American film website TC Candler has issues its yearly list of "most beautiful faces". Japanese girls featured: Satomi Ishihara was at #32, followed by Nozomi Sasaki at #41, Mirei Kiritani at #46, Haruka Shimazaki (from AKB48) at #56, (recently married to yet another foreigner) Ayumi Hamasaki at #60, and finally Aya Ueto at #99. Despite the ubiquity on Japanese advertising of people like Atsuko Maeda, Emi Takei and Ayame Goriki, they were nowhere in sight and so can be presumed to have little to no global presence. So much for Dentsu. Kiritani was at #12 last year while ...

A long article in the Guardian has been published that purports to be sociological and serious, but is actually perpetuating the usual myths we read about our great country -- everyone is unhappy, everyone only works, no one has sex. The sexes, especially in Japan's giant cities, are "spiralling away from each other". Lacking long-term shared goals, many are turning to what [a sex therapist] terms "Pot Noodle love" -- easy or instant gratification, in the form of casual sex, short-term trysts and the usual technological suspects: online porn, virtual-reality "girlfriends", anime cartoons. ...

We all like tits. Sometimes in Japan there is a dearth of decent-sized breasts, but to dismiss the whole nation's assets over a stereotype is naive. You just have to search for the breasts. Any veteran hunter knows that there are plenty of ladies out there with a lovely sized chest. And then there are these girls who have, shall we say, rather peculiar breasts. Let's start with the perky breasts of JAV star Kotono. And there are just breasts like these which are simply too much to handle: kyonyu (giant breasts). And then there are ones like this which ...

That's a question I devote considerable time each day to thinking about. Well, luckily we have some hard data to back our speculations up. Triumph, the underwear brand, has released some statistics on its bra sales and so we have some nice data on which cups sell most -- and thus, can presumably infer on the proportion of breast sizes across the country. Note, though that the numbers are for 2011, though we doubt that Japanese breasts have evolved so much in two years. So, here we go. A Cup: 8% B Cup: 23.8% C Cup: 26.7% D Cup: 22% E Cup: 12.8% F Cup: 4.8% G Cup: ...

Not a question I often ask myself... but apparently they have! So says Dr. Akiko Tanaka, who has apparently photographed over 8,000 vaginas. Here's where we get a bit technical. Tanaka says that the labia majora in women today used to be thicker and covered the labia minora more. But now the labia stand out more than they did in the past. Why? Apparently it's all due to dieting. The skin on the labia has got slimmer due to girls always going on diets. All this biological change has led some girls naturally to become conscious of their conspicuous pussies, having being told by ...

There is magic in Japan and it's called cosmetics. It's well-known that Japanese women spend more time and care on their make-up than women in other countries. Shiseido and its peers are respected for being some of the most successful and effective cosmetic brands in the world. Here we can see it in action. S Cawaii fashion magazine organized this incredible demonstration of the power of make-up. It took a bunch of girls who, without being mean, were fairly ordinary looking -- or perhaps even, if we are honest, below average. But cosmetics was used to bring out their true ...

We all know Hooters, the ever-so-slightly sexist and tacky restaurant chain with busty girls doing what they do best -- revealing their busts in tight tops while serving your drinks. Now you can choose which of Hooters Japan's ladies should be selected as the best piece of totty in the restaurant in this Miss Hooters Japan Contest. There are 55 entries to vote among and the website tells you their stats, interests -- and importantly, gives you more photos showing off their legs! But be careful! You only get one vote so use it well. The online poll closes on February 14th. ...

It's Christmas Eve in Japan. While the 25th itself is not so special, Eve is what it's all about. Along with Valentine's Day, this is THE day for couples to go on dates and... well, you know how dates usually end. Yep, getting a love hotel on December 24th can be a chore. Another unusual custom is the obsession with KFC. The fast food chain started marketing fried chicken to Japanese locals as a Christmas food years ago and it has really caught on. There is not a chance you can land some Kentucky chicken on December 24th without a prior reservation. Look out for the big lines of ...

We've talked before how, despite all their loveliness, there is no getting around the fact that many Japanese girls are flat chested. As one commenter on that blog post pointed out, large breasts sag with age so it is better to go with modest chests in youth for a more attractive older woman. (And older Japanese women can also be extremely hot!) Japanese hinnyu ("poor" breasts) can also be a fetish. Many guys here like girls with nothing on their chests! Tsurupeta also means flat-chested and it seems there are some other hidden advantages to girls with no busts to speak of ...

If you like a girl with intelligence -- and we know there are plenty of hot, smart girls in Japan -- then don't be put off by science students! Sure, they have a kind of geeky image but there is a whole legion of lovely ladies manning (no pun intended) the labs, their beautiful faces reflected in test tubes. A competition is currently being run to find the prettiest science student or young female science researcher. You can check out the six contestants here. From the sultry Ryoko Suwa, who looks hot in a lab coat and often goes to Roppongi, to the more tender Akira ...
