We Compare Senran Kagura’s Virtual Breasts with Real Ones… You Know, for Science and Stuff

The PS Vita edition of breast simulator game Senran Kagura has become an instant hit, selling out in stores everywhere immediately after hitting store shelves.

However, the question stands: With these virtual boobs in the hands of so many, how can we be sure they’re getting an authentic experience?

The RocketNews24 Institute of Cybermamography–headed by the one and only Mr. Sato–has conducted extensive research on the matter and herein submits our paper for peer evaluation.

Five Cute Things Girls Do in Winter: Japan’s Men Share their Favourites

Five Cute Things Girls Do in Winter: Japan’s Men Share their Favourites

For many of us in the northern hemisphere, winter is finally showing signs of packing up and leaving us alone for a while. People are starting to use their heaters less or, wear fewer layers and, if you live in a paper-thin, central heating-less house in Japan like I do, risk not putting on a woolly hat when going to bed at night.

But winter in Japan isn’t all bad! There are beautiful snow festivals and alternative snow cones to be enjoyed! And, according to a report over on Japan’s R25 news site, even wrapped up in all that winter weather gear, the nation’s ladies still manage to look so very, very cute.

Thighs, Butts, Backs and Necks: Is Your Calendar this Sexy? 【Photos】

Thighs, Butts, Backs and Necks: Is Your Calendar this Sexy? 【Photos】

We’re already well into February, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to throw away your Hello Kitty calendar and replace it with something a little more risqué.

Nudey calendars have existed for generations, but the Nyotai Goyomi (lit. “woman’s body calendar”) is composed entirely of close-up shots of various parts of the female form, each with the day and date hand-written onto that particular section of flesh in Japanese. Not a single face is featured throughout the 365 pages of the calendar, but there’s plenty here to keep admirers of the female form interested, with plenty of thighs, necks, shoulders and backs to be gazed at while pretending to be unsure what day it is.

Buy a Wii U and be a Hit with the Ladies! (But They Might Ignore You all Night)

Buy a Wii U and be a Hit with the Ladies! (But They Might Ignore You all Night)

Six years ago, a man inviting a group of girls to come and play with his Wii would probably have resulted in face slapping and a visit from the police, but here in 2012 everyone and their dog knows what a Wii is. And now, with the launch of the new Wii U, the next generation of remote-wielding gaming featuring a touchscreen-equipped controller, nerdy men the world over have a new toy to lure girls into their homes with.

The console supports up to four Wii remotes, plus the new touchscreen contoller, meaning that it’s one of the most group-oriented games consoles ever made, and just begs to be played by whole families or groups of friends.

But since RocketNews24 Japan‘s closest Wii U-owning pal (who we shall refer only as WiiMan to protect his nerdy identity) is a self-confessed part-time hemit and only ever gets to see the single-player modes of his games, he called his friend Kaori and invited her over for some multiplayer fun.

“A Wii U!?” Kaori said excitedly, “Definitely! I’ll bring my band friends with me! Don’t worry, they’re all cute.”

From home alone to a night of videogames with five cute girls in 90 seconds. WiiMan couldn’t believe his luck!

We Have a Winner!!! Sony’s “Extra Bass” Headphone Girls Ranked and Rated

We Have a Winner!!! Sony’s “Extra Bass” Headphone Girls Ranked and Rated

Sony Japan’s promotional dancing headphone girls – or Headphone Joshi as they’re known in Japan – have been with us for over a week now, whirling around and wowing us with both their dance moves and über cuteness.

As part of a promotion for its new line of “extra bass” headphones, Sony put together a YouTube page of its own featuring one girl from each of the 47 prefectures in Japan dancing before a camera to Avril Lavigne (why?) while listening to music through the new headphones. We can’t say that the videos made us want to buy Sony’s new tech any more than the next brand, but it certainly made us appreciate just how cute girls in headphones are.

We’ve long been fans of girls in glasses, Chinese dresses, mini skirts and school uniforms, so deciding which of the girls in Sony’s promotional videos was the true queen of cute, style and rhythm was no easy task. But, being the dedicated troopers that we are, we took a break from debating which of Beethoven’s symphonies best accompanies a glass of Beaujolais nouveau and sat down with a notepad and pen to watch those girls dance.

A couple of hours and many, many replays later, the RocketNews24 team had finally reached a consensus…

【Chauvinism Friday】 New Akihabara Kitchen Offers Customers the Chance to Learn to Cook! With Girls!!

【Chauvinism Friday】 New Akihabara Kitchen Offers Customers the Chance to Learn to Cook! With Girls!!

Akihabara; world-famous home to everything otaku! Cosplay, electronics, comic-books, videogames, maid cafés, pop idol pubs, trading card stores; Akihabara- or Akiba to the locals- is where it’s at.

For years, swarms of young men with poor social skills (and cool folks like you and me, too…) have been heading into Akihabara to buy figure models of girls in bikinis with disproportionately large breasts, locate hardware for their new gaming PC, or spend an hour in the company of cute girls dressed as maids who giggle as they put “love spells” on guests’ food before sending them home more frustrated than ever.

As reported by Hamster Sokuhou earlier today, a fun new establishment has recently thrown its doors open to Akihabara’s masses, inviting them to come and cook with their cast of female chefs, each ready to guide the hands of young men who, until now, were perhaps too shy to touch a woman’s measuring jugs for real.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Prepare yourselves for the next level in awkward interaction with females in exchange for cash!

【TGS 2012】“The Many Ears of Tokyo Game Show” or “Now Everyone Thinks I have an Ear Fetish”

【TGS 2012】“The Many Ears of Tokyo Game Show” or “Now Everyone Thinks I have an Ear Fetish”

Within the first 30 minutes of wandering around Makuhari Messe, the enormous event hall that hosts the Tokyo Game Show and many others, one thing became clear: there are a lot of models wearing fluffy fake ears this year.

Cat, pixie, rabbit, devil- you name it, they’re on a scantily-clad woman’s head. Anime and manga fans will no doubt shrug this off as perfectly normal for an event of this kind, but of all my Tokyo Game Show visits, this year is by far the most ear-filled… (lots more pics after the jump) Read More

Too Cute For Jail? Super Hot Mugshots

You think mugshot, you probably think of some haggard, seedy character looking back at you. It just goes to show, even cute girls end up in jail sometimes. Below are an assortment pretty faces and some not-so-tasteful comments from the peanut gallery in Japan.

And just because we know you’re wondering, apparently none of them were arrested for prostitution. Those gems are saved for the end.
