sleepy john - news, pictures and videos for the jpop, kpop, gravure, racing queen, grid girl and av idol fan!

Well, it was inevitable that it would happen.  John is now officially MIA.  He goes off to Japan on a moment’s notice, calls me just to get a ride to the airport,… promises me he’ll bring back something for me from the land of milk and honey,…

And then disappears off the face of the earth.

Lucky bastard.  He’s probably neck deep in silky smooth creamy Japanese girls,…. Or face down next to some bench in Shinjuku from too much sex/sake.

Whatever the case,… he’ll be back soon folks.  Until then, you’ll just have to put up with the lovely images of girls that I find as well as the videos here and there.  I am currently looking at other Korean video sites (sorry, John’s the one that speaks Japanese so I can’t help you if that’s what you’re looking for) but they’re a bit trickier to embed.

Also,… for those of you who do NOT see our little poll there on the right, please do comment and let me know what you’d like to see more of.  Videos, pictures, porn, straight nude,… etc.

Until next time,… hopefully with John sober and somewhat sound!

You can see sexy and hot Japanese girls doing all kinds of lurid deeds 24/7 on Paradise TV!

Take it from me, Japan is truly a paradise on earth for men. The country is filled with all kinds of yummy fun stuff that titillate your senses. They can pop up anytime, anywhere…from seemingly innocent content of prime time TV shows, to late night naughty variety shows, to all those juicy “campaign girls” promoting various products or events and the ubiquitous high school girls in their super hot & ready to rock short miniskirt school uniform.

So knowing that the Japanese people are generally filled with sensory overload how do you top all this? The creative folks at Japanese cable channel Paradise TV has just the answer. Paradise TV is a channel that focuses on adult content and often airs sexy original shows that often border on insanity! Every summer they hold a 24 hour “Sex Shall Save the Earth” charity marathon with live broadcast and viewer participation to raise money to fight AIDS and this past summer was no exception.

The faces of 2007 Paradise TV charity marathon…Ami Natsui (L), Erina Kurosawa (C) and Nana Otone (R)

Erina Kurosawa (黒沢英里奈) as the MC

Ami Natsui ( 夏井亜美) as the announcer

Nana Otone ( 乙音奈々) as the event special guest

Famous Japanese manga artist Go Nagai (永井 豪) designed the charity marathon shirt in 2006, Mikio Yanagisawa (柳沢きみお), another well known Japanese manga artist penned last year’s.

Go Nagai shows off his design with Paradise TV announcer Ami Natsui…lucky bastard!

Here are some highlights from Paradise TV’s erotic festivities:

- Hand job shrine (3 min. limit, from $30)

Have a 巫女 (shrine maiden) show you what a proper hand party ought to be. Paradise TV is confident about their girls…they’re claiming a 80% “success rate” and are aiming for 100 shots on goal.

- Titty Queen pageant (winner gets to represent at the Titty Grab booth)

She’s got some nice huge tits but those knockers wouldn’t be the only things I’d explore with my hands

- Coast to coast phone sex battle (the objective is to “do it” on the phone and via webcam with viewers from every prefecture in Japan)

I’m sure I’d blow my load pretty quickly looking at this face

The girls were able to conquer the entire country with their excellent phone skills…Karin Ohnuki 大貫かりん (L) & Matsuri Hanagiri 花桐まつり (R)

Karin’s spankable ass

Matsuri Hanagiri’s lovely ass

- House call sensual aesthetics for women (from $100)

- Titty grab (5 squeezes, nipple pinching is ok too, from $10)

- Ball massage (open to female viewers, from $100)

- Bath time with Paradise TV announcer (auction)

The winning bidder gets to take a dip in the tube with cutie Yotsuha Wakakusa (若草よつは)

- Golden spring beer garden (you can use your imagination on what is the beverage, from $3)

They even have an “all you can drink” course…to each his own I guess.=P

There you have it, 24 hours of full on debauchery and scandalous fun like that. If you don’t consider that entertaining you need to go to the nearest high rise rooftop or cliff and jump off!

Naked mahjong anyone?

It makes me wonder what this summer’s marathon will bring us…

Perfume has been leading the way for “picopop”, a type of Japanese techno

The latest album from the all girl Japanese techno / pop group Perfume soared to the top on Japan’s Oricon Chart this week. “Game” is the second album released by the trio who hail from Hiroshima and is the first techno album to attain the No.1 position in nearly 25 years!

