It's that time of year again. Every year we snigger gleefully at the return of the "flip-a-skirt" calendar. The tribute to groping in paper form allows you to see the dates by literally lifting up the skirt of a cute girl! And the best thing is that it is a high school girl's skirt too! She even has cute knee-high socks on. And just to make the men feel better, note that the calendar is designed by a female designer (Kaori Kato) -- so it can't be sexist, right? Available in blue or gray, the concept and look of the 2015 calendar is much the same as in previous years. After ...

Otoko no Ko "male daughter" cross-dressing cosplay is really getting big in Tokyo now. The fetish subculture has its only monthly event in Shinjuku called Propaganda. There are shops, maid cafes and even special photobooks. Even more intriguingly, there are many Otoko no Ko cosplay adult toys too, mostly created by Tama Toys -- from anus smell sprays to manicure sets, panties, bras, garter, wigs and more! Well, now there is a way to check the time online with a Otoko no Ko flavor! Keen-eyed readers may see a connection here to the successful Bijin Tokei series of digital clock ...

Last summer photography Manabu Koga delighted us with his series of sexy photographs of slinky girls swimming underwater in various states of undress. Now he's back with a follow-up, Underwater Knee-High Girls plus, released this October. Sexy Japanese girls in knee-high socks, diving underwater. The concept is unchanged -- when it ain't broke, don't fix it! -- though this time the slender maidens having some incongruous props like umbrellas and raincoats, meccha gear, and even rabbit ears. The models include Shimarisu Mashima and ...

We consider ourselves aficionados of some of the weirder sections of the Japanese porn canon. And let's face it, there are some oddities out there. For example, in "World's Kinkiest Nude Library Challenge", an entry in the shuchi "shame" genre, a woman does crazy things while in a public library... totally naked, natch. "Elf" sees a man have sex with a fairy-like girl with pointy ears. "Daddy Quiz Daughter Sex" has a father tied up and forced to watch as his daughter is raped by men in masks if he gets questions wrong. We think the titles of "Human Farm Cow Girls Orgy" and "Tokyo ...

Some men in Japan like to give women a "present". By this we mean bukkake, of course -- squirting your juices all over their body, often their face. Sure, there are some guys who would go further. Give her a golden shower, perhaps. But this is a bit much. A 30-year-old man who works in a restaurant in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, has been arrested by police on suspicion of putting (his) vomit over random women on the streets. Toru Sugawara was arrested on August 13th, though he denies the charges. Between May and July there were four incidents in the area where women in their twenties and ...

Japanese men famously like to be mothered and pampered. This culture starts with the housewife mothers who have little to do but tend to their every needs, and then continues with their female underlings in the office, their girlfriends and later wives (homemakers, mostly), and then even with hostesses and call girls. But there are some guys who clearly don't want to be treated with kid gloves the whole time. Rather, they want to be shouted at! Regular readers to this blog will need no introduction to Risa Yoshiki, one of the most popular Gravure models in Japan and popular for her ...

Forget Cornelius, Noise and all that. It seems that Japan's reputation in the world of electronic dance consists of little more than the country that has both technology and horny people. To be fair, it is not wholly wrong. This is the nation of the Shiri robotic ass and the Yukirin AKB48 android. And clearly Basement Jaxx like this side of things since for their music for "Never Say Never ft. ETML" they featured it almost exclusively. Set in some distant future where dance has been banned or "72% people have stopped partaking" in dancing -- again, is this a reference to Japan? ...

Forget Fifty Shades, sado-masochism infiltrates all walks of life in Japan, it seems. Including anime cover hug pillows. Hug pillows (dakimakura) are of course the pillows designed to be "hugged" to help you through the night. Sometimes they are innocent enough (like comfort blankets) but often it's a euphemism for a type of sex doll, complete with slots for masturbator sleeves. And naturally, there are lots of cool covers to go on these hug dolls, especially moe ones of anime characters. But the this month saw a strange trend sweeping the Twittersphere in Japan. Turning your ...

Artist and manga-ka Megumi Igarashi is not afraid to shock, in spite of her innocent smiles. After all, this is a young woman whose artist name is Rokudenashi-ko (Good-for-nothing girl) and who calls herself a "deko-man" (decorated pussy) artist, a "pussy columnist" and who is a member of the "Japan Genitalia Art Association". She held a solo show in May in Shinjuku that was a quite a talking point online, not least for its colorful pictures of vaginas with faces. She also claims to have made the world's first 3D "pussy boat" (or is it a kayak?). And this is where the trouble ...

We know this is going to be a divisive release -- and that's why we're blogging about it. Over at Kanojo Toys, they have a JAV porn DVD for sale called "Rina-chan Best". "Rina-chan Best" is a long 480-minute double-disc fetish DVD porn set for the audiences who love eight-hour paipan schoolgirl fantasies. And that's quite a big audience in Japan, it seems. Rina is a sweet little girl who measures a mere 147 cm (4.8 ft) in height. Like small girls with flat chests? She's the one for you. (After all, there's no shortage of them in Japan.) In the series of films in this set Rina is put ...
