Remember Yasumasa Yonehara? Super big a few years ago, he's the instantly recognisable bald Japanese photographer with that habit of taking slutty pictures of slutty girls in hotel rooms. What a guy.
Yes, he's one of those people who just proves that if you are cocky enough and say you are a photographer, you can apparently get almost any woman to pose for you.
Perhaps that's why half the male foreigners we seem to meet in Japan claim to be photographers (the other half claim to be DJs).
Yonehara has now turned his attention to swimwear. After all, it is summer.
We have no ...
It seems that the world can't get enough of the alluring world of Manabu Koga's Underwater Knee-High Girls.
After first seducing us in 2013, the conceit of having cute girls in slinky swimming costumes and knee-high socks shot underwater has not got old.
In fact, as Koga has added gimmicks like props and worked with the likes of "flat-chested" lingerie designer Gomi Hayakawa. The swimsuits in the photo books and exhibitions have even become actual products (in collaboration with sexy swimsuit brand Realise), fans have continued to flock to his vision.
Three photo books later, ...
As if the front-zipper Realise swimsuit isn't enough for people to get excited about, now comes news that the swimming costumes featured in the "Underwater Knee-High Girls" series of aquatic photo books by Manabu Koga will also go on sale.
The third photography book by Koga was released in September, with the theme this time being pairs of girls diving underwater, who link arms to form "cubes". Well, the models were already erotic enough. Now we have hints of aquatic lesbianism to boot!
The two swimming costumes being sold by Village Vanguard have actually been developed for ...
Remember the Realise front-zipper swimsuit?
Perhaps the hottest, most tantilizing swimming costume we've seen, it inspired its own meme.
Originally the front-zipper swimsuit by Realise was modeled by the ravishing and appropriately busty Gravure model Miyako Akane.
"Japanese culture to the world" is Realise's slogan. While we're not sure if official government tourism bodies would agree, we share their ethos.
Well, now their "image model" is Umi and boy does the E-cup model look good in the front-zipper swimsuit.
This is Umi on a non-Realise ...
Remember that (minor) fuss generated by the incredibly sexy front-zipper swimsuit by Realise, as shown off by busty Gravure model Miyako Akane?
Well, now Village Vanguard, the bookstore chain that likes to stock wacky merchandise, is also offering the fetish swimsuit. Apparently this is news enough to generate some web articles here and there.
Frankly, we disagree BUT we do love these pictures of a model showing off the swimsuit. Imagine your girlfriend wearing that!
There seems to be a new addition, though we don't think it's officially included. Check out the quasi-Venetian ...
Swimsuit makers Realise decided to release a very sexy front zipper swimming costume.
They got Gravure model Miyako Akane to show off how good it looks.
Now that's certainly one way to get people's attention on the beach.
This alone would be worthy of our attention.
But Realise's sexy and alluring design unwittingly inspired a whole meme in its own right.
After Realise released some publicity images of the swimsuit design, the Twittersphere immediately got to work making their own NSFW erotic illustrated versions of how the same swimsuit might ...
A walk through Shinjuku or Shibuya in particular is literally like walking through a parade of hundreds of hot girls. It sometimes seems that every second girl is drop-dead gorgeous.
Sometimes what really makes the girls stand out are the clothes they wear -- or their lack of them. A quite attractive girl can suddenly be elevated by wearing a striking yellow dress or by having short silver dyed hair.
But what about bikinis? We see a lot of skimpily, even scantily-clad ladies in Tokyo during the summer but you won't normally catch girls actually in swimsuits walking down the streets of ...
As a promo for the upcoming film Sweet Poolside, a special swimwear cafe is opening in Akihabara for four dates only.
School Swimwear Cafe will be open on June 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th only. Not surprisingly the waitresses will be in swimsuit cosplay.
As we know, Japanese swimsuits are one-piece blue affairs and a staple of any decent fantasy in Japan, so this cafe is going to be a dream come true for many.
This cafe is a promo for the film Sweet Poolside. The movie is an adaptation of a cult manga by Shuzo Oshimi about school swimmers. The plot revolves around a cute girl in the ...
Like girls in knee-high socks? Tick.
Like girls in swimsuits? Tick.
Then you will definitely like Underwater Knee-High Girls by Manabu Koga, a photobook that goes on sale at the end of August.
Why have one fetish when you can have two?
Koga is known for underwater photography, such as in the Mika Ninagawa film Helter Skelter.
Koga's project features around 100 photos of smiling and alluring ladies underwater while wearing the cosplayer's favorite kind of footwear.
So what do you think? Is this aquatic malarkey ...
Another day, another new brand opens up a store in Tokyo. This time it's Desigual, the Spanish clothes shop, which held a "seminaked [sic] party" to celebrate the opening of its new Japanese branch in Harajuku on June 22nd.
People started to appear the night before and numbers had already exceeded the 100 limit by nine o'clock when the reception opened.
Why? Because if you came wearing a swimsuit, you could take home whatever you wanted in the store -- for free!
The folks waiting outside were given gowns to wear and protect their modesty, but once inside they were semi-naked ...
