Forget politics. When it comes to what's inside their pants, Chinese men are willing to forget about the ongoing Senkaku Islands dispute with Japan. Namely, hot Japanese porn stars. Sora (or Sola) Aoi is especially popular, with 13 million followers on the Chinese version of Twitter. With Japanese cars being trashed, Chinese films being withdrawn from the Tokyo International Film Festival, and trade and tourism collapsing... you might think that Sora should be worried. Apparently not. A slogan spread among Chinese men earlier this year: “The Senkaku Islands belong to us; Sora Aoi ...

One of the biggest international rows right now is the Senkaku Islands dispute between Japan and China. The Chinese have been rioting and protesting Japan's claims to the rocks in their usual unrestrained way, while over her the occasional person has spoke out, notably right-wing Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara, who at one point bizarrely tried to use public money to purchase the islands. Now Hotaru Akane, a former JAV porn star who retired in 2008 for mainstream celebrity-dom, has weighed in. Tweeting in Chinese she has said that "looking at it historically, they are Chinese" and that ...

K-Pop girl group KARA were asked at a recent press conference what they thought about Takeshima/Dokdo. Naturally, not being politicians, it is unfair to call on them in this way... but journalists are cruel and cannot resist stirring up a hornet's nest. KARA are on of several K-Pop bands who are active in Japan and have fans are both sides of the ocean. A wrong word on these thorny issues can alienate people forever. Korean actors and music artists who work in Japan have been submitted to this trial recently, compared to "fumi-e" -- where in the Tokugawa period, Shogunate ...

As much as we love Korea, K-Pop, Korean food and Korean girls, the continuing furore over the island of jagged rocks that is Takeshima/Dokdo has been causing some upsetting silliness over on the peninsular. Now an internet has put up a sign in Korean and (bizarrely) English stating its refusal to allow Japanese would-be netizens from entering the premises. Both Korean and Japanese online observers have been quick to point out that if the sign is not in Japanese, people will not understand it -- or just won't think to read it. The sign displayed proudly at the internet cafe in ...

Our favorite Korean sexy ladies, the indubitable and undefeatable Girls' Generation (aka Shojo Jidai or SNSD) are going to perform tonight on the CBS talkshow, "The Late Show with David Letterman". It's apparently the first Korean music act to appear on mainstream American television! Their five-minute set will feature "The Boys" (in English!), the title song of their third full length album. AKB48, eat your hearts out! The gals with the long legs are in charge and all your moe antics count for nothing against pure, unrestrained female sexiness! Japanese pop stars better start ...

Is it the tattoos or that look she gives at the end? Or that cute-as-hell pair of panties she is wearing? I don't know but we've fallen in love with this lady. Who is she?!! If anyone can identity this stunning girl we'll be over the moon. We're guessing she's not Japanese due to the tattoos and her mannerism, but she could be Japanese American. Thanks to one of our readers, we could identify her as the model Levy Tran, who later starred in Fast and Furious ...

We really, really tried to resist the temptation to post something facile and silly about the recent demise of Kim Jong-il. As you can see, after much inner wrangling... we failed spectacularly! Having been married several times and fathered numerous kids, it's no secret that Jong-il had an eye for the ladies... No prizes for guessing the next leader. But did you know Kim Jong-il had a second job as a DJ? [See more of this great series here.] Funny how so many in his country lacked food and yet their leader always seemed so well-fed. Who says the North ...

Economic conditions can have unexpected results. Any nighttime wanderer up Shibuya's Dogenzaka, passing the eateries, convenience stores and family restaurants, may have been approached by woman -- not usually the youngest -- asking if they want a "massage". Of course, this actually means a handjob or blow job, or maybe even full service. They hang around in small groups; sometimes a sleazy pimp is nearby. The fact that they are even asking white foreigners shows that the recession is taking its toll. And I've always loved that the police station is in full sight and no one does a ...

Across the water in the Korean peninsular, it seems that even in the world's most secretive state eros is playing her part in the revolution. In some North Korean cities there are bars for leading labor and public safety body officials. However, these aren't just any boring drinkery. The female staff strip for the chiefs and recently there are even female university students who are willing to sell themselves so that they have the money to afford mobile phones. According to informed sources north of the border, last year in Pyongyang, a man took marijuana and then had group sex ...

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 ...
