If you went out at Halloween in Tokyo you might have seen some very scantily clad ladies.
Likewise, a trip to Akihabara often means the chance to see idols performing on the street with a lot on display. Flasher idol Asuka Sawamoto famously got herself arrested in 2008 when she did a series of performances in Akiba where she let hordes of men photograph her underwear. (She went on to a career in porn.)
But what about just "risque" fashion. How far is this legal?
A fashion website asked a lawyer about how far you go with see-through underwear in Japan.
Exposing yourself in ...
AKB48's Haruna Kojima has shown us what she looks like when she wakes up in bed, in the bath, and gets dressed in the morning.
For her latest ad for Japanese lingerie brand Peach John, the Akihabara idol is shown stripping down and taking alluring selfies.
Kojiharu is the main marketing model for lingerie line Peach John and has frequently appeared in risque advertising stunts for the brand, including stripping off at a race track and doing some downright sizzling photo shoots.
Peach John is encouraging women around Japan to copy Kojiharu by stripping off to their underwear and ...
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 ...
Japanese sexy lingerie brand Ravijour has held its first solo strip show -- sorry, we mean fashion show. To look at the pictures, it's an easy mistake to make!
Models include Elli Rose, Mayuko Arisue and Natsumi Yoshida strutted their stuff on October 8th and showed off their slinky bodies in Roppongi to celebrate 10 years of one of Japan's two main drop-dead-hot lingerie lines (the other is Peach John).
I know we write about Japanese lingerie like Ravijour perhaps a bit too much on this blog, despite it being a bit too ordinary to qualify for "kinky". It's just ...
Bandai's Sailor Moon franchise has created a second set of its limited edition lingerie, with help from Japanese sexy lingerie maker Peach John.
The previous sets were all almost impossible to get your hands on, selling out very quickly. This new series promises to be just as popular, not least because of the way it is being marketed.
Peach John knows all about picking the right sexy models with the right bodies. Last time they had the likes of Rei Yasui looking very nice indeed in the lingerie.
This time round they have Peach John favorite, AKB48's Haruna Kojima, dressed up like ...
We recently blogged about a new line of designer lingerie especially for flat-chested Japanese girls.
Well, "feast" as it was daringly and ironically called, was a major hit, completely selling out its first run of bras and underwear, and generating a lot of publicity for its young designer.
Gomi Hayakawa is saying that you can have chippai (tiny tits) and still be cute.
Ero-cosplayer Luchino Fujisaki recently tried on the feast lingerie and posted photos for all the world to see. The results were alluring, to say the least.
You may not have much in the bust area but it's what ...
Now 41 but still alluring as ever, Ryoko Shinohara has loosened her shirt buttons again to show off her bust for a new Triumph bra ad to hit the small screen in Japan in September.
Here is the revealing ad for the new "Tenshi no Bra" (Angel's Bra).
Shinohara previously stripped off for the bra-makers spring ads, which boosted sales by 200%. That time the bra was a sultry red.
While not as sexy as its rivals Peach John and Ravijour, Triumph tends to focus on slightly odd publicity stunts with a biannual bra designed to reflected the motifs of the zeitgeist. Its use of Ryoko Shinohara ...
We've said it before and we'll sell it again. Many Japanese girls have flat chests.
Some guys like that. In fact, data exists proving that Japanese men prefer girls with modest busts.
Our jury's still out. While we like the cute, innocent-looking Japanese girl, we still ultimately prefer some curves and breasts to get our hands (and other things) on.
So-called hinnyu or tsurupeta Japanese girls have even inspired their own sex toys.
And their own underwear.
We don't just mean A-cup bras. Feast is a whole range of stylish lingerie specifically designed for girls with ...
The advertising for Japanese lingerie is practically pornographic. And we say that in a very complimentary way.
Ravijour, who along with Peach John are the lingerie of choice for girls looking to spice up their bodies, have announced their autumn catalog. And given the eye-watering photos they released with it we think these bras and panties are going to be very popular.
The concept behind this season's designs is apparently "jewel", which could just as easily be a reference to the precious quality of the models' bodies.
As usual, the models include Elli Rose, Mai Miyagi, and ...
As we know, AKB4 hottie Haruna Kojima is a face (and body) of Japanese lingerie brand Peach John.
The latest exploitative ad campaign features Haruna -- officially, according to the AKB rules, a virgin -- getting frigid in the ice. She freezes a foreign guy trying to make advances on her.
In the end, Haruna is seduced by a dashing foreigner who takes off her clothes. She then goes off arm-in-arm with the gaijin, no doubt to break some of those AKB rules on no sex before graduating.
The whole ad is a sort of pastiche of the Disney movie Frozen, which has been a phenomenal ...