Kashiyuka (かしゆか), A~chan (あ～ちゃん) and Nocchi (のっち) started performing in their hometown when they were only 12 years old. They were picked up by famous Japanese musician / producer Yasutaka Nakata (中田ヤスタカ) and their music can be categorized as “picopop”.

Reacting to the revelation that their album has gone to the top of Oricon Chart, the talented and cute girls exclaimed, “This is great! Finally all of our hard work paid off. We’re really glad to have people who have supported, helped and told us not to give up since the beginning. There was a time we were happy just to make it to the top 100. Thank you all so much!”

Perfume’s “Game” beat out other popular Japanese artists such as rock band HY from Okinawa, folk duo Yuzu (whose lead singer Yuji Kitagawa is dating the crown jewel of Fuji TV announcer Aya Takashima - see my blog on 3/22), singstress YUI and R&B group Exile.

Ahh, those wacky Japanese famous for pulling off some of the most outrageous things have once again outdone themselves. The fellas from the small fishing town of Susami-cho (すさみ町) in Wakayama Prefecture that faces the Pacific Ocean in western Japan (just south of Osaka) probably smoked a little something-something before they went out and set up a mail box in…under the sea!

The odd location of the mail box also ensured the people of Susami a Guinness Book of World Record for the deepest spot on earth for a mail box. The functional (believe it or not…my Japanese pals just crack me up!) unit is located about 100 meters from the harbor and 14 meters under the water. The tall old school mail box painted in firetruck red weighs about 80 kilograms and was first put in place back in 1999. Local scuba diving shop Noa Susami handles the mail pick up.

According to the shop manage Kazuyuki Suzuki the mail box has received over 30,000 pieces of mail! You’ve gotta admit Japanese people got a sense of humor. And oh yeah, the town is also famous for bonito tuna and yellowtail amberjack.

Some of you Japanese porno aka JAV fans probably have been wondering why there is always that annoying censored “mosaic” blur that covers up the juiciest part of the action. Just like you I wish that cock blocking censor would take off like a high school prom dress! But there’s a reason for that and we actually need to be thankful the blur was put in place…otherwise none of us would be able to enjoy any of the hot action from all these lecherous Japanese girls we’ve come to lust after so much!

Call it strange, nonsensical or whatever you like, but the Japanese law stipulates that no reproductive genital or actual act of coitus can be shown in media form. That’s just the way it is, has always been and most likely will be for quite some time. Fortunately Japanese laws also allow for many loopholes. For instance, anus aka “the other vagina” is fair game and can be shown in plain sight and sexual intercourse of different kinds is tolerated as long as effort is made to “cover up”. This led to the existence of those infamous veils of necessary evil we know as “mozaiku” (モザイク)!

But who’s going to set standards and manage the plethora of flesh yumminess DVD the Japanese porn industry pumps out every month? Obviously the Japanese government can’t create a new ministry just to police these stick flicks…that would become a laughingstock of other nations. (But you can be sure I’d be the first one to apply if the Japanese government ever changes its mind!) This is where Biderin ( ビデ倫) comes in. Short for “Nihon Bideo Rinri Kyokai” or Nihon Ethics of Video Association (as in NEVA…now you know what that stands for when you see it in the beginning of every JAV DVD you’ve popped in), it is a self governing body composed of representatives from within the industry to monitor themselves and make sure every single frame that’s got sexual organ receives proper covering via mosaic censor.

An example of the yummy world famous JAV we can’t live without

The Japanese porn producers have been rather kind to lovers of Japanese AV actresses as of late. Within the last 2 years there’s been a trend to employ thinly veiled “digital mosaic” when applying the censor. The mosaic is so fine that even though the blur exists on screen, it pretty much leaves not much to the imagination (hurray!). At times it seems like the “mosaic technician” and Biderin screeners might have gotten a bit too generous if you know what I mean.

Unfortunately someone, somewhere couldn’t let things be and clearly isn’t too happy about the introduction of digital mosaic (personally I think he ought to just walk into any one of Japan’s fine ejaculation specialty shops and get his nuts emptied by a young and willing babyfaced 18 year old hottie…problem solved!). This all led to the office of Biderin being raided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police last summer and the subsequent arrest of 5 Biderin big cheese earlier last month.

