The new official mascot for Shima City in Mie Prefecture is too erotic and has inspired a campaign to get it abolished. The “ama-moe” character Megu Aoshima eroticizes the ama female free-divers who fish for pearls. Shima is famous for pearl-diving in Ago Bay. It will also host the 2016 G7 Summit, meaning world leaders…

This is something we don’t talk about enough on this blog: sex and the disabled. Luckily, the non-profit NOIR is doing work to raise awareness of the issue. Since the release of film The Sessions, the idea of how disabled people can have sex drives has gained more positive traction in America. What about Japan?…

The life of a female idol isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You don’t get wealth or riches unless your agency deems you worth a higher salary. You don’t get drugs — they’re strictly taboo in the Japanese entertainment industry, at least on paper. And you don’t even get sex, since your agency tries…

We’ve always had a thing for Risa Hirako. She’s 44 now and looks as hot as hell. She’s a model and tarento, and has dabbled in a singing career. Luckily her gigs show no signs of drying up just yet. Here she is in a new lingerie advert. Sadly she doesn’t really strip off but…

We always knew that Haruna Kojima was sweet but now there’s proof at last. Here she is adorning the cover of Sweet magazine in all her naked glory. Okay, so thanks to some clever angles you can’t see her special parts but you get the idea. Considering how many AKB48 and sister group ladies have…

Snip snip! In a seeming two-fingers-up to those stereotypes of herbivore “sexless” young Japanese guys, one graduate student has proved not only is he passionate about his lover, he’s willing to go to jail for it! According to an AFP news wire story doing the rounds, a Japanese man has attacked the older lover of…

This odd video imagines a park date with Shibuya gyaru model Momo Tanaka. It is filmed in a way similar to hamedori porn in Japan, where the AV is shot from the POV of the man enjoying the attention of the female performer(s). It ends with the lucky guy being able to rest his head…

Make the first “AI doll” based on gravure idol Ai Shinozaki. First off, there’s some serious wordplay going on here: “AI doll” is aidoru (idol), while Shinozaki’s name also references “artificial intelligence.” In other words, some geeky boffins are planning to create a fully digital version of Shinozaki. Virtual idols already exist aplenty, from Vocaloid…

Being a cosplayer can be painful. But some ladies view looking cute and sexy as more important than their health. At the recent Comiket 88 (August 14-16th), one cute cosplayer wore fishnet stockings and drew a lot of attention for her leggy charms. Ayane Maro was doing cosplay of Misa Amane from Death Note. However,…

There’s sexy and then there’s so sexy you can’t control yourself. We remember when we went to the Fetish Fest and saw gyaru idol non up-close. We almost exploded in our pants. This is an example of something we are almost glad we are only experiencing online. If we had seen the Cyberjapan Dancers in…
