We've long been talking about the apparent imminent demise of fake deai-kei ("encounter") websites, which promise liaisons with members of the opposite sex but seem mostly just to take your money.
There seem to be new cases of fake sites appearing in the news every few weeks. Surely, with such bad publicity, people will just stop signing up to the services soon?
Another example of the dangers has been revealed in the case of the Chiba company managing a members-only deai-kei site with men pretending to be women.
The site had 2.7 million members nationwide, of whom only one was ...
In the latest development in Japan's attempts to deal with the phenomenon of revenge porn, things have taken an unusual turn. We readily associate revenge porn with men -- but female partners can also be vengeful.
Japanese police have arrested a 25-year-old woman who attempted to exhort money from an ex-lover. She cut his clothes with scissors and took a nude picture of the man, demanding ¥2 million (about $17,000) in cash in exchange for not putting the images online.
Maki Oji, a company employee from Shinjuku, cut up the clothes and took the nude photos of the man from September 30th ...
Evangelion and Rei Ayanami is one the pinnacles of otaku fantasy.
So anything involving lingerie maker Peach John and Evangelion is surely going to get some juices flowing, especially when the model is haafu Elaiza Ikeda.
Behold: the Peach John Evangelion Eva lingerie.
There are five colors available for the Peach John Evangelion Eva bra sets, plus three colors for the Lance of Longinus bra, and numerous other items like nighties and Pen-Pen pajamas.
The items can be reserved from October 5th. Like previous Sailor Moon Bandai-Peach John collaboration (memorably ...
So apparently someone has figured out how unlock the security of your phone -- using recognition of your butthole.
Go Hatori already proved that it was possible to unlock your iPhone with your nipple.
But now he was gone one step further -- or backwards, if you like.
For reasons surely unfathomable to the majority of people, he set out to make his iPhone unlock through recognizing the dimensions of his anus.
He succeeded.
We love buttholes. We love phones.
But together? Beyond the obvious question of hygiene, we're not sure if this is practical. What do you do ...
After the recent court ruling against the underage idol who "broke" her contract and had a relationship, and the ruling in favor of the hostess who had a long-running affair with a client, there have been some interesting legal developments in Japan of late.
Now a woman who refused to take part in a porn shoot and was sued for ¥24 million (over $200,000) for breach of contract by the production company has won her case.
The court in Tokyo ruled that the "nature of the work is one that you cannot force someone to do it against their will".
The judge threw out the production ...
Nippon.com, normally a fairly austere and academic online publication, has published an article by sociologist Suzumi Suzuki, in which she discusses her fieldwork about adult video and role play in the porn world.
Suzuki starts out with a very positive view of her subject matter:
AV actresses are surprisingly articulate when asked to talk about themselves. In the videos by which they make a living, as well as in magazines and other media, they calmly field personal questions of all kinds and narrate their personal stories smoothly and eloquently.
To a large extent, this is a skill they ...
People in their forties and older can get romantic too, you know. And we know that older Japanese women still look amazing.
To celebrate the 50th volume of Tasogare Ryuuseigun (Like Shooting Stars in Twilight) by Kenji Hirokane, a popular manga (adapted for TV), Shogakukan has created a free giveaway promo item: free playing cards.
Kind of like Last Tango in Halifax in manga form, the protagonists of Tasogare Ryuuseigun are all middle-aged or elderly, and spend their final years determined to find their true love.
The Tasogare Ryuuseigun playing cards include 52 jukujo MILFs ...
How would you like to be the inspiration for a sex doll?
Japan's premier maker of sex dolls, Orient Industry, is currently recruiting models to be the face of the next love doll.
Your face and other body parts could well serve as the original for the next beautiful luxury companion by Orient Industry.
You need to be at least a E-cup or over (already puts you in a minority in Japan).
The modeling sessions will take place at the maker's east Tokyo factory.
The staff will be female and you are paid a generous ¥50,000 ($415) per session.
Ladies, what are you waiting ...
The first major exhibition in Tokyo or Japan of shunga has finally opened.
Shunga Exhibition has started at the Eisei Bunko Museum in Bunkyo-ku.
Celebrating the prints that were essentially Japan's first erotic art and pornography, as we reported earlier in the year this is a first for Japan because of the traditional interpretation of obscenity laws that prevent the public display of genitalia -- of which there is PLENTY of in shunga.
So the exhibition first very successfully showed in London at the British Museum, before the organizers (including former prime minister Morihiro ...
Rokudenashiko (Megumi Igarashi), the Japanese "vagina artist" accused of obscenity, has always been very business-savvy.
She has released plenty of artworks as cheap and accessible merchandise, not to mention manga, books, and even a "rental service" and sex toy. (She needs the money not least to pay for her legal fees!)
Now we are delighted that one of her books has been translated and will be published in English by Koyama Press in 2016.
What Is Obscenity? The Story Of A Good For Nothing Artist And Her Pussy is written by Rokudenashiko (Megumi Igarashi), translated by Anne Ishii, ...
