Goodbye, Bad Magazines: A new film about the struggles of Japanese adult publishers
January 12, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
In one of our (sadly) increasingly rare trips to the movie theater, especially the arthouse cinemas known as "mini theaters" in Japan, we saw a trailer for this movie that deals with a subject very close to our hearts.
Goodbye, Bad Magazines is about the impact of the removable of adult magazines from convenience stores, as one of the ways in which Tokyo tried to clean up its image ahead of the 2020 Olympics. As we know, it was all for naught since the Olympics were delayed by a year and then held without spectators, and at a time in which almost no one except citizens could even enter the ...
Japanese porn stars compete in Tokyo Olympics sex competition

While the Tokyo Olympics enters its second week, the athletes are apparently not having sex in the Olympics Village.
But that is certainly not the case for Japanese porn stars, who are kept busy in a prodigious industry that pumps out thousands of new releases each year.
In a recent photo shoot, five top Japanese adult video stars posed nude for a "naked Olympics" in which they showed off their athletic prowess (as well as their lovely bodies).
Here is Ayaka Mochizuki doing karate.
The flexible Rui Minagawa displays her gymnastics abilities.
This is Emily (Hikari Sakuraba, Ellen ...
Tokyo Olympics adult sale: Go for gold at the masturbation and sex Olympics!
July 23, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
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 ...
Olympic athletes and visitors to Tokyo now online and looking to date locals
July 16, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Every time the Olympics are held, the Olympic Village becomes infamous as a place for athletes to hook up. This year, as previously reported, such fraternizing is being discouraged and the distributed condoms are officially recommended as mementos for athletes to take home rather than use during the Games.
Not so for the tens of thousands of other people coming to Tokyo as part of the entourages.
And as Farrah Akase found, many of them are already in the city and actively going online on Bumble to find locals to hook up with. (Presumably Tinder and other apps are similar.)
Farrah ...
Tokyo bans sex in Olympic Village during upcoming Olympics
June 21, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Preparations continue for the 2021 Olympic Games, despite the ongoing pandemic and public opposition, and various downsizing measures that have divorced the events almost completely from the host city.
In the latest development, the athletes will have to endure many rules and restrictions on their activities at the Olympic Village during their stay. This includes regulations on fraternization and leaving their rooms. Organizers don't even want athletes eating in groups. Or sleeping together, it seems.
Famously, the Olympic Village serves to facilitate a lot of sex: thousands of athletes who ...
Japanese condom makers exciting about supplying horny international athletes at 2020 Tokyo Olympics
March 23, 2018

The Olympics isn't all just sport, you know. There's a lot of sex that goes on, especially within the relatively enclosed confines of the Olympic Village (think of all the adrenaline, testosterones, and other hormones!) and also out and around the host city that is overrun by visiting athletes, staff, media, and spectators from around the world.
Apparently, Japan's condom makers are looking forward to 2020, when Tokyo will host the Summer Olympics, in order to show off their 0.01mm ultra-thin wares.
While arguably most Japanese men don't bother with condoms, hence the high rate of ...
AKB48 head Yasushi Akimoto to join 2020 Olympics Board
March 13, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
A 55-year-old man interested only in money and exploiting scantily-clad teenagers in his quest to empty the wallets of naive otaku and corporations with tastes bad enough to agree to advertising campaigns featuring his minions -- Yasushi Akimoto, the producer behind AKB48 and all its spinoffs.
This is a man whose only goal is to make his company's bank account richer, no matter what depths he plumbs.
This is a man who still claims to be making "music" despite his constant pandering to the lowest denominator in the AKB48 music videos and ad campaigns (nothing wrong with porn, of course, ...
Tokyo 2020: Will the Olympics try to “clean up” the city’s pornography?
September 8, 2013
/ Tadashi Anahori
It has just been announced that Tokyo will host the Summer Olympic Games in 2020. Will the city try to expunge all its unsavory elements ahead of the event?
The last time the city hosted the Games there was a similar campaign to "clean up" the streets, and when the Winter Games were held in Nagano they forced Pachinko parlors to close.
So can we look forward to the municipal government going full-out to hide unsightly shacks that serve as residences for the homeless or the slum-like drinking dens like Piss Alley in Shinjuku? Perhaps.
But we are most worried about what it may try to do to ...
