Japan’s parking lots are pretty cool, especially the tower ones that take cars up for storage in cool elevator machines. It seems it’s a competitive business as the owners are now getting imaginative. So much so that Osaka’s Nipponbashi has come up with a novel scheme to attract young male drivers. We’ve heard of maid…

Top idols AKB48 have been promoting almost every product in Japan recently and prominent among the campaigns has been the one for travel agency H.I.S. Though you sadly can’t actually book a trip with any of the lovely ladies, you can go some of the way there with the latest addition to the marketing smorgasbord:…

Tokyo’s AKB48 has already spawned NKE48 (Nagoya), NMB48 (Namba, Osaka), HKT48 (Hakata, or Fukuoka) and SDN48 (adult version)…Now comes JKT48 for, er, Jakarta! JKT48 is a new overseas experiment from the makers of Japan’s top idol groups. If it’s a hit perhaps we’ll see other bands forming in Singapore, Paris and elsewhere? I’m just surprised…

If you’ve ever gone to any expo, conference or industry event in Japan, you’ll know that there are always hot girls in skimpy clothes, handing out merchandise, leaflets, and just generally trying to attract attention to the booth they are representing. The cynic in me says these ladies — known as “booth babes” or companions…

You join a website specializing in getting Japanese women. It’s available in English, French, Korean and various others languages. You meet a girl, tell her you are a doctor, and impress her with your Japanese skills. Hey presto, the girl’s yours. Well, Fumiko married Anthony Simoneau, a former dental technician in the Navy, who she…

Man! That was a big shock! I was just browsing the website of a new girl band called Flower. Wow, these girls are hot, I was thinking. They sure are. They’re also super young! Yep, the oldest lass is 18 and they go down (ahem, not like that…maybe) as low as 14! Yes, you read…

Here’s a round-up of some fun and funky hentai porn or otherwise just weird kinky Japanese adult movies… Japan is a country that is rapidly aging. Is it any surprise that people want to watch folk their own age going at it? These adorable two are in their seventies! Watch out for Maria Ozawa when…

Following scandals with drugs — including another one recently where she fled abroad for a while — H-cup idol Minako Komukai (小向美奈子) shows no sign of giving up. After losing her job through telling the truth about the industry (that idols have to have sex to progress into the mainstream entertainment world), previously she turned…

We just spotted this interview with Shigeo Tokuda in the Guardian. Tokuda-san is 77 and has starred in over 350 JAV flicks, making even veterans like Maria Ozawa seem like newbies. But he hasn’t just been in so many because he is a long-timer. No, he only started when he was 60 and so in…