Japanese porn producer h.m.p debuts 3 new girls at once…hawt!

The head of Biderin’s Inspection Division, as well as the president of Tokyo based Japanese AV production company h.m.p were among the arrested. The police claimed that the digital mosaic Biderin passed for inspection still allowed the viewers to “confirm that intercourse took place”…the sound of this is ridiculous I can’t help but laugh!

Well, our friends in Japan might have almost everything, but they can’t have it all.

Do you think the digital mosaic is too revealing?

Ai Takahashi (R), Reina Tanaka (C) and JunJun (L) of Morning Musume pose for their fans at Taoyuan International Airport

Three members of the Japanese idol group Morning Musume arrived in Taiwan’s capitol Taipei this past Wednesday to promote their upcoming and first ever concert in Taiwan. Morning Musume leader Ai Takahashi, along with cutie pie Reina Tanaka and JunJun (who’s actually from China) were greeted by about 100 fans at the airport. Later on during the press conference at the hotel the girls were given Taiwanese sweets such as pineapple cake and tapioca milk tea which they loved.

ZARD’s latest single 翼を広げて (Tsubasa wo Hirogete) will be featured in a Detective Conan movie

A previously unreleased song by Izumi Sakai, lead vocal of the Japanese rock band ZARD will be the theme song for the latest Detective Conan anime movie, “Meitantei Konan Senritsu no Gakufu” (Detective Conan, Score of Horror). Izumi Sakai was the voice and face of the somewhat mysterious unit that was extremely popular in the 90s. She passed away last May under cloudy circumstances while battling cervical cancer.

The song “Tsubasa wo Hirogete” (Spread Your Wings) was written by famous Japanese musician Tetsuro Oda and its lyrics penned by Miss Izumi Sakai herself. The animated movie will hit theaters across Japan this Saturday.

Mikitty was all smile at Tokyo FM’s Spain Zaka Studio

The lovely former Morning Musume leader Miki Fujimoto made an appearance on Monday on the Tokyo FM radio show “Wonderful World” in Shibuya to promote her upcoming single “Oki Tegami” (置き手紙). This is her first release since scandal broke out last summer that led to her stepping down from the popular Japanese idol group (please see blog from 2/15 & 1/9) and also her first solo single in 5 years.

Oki Tegami (Letter Left Behind) will be Miki Fujimoto’s comback single

Mikitty (as she is affectionately called) said she worked hard on this piece because the folk song style which “Oki Tegami” is based on is something she’s previously not familiar with. But she’s not nervous and is enjoying her solo activity. While on the subject of her b-side track “Far Away Lover” (遠い恋人) the radio show host playfully teased by asking, “Is your lover close by?” Slightly embarrassed Mikitty replied, “Yes, he’s close.”

Oki Tegami will hit the shelf next Wednesday alongside with a different version from veteran Japanese singer Takao Horiuchi.

Aki Hoshino was crowned “Orange Day Princess”. Previous recipients include Misako Yasuda.

Busty Japanese gravure idol and talent Aki Hoshino was in Tokyo yesterday to promote the “Orange Day” event put on by Sunkist. During the interview the babyfaced sexy model said even though she’s had good relationships before, she hasn’t been able to find any eligible bachelors recently. She added that these days people around her are getting married, so she’s starting to feel anxious.

In the end the 31 year old F-cup cutie proclaimed, “I shall get married before 40, I haven’t turned rotten at all!” while possibly taking a jab at Kumi Koda’s “women’s womb turn rotten after 35″ comment earlier this year.

I hope Aki’s fabulous tits will never go rotten!

Just like I expected all along, the princess of Japan’s dirty pop Kumi Koda kicked off her national concert tour yesterday pretty much as originally planned at Ekoba Arena in Fukuroi, Shizuoka Prefecture (about 2.5 hr southwest of Tokyo). It has been about two and a half months since her off the cuff “rotten womb” radio show comment that landed her in hot water which ended in cancellation of all work related activities and self exile.

Before the show Kumi once again apologized and bowed to the fans. She then exclaimed, “I will give my best!”

