Japan frequently -- hell, basically always -- pushed the boundaries and definitions of what is expected and accepted.
We think of AKB48 and we think of cubby otaku geek men who can't get a girlfriend, jacking off and then heading to the meet-and-greet scrums with the stars, the spunk still dripping from their hands. (Seriously, there are stories like this.)
Think again. AKB is also popular with cross-dressers! Yes, there are guys who find it erotic to dress up as one of the diminutive Akihabara idols and imitate their skimpy, sexy skirts and uniforms.
For precisely these chaps ...
We're heading out later today to catch an art show. I know, very sophisticated, right? Well, this ain't some nansy pansy abstract malarkey. This is cosplay!
At pixiv Zingaro in Nakano, west Tokyo, from February 16th to 27th COSPLAY SHOWCASE will feature ten large prints of sexy cosplayers, selections from the photo book by Nobutsugu Sugiyama, which went on sale at the end of last month.
The book is based on an iPad and iPhone app where 120 cosplayers were dressed up in their finest, and then photographed with revolving technology -- so the final image can rotate. They called it ...
Us Japanese girls have a reputation for being, well, meek, right?
The truth is there are plenty of tough ladies out there. Most Japanese wives strictly control their hubbies' wallet and if you've ever met a girl from Osaka, likely you know they are not to be messed around with.
If you and your lady like the fighting spirit, then get into the real way of the warrior, history style, with these funky ninja and Sengoku Warring States period kinky costumes. I always like to give Tadashi a good whacking whenever he's feeling horny.
Recently in Japan there has been a craze for ...
Ah, Japanese girls and their obsession with cats. Approximately 48.7% of the Japanese internet (that's a very reliable statistic) is composed of images of cats, you know.
At a squint (no pun intended), many Japanese girls even look like cats! Before people accuse of being racist, we reckon the ladies know it themselves, hence why they are always dressing up in cosplay with "neko mimi" (cat ears).
And when the results are this cute, there are no complaints from us.
Continuing this theme is this new vibrator that is sure to be a big hit with the feline-loving ladies. The ...
Here's something we don't often talk about on TokyoKinky -- newhalf (nuhaafu) or transgenders!
"Otoko no Ko" (男の子) means "boy" but if written with a different kanji character (男の娘) it has a whole new meaning. It essentially is boys dressing up as girls but it's a whole world of specialist bars, cafes, magazines, manga comics, online shops and more!
A mix between cosplay culture and full-on crossdressing and transgender lifestyle, it's also men young and old. After all, Japan already has its fair share of soushoku danshi (herbivore men), the name given to metrosexual ...
Japan's parking lots are pretty cool, especially the tower ones that take cars up for storage in cool elevator machines.
It seems it's a competitive business as the owners are now getting imaginative. So much so that Osaka's Nipponbashi has come up with a novel scheme to attract young male drivers. We've heard of maid cafes. Now we have a maid parking lot!
Usually these tower parking lots feature a old gent or other member of staff to help guide your car in and onto the right place to be taken upstairs (you get out of the car of course). But the team greeting you at "Maid Parking ...
Our friends at Kanojo Toys have launched their first sex toys demonstration videos on youtube (KanojoToysDotCom) more than 3 years ago with some reaching unique video views of more than 700,000 viewers.
Last year they started with the first Japanese AV idol (Yuri, also featured on hardcore sites such as Interracial Japan and Japan Bondage TV) doing some product demonstrations in her maid outfit and this year they have started engaging a few more models to bring you free, sexy and fun product commercials.
Check them out HERE.
Another youtube account (KanojoFromTokyo1) for hand-on ...
Some of you may or may not have heard of a fun little cell phone app called Bijin Tokei (Beautiful Girl Clock). The premise is simple. Two different girls from different locations in Japan every minute of every day. Why check the regular clock on your phone when you can get ladies along with the time.
Since the inception of the first Bijin Tokei, many spin-offs have been made, including the ability to search for beautiful ladies showing the time in their favorite Japanese city. Just last month, the newest version of this little sexy lady lock took the stakes up a notch. Introducing ...
As we rapidly approach Halloween, I thought I'd like to highlight some of the Japanese costumes that I've seen around the interwebs.
Mind you these lovely ladies don't need a holiday to dress up. Here's a little sample in honor of Halloween for this year round past time for so many gorgeous geeks. Some of which are actually what you'd call Cosplay Queens. They appear at cosplay conventions as celebrities and are constantly doing photoshoots that they put on their personal websites or group websites like CosRain.Com
If you really think about it these girls are practically ...
We all know about maid cafes. But what about us girls?
Sure, there are host clubs but some of us don't actually like guys with ridiculous orange hair cuts, up-themselves attitudes -- and then paying huge bills for the privilege!
Fear not, there are Otouto Cafe (Little Brother Cafe) for us ladies!
One example is the Cafe B's Prince, a concept cafe opened last year. The staff are actually girls but dressed as boys. This is basically more a cosplay cafe catering (no pun!) to fujoshi manga fans (um, semi-lesbians who like girls dressed as boys).
There is a whole spate of these ...
