The Asahi Shimbun has an interesting translated story following up on the “controversial court ruling that equates a bar hostess having sex with a customer to prostitution”. We reported on this in May, when a judge said a hostess mama-san was simply doing makura eigyo (“pillow business”) by sleeping with a client. Lawyers specializing in…

Tokyo Gigantic Girls is an insane fantasy brought to video life. Giant-sized cute Japanese girls are roaming the cityscape of Tokyo in all their leggy glory. A maid. A schoolgirl. An OL. A jogger.

The exhibits are based on five years’ worth of materials! Of course, this is basically zettai ryouiki (forbidden zone) in a more artistic setting. The show runs…