According to reports, since the scandal blew up in the beginning of this past February Kumi had been hiding in hotels. And recently Japanese tabloid FLASH sighted the j-pop diva resurfacing, sporting huge sunglasses with her trademark brightly colored hair surrounded by several AVEX staff members while being discreetly shuttled around.

The 25 year old Miss Kumi Koda had reportedly wanted to delay the start of her national tour. But due to several complications decided to stick to the original schedule. The concert tour covers 8 locations and consists of 16 shows in total. The ones in the beginning such as Shizuoka, Kobe and Fukuoka have been completely sold out a long time ago before the rotten womb scandal took place and tickets for her performance in Tokyo which went on sale on the 15th of last month were also gone in an instant.

Although her advertising activities with major companies like Kirin, P&G Japan and Japanese cosmetic Kose are still on halt, I’m sure everything will be back to normal by early summer and you’ll start to see Kumi pimping all kinds of products everywhere you go again.

Things are looking good for Kumi Koda. Her latest DVD “Kumi Koda Live Tour 2007 ~Black Cherry~ Special Final in Tokyo Dome” that was released on the 31st of last month shot up to the No. 1 position for music DVD. As a matter of fact, this is the 4th consecutive number one ranking she’s received for her DVD, beginning with “secret ~First Class Limited Live~” in September of 2005.

Kumi is on track to surpass Hikaru Utada’s sales record of 6 consecutive No. 1 DVD 

This really shows you in Japan it doesn’t matter what kind of trouble you get yourself into,  a tearful apology followed by a short hiatus goes a long way!

Alright fellas, here’s the final installment of OhmyNews / Ura Channel’s exclusive interview (<– original video here) with mega popular former Morning Musume and Hello!Project artist Ai Kago aka Aibon. And thanks for your encouraging comments…it’s good to know that the effort I put in is worth while!:)

“Morning Musume aren’t idols”

Aibon started off the final portion of her interview with famous Japanese showbiz reporter Masaru Nashimoto by saying the super popular Japanese girl unit “Morning Musume” wasn’t meant to be an idol group, but was viewed as such. Instead she considers Morning Musume to be a female singing group. Back then she was given the kiddish “Kago-chan” role so she had to play along. But now she’s starting anew and would like to be considered other than an idol.

Masaru proceeded to ask her if she still smokes now that she’s turned 20 and is legally allowed to smoke in Japan. Aibon replied, “Actually I’ve already quit before this. But even though now I can smoke freely I no longer feel like smoking. And nowadays I also feel it’s not so good manner wise to smoke.”

Aibon gave an interesting analogy to the situation. She said, “It’s like when you’re a small child you’re not allowed to go on some of those bigger rollercoaster rides and you really want to ride them. But once you’ve grown and passed that height requirement you don’t really feel like getting on them anymore.”

When the veteran interviewer Masaru Nashimoto mentioned that the reason he doesn’t smoke (honestly I was shocked, I imagine Masaru to be the typical chain smoking, yakitori eating, shochu drinking Japanese old geezer…guess I was wrong) is because when he visited a shrine while on a school trip in high school some people next to him were smoking and it made him feel ill, Aibon told him she felt the same way. She explained that by smoking and being around smoke it made her voice coarse, and added that it’s not okay for underage kids to smoke, even if they don’t get caught. Haha it sure sounded like Aibon was doing an anti-smoking campaign!

Toward the end Masaru quipped that he is more than 40 years Aibon’s senior (he’s 63). Aibon expressed genuine surprise and said she didn’t think he’s that old. When he told her he was born in 1944 Aibon said, “Oh that’s the same year my grandma was born!” which drew a bunch of laughter. Country side people sure have kids young!

Best of luck to the older and wiser Miss Ai Kago…please don’t cut yourself anymore

Today’s portion was rather short and here’s what the former idol and Hello!Project artist Ai Kago shared in the interview with Ura Channel and OhmyNews:

Click here for original video

Veteran Japanese entertainment reporter Masaru Nashimoto asked about her plans for the future. she replied that she doesn’t know exactly what’ll happen but because she has experienced a lot by being in Japanese showbiz since she was 12 years old (which she’s quite proud of), she feels that with her ability to convey different emotions she’d like to give acting a try.

