Tenga Condoms: Original designer contraceptives by Japan’s top adult toys brand
April 10, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Tenga is having a massive year to celebrate its tenth anniversary.
It has continued its series of special new releases for the milestone with the Tenga Condoms.
While the condoms themselves are regular sleeves (natural color, natural-type tip), the packaging is awesome. Each of the condoms in the six-pack comes in its own mini case (common in Japan) with an individual pop art design.
The six are then stored in a round case that looks like it could house almost anything (sweets, snuff, a monocle) except condoms! As discreet and stylish as Tenga always is.
As usual the ...

When you need something done, crowdsource it. And we know that Japanese netizens are a creative and resourceful bunch.
For Valentine's Day (when girls give guys chocolates in Japan), Tenga became the Tenga Robo... a mecha creation for pleasuring the men.
For White Day (March 14th, when the guys give chocolates to the girls in Japan), Japan's netizens reciprocated and turned Tenga into a Iroha-integrated robot. As shared on Twitter in an ever more outlandish series of images, the Tenga Iroha Robo was artistically very impressive.

Tenga Vacuum Controller: Tenga goes electric to make your onacup better
March 24, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
It had to happen some day.
The Apple of the Japanese sex toys market has finally made a sex machine. Well, sort of. It's not a sex machine in the same world as the A10 Cyclone Robotic Masturbator by Rends.
But Tenga has created its first electric adult toy. And as you'd expect from Tenga, it's very smart and minimalist -- but super effective.
The Tenga Vacuum Controller works with some of its onacup toys (specifically, the Deep Throat Cup Standard, Deep Throat Cup Hard, Deep Throat Cup Soft, Deep Throat Cup Cool, and U.S. Tenga Deep Throat Cup models -- though only new versions ...

Japanese netizens responds to ISIS hostage crisis with internet meme and moe
January 22, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
The threat announced by ISIS to execute two Japanese hostages, Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa, unless the government pays them $200 million shocked many.
But not Japanese netizens. They responded with amusement -- by mocking the extremists through a series of composite images on social media.
Yes, a Photoshop contest is apparently the best response to terrorism. Maybe the government will follow suit with its own montage.
There are allegations that the video is a fake -- the shadows are strange and the background coloring looks imposed -- but regardless, two lives are potentially at ...
Tenga turns ten! Celebrates with Premium Tenga Vacuum Cup onacup
January 16, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Ten years of Tenga! Yes, Japan's most designer brand of sex and masturbation aids ("the Apple of Japanese adult toys") is a decade old.
While we don't wish to blow our own trumpet (no euphemism implied), Kanojo Toys has played a part in their success.
Of course, that Tenga products are now global bestsellers is first of all thanks to the quality and innovation of the series.
But Kanojo Toys and Tokyo Kinky (when it was just the Kanojo Toys blog), along with the old CScout Japan trend blog essentially "broke" the story to the world when Tenga first appeared.
A then small ...
Turning “adult” in style! Free Tenga masturbation aid sex toys at Coming-of-Age Day Event at Asagaya Loft A
January 9, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
This Monday it's Coming-of-Age Day in Japan. On top of being a national holiday for everyone, if you are turning 20 you get to dress up in a kimono and attend a ceremony where you become a legal adult.
Asagaya Loft A has its own take on the rite of passage, though.
While officially the coming-of-age ceremonies are known as seijin-shiki (成人式), Asagaya Loft A is holding an event named the same but with a different Kanji. The seijin-shiki this time is 性人式, literally meaning "sexual person ceremony." When written with those characters, it's slang for a swingers' party (and adds a ...
Big Hero 6’s Baymax as you’ve seen him: Big Hero 6 breasts, Tenga Egg
January 8, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Baymax protects the young male protagonist in Disney's Big Hero 6 but these are some heroes we'd like to protect ourselves. And they certainly live up to the "inflatable" bounce of the big-screen animated character.
Tenga, currently in a frenzy of publicity for its tenth anniversary celebrations, went a big cheeky and decided to decorate a Tenga Egg (white, of course) with some eyes... and then voilà, you have Baymax.
Pretty similar, huh?
And then sexy cosplayer Saku, who has a mighty fine pair of assets, decided to put Baymax's eyes on her chest. The effect was to highlight ...
Tenga is the Apple of the Japanese sex toys industry.
Not only are its adult aids superb to look at and use, but it's savvy marketing means it comes up with awesome ways to promote its products, from sponsoring music and art events, to working with all sorts of top creative types to pursue side projects.
It has also inspired some other people to do Tenga-themed things.
These include a "Tenga coffee tumbler", plus it even gave away a free sex toy with its company business cards earlier this year (the Pocket Tenga was integrated into the business card).
Now tarento and idol Akari ...
What were the bestselling adult items in Japan in 2014?
December 12, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
Amazon.co.jp has released its list of bestselling items for the year.
Naturally we went straight to check out the adult section!
The top seller was the Seven Teen Bordeaux Onahole, a now classic onahole of virgin teenager sensations.
Number 2 was a Tenga product and perhaps it's no surprise that it was their Deep Throat Onacup, a cheap but stylish way to pop your load.
This was followed by another Tenga toy at Number 3 -- the Tenga Flip Hole.
Number 4 was the by Toy's Heart.
Number 5 was a lube from the Pepe series by Nippori.
Number 6 was the Sujiman Kupa! ...
