The podcast (and YouTube series) Abroad in Japan has uploaded a new episode that we think will interest Tokyo Kinky readers.
It's called "5 ways to make a great first impression on Japanese women!" -- but also includes "five incredibly bad ones."
Naturally, this is all according to a foreigner, so some may well disagree with the suggestions, but all tips are surely welcome in this dating landscape so blighted by the pandemic.
We won't expound on them all here, since we reckon it's worthwhile that readers listen to the 40-minute episode themselves, but fear not, they are relatively ...
Like a lot of gravure idols recently, RaMu has taken to YouTube to connect directly with fans and also occupy herself during downtime (which the coronavirus pandemic is generating a lot of for precariously employed models and idols).
These days, gradols are YouTubers, and one video that RaMu uploaded at the end of 2020 is gaining some traction (over 360,000 views and counting).
In it, 23-year-old RaMu talks about the secrets of how a gravure photo shoot works. It is all in Japanese but she has some illustrative props.
These include panties with see-through string so that the model can ...
Right now, tourist resorts deserve our pity. Things were going so well for them until the start of 2020, after which visitors to Japan plummeted (and are now exactly zero, because the borders are closed). Even domestic tourism has dropped after the summer-autumn campaign launched by the government resulted in a spike in coronavirus infections.
Onsen hot springs are famously erotic places. They are not just where you go to get clean. You go to bathe with people -- ideally a member of the opposite sex. Sharing a hot spring bath together is a very sensual, sexual experience, and you haven't ...
Fan adaptations of manga and anime franchises are a major part of Japanese subcultures, most notably in doujinshi. But fan fiction is not always liked by the original creators, especially when it is depicting beloved characters in sexually explicit settings.
As one of the most popular and obsessed-about franchises, Evangelion has attracted plenty of such fan fiction and doujinshi attention. And given the popularity of the female character Rei Ayanami, who is regarded as a sex symbol by many, it is inevitable that Evangelion fan fiction is often sexual explicit -- or, in another cadence, ...
Despite having some of the thinnest and best condoms in the world, use of contraception in Japan remains relatively low, resulting in frequent shotgun weddings -- including high-profile celebrities.
As such, Japan's two main condoms brands -- Sagami and Okamoto -- try all sorts of novel marketing campaigns to encourage couples to use their products.
The latest comes from Sagami, known for its 0.01 mm condoms and Keith Haring art condoms. The manufacturer hired gravure idol Airi Shimizu as its twelfth brand ambassador.
The news was announced in mid-December.
Specifically, Shimizu -- a firm ...
The exact nature of the age of consent in Japan is something that crops up conversations about the country, and people often seem unsure of the facts.
As the Asahi clarifies, "anyone having sex with a minor under 13 can be arrested for statutory rape under the Criminal Law, but charging someone with sex crimes for having intercourse with a person over the age of 13 requires proof of violent action or threats."
Japan's law on consent is over a century old, though a revision in 2017, in an effort to protect vulnerable minors, made it a crime for guardians to have sex with a child under 18 ...
The singer and actress KOM_I is known for her provocative career choices, from doing lesbian sex scenes in the Netflix show Followers to releasing nude photo shoots not once -- but twice. Somewhat queasily yet erotically, one of the shoots even involved blood and knives in addition to her pale, naked flesh.
The 28-year-old Wednesday Campanella singer has now shed her clothes again for a photo shoot for Vogue Japan, the highlights of which she posted on her own Instagram account a few days ago.
The shoot has KOM_I nude in a garden, facing off against a classic sculpture while wearing a gold ...
Japan has a declining population. The government, in all its wisdom, has decided to do something about this.
Helping women maintain careers after giving birth? Fixing the toxic work culture that requires gruelingly long hours and male-dominated management?
That can wait. The government is hoping robots will fix things.
As recently reported in the mainstream media, the government plans to allocate a whopping ¥2 billion next year for giving out to local authorities that implement programs where residents find love -- assisted by artificial intelligence.
In fact, about half of the ...
The fashion model Koki, the daughter of Takuya Kimura and singer Shizuka Kudo, continues to make a splash.
Despite being only 17 years old, she has posed half-naked for the January issue of Elle Japon magazine.
The highly sexualized and provocative shoot features Koki striking poses with her legs and thighs exposed. In one photo, she is nude from the waist up, her modesty protected by a bag held against her breasts.
We are hardly what you could call conservative, given the kind of themes and content we explore, but we do wonder what her parents, for all their status and experience in the ...
Sumire Yokono of NMB48, the Osaka sister group of AKB48, is celebrating her nineteenth birthday with a braless photo shoot.
Yokono has a hot, slinky body that is sensual and leggy that belies her youth. But we've so far only seen her in lingerie or swimwear.
Now she's gone semi-nude for her first photo book, "Anata no yoko no" (literally, Next to You -- but also a play on her name, meaning "Your Yokono"), which was shot in the sunnier climes of Okinawa and comes out on December 16 in Japan -- shortly after Su-chan's nineteenth birthday (meaning she was a comely 18 when the photos were ...
