“Let’s play sex,” the guide explains.

We’ve seen these kinds of videos before but they are always fun to watch.

This time it’s The Hotelion in Sendai that provides YouTuber Abroad in Japan with the opportunity to go inside and check out the rooms.

As we know, the somewhat infamous hotels with crazy themes are actually something of a rarity — most hotels are relatively ordinary.

But the amenities are certainly special and, while the the video revels in the unusual themed rooms available at The Hotelion, it wisely focuses on these details, too. (Also note the non-scented body soap. It’s like that for a particular reason.) The video also highlights the discretion and anonymity available to guests at a hotel.

Another interesting point is that, because it’s a regional hotel, guests will come by car. The hotel has alcohol available for low prices, which you might think is asking for trouble. But the video explains that this is a sales tactic: guests drink and then end up staying overnight, rather than just a few hours, since they can no longer legally drive home.

Some of the rooms not featured in the video but visible on the hotel website include one with a rock climbing wall and another with a boxing bag.

School of Youth 2: The Unofficial History of the Gisaeng Break-In is a strange sex comedy set in a village school in the late Joseon period and portrays the shenanigans that go on there.

There are several explicit sex scenes, including some nice cowgirl and doggy shots. If you like Korean girls in historical Korean robes getting down and dirty on the floor, you’ll enjoy the scenes if you can wade through the dull comedy in between.

Information about the 2016 film in English is sorely lacking but we can tell you it stars Ji Eun-seo, who was also in the erotic film Mutual Relations.

It is a sequel to the 2014 film School of Youth: The Corruption of Morals, which starred Bae Seul-ki and Sung Eun (below).

More images have emerged from Minami Minegishi’s new photo book.

There was some initial buzz about it last month over a preview “hand bra” picture that appeared.

Now some other images have appeared and they show Minami Minegishi at her slinky best.

“Watashi wa Watashi” (I am Me) is shot by famed nude photographer Meisa Fujishiro.

It went on release on July 12th but so far hasn’t been selling well. In fact, the major AKB48 photo book releases from Rino Sashihara and Haruna Kojima sold much better.

Now that Haruna Kojima will graduate AKB, the last original member left is 23-year-old Minegishi, but even this status isn’t enough to boost her sales. Perhaps fans will demand she shave her head again in shame?

If you like dancing and you like gravure idols with big breasts, then head to Circus Tokyo on August 10th. The enticingly named N.U.D.E. Vol.1: Our Paradise promises to have six top gravure models manning the DJ booth.

The ladies spinning the beats are: Tsukasa Wachi, Sara Oshino, Rina Hashimoto, Aya Hazumi, Haruka Kai, and Airi Shimizu.

Despite the name of the event, they won’t be naked. Still, this is a great opportunity to see a real gravure model up-close and in the flesh.

The ladies will be choosing the music, dancing and “posing”, so expect to see some serious cleavage on display.

The privilege doesn’t come cheap. Tickets cost ¥3,000 in advance and ¥3,500 on the door.

We have no idea of the scale of this event. It might be pretty small or it might be crammed with hot, sweaty man all eager to see their favorite glamor model. The playlist is already online.

It will be broadcast on internet TV channel AbemaTV.

The latest naked selfie exhibitionist to heat up the Japanese internet is this beauty, and does she have a bust or what?!

She hides her face with some cutesy anime-style filters, but her body is there in all its adult glory for us to wonder at. Apparently she’s 22 years old and seems to enjoy sitting down totally naked on her chair. Man, we would love to be that chair.

She’s not quite paipan but you can clearly see her pussy in the pictures.

In Japanese, these “Twitter nude goddesses” are known as uraaka (ura-aka) or uraaka joshi, often specifically referring to students who pose naked on social media. Take a look at the Twitter tag to see what we mean.

What happens when you use a Japanese massager vibrator with Pokemon Go?

It’s a simple question, yet an essential one. So essential someone had to find out.

The “massager” in question is the Daito Thrive Handy Massager, which is similar to the Hitachi Massager. As we know, this is the massager that started a revolution in Japanese adult toys and porn: it soon acquired a second usage as a vibrator and became a staple of adult video, leading to a slew of massager vibe imitators. Today, “massager” is a practically euphemism for “vibrator”.

