Remember how we blogged about Soineya in Akihabara in 2012? It's the "bed-sharing" facility where you can get to snuggle up with a cute girl for some shut-eye... charged by the hour.
About this time last year Soineya opened its second store in Shinjuku's Kabukicho and caused a stir with its new service: Oshiri-makura, ass pillow.
As you know, we like Japanese girls' asses.
It's still there in Shinjuku, though the "menu" of girls hasn't been updated in over a year. We couldn't resist blogging again about this truly awesome service. This is what you will look like...

"A hard day’s grind for porn’s professionals," as the newspaper has it. The Japan Times has posted a nice, long article about shooting a Japanese porn film.
As bloggers who have experienced some Japanese porn shoots ourselves, we were particularly interested in the article.
It starts with a factoid we have long boasted of...
Japan comes in a distant second in per-capita spending ($157 in 2011) on pornography after voracious South Korea ($527), but when it comes to comparing the sizes of the countries’ homegrown porn industries, there’s no contest. So prominent is Japanese ...
Saeko. The cute little minx was famous for being famous a while back. Then she was famous being a famous baseball player's wife. Then she was famous for divorcing the famous baseball player. Then she was just famous. Kind of.
Now she is reinventing herself. She has just released a "semi-nude" sexy photo book this month, Episode 1, which comes after Saeko Snap! last year. Both feature a lot of flesh, confirming our suspicions that Saeko is not just a gold-digging ditzy tarento who may or may not have had plastic surgery.
She married Yu Darvish in 2007; it was of course a shotgun ...
They say that Japanese girls have no ass but we think that's time to set the record straight.
This is a country FULL of great asses. You just have to know where to look.
Have we convinced you yet?!

She is the woman of many names and many occupations. Elly Akira is a Japanese porn star who also went by the name of Yuka (Yuuka) Osawa. Now she stars in porn under the name Eri Arai. Following us so far?
She's half Japanese, half Syrian. If that wasn't special enough, she is also an award-winning artist, photographer, writer, and businesswoman. Oh, and she has another name: Fareeza Terunuma.
It's under this name that she takes part in art shows and has now launched a new career as a music star.
Her first single is called "Kakkoii" (Cool) and is under yet another moniker, Terunuma ...
We all love the wacky kawaii-ness that is Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. She's like Harajuku on LSD and we also know about her more risque past as a child idol!
Now she has stepped over a certain line and we're not sure what to make of it.
While performing one of her songs on NHK's New Year music bonanza Kohaku Uta Gassen, she revealed she has something strapping between her thighs.
Between her chaste, cutesy legs we found... a beefy black man!
And is it just us or has the guy got an erection?
Still... who can blame him?!
We wonder if Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is ...
We always get excited about new Tenga products.
Japan's most stylish adult sex toys brand, Tenga is more corporate than it was before. It is now owned by DMM and used Dentsu for its marketing. It is also working with overseas distributors more and more, and we just hope it doesn't lose its cool willingness to be daring while also making commercially viable adult merchandise.
It has been branching out from just toys for the boys recently. It started with the Iroha and the Iroha Mini, Tenga's first vibrators for women.
They seem to have developed a hankering for this kind of sex ...
He is famed as the man with the midas touch, who can make a woman orgasm just by a few expert twists of his fingers. He is Taka Kato, the biggest man in Japanese porn.
And he is throwing in the towel.
After 8,000 women and 10,000 titles to his credit (talk about notches on the bed post!), the sprightly 54-year-old is retiring from Japan's most productive industry.
Along the way he has starred in a documentary about Japanese male porn stars and produced his own finger vibrator attachment, in a dog-eat-dog competitive industry dominated by the girls -- literally, there are said to ...
Hug pillows (dakimakura) are nothing new in Japan. There is a wealth of pillows out there with cases featuring idols or in the actual body shapes of young girls.
Here's a new twist and its all a marketing stunt.
How do you make cockroaches appealing? That's the dilemma facing Gokiburi Kujo Meister, an extermination company.
It came up with a novel way to promote its services -- moe. It seems when in doubt, you can always turn to the forces of cuteness and kinkiness combined to make a new marketing campaign that at the very least will gain a response.
Gokiburi Kujo Meister has ...
A winter exhibition by publisher Dengeki Bunko started on December 28th and features over 50 examples of artwork from the publisher's line-up of manga and light novels.
One was a special section of an onsen hot spring scene with several Dengeki manga heroines.
The ladies are understandably au naturel and visitors can pose for photos while pretending to enjoy a hot soak with their favorite 2D characters.
Here's a sign saying it's okay to peek.
And you are allowed to enter the "ladies only" section of the hot spring. Clearly some people ignored the notice telling ...
