girlfriends (and boyfriends) are nothing new. Over the years, we've seeen plenty of dating sims apps and video games, from the relatively innocent to the outright erotic.
The twist here is that the technology for this otome romance game is now virtual reality.
But even this isn't actual new per se. Indeed, the same makers, IVR, have already released the VR Kanojo, which is far more explicit and, as ...
As recently shared by Kotaku, anime girl virtual reality massages in Japan are, as the name suggests, virtual and the actual reality is quite different to what the customers see in their headset.
He might well be experiencing a female anime character giving him plenty of TLC and charming looks, but the grim truth is that a guy is sitting in front and providing the physical side of the massage.
One such VR massage provider is Toranoana VR Relaxation, which plans to open in Akihabara, Tokyo.
This is not a rub-and-tug joint but instead you do get to enjoy a virtual reality ...
Sex Tech Guide recently wrote up an interesting report about Tokyo's VR booths.
"Space is a valuable commodity, but it would seem that in Tokyo at least, so too is the privacy to masturbate," as the article writes -- a fact that people living in the city's rabbit-hutch apartments with families can well attest.
The article investigates one such booth in the basement of an Soft on Demand sex shop. The booth contains a computer, VR headset, wall-mounted tissue dispenser, towel, clock, and a vacuum cleaner.
Any doubts over the intended use of these booths were quickly dispelled by ...
If you've got a fetish for bicycle seats or close-ups of crotches, then this is the experience you've been waiting for. However, we can't help but wonder if this is the kind of usage that the original creators envisaged when they invented virtual reality.
A Japanese crowdfunding project is seeking funds to make virtual reality simulator videos that show the crotch of a young woman in close-up as she rides a bicycle.
The aptly named Fetish VR Video wants to raise ¥1 million to make its specialist content. The perks offered include viewing rights for the first videos if you pay ¥3,000, ...
Forget music idols. Young people in Japan all want to be YouTubers these days.
In the short space of a few years, the YouTuber has risen to the status of near-god in the media world. As with any celebrity or star, then, many people also want to date YouTubers.
But not all YouTubers are real. Shiro is one of the latest virtual YouTubers to attract a following in Japan, the land that previously brought us 2D idols in such games as Love Plus or the digital music idol giant that is Hatsune Miku. Shiro-chan joined YouTube in June 2017, since when the busy lady has released new videos every day ...
Is this future of idols?
People often complain about the manufactured nature of idols, both in terms of the way they look and their music. Well, this development takes things to the next logical yet extreme step.
Kyoto-based DataGrid has released a video showing the creation of a fully digital schoolgirl idol. In fact, it's dozens of smiling, innocent-looking schoolgirls -- a fully fledged supergroup of its own, and all generated by computer graphic pixels and artificial intelligence.
To be honest, we don't know whether to be amazed or terrified. The realism is certainly amazing ...
Following the initial buzz, the adult implications for virtual reality in Japan have not yet quite lived up to the hype.
We were amused to see the recent demonstration by idol Kanna Hashimoto of a "4D goggles" where a robotic arm feeds the wearer a candy while watching Hashimoto do the same virtually. Otherwise there has been a lack of major new projects, unless they simply passed under our radar that was too clogged with AV and onaholes to notice.
But this is fun -- and perhaps something that only the minds of Akihabara could have conceived. It's a virtual reality experience of dining ...
Do you want a cute girlfriend but don't have the looks, social skills, money, time, or language ability to get one?
Fear not. As we know, there are lots of virtual dating and 2D character options in Japan, from Lovely x Cation to VR Kanojo and a virtual version of the gravure idol Ai Shinozaki. Recently this has become enhanced thanks to smartphone apps and virtual reality, though we remember sims and dating characters from back in the pre-iPhone days.
Here's another possibility: Ai Furuse is a virtual female being developed by the artificial intelligence smartphone app SELF. It now has ...
