Makita, or at least her Twitter account, told the world that all idols are ill-educated and that they…

Joining the recent silliness of Condom Day in the (ever-increasing) list of odd anniversaries in Japan, “Kiss Day” is celebrated on May 23rd because it is the day that the film Hatachi no seishun (20-Year-Old Youth) was released in 1946.

Yes, finally! Japan is getting its first ever shunga exhibition, opening in Tokyo this September.

A judge has made a ruling which should mean hostesses and hostess club mama-san’s (the older ladies who own and/or manage the club) can rest easy.

Boyfriend “rental” services have been around in Japan for a while and there are even virtual versions. You can get “old guys”, young guys, and of course there are female equivalents too.
