Regular readers may remember the Upskirt Umbrella from a few years back, a form of rain protection that might just get you arrested.
If you love a panchira upskirt view of a girl's panties, you are in the right country.
The latest verification of this comes from the mobile game Azur Lane, in which historical warships are played as female characters in, well, less than modest clothing.
To celebrate the game's fourth anniversary, it has launched a promo with a special noren door curtain.
Noren are the short curtains that hang in front of the entrances to restaurants in Japan.
This ...
We all know that if you want an anime girlfriend, you have plenty of options -- not least, the incredible array of dakimakura body pillows and covers available in Japan. If you want to splash out some more, there are also blow-up dolls for every taste and preference.
Of course, there are simpler delights, like posters and panels.
But what if one of those was life-size and designed to lie next to you?
Aimed squarely at otaku and harem anime fans, this Rent-A-Girlfriend erotic art panel is based on the female lead Chizuru Mizuhara.
Rent-A-Girlfriend (Kanojo, okarishimasu) is a manga, anime, ...
In a series of brief yet enlightening street interviews, actual Japanese girls reveal their answers to the personal questions we all want to ask.
How often do Japanese girls want to have sex?
What are the signs that a Japanese girl wants to have sex with you?
How much do you Japanese like having sex?
How many dates do Japanese girls want to go on before having sex?
How long do Japanese girls expect their male partners to last in bed?
And what do Japanese girls think about having sex for the first time with a partner?
So much for sexless Japanese!
The interviews were ...
A recent survey of 1,000 boys and girls in Japan aged between 17 and 19 revealed that only about a quarter had sexual experience, though more girls did than boys, but girls had more negative impressions of sex than their male counterparts.
The survey was conducted by the Nippon Foundation, which put up a detailed write-up with graphs on its multilingual online journal, nippon.com.
Overall, 23.6% of the respondents had sexual experience. A breakdown by gender found a 5% gap with 26.2% of girls and 21.2% of boys. When asked about what age they had their first sexual experience, the most ...
We were waiting with bated breath and they delivered: Tenga, Japan's top adult brand, has blasted off to the edge of space!
The whole launch of the Tenga Rocket -- part of the Space Tenga project implemented with such partners as entrepreneur Takafumi Horie -- was broadcast live online.
The MOMO6 rocket left terra firma on July 31 from the launch site in Hokkaido, achieving speeds of around 92 km some four minutes after launch and succeeding in releasing its payload. It marks the first such space launch by a private enterprise in Japan.
As previously reported, the payload was a ...
While the Tokyo Olympics enters its second week, the athletes are apparently not having sex in the Olympics Village.
But that is certainly not the case for Japanese porn stars, who are kept busy in a prodigious industry that pumps out thousands of new releases each year.
In a recent photo shoot, five top Japanese adult video stars posed nude for a "naked Olympics" in which they showed off their athletic prowess (as well as their lovely bodies).
Here is Ayaka Mochizuki doing karate.
The flexible Rui Minagawa displays her gymnastics abilities.
This is Emily (Hikari Sakuraba, Ellen ...
Japan is often praised for its minimalist design aesthetic. This is then thrown to the wind (or rather, the dogs!) when you go to a love hotel and encounter garishness that makes Gaudà architecture look positively tame in comparison.
Similarly for web design, where Rakuten rules supreme despite its utter UX clusterfuck. If Amazon is like shopping in a modern supermarket, Rakuten is like walking unprepared into a medieval souk!
But this chaotic, garish design has its own kind of aesthetic, a craftsmanship that deserves respect and generates a certain culture. Now Rakuten and love hotels are ...
It's been a long and hard journey, but the Olympics are finally opening in Tokyo today.
If you're an athlete, you will have to put up with "anti-sex" beds (not actually true!) and exhortations not to screw fellow athletes in the Olympic Village (OK, this one is sadly true). If you're one of the tens of thousands of hangers-on, you are nominally stuck in a bubble around the venues, though we have already seen plenty of people wandering around (and many more online, looking to hook up with Japanese girls easily impressed by their Olympic credentials).
We will be participating in our own ...
Every time the Olympics are held, the Olympic Village becomes infamous as a place for athletes to hook up. This year, as previously reported, such fraternizing is being discouraged and the distributed condoms are officially recommended as mementos for athletes to take home rather than use during the Games.
Not so for the tens of thousands of other people coming to Tokyo as part of the entourages.
And as Farrah Akase found, many of them are already in the city and actively going online on Bumble to find locals to hook up with. (Presumably Tinder and other apps are similar.)
Farrah ...
How old is too old? When you're an "idol," especially in the music industry, the expectation is that you must be young -- mid-twenties at most.
In a sign that makes us feel, well, old, the early members of AKB48 are now pushing three-oh, if not beyond, but are still determined to milk their fandom.
Today marks Yuki Kashiwagi's thirtieth birthday and has released a photo book, "Experience," to celebrate. It's her first photo book in nine years.
But she's no longer the sweet and innocent young girl of those previous releases; she's now an experienced woman with a body that she wants to show ...
