More bad news coverage about male hosts as the moral panic over this industry continues.
A Kabukicho host was arrested early last week for allegedly exploiting and prostituting a junior high school student who owed his club around ¥6 million.
The 22-year-old host Renji (Yuya Inaba) works at the appropriately named Worst Over in Kabukicho, central Tokyo. He is also accused of bringing the girl into his club when she was just 15 years old and serving her alcohol, including a very expensive "champagne tower" order.
The student used her mother's credit card and cash from her grandmother to ...
Where do fantasies about schoolgirls go too far? One example could be when you're upskirting schoolgirls at events.
School events are meant to be for kids, parents, and teachers. But it seems that some people -- perhaps sex-starved male parents! -- are more focused on the skimpy clothing that cheerleaders wear during school sporting tournaments, and take inappropriate pictures of them.
Female cheerleaders at the Koshien annual high school baseball tournament, which begins today, are often targets of sexualized photographs by some spectators.
Given that the young ladies are wearing ...
Police in Tokyo have arrested a 40-year-old man for employing a 17-year-old high school student.
Takeshi Shikano runs a sex industry business in Ikebukuro. He has been arrested on suspicion of violating the child welfare law for employing the high schooler and either making her or allowing her to engage in sex work.
Media reports about the arrest do not specify what kind of sex work, which took place in a rented room in the neighborhood in November last year. The police, though, termed it JK rifure -- or high female high school student reflexology -- service, where cuddles and so on are ...
In mid-January, Japan is gripped by a short, sharp season: it's the time of the college entrance exam.
Up and down the country, high school students sat down last weekend for the exam that will determine which university they will go to from the spring.
But there's another factor involved in the exam: chikan. This, as regular readers will know, is the Japanese word for groping or molesting, especially if done on public transport like trains.
What's the connection between the exam season and train groping? Apparently, in the darker corners of social media and the internet where chikan folk ...
Paparazzi snaps of an idol with her boyfriend? No big deal, this is the usual kind of fodder that always fills the pages of the weeklies, right?
But this time, there's an amusing, possibly kinky, catch.
Reporters snapped AKB48 member Yuiri Murayama entering the condo of fellow AKB idol Nana Okada for the latter's birthday party late at night on November 6.
The 25-year-old was with a man who many assume is her boyfriend.
Netizens peered hard -- very hard -- at the box in the bag that Murayama's putative partner is carrying. And they think they've identified it.
It just might well be ...
Japanese adult toy makers are never one to let a commercial opportunity pass. When a toy proves a hit, they usually follow up with a similar one -- or several.
But this time, the follow-up is not just a quick cash-in but a complementary item that makes so much sense. So much so, we wonder why they didn't release the original and follow-up together in the first place.
Back in February, we introduced readers to one of the most novel toys to hit the market in recent months: the Ashikoki Schoolgirl Footjob Toy.
In a nutshell, it's a foot that you use to rub yourself off. It even comes with a ...
When we talk about porn and sex, we tend to reach for heat-related metaphors. That guy or girl is a hottie. The sex was hot. And so on. Being cold or frigid is usually a bad thing. Right? Apparently not.
The latest example of the weird and wonderful subgenres of fetish porn that occupies a surprisingly large section of the Japanese adult video market is this release from Rocket (RCTD-482), which came out on July 21.
It features a schoolgirl who becomes frozen -- as is rock-solid frozen -- during sex and then gradually loses the ability to move her body. She ends up a kind of blue ...
Japanese adult video often pushes the envelope, gamely taking on themes and subject matters ordinarily considered unsuitable or out of bounds for porn. It's one of the reasons the industry is so creative and broad in Japan.
Some people, though, are speculating if this example is not going too far -- or simply too eager to test the limits of taste and fetish as to render it unappealing to most audiences. Plus ça change!
A new porn release directed by Migiwa Ota and staring Mai Kagari seems, some are saying, more like a kind of horror movie.
The behind-the-scenes pictures, at any ...
As reported recently on this blog, one of the unexpected outcomes of the coronavirus pandemic has been how the ubiquity of face masks has merged with an existing fetish for used underwear to beget a whole new brand of the adult market: used face masks.
However, though schoolgirls and housewives are apparently benefitting financially from the demand, some have warned that used face masks carry serious hygiene risks.
Japanese social media, especially Twitter, offers plenty of examples of used masks for sale, sometimes with "kiss marks." Posters tend to include photos of the stains from ...
A 40-year-old political candidate has allegedly fathered a child with a junior high school second grader.
Masayuki Hiratsuka, who is the head of the Popular Sovereignty Party and advocates not wearing masks (quite something in a culture like Japan where wearing masks is already ingrained, especially during flu or pollen allergy seasons) and not getting the Covid vaccine, ran for governor of Tokyo in the July 2020 election with a striking campaign declaring that the "coronavirus is just a cold."
Though he attracted a mere 0.15% of the vote, he has continued to campaign online on his YouTube ...
