The stalker who stabbed music idol Mayu Tomita may have appeared anonymously in Japanese porn as an uncredited, amateur performer.
The 27-year-old Tomohiro Iwazaki stabbed the underground idol in around 20 places with a 8.2cm knife after taking the bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo to wait at a station near where she was holding a concert.
Tomita reminds in critical condition while Iwazaki is in police custody. The case has generated a storm of negative press about the police response and Japan's problem with stalking. After the horrific murder in 2013 of high-school student Saaya ...
AKB48's latest dubious attempt to exploit money from otaku fans is really scraping the bottom of the ludicrous barrel.
Now there is going to be an online claw crane game called Kami no Te (Hand of God) from June 18th that allows you to win cans of air.
Yes, you read that right. The prize for downloading and playing the game is Bakukan, which is literally a can filled with air. The precious ether is supposedly taken from the air on the stage at the AKB48 45th single release election event. So you are getting the air shared by your favorite idol, whether that be Yuki Kashiwagi, Rino ...
This cute Japanese office lady decided to prank her colleague... or otherwise satisfy her own kinky desires.
She made an ordinary Japanese onigiri (rice roll) with her hands. But that was just the first one.
No, she wanted to give her onigiri something extra for her second attempt. She decided to mold it with her armpit.
To be fair to the fastidious folks out there now screwing up their faces in disgust, she did wipe her sweaty armpit first so as to avoid any serious hygiene issues.
She then squashed the unsuspecting ball of rice under her arm. The sticky rice, though, ...
Do you like them older?
They don't get much older and sultrier than Seiko Matsuda. The singer and Japan's greatest jukujo (MILF) has been married three times and continues to raise eyebrows even as her flower gets riper and riper.
She has been showing off her glamorous bust for the lingerie maker Triumph in a new TV ad. She may well be in her mid-fifties now but Seiko's still got it where it counts.
Would you like to get "floral" with Seiko? After all, she is the "eternal idol" who never seems to get old (with a little help from the surgeon's knife, we suspect, and ...
Former AKB48 idol Minami Takahashi may well be 25 years old and no longer tied to the group's (fake and probably illegal) rules against dating.
But that hasn't stopped the outrage when she was spotted out on a date with an employee of an IT company, who is 15 years her senior.
She graduated AKB48 in April on her 25th birthday. Perhaps the reason she actually left was she couldn't wait to enjoy herself with her squeeze?
They were photographed enjoyed a date in central Tokyo late one night in mid-May, heading to Minami's condo, where they confined themselves for two ...
Anyone interested in Japanese sex dolls, love hotels and sex museums (hihokan) should check out this upcoming exhibition by photographer Kyoichi Tsuzuki.
Kyoichi Tsuzuki is famous for his photo-books that examine the seedier elements of Japan, such as Tokyo Right Half, Love Hotel: Satellite of Love, and Hihokan. His most popular book is perhaps Tokyo Style and his counter-guide book "roadside" series that showcases unusual sights found while travelling.

How to solve a problem like a hotel shortage? Simple. Convert love hotels.
After all, if media reports are to be believed, Japan is sexless and the love hotels are not being used by couples, but rather ordinary businessmen.
Tokyo is currently experiencing a massive tourist boom and it has led to numerous new hotels springing up, especially in Shinjuku. But it is still not enough, particularly as the government wants the inbound tourist numbers to continue growing as we head towards the 2020 Olympics.
According to a Kyodo News article, the government wants love hotels to provide ...
Japan's best-known adult brand, Tenga, has once again inspired some nice cosplay.
There's something about the vibrant colors and naughtiness of the Tenga onacup that seems to capture people's imaginatinon, from porn star Mana Sakura to ordinary costumers on the streets during Halloween.
This time it's Minami Iida (aka Gohan-chan) who has transformed herself into an "anthropomorphized" Tenga. She posted the results online earlier this month.
Note the hairpiece, comprising an onacup and Tenga eggs. She even has mini onacup earrings!
For comparison, this is what the ...
Imagine being so desperate for a boyfriend that you turn to crowd funding to hunt for one? Yes, you open up yourself to the perils of the internet to provide that special one and even fund your date.
Tomoko Takebe is one such person.
This lonely single Japanese lady is 178cm tall, which apparently makes her a little imposing for some local men.
The determined 26-year-old lady turned to crowd funding to raise ¥260,000. In the end, her campaign successfully raised almost ¥550,000 from 72 backers!
She works as a model for a photo stock service so she's certainly not ugly by ...
The 2016 Tokyo Rainbow Pride (TRP) march was held on May 8th and with other events all weekend long celebrating sexual minorities.
On the Sunday some 5,000 LGBT people and supporters walked between Harajuku and Shibuya, accompanied by 18 floats -- the most ever in the history of TRP. The event was centered on Yoyogi Park in Shibuya ward, which has established itself as a gay-friendly neighborhood after it became the first government in Japan to offer some sort of legal recognition of same-sex couples.
The revellers were joined by Caroline Kennedy, US ambassador to Japan, along with ...
