Vintage Japanese sex guide for youngsters from 1960s Japan
December 3, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Some generous soul has unearthed a copy of an old Japanese sex guide for youngsters. And what a find it is.
The first thing to note about The Young Person’s Guide to Sex is the hairy armpit on the cover. Different times, different attitudes, folks.
Dating back to the 1960s, young people could read this handy guide to learn such important things as how to hold hands with your partner.
Apparently such activities as shining your man's shoe or combing your lady's hair were also part of the courtship ritual back then.
And then there was the nose-touching and chin-stroking.
The ...
An otaku takes his air doll on a date to Asakusa

We've just discovered @toto_sh1, who is a "self-proclaimed photographer". Well, plenty of those about.
But he or she has created this awesome series of an otaku taking his blow-up lover on a date to Asakusa, and we can't resist sharing.
They first set off for their adventure by riding the subway together. The other passengers seem unperturbed.
They do all the usual tourist stuff like posing at the Kaminarimon gate and take a ricksha together.
They have someone draw their caricature and enjoy an ice cream.
But it all ends in tragedy in the ...
The opening of Japan's first major public exhibition of shunga erotic prints is quite a landmark event. We finally got to go recently.
We went on a Saturday and the line to get in stretched out of the venue. They were there in their hordes: men, women, couples, foreign tourists (European, American and Asian).
Lining up, some were excited, some seemed curious -- while others appeared intellectual and austere. Inside, however, everything changed. All the faces displayed the same awe and amazement; couples exchanged looks and words ("Wow, so big"). Couples gripped each other just that little ...
Here are some nice shots of the booth babes (known as "companions" in Japanese -- if only they truly were) at the recent Tokyo Game Show.
Clearly these girls are hired for their considerable assets.

Another photo report from behind the scenes of a crazy Japanese porn shoot
September 3, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Following the previous report on the March porn shoot at an abandoned rural school, KAI-YOU has published a second behind-the-scenes photo report.
As far as we can tell (the article is written in the usual ambiguous way that certain Japanese publications like to use), this seems to be the same film ("100 People x Nakadashi") by the label Honnaka. We're not sure why there has been a second article, other than it seems to be a promo for the film as part of AV Open 2015. At any rate, this was "round two" shot on another day, featuring new "rules" in the games.
The film starred 7 ...
Is this the most amazing love hotel ever?
All right, that's a pretty bold claim. After all, there are some pretty incredible love hotels out there, from dungeons to swimming pools, and almost every kind of theme or style you could imagine in between.
But the Keibajo US in Niigata has got us excited.
Shared by @rutile_TiO on Twitter, here are some pictures from the hotel's fantastic rooms and suites.
There's a wooden classroom, a samurai sword-themed tacky "Oriental" room, a factory room, a hospital ward room (complete with two hospital beds), and ...
Behind the scenes of Japan’s “biggest” AV porn shoot in an abandoned countryside school
July 3, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
One day in March, several hundred people descended on an abandoned school deep in the Japanese countryside.
But these weren't ordinary people.
They were the hard-working folk who produce Japan's mountains of pornography.
"100 People x Nakadashi" was not set for release until September but that didn't mean the schedule wasn't tight. With so many people involved, careful planning and efficiency on the day was paramount. As with all things, the Japanese approached this with superb organization.
We weren't there -- but KAI-YOU was and these are their nice pictures.
Like a lot ...
A visit to Ganguro Cafe in Shibuya, the gyaru girls cafe-bar
May 31, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
People are saying that gyaru are a dying breed. The fashion subculture is disappearing, with the magazines closing and the brands changing. Certainly we don't see as much gyaru porn as we used to, which is a shame. Rumika, where are you?!
Kai-You recently paid a visit to the Ganguro Cafe, which is a space dedicated to the "black gals" with super tans. Of course, it's in Shibuya, the gyaru and kuro-gyaru mecca.
This cafe-bar is bucking the trend. It was opened by new ganguro gal unit Black Diamond in January this year and is determined to promote gyaru culture, in ...
Take three male virgins.
Put them in a room with three top Japanese porn stars.
And you have the best group date ever.
That's just what Soft on Demand did a little while ago.
The virgins initially wore masks to protect their identities from the camera, though one of the participants was apparently 55 years old so consigned himself just to donning shades.
The three lovely ladies were: Mana Sakura (21 years old), Iori Kogawa (22 years old), and China Matsuoka (20 years old).
What would you talk about if you had a dinner date with these three ...
Niconico Chokaigi 2015 cosplayers: Cute, cute, cute!
April 28, 2015

After witnessing the femdom butt-kicking action of idol Hitomi Nogata, we return to highlight some ladies from Niconico Chokaigi 2015.
The event is kind of a tech and otaku bonanza, organized by Niconico, a video streaming platform.
This year's event was held over two days on April 25th-26th and was the biggest yet. Visitors numbered over 150,000!
This being Japan, naturally that included a lot of cute cosplayers...
There were also some colorful (or should that be scary?) male cosplayers.