According to the makers on Rocket News 24, they were looking for ways to hatch their Pokemon Go eggs without actually walking around.

Before giving our phone a relaxing massage, we had two Pokémon eggs on our incubator. Both had a hatching threshold of five kilometers (3.1 miles), with one at 4.4 kilometers and the other at 3.9 kilometers of progress.

As the massager did its thing, our on-screen Pokémon Trainer meandered his way around the game map, despite the fact that we hadn’t moved an inch in the real world. After 10 minutes, we once again checked our incubator, and found out that we were now 400 meters closer to hatching our eggs!

A few minutes later and the egg hatched.

However, arguably, it’s a lot of electricity and effort to achieve something you could do simply by walking around — plus there’s the potential for damage to your phone, too.

Still, we love the idea of introducing massagers into the world of Pokemon Go. We wonder what you can do with other sex toys?

Onaholes and masturbators come in all shapes and sizes, and also offer penetration experiences that go beyond the conventional vaginal or anal designs.

For example, there are urethra penetration fetish sex toys, which imitate the sensation of having intercourse with a pee hole. Think we are joking? No, these are awesome.

We have also seen “nipple” and breast penetration onaholes — i.e., not paizuri where you slide yourself over and between the breasts, but actually penetrate into the nipple. Saying that, there is also a great paizuri-style masturbator that has a horizontal hole in the middle.

Heck, there’s even an ear penetration onahole if you fancy the idea of pushing your cock into a human hearing organ.

Well, this is comparatively tame, then. But it’s a must for anyone with a navel penetration fetish or just a smidgen of curiosity about it.

Navel penetration might sound painful or just pointless to some, but the Hesokan Navel Fuck Penetration Onahole allows you to enter this hallowed world of the have-dones and have-not-dones.

She has a regular pussy to enjoy, but you will definitely want to try sticking it into her belly button, which is especially stretchy and open for the express purpose of navel penetration.

Okay, guys and girls, what’s next?!

The wonders of Japanese television continue to amaze us.

Now we have Sukapa! Suei Taikai, a “water contest” program that consists of half-naked Japanese female AV porn stars playing such games as licking an popsicle off a man’s crotch or transporting a giant ball between two girls’ busts, and then over slippery blocks floating on a pool. Quality TV indeed.

The performers included the newly minted AV queen Yua Mikami, aka Momona Kito formerly of SKE48.

Others strutting their stuff were Miri Mizuki, Umi Hirose, Hibiki Otsuki, Saki Hatsumi, Ruka Kane, and more.

We like how the young ladies cover their breasts when not required to bare them for the games, even though they spend much of their professional lives naked on screen. Even porn stars have some modesty, it seems.

Perhaps it goes without saying that this show is broadcast on BS SPTV, part of the same SKY PerfecTV satellite TV network responsible for the joy that is the “boob aid” grope-a-bust event during a charity telethon every year.

YouTuber Kei recently posted a video that is generating quite a lot of discussion and views.

Well, given its provocative and click-baity title, it’s not surprising: What the Japanese Think of Japanese Porn.

As Kei says, “Japan is famous for many things: its rich culture, Hello Kitty, and porn.” Yeah, put that on the 2020 Olympic Games posters.

He then proceeds to ask several young Japanese men and women for their views about Japanese AV, or porn.

Well, if one gentleman is to believed, men watch AV because of “certain needs” and “stress relief”. That’s quite the euphemism. “Watching porn is definitely necessary,” as another man insists.

The girls have some interesting responses to Kei’s questions, too. Japanese porn can’t be so popular abroad “because porn from overseas is better.” One anecdote is revealing: a “friend” of one of the girls (incidentally, by far the most attractive of the interviewees) showed an “Asian” (i.e. non-Japanese Asian) some AV and they were disgusted by it. Japanese AV truly is in a class of its own, then, even within Asia.

There is also an discussion on how AV stars are treated by society at large, such as how they will be referred to as “sexy celebrities” on television rather than calling them what they are.

Well, we won’t spoil it all: watch for yourself!

Watching the video also reminded us of this funny one from last year: Korean girls watch American Porn. Of course, porn is technically illegal in South Korea. That, combined with the differences in Asian and Korean ways of having sex and depicting sex on screen, adds up to some pretty amusing reactions.

