Flower: Japan’s new sexy young pop star idols

Man! That was a big shock!

I was just browsing the website of a new girl band called Flower. Wow, these girls are hot, I was thinking. They sure are. They’re also super young!

Yep, the oldest lass is 18 and they go down (ahem, not like that…maybe) as low as 14! Yes, you read that right — 14! Apparently it seems to be part of the concept of the group but whatever. All I can say is wow, wow, wow…

There are nine girls in the group and they are just about to release their debut single. Here’s wishing them success so that it will guarantee a load more photo shoots like this.

But guess what? That the girls are so young can only mean one thing: These ladies are going to be around for at least a while more and as they hit 22, 23 they will be reaching their sweet, sweet prime! I for one can’t wait…

IBM in Korea recruiting gay and lesbian workers

All right, I know, this isn’t “Tokyo” kink but it sure is interesting! Fingers crossed that this kind of company policy makes its way here soon.

IBM in Korea has made a point in its recruitment policy of clarifying that gays, lesbians and bisexuals are very welcome to apply to work for the company. This might not sound like much but Korea has almost no gays in the public eye.

Actually, neither does Japan really, and we could well use a decent, respectable celebrity to come out. Of course, there are plenty of drag queens on TV but no one states the obvious — that these people are likely a sexual minority.

Famously celebrity Korean Hong Suk-chon came out as gay in 2000 but his career immediately evaporated. He faced ostracism from his fellow actors and even abuse on the street. Here in Japan I don’t think we would ever have that problem but people just don’t really know about gays. It’s kind of sweet ignorance rather than prejudice.

Hopefully this new policy means that there will be some sexy suited lesbian ladies manning the desks of the IBM Seoul office next time I visit the land of kimchi.

American Husband Suspect in Missing Japanese Wife Mystery

You join a website specializing in getting Japanese women. It’s available in English, French, Korean and various others languages.

You meet a girl, tell her you are a doctor, and impress her with your Japanese skills. Hey presto, the girl’s yours.

Well, Fumiko married Anthony Simoneau, a former dental technician in the Navy, who she met through online dating. Things didn’t go so well for them in America and Anthony filed for divorce in 2002. He retracted the papers, though, just when Fumiko coincidentally had received a large inheritance and suddenly Anthony started buying cars and boats.

Then Fumiko disappeared in 2007 and Anthony claimed she was setting up a new home for them in Hawaii, and never reported her missing.

Now a body has been discovered in the Californian desert and finally this seedy mystery may be reaching its conclusion! It just needs to be identified now and the perpetrator brought to justice…

Anthony Simoneau apparently has an online reputation for Japanese ladies, having also seemingly worked over female users on sites like JapanCupid.com. Simoneau “promised them love and marriage and then took their money,” with one woman warning “do not believe any of his lies” and “he has no morals or conscience.”

Norwegian Wood too sexy for America

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. Japan is too sexy for America. This even means that books are apparently too much too!

Kids in New Jersey will have a tougher job finding the Murakami mega-seller in their local libraries now, since one school have banned it for too much sex. Sure, there’s a bit of lesbianism, the odd one night stand…but isn’t actually all the suicide more shocking?

Apparently the book should still be around the state but one school removed it from a summer reading list for teenaged students, and this might surely just be the tip of the iceberg. Well, Murakami, console yourself that the book has already sold over ten million copies so the financial damage won’t really hurt you too much, right?

Norwegian Wood was made into a movie last year, not a very sexy one actually, even though it did star I-take-my-clothes-off-in-any-film Rinko Kikuchi. There was also newcomer Kiko Mizuhara but sadly she was safely attired throughout.

As Variety warned potential viewers: “Murakami readers may be disappointed that the sexual content is nowhere near as explicit as the book’s.” Now, THAT’S the real scandal here!

Tokyo Game Show 2011 Idols

If you’ve ever gone to any expo, conference or industry event in Japan, you’ll know that there are always hot girls in skimpy clothes, handing out merchandise, leaflets, and just generally trying to attract attention to the booth they are representing.

