2013 might already be into March already but some people are still making calendars for the forthcoming year.
Buttah, a curry restaurant in central Osaka, has made this Bijin Curry Calendar, a series of alluring shots of "semi-nude" girls and, well, curry.
Formerly a photo series that featured in a Kansai fashion magazine that finished in 2010, the calendars by Buttah have been going since 2011 and increasing every year (though, to be fair, even for 2013 there are just 200 copies, so we're talking esoteric tastes here).
Food and the erotic. That's our kinda ...
We've been "investigating" another fab genre of Japanese pornography a lot recently.
Homeless porn.
Back in 2011 we saw our first title, where a young J-girl is homeless in L.A. and has to sleep with tramps to get a place to stay.
But there are many, many more.
Some take the common "girl-in-peril" motif and have the young lady being forced to undergo something that is "dirty" or humiliating, or an incredible challenge.
Often the sex is semi-public, watched by all the other homeless guys in the community.
In general, this "humiliation" style is a frequent style in many Japanese JAV ...
Masami Nagasawa, the 25-year-old actress and model who first swept onto our screens while still a young teenager, has stumbled a bit in her career of late.
Gone are the big ads and the constant magazine covers, surpassed by the foot soldiers of AKB48 and other younger models.
And she has been hitting back, doing more sexy shoots where she even -- shock! -- shows some leg!
The result is that she has matured from cute teenager into sensual woman.
Her love life has always been a secret, since she is one of those girl-next-door types for whom having a sex life would be ...
Over on Tokyo Reporter there is a cracking tale lifted from a tabloid investigation about three people being arrested in February for using subsidized housing provided to Fukushima disaster evacuees for a sex business following the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011.
Officers took sex-club manager Tsuguo Sakuma, 37, company employee Tatsuya Ishioka, 32, and Eiwa Sawara, 41 — all of whom are residents of Fukushima — into custody for allegedly using two apartments located in Chuo Ward of the city of Niigata as a dispatch area for sex workers employed at a deri heru (out-call sex) ...
Black Tights Girl is a new photo book by photographer Masaki Okado focusing on yet another fetish, sexy black stockings worn by Japanese girls.
We have recently seen a lot of these kinds of books, from twin tail ponytail girls to ones with panties on their faces. It seems the market is boundless.
Yes, the sad thing about the winter finally starting to end is that in a month or so's time, we will be seeing less and less of these kinds of stockings!
Masaki Okado has also done previous photo series on Japanese schoolgirls in summer uniforms and also girls with small ...
What is the solution to Japan's declining birth rate?
Banning abortions.
That's according to Seiko Noda, a spokeswoman for the governing Liberal Democrat Party.
There are said to be two hundred thousand abortions per year in Japan
Noda, who is divorced from another LDP politician and famously gave birth at the age of fifty after receiving donor eggs in America (this is not possible in Japan), married again recently to a man who used to run an adult website. The man changed his name to Noda's to preserve her family name, so we can guess who calls the shots in their ...
This may well be a prank but based on visuals alone, prepare to be stunned.
This young lady has had a lot of sex and isn't afraid to advertise that fact in an example of Japan's strangest (or most sexually provocative) fashion choice yet.
In the same way that native "savages" might wear the ears or other body parts of slain enemies like a trophy, this Japanese girl is wearing a sell-made skirt of condoms. Which appear to be used.
Presumably she has done things to produce the materials inside the condoms and she is wearing the unusual item of clothing accessory as a mark of ...
Yasushi Akimoto, the dictator producer behind AKB48, has made some bizarre comments during a radio interview that seems to backtrack on everything he has created in his idol army.
Following the recent outrage over Minimi Minegishi's shaven head scandal after she dared to have sex, he seems to have adopted the age-old practice of any politician -- the u-turn.
"I don't really want to say because it'll produce misunderstandings... But the ban on romance is something we use in the songs and what we say, but it's not really the case that romance is banned."
He elaborated...
"It's ...
We've long been an advocate that Haruna Kojima is one of the very few girls in the AKB48 millions who is genuinely attractive (along with the lovely Rie Kitahara!)
So here's some good news.
Haruna has been chosen by sexy Japanese lingerie brand Peach John to be their new face (and body) modeling the spring line-up.
Here she is showing off the new Workbra and also her own svelte figure (oh, and apparently trying to speak French).
Haruna's choice by Peach John also represents a victory of sorts as the lingerie maker tends to choose haafu for its models (for their exotic ...
Raku-mo, a portal for Rakuten, Japan's biggest online retailer, has a novel approach to picking out the "highlights" from all the various apparel and fashion sellers out there.
It collates various lingerie and clothes items by the images of models advertising them and then allows you to rank and rate these girls.
We like the ways you can filter searches: Highly Rated Models, New Models, Most Popular Models, Most Commented About Models...
So for all you guys out there who had their pubescent years pre-internet frantically searching their mum's clothes mail order catalogue ...
