Ever since the scandal of designer Keijiro Sano's official 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games logo, people have been having fun with making their own versions of the troubled design. Sano's logo may or may not have been plagiarized from a Belgian source. Regardless, it became clear that Sano himself has plagiarized other materials for previous work. The internet was largely responsible or this -- netizens tracked down Sano's copies and caused a lot of the fury. Sano even deleted his social media accounts just ahead of the announcement, perhaps fearing a backlash. Though at times ...

Yes, "Ultraman porn" is a thing in Japan. Women dressed up as Ultraman-like characters (especially the Mother of Ultraman) in tight costumes and being screwed by men and other "creatures" is not just a nostalgic fantasy, it is an outright erotic fetish in its own right. Porn label GIGA likes these pastiche superhero/superheroine porn and they seem to be responsible for the unofficial Mother of Ultra porn (there may be others around). The "Giant Heroine" (Kyodai Heroine) franchise started way back in 2008 with a film starrting Nana Saeki. The most recent was in July 2015, starring Miho ...

Another month, another silly Twitter hashtag trend. In August, the Japanese Twittersphere was partly dominated by girls' legs. Similar to the previous "ShowLegsToShowSupportForSalarymen" hashtag meme, this time it was a #撫で回したくなるふとももグランプリ ("thighs you want to stroke grand prix"). We have no idea what started the meme and what it was all for, but we can't fault the results. よし!参戦!!太ももには自信アリ!!!!!🐜 #撫で回したくなるふとももグランプリ pic.twitter.com/slLvYcEpNI— ...

Watch this cross-dressing sexy version of "Let It Go", the Disney song that inspired a million karaoke renditions of greatly varying quality. The poker-face performers sing and dance to the Japanese version ("Ari no mama de"), but we think you get the general idea even if you can't understand the lyrics. Yes, it's camp. It's very camp. The choreographer and main dancer is IG, a cross-dressing performer who certainly looks better in heels that ...

Is this the hottest jazz pianist in Japan? Not only does Riyoko Takagi look more like she should be shopping at Shibuya 109 or working in a hostess bar -- enough to make her stand out from other musicians in a conservative industry -- she also plays in a bikini. The E-cup musician decided to spice up the late summer and Tokyo Jazz Festival with an outdoor performance that really flaunted her talents on the keyboard and her chest. On September 6th, heavy rain could have turned the jazz event into a wash-out but Riyoko and her white bikini drew 200 people, who huddled all ...

You can judge how well you have hit it off with a new partner as well as a lot about his or her character by how intimate you get on your first date. According to a dubious sex survey, 14.3% of Japanese women "expect" a first date to end with a sleep-over and sex. Of course, "expect" is not "want", so women are probably factoring in pressure from the man, his expectations, and also the influence of booze. The survey by My Navi is hardly represents the broadest of research: it asked just 300 women over June and July through an online survey. And of course, while 14.3% may say a ...

Mero Imai is a woman of many talents: a former snowboard half-pipe Olympic competitor, a one-time hostess and call girl, a nude model, and a bondage slave (photographically, at least). Born in 1987, Imai has posed for a hair nude shoot for her 2013 photo book "Mellow Style", as well as a series of provocative bondage images for a weekly tabloid. Alas, the images of the 2013 BDSM-inspired shoot only seem to be online as scans of the magazine. She revealed in 2012 that after her failure at the 2006 Winter Olympics, she became a ...

The fashion and lifestyle magazine Anan famously likes to put naked models and actresses on its cover. Female celebrities like Yui Ichikawa, Nanao and Maomi Yuuki and have taken their careers to new stages not by doing hair nude shoots or erotic spreads for tabloid or Gravure weekly magazines, but by tasteful yet sexy nude shoots in Anan. It also does a "sex issue" quite regularly. In the most recent one (with the lovely Jun Hasegawa on the cover) it really went back to basics: teaching people how to use vibrators, go down on a girl, and so on. We're not sure if the idea is that a ...

The web magazine Ignition had an interesting article about Daigo Igarashi, the "modern alchemist" who created the Female University Student No.10 perfume replicating the “scent of a girl”. The aroma, one of many such smell fetish items in Japan, was showcased at the Niconico Chokaigi in April. The fragrance was developed by Daigo Igarashi (also known by his handle/stage name “Hiroko Ashiyama”) who’s been busy researching the topic of “hacking the five senses.” It all started with a simple question: “Why do girls smell so nice?” which lead Mr. Igarashi to focus ...
