Matsumoto-san, the founder and creator of the legendary Tenga onacups, did a great 18 minute segment on the Osamu Show for NicoNicoDouga.

Click below to tune in. NicoNico gets twice the traffic in Japan as YouTube, so there’s no way that Tenga will escape the eyes of every man and woman in Japan!

UPDATE: Well it seems that the video was taken down for some reason! For those who missed it, here’s an interesting anime song / Tenga mash-up from NicoNico. Enjoy!

PickUp Asia：Seduction Masters of the East

Written by: Taro on April 20, 2009 at 4:46 am | In Erotic Japan Blog | Discuss »

Note from Taro: I’ve met RedpoleQ and other crew members of PickupAsia before, and can attest to their skills. We spent an afternoon in Shibuya testing out the “day game” techniques with very surprising results. I never would have thought that J-girls would respond like that, but they did…and I was happy

Ever see a guy walk into a Seoul nightclub or a Shibuya bar, and make out with a stunning girl ten minutes later? If he doesn’t look like Tom Cruise,there’s a good chance that he’s studied with PickUp Asia, the masters of the Asian pick-up scene.

Nampa. Speed seduction. Sarging. Whatever you want to call it, the art of the pick-up has turned from a unconscious ability of a few lucky guys to a precision science and a booming industry. Across the world, seduction gurus like Mystery and Neil Strauss teach “average frustrated chumps” how to win girls beyond their wildest dreams. Like a lot of internet gurus, it sounds too fantastic to be true, but they’ve got the videos to back up their claims- YouTube has hundreds of clips of these guys turning a five-minute conversation into a phone number, a kiss, or even a trip to the apartment (or a love hotel) right then and there.

Asian girls may seem different at first, say the guys at PickUp Asia, but in the end they’ve got the same chemistry, desires, and feelings as any other women, and can be picked up in the same way. There are various schools of seduction in Europe and the Americas, but PickUp Asia is the first to operate in Hong Kong, Seoul, and Tokyo, the biggest metropolises in the East. From nightclubs to train rides to street corners, they use intensive weekend boot camps to acclimate guys to “the game” and get them out and meeting women by the hundreds. While the group started small, it recently caught the eye of a Hong Kong TV station (interview HERE).

Even if you’re not in Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, or Hong Kong, these guys are worth checking out. They have a free 10-part course on Asian women, a forum for learning and meeting wingmates, a weekly skypecast, and various articles on their website.

Japanese Sex Toys – New Product Roundup #1

Written by: Taro on April 16, 2009 at 9:15 am | In Product Releases | Discuss »

We’ve had several emails from readers who want to know when the newer products on KanojoToys are coming out, but we haven’t been the best at keeping you all up-to-date. Sorry about that!

If you want to know all of the new products that come into the KanojoToys Online Shop, there are three ways to do it.

The first is to go to the shop itself! Easy. Otherwise, you can check out the “What’s New” section or subscribe to their RSS Feed.

Now. The 4th option is our new weekly roundup, and we’ll do our best to stay on top of it!

Twister has tornado action that will suck you into its vortex. Be careful!

One of the new variety of inflatable love bunnies (what do YOU call ‘em?), the Love Pillow is printed and molded with 3D design to look and feel more real without the crazy

Love a nice ass with panties fitting snugly? Dynamite Hips Rumi lets you dress her up and spank her like the bad girl she is before giving it to her however you please.

Hands can do a lot, but sometimes it’s time to automate and let technology do the dirty work. The Virtual Robo Hole Premium does just that with adjustable power and tiny nubs that work you up and down.

Bihada is the first hole that uses the latest Velvet Skin technology that is so soft you’ll never want to pull out!

Phallic Veneration at Kanamara Matsuri

Written by: Taro on April 12, 2009 at 7:12 pm | In Erotic Japan Blog | Discuss »

Kanamara Matsuri is a yearly festival in Kawasaki, Japan, where throngs of onlookers gather to cheer on a parade of giant phalluses. Legend has it that in the olden days, a sharp-toothed demon hid inside a Kawasakian girl’s vagina, and a local blacksmith built an iron penis to break its teeth and free the young woman. The penis resides in the local temple most of the time, but one day a year, it is taken out and paraded around the town, its carriers shouting “deka mara (big penis)!”

Shops line the streets of Kawasaki, selling the typical festival assortment of mochi, chicken skewers, and beer, but the souvenirs in everyone’s mouths were these penis-shaped lollipops:

Kanamara matsuri only happens on the first Sunday of every April, but Flickr has a great collection of photos from the event, and if you’d like to see the object of veneration, you can find it year-round at the Kanamara shrine. Many of its visitors are gawking tourists, but natives also visit the shrine to pray for fertility, good luck in bed, and protection from STD’s.

Daisuke Shima Heralds in 10 Years of an Erect Japan

Written by: Taro on April 10, 2009 at 12:40 pm | In Erotic Japan Blog | Discuss »

This erection has nothing to do with English pronunciation difficulties. Daisuke Shima, celebrated actor and the star of the upcoming series 『ママはニューハーフ」(“Mom is a Transvestite”), welcomed in the tenth anniversary of Viagra’s Japanese debut by launching its “Hardness is a Man’s Honorable Decoration (硬さは男の勲章)” campaign.

ED is becoming a big problem in Japan, with 1 in 5 men reporting only grapefruit-level hardness on Pfizier’s highly scientific scale of konjak (jelly) to ripe, red apple. To men who just can’t get it up, Viagra is a godsend, but even those without ED are beginning to try the drug. Mr. Shima reports, “Some men say that if you normally have wood, Viagra turns it metal!”

Why might a penis as hard as a grapefruit be cause for concern, when it’s listed on the scale as “plenty sufficient for penetration”? Interestingly enough, while most agree with the western stereotype that Asian men tend to be on the small side, the Japanese hold the fierce belief that they are much harder than Americans. Getting it up isn’t just a matter of being able to get off or not, it’s a point of national pride.

Yaeba: Japan’s Crush on the Snaggletooth

Written by: Taro on April 6, 2009 at 12:07 pm | In Erotic Japan Blog | Discuss (5) »

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 snaggle-teeth! 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 no implied connection between straight teeth and good health or social standing. Maekawa at the Yaeba Superstar blog writes in Japanese for the most part, but he has this to say to English-speaking visitors:

Thank you for coming.
The crooked tooth is forgiven by most of Japanese. In fact, most of Japanese feel it cute and love it.
Amazingly some of Japanese girl apply Yaeba to their own teeth.This is not for Halloween but for making them charming.

Along with his frequently-updated blog of yaeba in the media, Maeka also maintains a best-of-yaeba photo gallery, full of young Japanese beauties with overlapping front canines. As long as yaeba fans like Maeka keep blogging, and superstars like Seiko Matsuda Nozomi Tsuji (above) keep showing us how sexy double teeth can be, yaeba are likely to be a fixture in Japan for a long time to come.