The Japanese Twittersphere, specifically that surrounding gravure idols and the like, loves to come up with random “anniversaries” and celebrate them with themed pictures shared on the social network.

In the past, we’ve seen Condom Day on May 6th as well as women showing off their legs for Golden Week. There are meant to be many more, usually based on puns on Japanese words and numbers: July 5th as Bikini Day, May 10th at Maid Day, etc…

Well, apparently August 2nd was Panties Day, which resulted in various gravure idols and others doing what they do best: make our mouths water with lust with some incredible selfies.

Technically speaking, these probably aren’t quite panchira, since the ladies aren’t even bothering to wear skirts, but anyone with a hankering for nice lingerie on nice girls was surely happy when they checked Twitter on August 2nd.

Yuka Kuramochi, she of the incredible butt, was quick to post her contribution.

As was erotic photographer Kuchikaseya Moira.

Here is idol Mai Tsukamoto going all-American on us.

Let’s check those legs in close-up.

There seemed to be some confusion, though. A few others thought that it was Bunny Day. Not that we’re complaining.

The overseas media’s favorite bondage artist, Kinoko Hajime, continues his comeback.

After being arrested and his Ueno club shut down in 2014, Kinoko Hajime is now back for good. So much so that he can work with major fashion brands.

To celebrate the opening of the new Christian Dada store in Minami-Aoyama, Kinoko Hajime was invited to put on a unique shibari rope bondage performance inside the shop.

The ravishingly beautiful model in the show was Machiko. The photos, cast in crimson, really do justice to her classical looks.

With its bold red ropes, the interior of the new store itself is inspired by kinbaku. Its new autumn lineup also features a collaborator with photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, know for his erotic worldview.

As shibari goes, this is tame stuff — let’s call it shibari-lite — but we love how a commercial brand thinks it’s nice to celebrate a store opening with an event like this.

Come on, Tokyo, let’s have this sort of stuff in the 2020 Olympics opening ceremony!

Bravo! The Koreans have done it again. Another steamy mainstream film is here to whet your appetites.

A “lurid potboiler”, The Handmaiden is directed by Park Chan-wook of Oldboy and Thirst fame.

If the title sounds familiar, that’s because we already had erotic films like The Housemaid (starring Do-yeon Jeon) and The Servant (starring Jo Yeo-jeong). Naturally, this new arrival is also an explicit entry in this canon.

It is actually adapted from a British novel, Fingersmith, though with its setting changed to colonial-era Korea. It is about a rich heiress and the thief hired to be her maid, but then the two beautiful women fall in love.

Yes, that means only one thing: cue hot lesbian sex scenes. (This seems to be a recent trend in Korean cinema.)

The two women are played by Kim Min-hee and Kim Tae-ri. The latter is essentially debuting in the role, and her naked body is making quite an impact. Kim Min-hee is an accomplished actress, though her career has been hit by scandal after her affair was exposed with married Hong Sang-soo, who directed her in Right Now, Wrong Then in 2015 and is about 20 years older.

The cast also includes the lovely Moon So-ri, who has also done nude scenes before but not this time.

One critic wrote: “this film is simmering with genuine sexual tension. There’s explicit sex but more importantly, there’s longing, affection and intimacy between the maid, impressive newcomer Kim Tae-Ri, and her sexually inexperienced heiress, a layered turn from Kim Min-hee.”

Could this be the Korean Blue is the Warmest Color? At the very least, it looks set to launch the career of Kim Tae-ri in just the right way.

Notorious man-eating idol Rino Sashihara has followed up her butt-revealing, semi-nude photo book release with a very sexy shoot for the magazine Anan.

The August 17th issue has some very revealing shots of the slinky, sexually aggressive HKT48 idol.

The long-running magazine has become something iconic for its “sex” issues as well as its semi-nude photo shoots with mainstream actresses and models. Past eyebrow-raising covers include Nanao, Ryoko Yonekura, and Maomi Yuuki.

We could say it’s hair nude-lite: female celebrities who want to up their adult ante and make a splash, but don’t want to do a proper full-frontal shoot, can agree to an Anan shoot for just the right balance.

Sashihara, best known for her scandal that saw her demoted from AKB48 for a sex scandal back in 2012, has since risen to be probably the most popular idol in the AKB industry. She is not the first AKB idol to pose for Anan. In the past, we have seen Yuki Kashiwagi, Yuko Oshima, and Haruna Kojima (who has actually made several appearances).

