The tabloids are salivating over the news that Atsuko Maeda, the former starlet of AKB48, may be dating kabuki actor Matsuya Onoe. Though there have been rumors before and drunken pictures seemingly showing Atsuko in the arms of a young man after some late-night partying, this will be the first public romance for the former…

We all like tits. Sometimes in Japan there is a dearth of decent-sized breasts, but to dismiss the whole nation’s assets over a stereotype is naive. You just have to search for the breasts.

Otaku of the world, rejoice. Your dreams have come true at last. Virtual idol Hatsune Miku is now “fully” interactive. We already can see and hear her, but now an app allows you to touch and smell her — and, best of all, to sleep with her. The Sleep With Her app started when an…
