One sure-fire way to promote condom usage is to use a sexy girl as your brand ambassador, right? Well, we're not sure. It will certainly get the punters thinking about sex but will they then reach for a prophylactic when things get going? Condom usage in Japan is notoriously low, with men preferring to pull out (and often do a money shot on their partner, particularly their face -- a technique learned from Japanese porn). Obviously, this is not the safest method of having intercourse (and, we presume, for the female partner not the most comfortable way to end things). So Sagami continues to ...

TikTokers are the new social media stars -- and the new porn stars. In an industry always desperate for the Next Big Thing, TikTok seems to offer a source of sexy young ladies who want to promote themselves. Following the examples set by biracial stunner Okogetan and duck-faced Unpai, the latest popular user of the short-form video platform to debut in the Japanese porn industry is Ichika-sensei (いちか先生). Known by her user name @ichikanihitomebore (literally, "Ichika love at first sight"), Ichika has almost 200,000 followers on the platform, plus over 10,000 subscribers and ...

As we all know, Japan -- or at least, Japanese pop culture -- has a serious liking for the yaeba snaggletooth. Some girls even get their teeth changed so that they have the protruding, pointy upper canine look. Apparently there is so much demand for this brand of beauty from certain kinds of men that we now learn there is even going to be a pop band solely devoted to girls with the "cute" dentures. And not just any band -- it's a cosplay otaku one! Apparently a world-first, TYB48 -- no prizes for guessing which band they are imitating in their nomenclature, then -- is launching out of ...

Much like the yaeba snaggletooth phenomenon, the Japanese trend of the duck face has both fascinated and revolted foreigners. Japanese girls make the duck-face pout (ahiru-guchi) as they think it makes them look cute and attractive to men. You look "dumb" and submissive, and, since Japanese ladies don't usually have much in the way of busts or butts they have to make up for it by charming gentlemen with their faces. Classic duck-face advocates include Tomomi Itano from AKB48, singer Yuki, and voice actress Aya Hirano, though it can look sexier in the context. It was first used in the ...

Ever noticed something a little...different about the mouths of Japanese models, celebrities, and cute girls on the street? It may not be apparent right away, but once you notice, it's hard to miss -- a good number of them have snaggleteeth (yaeba)! A pair of yaeba are considered very cute to many Japanese. From convention booth babes to actresses to Japan's Princess Masako, yaeba are a common sight in Japanese media. Unlike America, where teeth are straightened in childhood and crooked teeth often signify poverty or a lack of care, orthodontics never really caught on in Japan, and there's ...
