Damn, we missed this one. Now here is something that would have livened up our Christmas lunch and dinner! We just heard about this fun promotional item made by everyone’s favorite Japanese masturbation aid and sex toys brand. For the holiday season this year, Tenga created a special party popper that resembles ones of its…

This is the grim reality for Comiket if you are a cosplayer. Sure, if you’re a popular cosplayer like Enako, no doubt you get your own team of staff to help manage the crowds, but for the amateurs and the small fry out there — of which they are many — you are nothing more…

Oh, the danger of the casual, candid selfie. Idols from groups like AKB48 have always sold themselves as regular girls that are not out of your league. They are “the idols that you can meet” — especially at hand-shaking events where fans pay to do so. Part of this appeal is cultivated by their social…

Just when you think Tenga couldn’t get any more mainstream, along comes another development to prove you wrong. Tenga is always a savvy one when it comes to promotion, as its Christmas popper recently showed. The Apple of Japanese adult toys (for men and women) has frequently engaged in clever stunts and campaigns to raise…

At the end of last year, we reported on a batch of high-profile photo book releases, including by seiyuu Sumire Uesaka. But as was generously pointed out by an eager reader, another major voice actress also released a photo book that is very worthy of attention: none other than the recently divorced, sexy jukujo Rie…

As spotted on Twitter by Unseen Japan, a recently announced survey about sex had some troubling results for people in Japan. The survey asked “What’s the most pleasurable thing for you?” and, not surprisingly, sex came out top in most countries, though “delicious food” was the top-ranked response in Japan. Any quick glance at the…

Here’s a fail that will become something of a classic. McDonald’s Japan has promised customers an “adult cream pie” experience for its latest release. Is this some fantastic adult video that takes place inside branches of Mickey D’s? No, it’s a creamy, sweet pie. But the unfortunate choice of naming has given this new dessert…

One of two women arrested for stealing over ¥30 million in Kabukicho, Tokyo’s major red-light district, had a secret porn past. Nana Nishikawa (25) and Serina Nagano (22) formed the pair, nicknamed “Reiwa Cat’s Eye” after the current era and 1980s manga by Tsukasa Hojo about female thieves. The gang was pursued by Shinjuku police,…

In December 2019, it was reported that 61-year-old Japanese politician Yasuhiro Ozata (小里泰弘) was asked to pay a “break-up fee” (solatium) by a much-younger woman with whom he was having an affair. The Liberal Democratic Party member of the House of Representatives and former Cabinet minister allegedly paid Yuno Morita (森田由乃) ¥100,000 per night during…

It should have been an innocent shot of the young woman at work. Instead, a photo of AKB48’s Yui Yokoyama backstage during a show by the idol supergroup has sparked a netizen frenzy. Yui Yokoyama is shown in the foreground but, behind her, a member of AKB48 is shown naked except for some panties. The…
