Ah, springtime. A season for the sakura cherry blossom. For those debauched hanami picnics in parks that are great opportunities for hooking up and meeting friends of friends who become lovers.
Well, the bloom has come a little early this year in Tokyo but it looks like the peak will be spoiled by rain anyway.
So much for going outdoors and enjoying what promised to be the first true post-Covid hanami season (during the waves of the pandemic, the authorities made rather redundant gestures toward social distancing by closing off parts of parks, which generally just meant that determined ...
International Women's Day is celebrated in all kinds of ways and you often see marches in Japan, where women certainly need more advocates.
Our friends at Kanojo Toys, the biggest online Japanese adult toys store shipping globally, have told us that they are marking the occasion with a sale.
You can get 20% off ANY adult toy until March 9 by using the code IWD.
Of course, since the day is meant to be all about celebrating women, you could get something to reward female pleasure.
The team at Kanojo Toys recommend the Real Deal Skin Dildo, a fantastically realistic and large Japanese cock ...
Japan is famously, perhaps infamously, a land of few condom users.
To the chagrin of brands like Okamoto and Sagami, especially because they produce some the thinnest and best-quality condoms in the world, couples tend to prefer the classic pulling-out technique to safe sex that lets you finish inside.
And it's one reason there are a lot of shotgun weddings, especially among celebrities (for whom, it is seemingly the only way to get out of their contracts). Oh, and rampant syphilis.
But will the guys start wearing condoms during masturbation?
If that sounds like an oxymoron, we mean this: ...
Our friends over at Kanojo Toys, the internet's largest source of Japanese adult items shipped globally, are having a sale for Valentine's Day.
Starting this week and running through Valentine's Day, you can get 20% off any order with the (appropriately chosen) promo code "Love."
Since this is the season for romance and giving gifts, you could check out their range of toys for couples and for women -- and REALLY surprise (and please) your partner this Valentine's Day.
On the other hand, we've always been big believers in the idea that Valentine's Day should be about self-love, and Kanojo ...
It's become one of the staple elements of the Valentine's Day season in Japan.
While the department store tills ring cheerfully with the sound of yen being exchanged for boxes of chocolates in all shapes and sizes, perhaps especially so in Japan where there is a somewhat redundant custom of giving chocolates not just to your partner but also all your coworkers, we are always pleased to see what Tenga does this year.
We can't remember when they started doing it but we love the idea that the country's most successful adult brand, which is best known for its male masturbation toys, produces ...
We think the Japanese adult industry has a thing for Makoto Shinkai.
The anime director's work has served as inspiration for toys and porn.
In addition to a porn parody starring Ayane Suzukawa, Your Name. was reimagined as an onahole a few years ago by Tama Toys, soon followed by yet another pocket pussy by a different maker.
Shinkai's next anime, Weathering With You, was the source for Tama Toys' aptly named bondage-themed Toilet Bowl With You Onahole.
It also inspired an adult video called Pussy with You, starring Aoi Kururugi, plus an "ejaculation app" called Masturbation with ...
The Punitto Real is a series of softly textured, realistic dildos by Japanese adult brand PPP. These are generally handheld cock toys with suction cups, but a new entry in the series radically changes the whole format -- and lets you ride it to heaven and back.
The Punitto Real Dildo Large Flatbed Cock Dildo boasts a design that we reckon should become a standard for others in the industry.
The flexible erect penis protrudes from the slender body of the base. You can stroke and hold the subtly shaped penis, fingering its cute little glans and veins, or the balls that are integrated ...
Known for creating the most stylish and best-designed adult toys in Japan (and the world), Tenga is also one of the most innovative when it comes to marketing.
It loves to make seasonal products and campaigns, and we don't just mean holding a sale or putting together some themed packaging.
For example, it regularly offers chocolates in Tenga Cups for Valentine's.
It's currently offering a special New Year's Tenga set, inspired by Japanese traditions.
The brand has sold such sets since 2017. This year's comes in a wooden box with decorative paper, housing a Premium Tenga Original Vacuum ...
Our good friends at Kanojo Toys are now running a sale for New Year, offering 20% off any order through January 4. Just use the promo code "Happy" to claim your discount.
We figured now was also a good time to take a look back at the year's slate of toys.
And what a year. Frankly, there were so many toys we couldn't keep up. By our count, Kanojo Toys alone added over 2,700 products!
Some of our favorites include the new series from Tenga, the Tenga Bobble, a gel-type masturbator.
One of the most striking and original toys came out toward the end of 2022: the Grasp Heart Masturbator by ...
Sure, if you want attractive design in the universal sense, you turn to Tenga. But if you want real innovation -- design that makes you sit back and go, huh?! -- you look to Tama Toys.
From grenades to bullets and toilet bowls, there's almost nothing that Tama Toys won't take inspiration from in its noble quest to product sex toys that feel great.
Its latest groundbreaking design is the Grasp Heart Masturbator, which, as the name suggests, resembles a human heart.
Despite the red color, there's no blood or romance. Just pure pleasure.
You lube up and slide your cock between the left and ...