Aibon has been doing some writing on a daily basis. Someday she hopes to get a book published and would be happy if in some way her book can be of help to someone.

She also revealed that she has kept in touch with some Morning Musume and Hello!Project members and they provided her with encouragement. She was touched when some of them asked her, “Hey Aibon how are you doing?” since only her ex fellow members call her by that nickname (calm down you fanboys…I’m sure she meant in her “real” life). To Aibon the Hello!Project girls are her source of inner peace.

When she received text messages from them she felt she wanted to rejoin the group. But she knew it wasn’t possible, so she decided to work hard on her own.

When Masaru brought up Aibon’s former partner in crime Nozomi Tsuji, she responded that she was really surprised to hear about her sudden pregnancy and marriage and she’s seen Taiyo Sugiura’s (Nozomi’s hubby) blog before. But from the sound of her voice I suspect Nozomi isn’t one of the people she is in constant contact with. She was also surprised to hear about the “Mikitty incident” (please check out my blog on 1/9 and 2/15) but believes Miss Miki Fujimoto will make a strong comeback since that is in line with Miki’s personality.

Finally the conversation moved onto Maki Goto, who’s currently on a secret mission in LA. Aibon said she was in touch with her until right before she departed for the States. She explained that she has always liked Maki and feels they share many similarities. She thinks Maki is a strong person so she will surely succeed, and hence she must strive for success herself too.

Both Aibon and GoMaki choose LA as their preferred destination to get away

Aibon was pleasantly surprised when she was presented with a scrapbook made by her fans for her recent 20th birthday

I wonder how many people are actually reading the stuff I’ve been putting up about this Aibon exclusive interview with OhmyNews. Is it even remotely interesting to you guys? I know I’m totally late on today’s episode…hope I didn’t make too many of you Aibon wotas antsy!:)

But I do wonder if it’s worth it for me to keep going.

Anyway here comes what’s juicy from Part 4 of Masaru Nashimoto’s interview with former Hello!Project super idol Ai Kago:

Original video here

When asked about the nature of her relationship with the seemingly sleazy restaurant entrepreneur Yasuyuki Ishimoto, Aibon replied, “I’m very close to him. He’s been helping me out so much. I’d like him to continue to look out for me and be the one I can talk about my problems with. He is like my one man supporter club!”

She added that she hasn’t given much thought about their future (meaning marriage), since she’s the type of person who tends to focus on the present.

The 4th generation Morning Musume said that some of the things she’s learned this past year include being thankful and learning to have confidence to tackle something. She felt that coming from an idol background she was used to being sheltered and lacked the ability to realize something. But now she wants to challenge different things to see herself grow. In other words, just do it! Aibon concluded that the best way to become stronger is to just believe in herself.

Aibon also touched on some of the problems she encountered since joining showbiz (this alone sheds a lot of light on why she did what she did). She explained that when she first joined the popular j-pop all girl group Morning Musume people often commented that she looked older than her age. As years went by it should’ve been natural for Aibon to “grow up”, but instead she became more childish. And it didn’t help that her work surroundings reinforced such image. Even though she was getting older, the majority of her fan’s demographic remained young so she was required to put on the “Kago-chan” act. The grown ups around her all asked that she maintain such kiddish image for the viewers.

As Aibon was constantly pressured to play up that “Kago-chan” act, her work related stress most likely began to accumulate. Now looking back Aibon thinks she didn’t realize at the time that wasn’t the proper way to carry on. And here’s something heavy…she said if she had continued doing what she did, she would’ve turned out really jacked!

“Kago-chan” couldn’t handle constantly having to be a kid in front of the camera, so she acted like a juvenile

To all the fans who have followed and supported her, knowing that she betrayed them twice Aibon once again expressed deep remorse.

The 20 year old Miss Ai Kago revealed that her mother understands her the most and she appreciates her a lot. When Aibon first got sent back to Nara for “home detention” in 2006 then when she was let go by her management Up Front Agency last year, her mother was the most furious at her but also gave her the most encouragement.

By the way Aibon commented that she hadn’t told her mother about this exclusive interview she’s doing and she would probably be surprised when she hears about it.

Stay tuned…I might just bust out Part 5 later today!

(Edit: Okay I’m throwing up this clip let’s see how long it lasts)
