Do you want to work surrounded by vibrators, dildos, and female customers? Sounds like a dream job for us. The Vibe Bar Wild One in Shibuya is looking for new staff. The bar sadly closed at the end of September 2020, no doubt hit hard by the pandemic, but will reopen in 2024 at an as-yet unannounced date. In the interim, the bar, which recently celebrated its eleventh anniversary, has operated as a space for hire for private events, photo shoots, and so on. Famously, the bar is by women, for women, and men can't go unaccompanied. Based on the concept of "see, touch, and try," the ...

As regular readers will know, Osada Steve is a true rope master who practices the Osada-ryu school of shibari (kinbaku) bondage and is something of a legend in the Japanese BDSM scene. We interviewed Osada-sensei about six months ago to find out more about his amazing career, how he entered the secret world of shibari rope bondage, and his insights on the future of kinbaku. Now he has let us know about a new project he recently launched: a "toy salon" where top-quality Japanese female pleasure items can be tested under the expert guidance of trained counselors. In addition to the various ...

On May 31, Kyoto police arrested a 37-year-old man who runs a hair salon in the city on suspicion of "quasi-forced indecency." Teppai Kozaki is accused of forced use of a massager on a woman. The charge relates to an act allegedly done quite some time ago -- February last year -- in which Kozaki sexually assaulted a female customer in his salon for 40 minutes. The 24-year-old woman was lying back in a chair to get her hair dyed when Kozaki allegedly started to use a massager on her genitals over her clothes. It is unclear how the victim reacted and whether she attempted to escape but was ...

When we talk about mouth-shaped adult toys, we usually mean blow job toys -- masturbators that simulate the experience of a woman blowing you with a toy. These are particularly popular with mouths (lips, tongue, nose and all!) based on actual JAV porn stars. But what about another kind of mouth toy for ladies? The Hi-Power Cunnimachine Oral Sex Mouth Vibrator is designed for vaginal and clitoral pleasure, either playing alone or with a partner. Not only does it look great and nonthreatening (unlike many other intimacy toys that emphasize power over aesthetic), it is compact and easy to ...

So you've already got your breast-shaped fortune and your handwritten schoolgirl love letter. The latest item available from Japan's capsule toy vending machines (gachapon or gashapon), which usually sell collectibles for kids, is a mini denma massager vibrator. As regular readers or avid Japanese adult video viewers will know well, the denma "wand" is a massager-style vibrator that is popular with couples due to its wide, flexible head that can run all over the most sensitive parts of a female body. Denma toys come in all shapes and sizes, plus there are various accessories for attaching ...

In recent weeks, we have been obsessing over the porn debut of music idol Rikako Inoue (now performing as Yotsuha Kominato). With all the new JAV releases each month, it can be easy to forget who was big a season or so ago. One sure sign that you have progressed from the fleeting triumph of debutant-of-the-month to established star surely arrives when you are invited to work with a sex toy brand to produce your own item. Kaoru Yasui provided one of the most high-profile debuts last year when she made the switch from gravure to porn. She has continued to release further AV titles and now her ...

Make love, not war. It's more than a slogan. It's a cliché. But it's certainly a policy we embrace here at Tokyo Kinky. The Japanese adult industry has responded to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia by doing what it does best: not with sanctions or public statements, but with a new release. Two new sex toy releases, to be exact. The Action! for Peace Vibes are two vibrators in the blue-and-yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag. More than simply a visual show of support for the people of Ukraine, though, the manufacturer says it will give a portion of the proceeds from sales of the vibrators ...

It's true that we don't talk enough about vibrators on this little blog of ours, since we tend to have our hands full covering all the latest developments in Japanese adult video, gravure, onaholes, dolls, and more. But that's not to say we aren't looking. Far from it. We recently spotted a novel series of vibrators that recall another line, the aptly named Amazing Beasts dildos by Daimaoh inspired by the genitalia of dolphins, wolves, and dragons. The Love Vibe series of toys by SSI is a colorful reinterpretation of the classic rabbit vibrator, taking the "bunny ears" part that is ...

The best kind of sex and intimacy is hands-on. Toys are great but can create extra layers of elastomer or other material between yourself and your own body, or even your hands and your partner's body. There is the risk of things becoming clumsy, clunky, or even mechanical. Sex is, after all, not like driving a car. Japan's most design-conscious adult brand, Tenga, is well aware of all this, hence it came up with the SVR vibrator series of "wearable" toys. These smoothly textured vibes have rings for slipping on a finger or two, allowing you to stimulate your partner's vagina or clitoris ...
