There’s no getting around it: Japanese girls don’t have the largest breasts in the world. In fact, many are very petite in the bust department and some are just plain flat-chested. Japanese slang lesson #256: tsurupeta — “flat-chested”; hinnyu — “tiny breasts”. However, we don’t recommend you try these out in the nightclubs of Tokyo!…

SDN48 was the short-lived “sexy” version of AKB48. Although the smaller sister group had its fans, it ultimately only lasted three years perhaps because, with so many regular gravure idols out there, it didn’t seem to have a point. The popularity of AKB48 et al with a certain demographic rests on how they are “innocently”…

Artist and manga-ka Megumi Igarashi is not afraid to shock, in spite of her innocent smiles. After all, this is a young woman whose artist name is Rokudenashi-ko (Good-for-nothing girl) and who calls herself a “deko-man” (decorated pussy) artist, a “pussy columnist” and who is a member of the “Japan Genitalia Art Association”. She held…

We’ve just heard of this new documentary which takes a look at one of our favorite places, the love hotel. While we don’t like the preview’s slightly cheap pandering to exoticism and stereotypes about Japan (“in a society where conformity is everything and public affection cannot be shown…” — really?) that just aren’t the whole…

It’s probably uncontroversial to say that Japan is a culture in which more men use professional sex services than in many other countries. Japanese men have few qualms about using call girls and prostitutes. Japan is also a country with a vast porn industry. All in all, this creates men less embarrassed by their liking…

We have no source for this other than Imgur (over 1 million views at time of writing!) and The Huffington Post, so it could be bogus, but we couldn’t resisting re-blogging the exploits of this hapless “lonely Japanese guy” and his efforts to “construct” a girlfriend for himself. While he could have gone down the…

Japan’s current cause célèbre has ended in a victory for art, personal liberty and eroticism with the release of self-proclaimed “vagina” artist vagina artist Rokudenashi-ko/Megumi Igarashi from police custody. She was arrested earlier this week for using Campfire to raise funds for a project involving making a 3D printing of her own genitals. “I have…

What to do about Japan? Its population is aging and its birth rate is falling. That’s the double whammy and not a week goes by without some new farfetched plan being proposed by some idiotic politico. Well, this one might just be the most outlandish one we’ve heard so far and the latest in a…

Will this finally take the crown for AKB48 Fan of the Century? As reported by our friends at JapanTrends.com, one admirer of Yuki Kashiwagi has succeeded in making a working android of her, the Yukirin Robot. AKB48 fans aren’t known for their subtlety or restraint. From purchasing up crazy amounts of CDs and merchandise to…

Japanese weekly tabloid Shukan Post has done a mammoth public service in conducting a superb survey of Japanese women to find out their grooming habits. As in, their bush hair grooming habits! Shukan Post ran an online survey asking 1,000 women about the nether regions. The ladies were aged from 20 to 69, so we…
