If you went out at Halloween in Tokyo you might have seen some very scantily clad ladies.
Likewise, a trip to Akihabara often means the chance to see idols performing on the street with a lot on display. Flasher idol Asuka Sawamoto famously got herself arrested in 2008 when she did a series of performances in Akiba where she let hordes of men photograph her underwear. (She went on to a career in porn.)
But what about just "risque" fashion. How far is this legal?
A fashion website asked a lawyer about how far you go with see-through underwear in Japan.
Exposing yourself in ...
This story is super old now but we wanted to blog it anyway because it's important.
With its low use of condom usage, Japan is a bit of an HIV time bomb -- something the gay community is more proactive about. Complimentary condoms are frequently available at bars and clubs, and HIV awareness posters are also displayed in gay nightlife areas.
However, one HIV awareness poster was too much for the authorities and locals.
Designed by illustrator and animator Poko Murata, this billboard was hung in Shinjuku Nichome, Tokyo's main gay district, from December 2013. Its design soon became ...
The lovely Mayu Koseta is a swimwear Gravure idol who seems to have an uncanny knack for switching between different styles: sensual and sexy, cute and girl-next-door-innocent, and even as agile as a gymnast with her flexible legs.
The up-and-coming talent was born in 1994, making her a very ideal 20 years old. In Japan, of course, this is the age when you officially become an adult. We hope very much to see more of the "adult" Mayu Koseta in the ...
Japan's top jukujo Yumi Kazama shows now signs of slowing down with age.
Quite the opposite. Her latest release is Silver Dust Slave Soapland, probably one of her most extreme fetish titles yet.
As Kanojo Toys writes:
This rare new fetish porn title with jukujo older star Yumi Kazama sees the hot MILF coated in silver dust, transforming her into a unique sex slave at a soapland. Every inch of her gorgeous body is dusted in silver, her neck chained to a collar to stop her from moving. Only her eyes and orifices are left free and of course, they come in handy for the nakadashi creampie ...
Porn star Ai Uehara has many talents but did you know they also include rap?
In "REAL remix" Uehara has now lent her vocal skills to a song following her victory at the AV Open 2014 awards, which are voted for by the public. The track is by INCUBUS, who is the male rapper in the song.
The video itself is a weird mash-up of anime images of nubile girls, based on three porn stars, including Uehara. The lyrics sing the joys of being able to see the "real thing" (i.e. Ai Uehara) at the event, rather than just a video of her.
Take a gander.
It's also funny to hear words like "semen ...
Rokudenashiko (or Rokudenashi-ko), the "vagina artist" arrested in the summer for distributing 3D data of her pussy, has been taken into police custody again, promising to reignite what became an international sensation about female rights and censorship.
This time her "crime", says Tokyo Reporter, was another vagina selfie artwork, though sculptural this time rather than photographic.
Megumi Igarashi -- Rokudenashiko's real name -- was arrested with a writer called Minori Watanabe.
Rokudenashiko, an artist name meaning "Good-For-Nothing Girl", has previous made a series of ...
Photographer Yuki Aoyama has managed to persuade the world that he is not a sleazy guy with a lens, but an artist. That takes some skill because his subject is always schoolgirls, particularly sweet and innocent-looking Japanese ones.
What other country in the world would revere a photographer who calls his breakout hit "Schoolgirl Complex"?
"Taiwan Kawaii School Girl" is his new release this month and, as the name suggests, features not Japanese female students but Taiwanese ones.
Can Taiwanese schoolgirls be as cute and alluring as their Japanese equivalents?
It seems ...
Google is essential for ours lives -- searching for information, browsing images, checking a location on a map.
It can even help you pick the right love hotel.
Love hotels have their own websites and there are also plenty of portal sites with information on the various amenities and features at each facility.
Needless to say there are images.
But none as detailed as these provided by Google Street View, which lets you tour a love hotel in the heart of Shinjuku's Kabukicho.
The Designer’s Hotel & Spa Pasha Resort is more fancy than kinky, but sometimes that's what you ...
AKB48's Haruna Kojima has shown us what she looks like when she wakes up in bed, in the bath, and gets dressed in the morning.
