Honestly, I’m not a pervert. I’m not running a site that recounts sexual encounters with Japanese girls, and there are no photos up womens’ dresses, no hidden onsen or dressing room videos here, nor am I offering a comprehensive guide to the sex shops of Kabukicho. But most people find my site by googling for “chikan” or “mouthcam, with “used panties” and “ass hair” bringing up the rear. (Har har.)
But seriously, I think I might have been the first source in the English-speaking world to recount the story about the reason behind Mixi‘s stock price’s nosedive. And I think I’m at least doing a litte to offset the widespread belief that there are used panty vending machines on every streetcorner in Japan because there are no used panty vending machines in Japan.
Maybe google ignores the word ‘not’? Who knows…
So I’ve heard hong kong has used bra vending machines, imagine that!
*google hits +5*
I remember that one post you had about using your mouthcam to take pictures of girls with extraordinary amounts of ass hair using panty vending machines. That was a great podcast.
Let’s not forget the upcoming “Mr. Pav’s Sweet, Honey Bod” video.
@Eric, Oh sure, you just had to point that one out. But other than that, my site’s as pure as the freshly fallen snow.
*waits for flame war & at least 10 referrals to the pr0n industry that somehow took the term ‘freshly fallen snow’ in some way*
@Rich: And for a simple donation to your site via Paypal, one might possibly be able to see this mythical video thanks to the new and improved Chumbucket technologies. Possibly. If it did exist, I know that’s where it would be.
Some fatherly advice – watch out for Dave & Eric. They’ll either make you money or get you arrested.
And, just to fan the flames a little, what happened to the hostess bar podcast? Didn’t you mention it was to become a videocast?
Not sure which I enjoy more, your video/podcasts or the comments.
@Dad (Pap): My friend who sang in a hostess bar lost her job recently; I don’t know if she’ll want to talk about it now. I should find the hostess bar recording and just put it up. Chances are it’s not as sub-par as I think.
I’d like to do a video montage of Ginza, going from the main strip with all the brand name stores to the back alley pubs, snacks and hostess bars, and showing the men and women there. It’s an amazing place to go people watching and try to fathom how much money must be exchanging hands there every night.
By all means, put it up.
It’s strange, why places like Ginza, Akihabara and the like, are so fascinating to gaijin like me. I certainly don’t like shopping crowds in the States. I suppose its like you said, I never got over the “Disney Land” phase.
Of course, by the second week of fish for breakfast, McDonalds starts to look better and better.
If you videotape any financial transactions, be aware of the men with tatoos and missing pinkie fingers.
I was completely left alone when I was photographing Kabukicho, even using a tripod. As long as I don’t get into anyone’s face I don’t think anyone will be bothered by me in Ginza.
Also, you’re assuming money is exchanged on the street, like drug transactions in the US. If anything illegal is going on, it’s going on indoors.
I assume you have first hand knowledge of these transactions then. Is that how the mouthcam came about? Lost too many fingers?
@Matt: Nope, I discovered I could hold my phone in my mouth while I was playing pachinko. It was a true “Eureka!” moment. My dream now is to travel around the world, slobbering all over my cell phone.
Hey Rich, I think the Ginza idea is a great one, and I would love to hear the hostess bar podcast!
I only come here for the porn.What is going on with this Blog !?!
The old subjects were: Japan, Tokyo, children, life, tech. And the last tow post’s are S3x and P0rn ?!
About the “Ginza thing”, what’s that ? Are you talking about Yakuza ?
Do they really exist ? How are they like ? Do they really control everything in Japan ?
How about I do a week of nothing but temples and shrines?
Yes, the yakuza exist. I’m no expert but off the top of my head they control the music industry, food stalls, the sex industry, night clubs, dating websites, ticket scalping, some restaurants…what did I miss?
Dude/Lady, if you have any hangups about sex, you’re at the wrong URL. It exists along with everything else in the world. It’s not going away anytime soon. If you continue to have a stick up your ass about it, I will have no choice but to taunt you.
well look we’re all adults here. I love how people get so upset sometimes over words. “Sex”! OMGZ Burn the Site down!
And Rich makes a point (a funny one too, temples and shrines hehe). It would be like me doing a podcast on America, and just sticking to churches, and nice sunny days in forest parks.
@Charlie: It’s actually Rich that asked why he’s found on subjects like this. I don’t think ‘we’ complained about it or anything :).
It’s good to put sex in its place, not take it too seriously, but treat it with respect and recognize the debt we owe to it. Everything in moderation. The same goes with food, family, friends, work, electricity, water, entertainment, medicine, shelter, education, transportation, empathy, toys, technology, philosophy and everything else we need to be happy and survive. The basics are the same everywhere, only in slightly different forms and proportions. Some places we havecommon ground, others not. That’s the fun of watching cultures come together.
Well said :).
The point I was probably trying to make at 4 am was out of all the random stuff I toss out, it’s the stuff that stimulates the caveman part of the Internet’s collective brain that gets the most attention. I think that’s funny, and I’m glad that what does attract people here is stuff that I’m proud of having put out. How’s that?
It’s always like that, not just in the world of internet. Flip open a newspaper, tune in to a news channel, it’s almost always about the bad stuff that happens. That’s part of why internet got a bad name when it comes to things like internet dating, for example.
You should be proud of what you’ve done with your blog, you really should. You show us what life is in a country foreign to (most of) us, from funny to normal to absurd things, you cover it all. It’s not without reason that your podcast has so many listeners!
All I can say is keep up the good work, ignore those ‘naughty’ internet users and never stop entertaining us. At least until I’ve got my own kickass and mighty popular podcast running, of courrse… ahem.
Soooo…after all that has been said, are you going to be offering a comprehensive guide to the sex shops of Kabukicho? Just curious. : )
Keep up the good work !
Whoa, whoa, whoa! “Not”? “No”?
I’m out.
😉
