Photographs from a small group of islands
With memories of summer fun fading fast, and the New Year break not exactly near, stressed out Japanese salary men seeking a bit of sun will simply have to soldier on; however, for those after a brief rest-bite and a few beach-themed babes, this bikini bar may not be a bad bet.
A place where sweet rather than sweaty times are supposedly the order of the day.
Although the latter may well be possible if it’s paid for.
The contrived cosplay-themed compliance of Japan’s forever multiplying number of maid cafes means that they are something of an acquired taste to say the least. But on a cool and damp autumnal day, the warm glow of this maid-related getaway does look rather inviting.
However, with a price list based on time and not tea, it’s fair to say that soapy sojourns rather than sugary snacks are very much the order of the day.
Hence the age requirements.
And, for reasons unknown, race restrictions.
Japan being Japan, men hold the vast majority of the country’s top spots, and as far as pay goes, they generally pocket far more than their female counterparts. An imbalance that isn’t just restricted to work related matters either, as there is also a distinct disparity in regard to leisure activities; including the perhaps not so important but still pertinent issue of plastic partners.
Not surprisingly, men have a whole gamut of goodies on offer, with various shapes and services to choose from. Plus there’s even a magazine to help put that extra bit of sizzle into silicone.
However thankfully things are gradually beginning to change, and as Japan slowly shuffles towards equality, its ladies are at last lucky enough to have been granted the services of a rubber rendezvous. The only difference being that whereas men appear to opt for fantasy figures with overly ample appendages, women seem happier with more realistic replicas.
So much so in fact, that supposedly just like the real thing, the silicone salary man has to be woken from his slumber due to his standard 14-hour workday and a few forced beers with the boss before any sort of shenanigans can take place.
The simple removal of his optional purple pants quite possibly enough to do the trick.
Although as far as fun goes, the only problem may well be his, ahem, size.
Japan isn’t always an easy market for foreign firms to force their way into, yet multinational Nestle has never looked back with its Kit Kat biscuit brand. ‘Special edition’ flavours keep the formula fresh, and the snack’s adoption as a good luck charm for students has all but cemented its place in Japanese society.
That said, how happy the company must be about the comedy contraceptives below is debatable to say the least, although they do at least add a spot of semi-saucy suggestion to the now somewhat stale slogan of ‘Have a break, have a Kit Kat’.
The kewpie mayonnaise inspired condoms on the left however, have, at least as far as the condiments creamy contents go, decidedly different connotations altogether.
Just as the likes of Sony and Samsung can’t afford to standstill for fear of being caught by the field, Japanese plastic partner pioneer Orient Industry is equally keen on keeping ahead of the competition.The only difference being that Orient happens to have silicone rather than silicon inside its products that’s all.
And with the Tokyo based company’s dolls now being rented out to customers and used as hotel ‘extras’, not to mention those bought by individuals, a few fresh faces will no doubt help boost sales and increase the number of visitors to its showroom.
Meaning that those willing to make the journey will be able to feast their eyes on four new additions to the Candy Girl family. For starters there’s the decidedly melancholy looking Miku.
And a similarly miserable Meg.
Then there’s the rather thoughtful and ringlet sporting Rei.
With the last one being Kira, who looks like a kid. And not a very old one at that.
Yet despite some technological and texture related revisions, the price of a doll hasn’t changed at all. Although at an average of 600,000 yen (4,900 dollars) each, it’s perhaps just as well.
A link to Orient Industry’s homepage can be found here, although it has to be said that venturing anywhere beyond the main page is definitely not safe for work. In fact, getting caught perusing some of the pages could result in some awkward conversations with concerned (and possibly disturbed) colleagues.