A new exhibition in Tokyo focuses on the controversial issue of underage enjo kosai, or compensated dating.

The “We Were Bought” exhibition runs from August 11th to August 21st, featuring the photography, text and diaries of junior high or high school students (JK, joshi kousei) who have engaged in enjo kosai, a euphemism for prostitution

The exhibition is organized by 24 students and Colabo, a support group for female high school students. The students and other girls are aged between 14 and 26, and live all over Japan from Hokkaido to Kyushu.

There are around 100 exhibits on display, including photographs, diaries and pictures from the girls’ lives, such as the street corners where they used to stand or the wounds from where they would repeatedly self-harm.

Admission to the exhibition at Kagurazaka Session House costs ¥1,500.

We have recently seen a lot of overseas media attention on the so-called JK business, which is essentially enjo kosai under a new name. Compensated dating among junior and high school students became a big media topic in the 1990s but then slipped away into the pop culture slipstream. Of course it has continued and enjo kosai services for adults (i.e. women over 20) is widely advertised. It even has another euphemism: papakatsu (sugar daddy) culture. The versions that cater to men wanting to “date” students often operate under the guise of maid cafes or “osanpo” (walking) services.

The Kabe-Jiri Hard Butt Hole Masturbator is not only one of the best new buttocks onaholes around, it also celebrates one of our favorite underground Japanese sex fetishes.

The realistically hefty adult toy has an internal bone structure that simulates the sensation of a girl who is bent over through a hole in the wall with her beautiful ass ready for you to take her from behind.

As Kanojo Toys says, just slide your member inside her while resting your hands on her luscious hips and squeeze for a tighter, harder experience.

That’s all very nice, you might say, but ass and buttocks masturbators are a dime a dozen. However, this is much more than that.

Veteran readers and AV fans will spot that this is a replica of a common trope from Japanese pornography and adult comics, especially adult doujinshi.

The kabe-jiri is a woman “embedded” into a wall, with her ass sticking out and waiting for someone to take a closer look at it.

The opposite may be true, too, where the woman has a front side exposed as she sits inside the wall, waiting for passing men to slide up and penetrate her. Or how about these “pussy lockers”? I wish they had had these at school.

In a sense, it’s a development of the “public toilet” trope, where a woman is tried to a urinal or toilet to be treated any which way her male admirers desire.

Over the weekend, Comiket 90 was held under the scorching sun. Cue the ravishing display of sweaty and semi-naked bodies of young, nubile cosplayers, plus a whole host of lenses to snap away at these tempting ladies…

While there were no reports of insane fishnet stocking sunburn like last year, here are some of the highlights from the event.

Due to work on the Tokyo Olympic venues, part of the Odaiba location was shut off so some of the outdoor area where the cosplayers usually gather to pose was shut off. We really hope that the preparations for that boondoggle in 2020 don’t interfere with subcultures like cosplay that the Tokyo government doesn’t want to push in its “official” version of the city.

Some of the cosplayers drawing crowds included the slinky ladies Moe Iori and Komari Komachi.

Here is the cosplayer Mekatsu. Before you start spanking the monkey, by the way, Mekatsu is an otoko no ko. I.e. a crossdresser! Be careful what you wish for and who you try to snuggle up to at Comiket.

Pictures via KAI-YOU here and here.

Adult virtual reality has been one of the major stories of the year, from Japan’s first adult VR event in Akihabara to a virtual omorashi system that allows you to experience wetting yourself.

Even the recent Comiket was not safe from the influence of adult virtual reality.

First seen at the Akihabara event, the VR sexroid Nanai — a blow-up doll that you can have sex with as an anime girl in virtual reality — was showcased on Sunday to the curious public, fresh from enjoying the hordes of slender and sexy cosplayers outside in the blazing heat. (We’re not really sure if Nanai qualifies as a “sexroid” but that is what people are calling the system.)

Nanai-chan has now been upgraded with voice functions. Play with Nanai uses an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive headset combined with a standard Japanese blow-up doll.

This is a video from a demonstration that the developers, VRJCC, staged at an event in Koenji earlier in August.

The commercial implications are obvious for the system so we hope it gets a full release soon. Apparently there are ways to download and play the content, but it’s pretty complicated. They should make a full bundle of sex doll, headset and content.

