Like that perennial stumper “Where do elephants go to die?”, the question of what happens to all the scores of AKB48 idols once they “graduate” is often on our minds. Sure, some go on to mildly successful acting careers. But for the most, there is only oblivion or a career in porn. Faced with this…

Amazon got busted! Not even the biggest online retailer in the world is safe from the cops. The Japanese police have raided the Amazon Japan office on suspicion of assisting the sale of child pornography. On Friday, cops raided the Tokyo headquarters of Amazon Japan, plus the distribution center in Chiba Prefecture (ironically, you can…

Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held in Tokyo on Sunday January 25th at an inconspicuous venue near Harajuku. There were 96 booths, including cosplayers, idols, bondage artists, and more, spread out over six seriously packed floors, plus a basement showing the “Underground Fetish Film Festival” screenings. Feti-Fes was first held in January 2013, since then it…

Mineo is a mobile virtual network operator. It offers a range of services. As reported by Rocketnews 24, apparently one of these is making giant (and we mean, GIANT) anime hug pillows! Mineo is so big now they even have a mascot, Maineo-tan. In this video they showed off a new blow-up hug pillow of…

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Move over, Gravure idols. Move over, music idols like AKB48. The sexiest and sexiest-dressed ladies we encounter in daily life are the tantalizing posters we see on the Japanese lingerie shops. In particular, Peach John and Ravijour, kind of the Victoria’s Secret of Japan, never fail…

Following in the wake of Chubbiness, another high-profile idol group has been founded with larger ladies Pottya features five members chosen out from 2,146 heavier ladies who auditioned (there’s some serious demand to join these groups!). The rotund ladies have a combined weight of 380kg (838 lb)! They recently held their first publicity event in…

Actress and Gravure model Eriko Sato (Satoeri) has announced her shock marriage. Not only is she pregnant (whoops, what’s a condom?) but her new husband is an older man… and a foreigner. It’s typical of Eriko Sato that she would choose a wealthy middle-aged for a much-anticipated husband. She is 33 to his 45 years….

Charlie Hebdo got itself into tragic trouble over its depictions of Islam. In Japan, an equivalent would be if you tried to fictionalize the Imperial Family. People have tried it and have ended up dead. But only slightly less powerful is the yakuza-connected entertainment world, which holds a massive sway over the press. Only the…

We all like to “play doctor” sometimes. Needless to say, there are all sorts of cosplay adult toys for doing this (including this awesome new “syringe play” toy). But when you are deceiving women in this fantasy, that’s a different matter. A man has been arrested by Japanese police for “allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting…

Parody is a big part of the Japanese adult industry, which never takes itself too seriously and loves to create toys overtly (and unofficially) parodying something, whether that be a famous people, idol group, anime, and even drink products. At the end of last year, a parody JAV title was made that had a lot…
