Hikari, a city in the rural prefecture of Yamaguchi in the west of Japan, has a mascot. No surprise there, since almost every town, city, prefecture, company, political party, or anything in Japan has an official mascot of some kind. Japanese adult toy brands also have them: Toy's Heart has Toys-kun, while Tama Toys has Super Tamanyan.
But Cuto is different.
Cuto is all about breasts and childrearing. As her name suggests, she looks cute, right? But those circles on her cheeks are not blushes. You've guessed it -- they're nipples. Because Cuto's head is meant to be a pair of ...
Freelance photographer Misuzu Shibuya (渋谷美鈴) recently shared on Twitter highlights from an erotic photo shoot she did with three models: Maria Mitsu (Maria Temari), ai, and Rin.
In a far, frankly welcome cry from the more obvious world of busts, butts, and bikinis in the gravure shoots of the weekly tabloids, Shibuya has created an artistic, remarkably alluring series of images.
The red theme is an obvious winner, as is the water, subtle nudity, and the hints of lesbianism.
Is this the sexiest erotic photo shoot ever? Well, probably not -- but it's gotta be in the list.
Our ...
We've said it before and we'll say it again: it's the older ladies who know how to sex things up.
The tarento and actress Chiharu Niiyama (新山千春) has released her first gravure shoots in -- yes, this is quite a gap -- 20 years!
Now aged 40, Niiyama last posed two decades ago. Last's do a before-and-after.
Here is what she looks like now, featured in a recent issue of weekly magazine FLASH.
And here is what she looked like 20 years ago, in 1998.
This is her again in the magazine FLASH but in May last year.
Now that she is firmly in the jukujo "mature" stage of ...
Beauty and the eyes of the beholder. Come on, you know the score by now.
But even so, this has got to be one of the stranger tales of talking in Japan that we've heard about.
Earlier this month, a woman was arrested for walking into a restaurant in the city of Nara. She couldn't legally enter that restaurant because of the Stalker Control Act, which she was violating. Why? Because she had worked there for about a year until February 2020 and had in the process become infatuated with another woman who worked there.
OK, lesbian stalking? Got it. No, not only that. The arrested woman is 21 ...
Over the weekend, a large earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. Here in Tokyo, we felt some pretty bad jolts for some time on Saturday night, but it was far worse for the northeast of the country.
Social media was soon awash with images of fallen bookshelves, smashed plants, collapsed and broken furniture.
One set of images that caught our eye on Twitter were these two photos of the insane disorder wrought upon a porn shop in Koriyama, Fukushima.
The manager of Book Fan 24 shared two pictures of the shelves emptied and countless numbers of DVDs and adult manga piled up on the floor. ...
Here's another one to add to our long list of haafu (biracial) beauties.
Around this time last year, we got excited about the comely Pamela Asahi. Who's next?
The latest model set for major fame is Naomi Trauden (トラウデン直美), a 21-year-old from Kyoto. With a German father who taught German literature at Kyoto University and a Japanese mother, Naomi certainly has good genes.
She started modeling for CanCam at the age of 13, becoming the magazine's youngest model in the process.
And here's (in our opinion) the best part: she's currently a third-year political science student at ...
Space, the final frontier for masturbation?
Tenga is not just content merely with producing some of the most sophisticated and best-designed Japanese adult toys, and achieving the distinction as pretty much the sole Japanese sex toy line to have global distribution in its own right, the brand also continues to market its products in unique and fun ways.
The latest iteration of this is Tenga Rocket, a project that sees brand founder Koichi Matsumoto in the same territory as other captains of industry like Richard Branson and Elon Musk.
Tenga Rocket is pretty much what it sounds like: a ...
There is a public park located a short walk from the main part of Nichome, Shinjuku's gay neighborhood. It underwent remodeling and reopened with fences and a gate. Unlike almost all other small parks in the city, it was now closed at night. The proximity of the gay district, whose denizens had presumably used the park to gather, drink, and possibly get intimate, was no coincidence.
Now we read about another case related to this.
The owner of a sento public bathhouse was understandably peeved that patrons were using his establishment to have sex. While Japanese porn might give you other ...
Spare a thought for Yui Imaizumi.
The former Keyakizaka46 cutie seemed to have found love and happiness with a man, albeit one who does not use condoms and presumes there are no consequences to ejaculating inside her.
After a tough time last year when she contracted the coronavirus, but also showed us how busty she is on Zoom, Imaizumi recently announced her marriage to 28-year-old YouTuber Mahoto Watanabe.
The 22-year-old, who left Keyakizaka46 in 2018, also announced that she was pregnant, so in other words -- this is yet another celebrity shotgun wedding.
A moment for fans to ...
Japanese condoms are famous for two things: being among the best and thinnest in the world; and for being rarely used by men in Japan, who prefer to finish inside (and then have shotgun weddings), or to emulate porn by pulling out and finishing on the body/face of their partner.
But they were recently in the news for another reason: a curious historical discovery.
Indeed, this condom may well be the oldest one we've seen. Thankfully, it's not still in use.
The Osaka-based Morishita Jintan has been around for 130 years. The pharmaceutical and medical device maker was one of Japan's first ...
