Mineo is a mobile virtual network operator. It offers a range of services. As reported by Rocketnews 24, apparently one of these is making giant (and we mean, GIANT) anime hug pillows! Mineo is so big now they even have a mascot, Maineo-tan. In this video they showed off a new blow-up hug pillow of…

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Move over, Gravure idols. Move over, music idols like AKB48. The sexiest and sexiest-dressed ladies we encounter in daily life are the tantalizing posters we see on the Japanese lingerie shops. In particular, Peach John and Ravijour, kind of the Victoria’s Secret of Japan, never fail…

Following in the wake of Chubbiness, another high-profile idol group has been founded with larger ladies Pottya features five members chosen out from 2,146 heavier ladies who auditioned (there’s some serious demand to join these groups!). The rotund ladies have a combined weight of 380kg (838 lb)! They recently held their first publicity event in…

Actress and Gravure model Eriko Sato (Satoeri) has announced her shock marriage. Not only is she pregnant (whoops, what’s a condom?) but her new husband is an older man… and a foreigner. It’s typical of Eriko Sato that she would choose a wealthy middle-aged for a much-anticipated husband. She is 33 to his 45 years….

Charlie Hebdo got itself into tragic trouble over its depictions of Islam. In Japan, an equivalent would be if you tried to fictionalize the Imperial Family. People have tried it and have ended up dead. But only slightly less powerful is the yakuza-connected entertainment world, which holds a massive sway over the press. Only the…

We all like to “play doctor” sometimes. Needless to say, there are all sorts of cosplay adult toys for doing this (including this awesome new “syringe play” toy). But when you are deceiving women in this fantasy, that’s a different matter. A man has been arrested by Japanese police for “allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting…

Parody is a big part of the Japanese adult industry, which never takes itself too seriously and loves to create toys overtly (and unofficially) parodying something, whether that be a famous people, idol group, anime, and even drink products. At the end of last year, a parody JAV title was made that had a lot…

That is a question that is often on our minds. The girls we tend to see with foreign guys around Tokyo can very roughly be divided into two social categories: (1) Very middle-class and “normal”, even a little conservative (2) Very outgoing and non-Japanese, like a “party girl”. Now we’re not saying there aren’t some…

It seems rarely a week goes by without another survey appearing in the media with worrying stats confirming that Japan is “sexless“. Sekkusu-banare, the media dubs it — literally “drifting away from sex”. Well, a survey carried by the Japan Family Planning Association has some shocking results: around half of Japanese married couples are “sexless.”…

When Yuzu Sakurai appeared in her first Japanese porn film at the end of last year, people were surprised that it was simultaneously announced as her last. At her debut, she was already retiring! This “one-time-only” (ipponkagiri) debut has been common in the past too. In Sakurai’s case, people have speculated it was family opposition…
