If you’re anything like us, you like nude selfies. Not necessarily your own or even your partner’s, but perusing those of others posted generously online. We’ve covered some great examples of these over the years and they never cease to get us in the right mood. But if you happen to like the ones posted…

Omotenashi indeed. Japan is still losing the fight against sexually transmitted diseases and infections, it seems, judging from the last syphilis figures that were announced at the start of the year. In an uncanny, somewhat depressing repetition of a similar report from January last year, the syphilis epidemic shows no signs of slowing. In fact,…

Some guys are not afraid to get their hands dirty — or, we should say, their face, lips, and tongue. And this includes Japanese guys: they don’t mind giving head. At least, the rapper KOHH doesn’t mind going down on his girlfriend, though perhaps that’s not surprising, given that he’s dating the Japanese fashion model…

Being born at the tail end of the Showa era, we’ve always had a sense of nostalgia for those pre-digital days. In addition to a soft spot for old pink films, we also love to browse retro erotica and vintage porn. In past posts we’ve looked at 1960s nude shoots and love hotels. About a…

Prospective college students are now sitting down in halls around Japan for the various exams that will allow them to enter universities. It’s a stressful time, but fortunately there’s plenty of strangeness to keep everyone amused. Some otaku like to wear their favorite characters on their clothes for good luck. Some people cannot resist bringing…

AKB48 is said to be phasing out swimsuit and lingerie photo shoots for its young members, perhaps out of fear of foreign accusations of peddling lolicon and child pornography as Tokyo prepares to for the 2020 Olympics. There is speculation that the Akihabara-inspired supergroup, which builds followings for its female idols through swimsuit and underwear…

Chikan is a chronic problem on public transport in Japan that doesn’t seem to be getting better any time soon. Despite the introduction of women-only carriages during rush hour and the display of posters and “shame stickers” warning offenders that groping is a crime, the number of men who do it never seems to decrease….

We frequently encounter amateur Japanese nude selfies in our daily explorations of the netherspheres of the web and frankly there are just too many of them to post. But this recent “goddess of Twitter” is simply stunning to overlook. The Japanese female college student posted full-frontal (hair nude) images of herself in her home, giving…

We’re late to blog this but we’ve just come across this Abema TV report from the end of December about love hotels and Christmas. Christmas in Japan is not a family event: it’s an event celebrated by couples on Christmas Eve, which usually means a romantic meal somewhere, followed by sex either at home or…

Another minor scandal in the Japanese entertainment world is here: Karen Kimijima (also sometimes spelled Kimishima) has been arrested for using cocaine. Police from Fujisawa, Kanagawa (of all places!), took her into custody on February 5th, according to media reports. The sexy dancer (and former member of the go-go dancer Cyberjapan Dancers unit) and model…
