We love to follow the developments of Japanese lingerie brands as ersatz soft-core porn.
The best are Ravijour and Peach John.
After all, no lingerie brand that invents something that stops men from unhooking a bra if they are not the right guy for you has got to have a nice sense of humor.
But we are sad to see that Ravijour has moved away from Japanese models!
In the past, our jaws have dropped at the hot ladies modeling their latest lingerie, including Elli Rose, Mai Miyagi and Azusa Koizumi.
But whereas Ravijour rival Peach John continues to be very "Japanese" in its ...
As we know, religion in Japan is traditionally not conservative or moralistic about sex.
Just look at the Shinto fertility festivals for a perfect example.
Shinto is full of raucous, erotic gods. The islands of Japan itself are said in mythology to have been formed out of sexual union between Izanagi and Izanami.
Shrines apparently have no trouble with people drawing on prayer plaques with bondage illustrations.
Religions run all sorts of non-religious businesses too, such as love hotels.
So we are not really surprised that Buddhism approves of Tenga.
Tenga recently ...
Japanese television at its finest indeed.
Fuji TV have released a preview to "Yoroi Bijo", the show we wrote about last week.
The concept is seductively simple: Gravure idols wear the suits of armor of famous samurai, then take them off piece by piece while talking about the history of the warrior. They are then revealed in their underwear beside all the shiny metal armor. That's it.
The first show, which was broadcast on April 17th, features Gravure model Shoko Takasaki in the armor of Date Masamune.
Here's the preview.
No prizes for guessing that this is aimed at ...
Pepee has long been the top Japanese lubricant brand.
Their previous lubes include such classics as Pepee 360 Wankers Lotion. Many of the small lubes that come as freebies with onaholes are made by Pepee.
But this is a truly great innovation that offers something new for the market.
The Pepee Gelee is a set of powder sachets that turn anything into lubricant.
Beer. Wine. Juice. Milk. Water.
You name it, you can lube up with it.
Just pour in the sachet and stir. Obviously this opens up the possibilities for all manner of flavored lube.
Pepee have made this ...
Japan's most high-profile lesbian couple held a "wedding ceremony" on April 19th to celebrate their union.
The ceremony is literally just ceremonial, since gay people are not allowed to get married in Japan.
Ex-Gravure model and television personality Ayaka Ichinose (34) and actress Akane Sugimori (28) announced their "marriage" in December last year and have no followed through with the big day itself.
Same-sex marriage is finally becoming a major issue in Japan.
Hotel Granvia in Kyoto now offers gay wedding ceremonies, in partnership with a local Buddhist temple, as does ...
Japanese politics can be a dull affair.
That's why when a candidate puts himself forward for consideration by the voting public in all his naked glory, people take notice.
Teruki Goto is standing in the April 26th Chiyoda ward assembly elections in central Tokyo. His campaign poster features his posing naked against a backdrop of imperialist iconography.

His rambling website seems to place Goto firmly in the ultra-nationalist camp, though we wonder what the uyoku think about his nude antics.
The thirtysomething wannabe politico has stood before as an ...
Larger ladies can be cute.
Though few and far between in Japan, some degree of love handles come in very handy (literally) and make a nice contrast to the chopping-board flatness of many women.
Despite the lack, there is demand. We've even seen foreigners who deliberately wanted larger local ladies.
There are chubby girl idols, larger lady porn and sex clubs, and even fat girl-themed onahole sex toys.
The truth is a little bit pocchari is very sexy.
Naomi Watanabe is a comedienne and riding a popular trend right now for larger girls, who even have their own magazine. ...
We know that Korean pop idols are way sexier than their Japanese counterparts.
They think little of grinding their bodies in ways that are more than just a little suggestive.
Sometimes it goes too far, as KARA have found out.
Dal Shabet release their new mini-album "Joker Is Alive", and with it, the music video for the title track, "joker".
Unfortunately, the broadcaster KBS has judged the song to be too sexy and banned it.
Actually, it's not the footage itself that's the problem -- though take a look below and you'll be raising your eyebrows at the groin thrusting and ...
We heard about this a few days ago but only now have nice pictures emerged.
And what pictures they are...
A new Fuji TV show called "Yoroi Bijo" (Armor Beautiful Girl) features hot gravure models putting on and taking off suits of armor, known in Japanese as kacchu or yoroi.
As we know from a recent example, Japanese TV is not averse to some pretty risque and bizarre concept shows.
So if you have a thing for girls wearing shiny armor and other medieval costumes, then this is definitely the TV show for you.
The ladies wear the armor to demonstrate how nice and heavy it is. Then ...
Japan, sometimes you defeat even us.
We love all its kinkiness and its vibrant sex scene, and we deplore the hypocrisy of the establishment that puts people like Megumi Igarashi on trial or who censor gay art.
We've seen a lot of Japanese porn -- perhaps too much. Surely nothing can take us by surprise anymore.
Wrong.
Take this segment of a game show called "Tekoki Karaoke" (Handjob Karaoke).
Mainstream entertainment, this ain't.
The contestants have to sing karaoke while being jerked off by a girl. Who is wearing a hot nurse uniform (playing on porn tropes, natch) and ...
