If you're a fan of the zettai ryouiki, the tantalizing area of the upper thigh that is such a preoccupation of moe culture, then you might want to check out this new clothing that particularly highlights the flesh in the "absolute zone".
Developed by Kiyoyuki Amano of Kayac Inc, the "flashing skirt" takes a Hatsune Miku miniskirt and adds flashing mysterious lights to draw attention to the zettai ryouiki.
Well, we guess this is what happens when you take an otaku staple and add some engineering cleverness and cosplay fashion.
Amano has called it the "Komorehi-ryouiki" ...
Chinese netizens are apparently up in arms about Japan. Plus ça change.
Only this time it's not a territorial incursion or some ojisan politico putting his foot in it.
No, the Chinese are angry about a woman. She's not hot enough.
Iira Hongo is Japan's official entry in the Miss International 2014 competition, a beauty pageant with over 70 entries from around the world, showcasing pretty girls representing their countries' virtues.
While Ms. Hongo may well have a very "Japanese" countenance, it isn't anything prettier than we can see in any shop or cafe in Tokyo.

Few would question that K-pop is run like a factory, churning out idols and new pop groups like snacks for the loving public. While this is a bit fascist, it's going a bit far to call it Nazi.
But some Korean pop stars themselves seem to like the Nazis, or at least elements of Nazi aesthetic.
Pritz is a minor Korean girl band comprised of four cute girls. And these girls just happen to wear black clothes and red and white armbands with a striking similarity to a certain unpopular former German political party. Surprise surprise, the foursome just got a whole lot more ...
We've always been a fan of curvy ladies and one of all-time favs is Haruna Hana.
Haruna has had a typical career, taking that logical trajectory from Gravure idol to porn star. In this time she has also appeared in full hair nude shoots.
As is a public secret, in the idol world stars have to sleep around to get ahead, so doing this on camera is only the next logical step.
Born in 1988, Haruna is a very busty lady (K-cup!) and has a grip-me-with-two-hands kind of ass. She made her porn debut in 2010 with the aptly titled "Miracle K-Cup" from Muteki.

We love internet surveys. They are so revealing because people feel free to be honest with the anonymity a screen provides.
And so we have this fun survey conducted online by My Nabvi Woman in October. From the 243 results (all working women aged 22 to 34) we have been graced with a list of 11 things Japanese women want me to know about their breasts.
10 (tie). Small breasts + bras = cute (14.4%)
Yes, as we know, lingerie has the ability to transform girls with slender bodies into sex goddesses, while girls with smaller chests are still very popular, especially with Japanese ...
Here's something that has got people talking (and horny) for totally obvious reasons.
In "The Bikini Game", six gravure idols wearing only (you guessed it) bikinis play a Japanese version of the game statues with a Daruma (Dharma) doll. This involves them trying to creep up on the red doll while it spins around, freezing when it turns back to glare at them.
Is it bliss or a tragedy? A secret game with sexy Japanese idols.
Of course, its large eyes ogle their bouncing, swaying breasts (a staple of gravure). The girls that move then meet a rather unfortunate end with those wonderful assets ...
You may well be familiar with Sailor Fuku Ojisan, the older gent with a penchant for wearing schoolgirl uniforms in Tokyo, and who has recently been seen together with the almost equally eccentric foreigner who goes by the moniker Ladybeard.
But this may be the start of an even more impressive and bizarre cosplay meme.
In a shopping mall in Osaka City on Sunday, a man made a peculiar appearance and posed for pictures wearing a quasi-adult baby cosplay costume. He had on "bloomer" sports bottoms, an elementary schooler's yellow hat, and various other school student gear that he ...
Here in Japan there is a growing trend for November 8th to be "nice breasts day".
We're not sure how this started -- it's certainly not official! -- but it seems to be a wordplay on the Japanese name and how you can read the numbers "11/08" to sound like "ii oppai" (nice breasts).
People tweeted lovely images of their busts using the hashtag #いいおっぱいの日.
Many famous Gravure models and idols took part too, including Yuka Kuramochi and Megumi Aisaka. (In fact, as far as we can tell from a cursory search, the photos seemed mainly or even exclusively to be models.)
Here ...
We all know what "delivery health" is. Delivery in Japan is often a euphemism for call girl services.
Now here's a lunchbox delivery service that is basically just that, only minus the sex. You only get the hot girl instead.
Platinum Lunch (it even sounds like a kind of premium rate offered by a sex club) is a new service where you can get your meal delivered to your office in Tokyo. Well, these kinds of "bento" services are everywhere. But Platinum Lunch has one special feature.
The delivery is made by a beautiful model or actress.
Okay, so these are going to be famous ...
Sad news. Azusa Yamamoto, one of our favorite slinky Gravure idols, has announced she is pregnant.
She plans to have the baby in Singapore. She must have kept it pretty hidden since she is due in December!
The 33-year-old Gravure star married a businessman in January this year, so this news was inevitable. After idols get married they almost always disappear from the industry or "upgrade" to being anodyne TV celebrities.
Well, let's bid goodbye to Azusa's lovely body! Likely we won't ever be seeing it ...
