Sony has been running a campaign recently in which sexy girls dance all around Japan's 47 prefectures.
The aptly named Headphone Girls 47 has proved a popular hit with, well, guys.
Here are some nice ladies from Wakayama.
Well, Kotaku recently interviewed three lovely lasses from this campaign -- and all in rather fetching Santa gear!
We thought the perfect way to wish our loyal readers a Happy Christmas was by posting some wonderful pictures of the trio.
The three ladies are Gifu's Yuuna Nagai...
Aichi's Rinka Nishizawa...
and Matsue, ...
It's Christmas Eve in Japan.
While the 25th itself is not so special, Eve is what it's all about.
Along with Valentine's Day, this is THE day for couples to go on dates and... well, you know how dates usually end. Yep, getting a love hotel on December 24th can be a chore.
Another unusual custom is the obsession with KFC.
The fast food chain started marketing fried chicken to Japanese locals as a Christmas food years ago and it has really caught on. There is not a chance you can land some Kentucky chicken on December 24th without a prior reservation.
Look out for the big lines of ...
It's no secret that there's a lot of cum in Japanese porn.
From the ubiquitous bukkake face shot to whole "drinking semen" epics, Japanese guys like their spunk on the ladies.
Well, Japanese porn studio RADIX decided to recruit the semen of fans for JAV star Uta Kohaku's next film.
A pretty neat way not only to generate publicity and interest in the upcoming title -- but also save on expenses! (Most JAV use bukkake lotion and cream when their team's supplies run low after a long day's, ahem, shoot.)
The filming took place yesterday and so this was when Uta got to see ...
Although this time it's not due to a sex scandal, AKB48 will be losing another of its main members at some as yet to be disclosed time in the future.
The lovely Tomomi Kasai (21) has announced her "graduation" from the Akiba idol super group. Her first solo single Masaka is also set for release on December 26th.
A veteran of the all-consuming, all-conquering band since 2006, she is now the ninth member to attempt a career outside of the group.
With the main members now seemingly dropping like flies, who will be next?! I guess they are all watching Atsuko Maeda's progress ...
Feeling lonely and in need of some physical stimulation? But want some stimulation for your imagination too?
You can get a Tenga delivered to you at an address of your choice by a "cute girl" on December 20th.
The Tenga Express deal is limited to just 20 people in the Tokyo area.
Fast-witted readers will have spotted that Thursday December 20th is not Christmas, nor is it in fact any sort of special day. So why that day? Well, this time of year there are lots of company events and bounenkai end-of-year parties in the capital.
We reckon it will be popular as an ironic present to bosses ...
Just when you felt you needed a dose of untalented doll-like gaijin celebrity idol, along comes one to fulfill your desires. Yes, Leah Dizon is back, folks!
After a minor career in Gravure idoldom, singing and TV appearances, Leah got herself pregnant, quit the entertainment world -- before landing a quickie divorce and heading home to America at the end of 2010. There were even rumors that she would do a porno but alas, these proved unfounded.
Now Leah (26) is back, signaling the renaissance of her career in that customary modern day style by announcing this on her blog.
knock, ...
Tenga is a global brand now widely available around the world.
But this isn't a company that's only obsessed with money alone. It is interested in innovation, which is why it also holds art exhibitions and music events -- and also launched this special Respect Yourself range for World AIDS Day on December 1st.
The line-up of designer onacups includes collaborations with fashion brands (Opening Ceremony, Married to the Mob etc) and even artists like Makoto Aida (an artist no stranger to masturbation -- he once filmed himself jerking off in his gallery and exhibited as an ...
They say you should age gracefully. Not so for Yume Yashiro, the Japanese MILF (or jukujo) who shows no signs of slowing down as she gets older.
If you ever wonder what happens to the thousands of Japanese adult movie actresses after they pass their "prime", then Yume Yashiro and her ilk are good indications that there is life well after forty. Or fifty. Or even for men approaching eighty!
Japanese jukujo (mature ladies) are seriously hot, that's no secret. From the likes of scintillating older actresses like Kyoka Suzuki, Hitomi Kuroki and Aya Sugimoto, to porn stars like Kimika ...
A Japanese weekly tabloid, Shukan Bungei, has published a story saying that comedian Shingo Fujimori saying that he got a fashion model pregnant and then forced her to have an abortion, then paying her ¥3.5 million (over $40,000) to keep her quiet.
The tabloid claimed that his agency leaked the story to try to overshadow the "scandal" over Fujimori's relationship with TBS announcer Minami Tanaka, though surely it just makes his reputation look even worse.
At a recent press conference for an ad campaign he was fronting, Fujimori apologized for the trouble he had caused everyone and ...
Noriko Sakai, the former popular singer and tarento whose career was ended a few years ago by the shocking revelation that she and her then husband were drug fiends, is currently trying to make a comeback following a spell in prison.
She faces big problems, not least the distrust of the public, broadcasters and the all important corporate sponsors. She is also laced with billions of yen in debt from her previous agency due to repayment of fees from sponsors for breaking contracts.
She is appearing in a play this December, which should give her some money, though it is said not to be ...