The cynic in me says these ladies weren’t quite “good enough” to be models, haven’t yet made it as actresses, and don’t fancy being hostesses (or maybe they do that at night) or porn stars (again, actually they could be doing that on the same, as one of the army of unsung kikaku joyu who exist beside the major stars)…so they end up touting usually dull corporate pamphlets.

At least if it’s a tech event then there’s guaranteed goodies to be had and the quality of ladies goes up. When it’s the Tokyo Game Show then you know that geeks and male visitors will be infinite, so organizers tend to up the level.

I spotted a nice selection of images from the first day of the expo on GirlsNews.tv, and yes, Gree, Konami et al have gone all out to find a veritable battalion of ladies to amuse, titillate and impress visitors. No idea if it leads to increased sales but we like what we see!

Game Show or otherwise, there are always guys who go around taking pictures just of the ladies, making no attempt at all to engage with the booth’s sales staff. Now, that’s what I call doing business!

JKT48 Indonesian AKB48-style Idol Group

Tokyo’s AKB48 has already spawned NKE48 (Nagoya), NMB48 (Namba, Osaka), HKT48 (Hakata, or Fukuoka) and SDN48 (adult version)…Now comes JKT48 for, er, Jakarta!

JKT48 is a new overseas experiment from the makers of Japan’s top idol groups. If it’s a hit perhaps we’ll see other bands forming in Singapore, Paris and elsewhere? I’m just surprised that they didn’t try Seoul first, given the great similarities between Korea and Japan, but perhaps all the K-Pop gals were too scary to compete with!

To start with they have announced an open call for auditions in Indonesia, with results to be decided in mid-October and the “winners” announced. The lucky ladies will then take singing and dancing lessons, before making their debuts in the new year. Apparently the new group will demonstrate Indonesia’s unique culture, in the same way that AKB shows Japan’s, but I have no idea what that means.

AKB of course have already played many concerts abroad, including New York and LA, Paris, Moscow, Macao, Korea and Taiwan.

Obviously no pictures exist of the new group yet. What do you think, boys? Fancy an Indonesia idol or not?

Tenga Eggs get laid for third time

Tenga, the best adult toy goods maker in the world bar none, has done it again. After trying their hand at the James Cameron-esque 3D Tenga, they’ve now gone back to one of their early hits, the simple but very effective Tenga Eggs.

These stretchy silicone eggs can be pulled right over your cock and allow you to pleasure yourself with the delicate and stimulating designs on the inside, while still letting you feel your hand through the material.

The first two sets were huge hits back in the day and since then Tenga went supernova with its Flip Hole series. Now it has gone back to the Eggs to lay a “third season” batch of these discreet masturbators.

And we really like the way they went about it. In a display of genuine fraternity with their male customers, they crowd-sourced the new eggs! They offered several different designs — each egg’s inside is unique — in an online “election” and asked people to choose the ones they most wanted Tenga to make. The top three results became the new eggs. Now, that’s what I call politics that connects with the people!

The trilogy of newbies are Thunder, Crater and Misty, and boy do they live up to their names. Each has its own stimulating curves and contours inside to get you off in no time. Sadly, candidates who do not get enough votes include the intriguingly named Spicy, Breaker, Bricker, Zebra and Blaster…Fingers crossed there is another election.

AKB48 Augmented Reality App

Top idols AKB48 have been promoting almost every product in Japan recently and prominent among the campaigns has been the one for travel agency H.I.S.

Though you sadly can’t actually book a trip with any of the lovely ladies, you can go some of the way there with the latest addition to the marketing smorgasbord: An AKB48 augmented reality app for smartphones!

From August 22 to September 30, guys up and down the land are going to be occupied with oen thing only — the AKB48 Augmented Reality Stamp Rally. After downloading the free app, uou have to go to branches of H.I.S. and read the AR markers and collect 15 virtual AKB idols ostensibly “standing” in the store and posing for your viewing pleasure.

After you collect 5 stamps/idols you then get to watch special video on your phone.

There other incentives like winning a vacation and all that jazz, but we know the real reason for this kind of campaign. And it’s slim and cute, with thin legs and a slender waist!

Some of the gals have also recently been doing sexy photo shoots for Peach John bras, proving that even petite idols can have nice busts if they choose the right lingerie.
