Shocking. Fluorescent. Gaudy. Loud. Vular. Neon. Flashy. Tacky.
There's a lot of epithets that can be applied to this new cosplay style that is like body art on psychedelic drugs, though none of them quite capture it.
Inspired by strange characters from anime, cinema and video games, behold the new Japanese subculture of ishoku-hada.
Certain sections of the Interweb are currently abuzz with breathless talk of this bizarre body painting and cosplay niche, which literally means "unique skin" or "unusual skin".
Like an "alien" version of gyaru, ganguro or yamanba trends, women dress ...
Love her or loathe her, one thing can't be denied about the tarento and model Rola: she has staying power.
While many other minor celebrities and idols have come and gone, she has continued to dominate TV and advertising, despite only having one real shtick -- that of being a haafu and playing stupid.
She has already survived one scandal when her foreign father was arrested for fraud a few years ago.
Can she survive this one? (Spoiler: we think so.)
She recently posted a video of herself to her popular Instagram account. Nothing unusual about that. Rola has a huge following on ...
Combing the archives, we found these leaked images of some slutty Japanese ladies taking a girls' trip out to the countryside that got very dirty, very quickly.
It was clearly summer (and apparently 2011), given what they are wearing, but they weren't keen on keeping their clothes on for long.
These girls were happy to strip off for some very provocative and playful poses in a remote corner of Japan.
They show off their lovely butts and one girl even seems to take out her tampon from her pussy. Want to see some bush? Yes, two of the ladies are happy to ...
Remember the Virgin Killer Sweater?
As we wrote before, this all-in-one, insanely revealing item of clothing shot to fame when it was modelled by Jun Amaki and quickly acquired the moniker of "virgin-killing" because it was so damned hot, a virgin would melt at the sight!
But this is the first time we've seen the Virgin Killer Sweater in the wild, so to speak, though sadly it wasn't with our own eyes -- though perhaps that's for the best because we may not have been able to control ourselves.
It was spotted worn by a bold young lady sitting on the platform of the Mita Line of the ...
What do AV actresses do on their days off? This is a question we often ponder. How many of the hot ladies wandering around Shinjuku and Shibuya are actually minor porn stars doing some shopping?
We've searched the archives a bit and found this revealing gem, which offers a tantalizing hint about what some of the more adventurous ladies get up to.
In April 2015, porn performer Sara Shinomiya spent her day off having her lovely body coated in cream and other sweet things -- all for her friends to slowly lick off.
They also used some sort of sweet topping to write insults on her legs in ...
Have Japanese breasts reached a tipping point?
That's what underwear brand Triumph is suggesting in its latest Lingerie White Paper, which indicates a continuing trend towards larger busts.

Just a quick and dirty post today, indulging our tastes for vintage kink.
It's no secret that we love older stuff here, especially hair nudes and sexy shoots from the 1990s and early 2000s. Give us Rie Miyazawa's "Santa Fe" over the latest AKB48 photo book any day.
We also like to explore some of the fun, fascinating and fantastical aspects of the history of sex in Japan, from Yoshiwara to yobai night-crawling, shunga erotic prints, and no-panties shabu-shabu (yes, that really was a thing).
One of our favorite recent finds in our daily trawls through the interwebs was this vintage ...
Last week Japanese highways were in the news when a truckload of live pigs was unleashed onto one road in Osaka.
But this is a much more exciting anecdote.
Imagine you are hurtling down one of Japan's many busy highways and, as you pass another car, you happen to notice the driver and passenger engaged in something other than navigating... and it's broad daylight.
Oh, yes. This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime strokes of luck: spotting oral sex on the highway.
Not only is the female passenger giving her lucky driving companion a blow job as he powers his motor vehicle, the ...
Tenga is doing so well that it can afford to send hot girls to a customer's homes.
While that might sound like it defeats the whole purpose of a masturbation aid -- even ones as stylishly designed as Tenga -- be assured, Tenga has not branched out into prostitution and the ladies will only "dance" for customers.
Japan's Apple of the adult industry is running this Go Go Tengirls Cool Tenga campaign to promote its summer-themed range of onacups, eggs, lubricants and other toys.
The brand is asking people to tweet something with the campaign phrase and link in order to apply to take ...
They say that half the Japanese web is cats and the other half is food.
That's false: a third is cats, a third is food and the last third is various shades of porn and adult content.
So when you combine these elements, you get a recipe for a hit online or offline. For example, nyotaimori or the "condom cookbook" we featured back in 2014.
Now along comes "Painyan", a new 96-page photo book by Yuki Aoyama released on May 31st. Regular readers will recall that Aoyama is the photographer with something of an obsession with schoolgirls.
This time Aoyama has turned his lens away from ...
