Interactive kissing screen poster for otaku and idols
April 6, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
An otaku engineer has devised a system so that his lust for idols will not be hampered by the constraints of the 2D. Now he has created a poster that can respond to being "kissed", perfect for reenacting his fantasies of making out with his favorite fantasy girls.
We love how the young guy who developed the poster is so flagrant about his motivations:
I'm a big fan of pop idols, and I have posters of them in my room. It bugged me that the posters didn't move at all. We built this system because we thought, if a poster could move to match people's movements, that would be interactive ...
Half-Japanese, Half-French TV star Hélène Hayama marries
April 4, 2012

After being snapped going home with her boyfriend recently (I love the smile on her face, is she thinking about the upcoming hanky-panky?), the hot haafu Japanese-French TV presenter Hélène Hayama has announced she is to marry.
There's been lots of celebrity marriages announced in the past few weeks, including singer Takako Uehara, Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun, and model Miyuki Koizumi (pictured below).
So, here's the big question: Does it mean you no longer find the girl or idol so hot?
Or take a lovely actress like Yuka Itaya. She's just had a second child. Does that lessen ...
Idol of the Week: Haruna Yabuki (Mari Abe)
March 25, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
This week's immaculate and stunning Japanese lady is Haruna Yabuki (矢吹春奈), a very sexy underwear model.
Born in 1984, the nicely curvy Haruna was scouted when she was a teenager and now brings home the bacon juggling gravure modeling, bits of "acting" and TV appearances.
Hang on, isn't her name Mari Abe (阿部真里)? Yeah, this is one of those weird idol things where they sometimes like to reinvent themselves by changing their professional name, or reverting back to their real name.
It means that we don't know what to call Haruna-Mari. So instead we are sticking with ...
Shun Oguri, one of Japan's best-looking actors, is to marry his long-term girlfriend, the model, Yu Yamada.
They've been a famous celebrity couple for four years now, in spite of rumors in recent years of Shun's infidelities with other ladies. His career also took a hit recently when he turned his hand to directing a film, only for it turn out a massive flop at the local box office.
Yu is the always smiling and personality-less celebrity model, best known for her long legs and clean-cut image.
My prediction? Like other recent celebrity marriages, it won't ...
This week we turn our carnal eyes to the cute and gorgeous Natsuna, previously known by her full name, Natsuna Watanabe.
Born in 1989 in Saitama (proving that dull suburbs CAN produce lovely things), the idol and tarento has now been branching out into acting. Most notoriously, she starred in the hit "GANTZ" in which her first scene was a nude one (albeit it quite ...
This week we turn our lascivious gaze onto the eye-watering beauty that is Sayuri Anzu.
Born in 1983, we're not quite sure what Sayuri does other than look damn, damn fine in lingerie and a swimsuit, but hell, we never ask for more than that in our idols!
She's done a bit of acting but Sayuri's real strength is her sexiness. Oh, and apparently she can speak a bit of ...
More sad news, guys.
In 2010 sexy model Yuki Yamamoto was one of a spate of celebrities and idols who married quickly after they found out they were pregnant (the so-called dekikekkon or shotgun wedding).
Now the goddess has announced she is pregnant again with a new child!
Still the thought that someone is having a poke inside Yuki sans condom is a pleasant image indeed. We just wish it was ...
Sexy Meisa Kuroki marries singer Jin Akanishi in shotgun wedding?
February 10, 2012
/ Megumi
Well, the big news in the Japanese celebrity world has been the sudden announcement by Meisa Kuroki and Jin Akanishi, formerly of boyband KAT-TUN, that they were married!
Yep, you've guessed it, yet another example of the now customary celebrity dekikon, or shotgun wedding. Meisa is said to be two months pregnant!
I don't know, I think this kinda embarrassing. I wouldn't want the world to know that my boyfriend doesn't use condoms when he screws me or that I don't have the intelligence to know that nakadashi ain't too sensible for the working woman!
I'm sure their respective ...
Our last nostalgic idols post was such a hit with the boys that I just had to think of some more.
This time I turned my retro eye to actress and idol Kumiko Takeda. Born in 1968, Kumiko is a voluptuous, well-bosomed lady who starred in plenty of movies and TV dramas throughout the 1980s, along with some ravishingly sexy nude shoots that make today's coquettish AKB48 idols look like children (well, that's because basically they are!). She is famous for her "shell bikini" shoot.
She actually married an American and moved out to the States, thus effectively ending her career in Japan ...
