Japanese cosplay contrast

Due to its very nature, cosplay is an easy target, and firing off a few cheap shots is even easier when the outfits opted for aren’t exactly flattering. However, slightly forced cynicism aside, there’s no denying that done properly, the results can be far more fetching than foolish.

That said, apart from people with a penchant for Japanese pensioners posing for pictures that probably won’t make their progeny proud, fetching isn’t exactly the first thing that springs to mind as far as this set of snaps goes. Far from it in fact.

For those not exactly appalled by the pictures, a quick click will produce not only a poster-sized pic, but also a peek at the perpetrator’s panties.

The positively perplexed on the other hand should probably opt for a large drink or a lie down.

Possibly even both.

Japanese breast size simulator

The Japanese fascination with blood type and its apparent correlation to a person’s character, means that a man may (or indeed may not) be able to gauge a prospective partner’s personality before he takes the plunge. However, for the fella more interested in simply finding out what’s under his selected siren’s sweater, the super scientific Oppai (breast) Maker is the perfect one-stop shop.

By simply typing in a Japanese girl’s name, the site’s mindboggingly complicated software will produce an accurate manga-esque image of the young lady’s mammaries. And, just to prove how reliable the programme is, this is how it interpreted Mizuki (美月) — a click will reveal the uncensored simulation.

Which, considering I was thinking of bikini idol Mizuki Horii, is unnervingly accurate I’m sure you’ll agree.

Unfortunately, the software’s similarly unsettling picture of my positively pendulous man-boobs suggests the site still has a few teething problems,

or alternatively my diet needs to go in a very different direction to deter any further developments.

Gritty Tokyo graffiti?

It could be because the majority of residents rigourously abide by the rules, or perhaps finding a public place without any people is practically impossible, but either way, graffiti in Tokyo doesn’t seem to be as widespread as it is in other parts of the world.

Of course that’s not to say that there isn’t any to be seen, although somewhat disappointingly, in a land famed for its meticulously drawn manga, a lot of the stuff that is on display isn’t exactly inventive.

And, despite certain declarations, is decidedly deficient of drama.

Not that such details have deterred the odd serious, and somehow celebrated, street artist.

However, given a bit of time and space, a few of the less famous do make a real effort,

and their resultant masterpieces may well have some merit.

Plus, rather surprisingly, there is possibly even protest,

along with the odd positive, but ultimately impossible, plea.

Japanese jug jugs

Japanese novelty bra giant Triumph International has once again made the headlines with, not surprisingly, another novelty bra. The lingerie maker’s latest offering going by the far from catchy description of a Photovoltaic-Powered Bra.

An item that, apart from appearing to be made from artificial turf, is what the company claims to be “earth and human friendly”, as it is equipped with pads to hold drinks in a bid to reduce the use of cans and plastic bottles.

However, perhaps more interestingly, it also comes with a solar panel that powers a small electronic board capable of displaying messages. Allowing the option of something suitably suggestive such as “suck on this” perhaps? Or, more than likely, the far more foreseeable, “keep off the grass”.
