In what may be every foreign otaku’s dream come true or the stuff of nightmares, Yuko Oshima has been snapped by the lens of a tabloid photographer on an intimate date with a foreigner. The lucky man is apparently an American. (Incidentally, Oshima is herself a quarter American, which may or may not be relevant.)…

Japanese onaholes always seem to have a new way to surprise us, whether it is their design or name or box art. In this case, it’s the inspiration. Sure, we are well used to onaholes drawing on all kinds of source materials for parodies and the like. But this time, it’s a transcultural approach to…

We’re a little late to the party with this but our favorite Twitter account of the moment is @shinya_1972_, which has been posting alluring images of beautiful women since May 2018. There is no information in the profile and no links to speak of, but it seems like “Shinya” is a photographer (born in 1972?)…

Voice actress and singer Sumire Uesaka is famous for being cute, of course, and also having an obsession with the Soviet Union. Now she possibly has another feather in her bow. The 27-year-old idol amply exploits her bust, lips, and other physical assets in the video for “Bon kyu bon wa kare no mono” (very…

We all need the touch of the others when we are lonely — and the hand of another can be particularly, well, handy. The best solution we’ve ever seen has been the Man’s SOM Hand Type Handjob Machine, which is a bestselling masturbot that is exactly what its name suggests. If you don’t want to…

This is the latest nude selfie lady (裏垢女子) that caught our eye. She’s apparently a “young Japanese wife.” We can’t prove this with any certainty, but we can definitely say that she has breasts and pale Asian skin to die for. While she sometimes uses filters to hide her face and identity, this is often…

A new commercial for German DIY store chain Hornbach has stirred controversy. It shows two unkempt and decidedly unhandsome white men getting all sweaty outside in the garden, watched by two scientific-looking bods. The men are then instructed to strip for the observers and hand over their apparently smelly briefs. The scene cuts to an…

When the new Japanese era name of Reiwa was announced on April 1st, sparking intense speculation about how best to translate it into English, our first thought was: that could be a great porn star’s name! Admittedly the kanji characters (令和) are unusual, so it would have to be a homonym. Unfortunately we couldn’t find…

Virtual dating games and services are very well-established in Japan, and YouTube is the next logical step in this evolution. One of the biggest virtual YouTuber idols at the moment is Shiro-chan, whose videos offer private dining experiences. Now the Japanese virtual YouTuber Note Takehana has upped the stakes with a crowdfunding campaign to remake…

We think we probably do more than enough damage to Brand Japan by our daily blog posts without perpetuating media myths about “sexless Japan.” We see a lot of articles and coverage of this topic, which we feel is a real problem but nonetheless also exaggerated by sensational, mostly foreign reporting. Nonetheless, we like to…
