The Japanese condom company Okamoto may make some of the best advertising in the industry -- from humping dinosaurs to condom-dispenser belts -- but it no longer has the crown of world's thinnest condom.
A court in Guangzhou’s Yuexiu District has said that Okamoto must stop using the label in its advertising, because the title of world's thinnest condoms rightfully belongs to Aoni condoms, which are made by Guangzhou Daming United Rubber Products.
Okamoto was a victim of its own success. If you make enough of a fuss about a claim, invariably there is going to be someone who got ...
Only yesterday we were pondering if wearing a mask makes you less attractive and then we see this!
Remember Hentai Kamen, the strange manga about the panties-masked "superhero" that was made into a film in 2013?
Yes, that Hentai Kamen where the character's groin has the power to block phone signals, obstruct camera lens and even blaze light to punish the selfish members of the audience. Well, not really. But the crime-fighting man is back.
Yes, folks, the exhibitionist pervert with muscles returns with a new movie in 2016! Hentai Kamen Abnormal Crisis opens in May.
Here's the ...
People in Japan like to wear masks, especially in the flu and hayfever seasons.
Does it make a woman look more mysterious, hiding half a face? Or is she spoiling her charming looks?
We know of a Japanese woman whose face we have never fully seen because she is always wearing a face mask. However, what we can see is always stunning, so the mask is both frustrating and tantalizing.
Apparently this is a question serious enough for academics to do research over.
Folk from the University of Hokkaido and Nagoya’s Chukyo University set out to find out if wearing a mask made you ...
What is it about Tenga that seems to inspire Japanese people to make robots?
About a year ago a minor meme on the Japanese Twittersphere involved posting self-created visions of a mecha robot that could transform into a Tenga onacup.
That was apparently (and bizarrely) related to Valentine's Day. White Day (where the men give women gifts in Japan) saw a new meme, this time mecha robots inspired by the Iroha vibrator.
Now for 2016 along comes @ZMD11S, who hasn't simply drawn or planned a Tenga robot model: he (we are assuming he's male) has built one!
Sadly it's not an actual ...
The actress and model Nanao is known for her leggy charms, "bitchy" persona that she acts up in most dramas and TV commercials she appears in, and her catchy one-word soubriquet that most people seem familiar with these days.
Her vixen reputation already seems to dictate TV drama story arcs: surely it was the reason why she was asked to pose for a long scene in just her lingerie?
How calculated are her career moves? Well, she has taken things to the next provocative level now with this share on her Instagram page, which has a million followers.
Apparently taken by her mom (okay, ...
The Japanese zentai bodysuit fetish is gradually getting better known.
Here is a great way in which the originally little-known subculture can become something new.
Yuzuru Maeda is a Japanese artist living in Singapore. Despite the latter's reputation for being strait-laced, Maeda has turned to zentai to create the Zentai Art Project, a series of video and dance works that use zentai motifs.
The video document a series of happenings with performers in Lycra suits, such as this one.
Some are more like strange music videos.
Maeda also outlines a nice history ...
We only just got over that nude Twitter schoolgirl goddess from last week, now along comes a slightly older but no less seductive entry in the burgeoning canon of Japanese nude selfies.
The tribes of nymphomaniacs have been joined by this office lady.
This twentysomething amateur has posted some delightful pics of herself slowly stripping off her OL wear, sliding off her slinky black tights and her skirt, and pulling up her top to show us her breasts.
Finally the slender girl starts fingering herself, showing us glimpses of her hairy muff. Sadly we don't get to see what's underneath ...
Has Rino Sashihara gone too far this time?
In her new photo book released on March 22nd, Sashihara is basically naked, showing off her ass.
So far, the reaction online has been mixed, with some excitement mixed with anger that another AKB idol has stepped over a line. The debate has centered on if she is wearing panties or not. Is there a thong between her buttocks?
The man-eater is already notorious for her exile from AKB to the HKT48 sister group for having sex with a fan.
Sashihara's new photo book doesn't yet have an official title but we expect it will break ...
LDP lawmaker Kensuke Miyazaki (35) was lauded by many for his admirable decision to take parternity leave and set an example for men in Japan. Miyazaki was the first politician to take paternity leave in Japan.
Not only that, his wife is fellow LDP politician and Lower House member Megumi Kaneko.
Back in December he said: “I wanted to take a step toward changing our society in which male participation in child-rearing is significantly underdeveloped and women alone are saddled with its duties.”
So a devoted husband and crusader for female empowerment, then? Not ...
Rental companion services have been around in Japan for a long time, but occasionally a new service or some news appears.
Ria Kare offers to cheer up the lonely ladies of Nagoya, starting at ¥5,000 an hour (actually cheaper than most host or hostess clubs).
For some apparently random reason, it got an arbitrary write-up by the "wacky-Japan" bloggers at RocketNews 24, so we thought we'd followed suit.
The demographic is certainly interesting here. You can choose a male rental companion aged as wizened as 57, so it's not just the stereotypical flashy young host types.
The ...
