In Japan, voice actresses are as popular as music idols, fashion models, and gravure idols. Despite only displaying their vocal talents on the screen, fans adore these ladies, and it's why so many of them have developed lucrative side lines in event appearances and photo books.

ASMR is one of those things that some people just don't get. It is, let's be honest, for a certain type of person or mindset. But there is ASMR and then there's ASMR. And then there's Japanese ASMR. Which means at times intersecting with some very strange fetishes. But how about an audio-sensory frisson from flatulence? A dojinshi circle, Inoshikachokan (いのしかちょう館), has released an hour-long audio file of a voice actress farting. Created by Uribou (うりぼう) and with illustrations by Yamato (Daikon), the seiyu Kotori Hino's (日乃ことり) novel contribution to the ...

Seiyuu (voice actress) Rie Tanaka has stunned the Internet by tweeting preview images from her latest lingerie shoot. No stranger per se to sexy shoots, this is nonetheless probably the most provocative the 1979-born idol has got as far as we know. Netizens are delighted by what they saw and Tanaka's original post has received thousands of retweets and likes. We're not sure where or when the final images from the shoot will appear -- a photo book, a weekly magazine? -- but the brief behind-the-scenes footage suggests the photographer was very lucky to get so close to her slinky ...

Voice actress and singer Sumire Uesaka is famous for being cute, of course, and also having an obsession with the Soviet Union. Now she possibly has another feather in her bow.

The single, which is Uesaka's tenth and is out on April 17th, is also the intro theme for the TV anime Nande Koko ni Sensei Ga!? (Why are you here, sensei?!), for which Sumire voices the character Kana Kojima. The video shows Uesaka lounging around ...