Remember Ayaka Morikawa?

You probably don’t unless you are a hardcore AKB48 fan. In a former life Ayaka Morikawa was a member of the once-powerful music group from 2012 and 2015, but now she is 20 years old and attempting to move on.

Today she faces that terrible postmodern dilemma: what to do after “graduation”?

Some members start new careers in porn, others into mainstream acting and celebrity. Most others fade away into obscurity or are forced to use crowd-funding to get their projects off the ground.

Ayaka Morikawa possibly just took her first step towards AV with this bizarre movie, Kyokasho ni Nai! (Not in a Textbook! or Very Private Lesson), which also stars the curvy gravure idol Moemi Katayama. The film is in two parts and is an adaptation of the comedy manga series by Kazuto Okada. (It was also adapted into a Korean TV series, I Am Sam, a few years ago.)

The highlight is perhaps the guy with the giant boner or when Ayaka passes some tissues to a horny admirer. Quality cinema indeed.

The films received a light release in one movie theater in Tokyo in June.

Well, Ayaka may not have proven box-office gold this time, but a bit more flesh on her next venture and we suspect she can attract a few more punters.

Tenga continues its quest to conquer Japan and change attitudes toward masturbation.

It has really focused its business strategy on retail, pushing out small Tenga antenna shops around the country.

Sadly, this has come somewhat at the expense of developing any new sex toys that break new ground. There was the Men’s Loupe Sperm Viewer and the welcome return of the Flip Hole series with the recent Flip Zero, but we are still hoping for something really fresh to arrive in the near future.

Following the earlier branches it opened in Akihabara in Tokyo and Namba, Osaka, in 2015 and earlier this year, the Apple of Japan’s adult industry has kept on rolling out more mini shops around Japan.

The seventh opened in Yokohama at the end of July. This joins others in Umeda (Osaka), Gifu, Chiba, and Sapporo — yes, even those poor folks shivering in the cold winter of Hokkaido deserve better ways to masturbate. The eighth to open is one in Sendai this month.

The stores stock all the obvious Tenga sex toys: Tenga eggs, onacups, Flip Hole, and Iroha vibrator series, as well as also items previously only available online, such as t-shirts and other merchandise.

Many of these stores are really just converted sections of other shops, so the risk for Tenga is not so great. Wouldn’t it be awesome, though, if Tenga opened its own standalone showroom or store somewhere in central Tokyo? Like the way that Apple has its giant showroom on Omotesando or there is the small yet prominent Condomania along the same strip, why not a Tenga venue smack in the middle of Aoyama?! Now that would really make a difference.

The name’s Bond. David Bond.

Pick-up artist extraordinaire and nampa tutor David Bond is up to his usual tricks, as he demonstrates in this new video showcasing his latest exploits across Asia.

Bond previously caused a furore among netizens.

Watch as he takes in Japan, Thailand, South Korea, and more — all in his quest for Asian pussy.

This followed an even bigger online controversy over the imminent arrival of Julien Blanc, who is known for forcing girls into his crotch. Much of this was spearheaded on Twitter by angry foreign residents in Japan such as Jake Adelstein, who took a very moral high ground over Blanc’s aggressive, potentially illegal tactics. Blanc ended up having to cancel his event in Japan and defend himself on American national television.

The truth is, there are men just as sleazy and successful as Bond and Blanc all over Japan. They just don’t make it into a business model. Bond is selling his “idiot’s guide to getting laid in Japan” but our guide is simple: find an idiot to sleep with you, if that’s what you are after.
From what we can glean, central to David Bond’s technique seems to be having a wingman and a GoPro.

If you are confident and not afraid to make a fool of yourself, you will score with slutty girls, ladies without much upstairs in the brains department, or simply the very naive. Whether or not these encounters will actually be worthwhile or not is debatable. But if you are just looking for notches, then you will be able to get laid.

Our old room mate was sleeping with a new girl every couple of weeks. He even started a website about nightlife and hooking up in Tokyo, so David Bond is certainly not alone by any means.

It probably helps if you are tall or appear to have money, and probably being white (and perhaps blond) may give you an edge over other gaijin. Plus, if you are good-looking or speak Japanese, it’s also a big bonus, but these are not essential.
