Following earlier police attention over uploading live porn, the web porn portal FC2 has been targeted again by the authorities.
Police have charged a 42-year-old male company employee living in Yamanashi Prefecture. His crime? Uploading adult videos by S1 and Moodyz to FC2.
This is the first such case in Japan of someone being charged (without arrest) for breaching copyright laws for adult materials in this way. In the past, people were first arrested on other charges, such as "assisting public indecency" or "displaying electronic recording media".
The man used multiple ...
Every few weeks an article does the rounds of the world media -- typically a translated news wire piece or something rustled up by a foreign stringer according to overseas editors' demands. The narrative is predictable. Japan is full of sexless youth; Japan is full of sexual fetishes. Japanese anime is child porn; Akihabara is a den of immorality and vice.
Of course, there are elements of truth in all of this but such nuanced, sympathetic approaches are not what gets traffic.
So you see articles like this on Deutsche Welle by Julian Ryall, saying that "Japan's 'maid cafes' [are] a cover ...
University classrooms can be dull places and most of the time, our college teacher friends tell us, the students are fast asleep during lectures.
But not so at Doshisha University in Kyoto. At least, not at Room 402 in the Ryoshinkan Hall.
Because that's where some students observed a female hottie having sex with a male peer.
Yes, right there in the large classroom -- with her bag nearby, an umbrella hanging from the desk.
The young lovers thought they were alone but were unfortunately filmed as she, cute butt and panties on show, was engrossed in sucking her partner's cock.
Now ...
The Kinugawa Hihokan (sex museum) sadly closed in December last year, making Atami Hihokan apparently the last remaining old hihokan.
While there isn't enough interest to keep these museums in business, there are still people who like the exhibits... so much so that they steal them.
It has been reported that up to seven mannequins have been stolen from the Kinugawa Hihokan premises in Tochigi.
The exhibits were made in the early 1980's and are real collector's items for their curiosity and artistic value, let alone any titillation they may also provide.
There's not much ...
While Japan remains a male-dominated society and "pleasure" tends to favor the guys first and foremost, with us ladies getting short change, there are some small sea shifts taking place.
Tenga created the stylish iroha vibe and has made female sex toys a major part of its output. Porn for women is also growing in Japan.
Likewise, we are seeing more discussion of how women can enjoy sex in the mainstream, as well as adult entertainment.
Sponsored by iroha, a screening and talk was recently held in Tokyo on this theme.
The screening was Roman porno softcore classic Yugao fujin ...
Rokudenashiko (Megumi Igarashi) continues her usual knowing, tongue-in-cheek antics.
You can now rent Japan's most controversial erotic personality, nicknamed the "vagina artist".
Following her first manga book, she is now offering a "rental" service where you can hire her for certain periods of time. This is obviously a playful take on the boyfriend and girlfriend and other "companion" rental services in Japan (not escort services -- there are plenty of those too).
Arrested for making artworks based on her own genitalia, Igarashi is currently fighting the Japanese state's ...
We've blogged before about how sexy Japanese athletes and sportswomen are.
The volleyball players are delightfully cute while para-athlete Maya Nakanishi allures.
Female bodybuilders and wrestlers have their own fetish, and have posed for hair nude shoots and appeared in porn.
Well, now we can add Tomomi Takano to this growing list.
Tomomi Takano was born in 1987 and is a professional female boxer in the super bantamweight class.
Of course, Tomomi is a femdom or tsundere fetishist's dream come true.
She is known simply as Tomomi for her modeling ...
Do you like your girls cute and sweet, or tough and bossy?
Get Japanese porn star Mana Sakura as both types of lady: kawaii and tsundere.
It's an ad campaign for Level Infinity, a gaming platform.
We guess they really know their customer demographic well. We can't imagine anything more likely to excite male gamers than a hot porn star "encouraging" you to play more.
The double entendre count goes through the roof with these four commercials (which, despite surely raising an eyebrow or something else, are even being broadcast on Japanese TV).
A seemingly naked Mana reassures ...
Following her alluring shoot for Anan magazine in 2014 and a naked turn in the movie Umi wo kanjiru toki (When I Sense the Sea, or Undulant Fever), actress Yui Ichikawa has again stripped off her clothes for a great series of images in Weekly Playboy in March this year.
Here are some of the stunning images from the shoot, plus some others we couldn't resist ...
An elementary school teacher working at a municipal school in Kobe City has been arrested under the child prostitution and child pornography law. Kazuho Sano (23) is accused of filming children at his school with his smartphone in order to "make child porn."
Sano was a temporary teacher at Kobe City Minato Elementary School. He was hired in April. He is accused of making videos with his phone camera featuring the naked bodies of children in a classroom at the Kobe school on June 25.
He is reported to admit the offense.
He allegedly filmed kids playing after school and made several ...
