Japan, the land of the panchira (up-skirt panties shot) fetish. Well, not quite. Nonetheless, there is a robust subculture of men obsessed with panchira, so much so it crops up even in mainstream culture too a fair bit.
And now there is this awesome tongue-in-cheek product: the Upskirt Umbrella.
It's been created by the Million Girls Project, which sounds like a college fraternity sex contest.
While people in Japan probably have to head to a store in Akihabara to get their hands on this unique umbrella, international interested parties can instead order one from Japan Trend ...
Good news! The punishment for serial voyeurism is not as harsh as you might expect!
The case of the Kobe serial drain panty voyeur has captivated us all, from the unabashed earnestness of the act -- hours spent in a storm drain just to glimpse a few seconds of the holy grail of passing women's panties -- to the defense by his mother that Yasuomi Hirai it not a pervert, but just likes to hide in drains
Well, it seems that such extreme panchira fetish acts don't land you in as much trouble as you might expect.
The 28-year-old Hirai has now been summarily indicted and fined ...
The tale of the 28-year-old serial drain voyeur keeps on getting better.
It was amazing enough that the man, arrested in June 2013 for the same crime, would again risk hiding in a drain for hours in order to look up the skirts of passing women (a fetish known as panchira in Japan).
Yasuomi Hirai was arrested on November 9 after he was caught in August using his phone to film up the skirt of a woman walking over the drain grill. He had been in the drain for five hours.
A tabloid reporter spoke to his mother.
"My son has liked to hide in small places like drains since he was a boy. He ...
Some people don't learn their lesson.
Well, Yasuomi Hirai is nothing if not consistent.
We first reported on his unique "talents" back in June 2013, when he was arrested for hiding in a drain in order to look up the skirts of girls passing by over him.
Two years on, and Hirai is at it again.
Once again Hyogo police have arrested the panchira fetishist for hiding in a storm drain, all so he could take photos of pedestrians in Kobe.
This time he was caught on August 16th after he was spotted using his phone to film up the skirt of a woman as she walked past the drain he was ...
While we hate people in the foreign media who paint Japan as a bunch of weirdos obsessed with strange gadgets and wacky fashion, when we see something like this, we can't really argue.
People actually spent a lot of money making this online promo!
Rock 'n' Roll Panty is just a giant panchira (up-skirt panty shot) fantasy platform. The interactive musical website allows you to get good views of cute ladies' underwear (as we know, panchira fetish is a massive phenomenon in Japan).
You "tap" (click) to the sound of the music, choosing drums or guitar or vocals, and with the ...
We like to look up girls' skirts and check out their panties.
But it can lead to all kinds of problems, not least run-ins with the law.
So how can you get your panchira (up-skirt shot) fetish fix safely?
If you're artist Kioku Panties ("memory panties"), then you sketch all the hotties you see.
Determined to document all the glories he spotted around town, he sketches the girls and includes notes about the situation and context. This is bordering on the obsessive (at time of writing there are nearly 8,000 images on his Twitter feed, presumably all like this), of course, ...
A new PS3 and PS4 video game by D3 Publisher lets you fulfil those panchira fantasies by having your virtual self take secret photos up girls' skirts!

Panchira research sounds like a lot of fun.
Starring popular cosplayer Kazari, Mosou Kagaku Kenkyujo (Fantasy Science Research Lab) has released a new video analyzing their research into panchira.
Panchira is a fetish for the panty shot. It's huge in Japan, especially with cosplayer idols or with schoolgirls.
The video is the first in the series in around nine months and shows the results of their "research" into ways for schoolgirls to do things so that their panties don't show, not always successfully.
This time Kazari demonstrates how to pick a book off a shelf ...
Proof if ever any was needed: the Japanese are all fetishists!
When we first heard about the "Panchira 2015" exhibition a few weeks ago, we didn't think much of it.
Sure, there are lots of panchira (panty shot) events and things everywhere and anywhere these days.
Magazines, films, porn, events, even calendars... It isn't hard to find ways to satisfy your fetish (legally) for viewing girls' panties from under their skirts. (Of course, some people do it illegally on the train and elsewhere -- and land themselves in prison!)
But this event at Photons Art Gallery in Asakusabashi ...
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 ...
