(Well, if you work at Victoria's Secret Catalogue, they're safe. If you work at the Baptist Church on the corner, they are definitely not safe!!!)

Here's the second edition of Japan's Top Sexy Actresses and Models. I am putting this up today because part one was so popular and this blog is just about to hit one million reads. That's not one million readers, mind you, but one million reads. That's not bad for a blog that is only about 18 months old. I also am anxious to get past the one million mark as this bothers me and I want to hurry up and get the "anti-climatic" ("-climatic" get it?) part over as soon as possible so here are these cheesecake photos.

It's a Sunday morning so it's time for some entertainment...


My good friend in the states who wishes to remain nameless asks that I post the names and photos of the girls who I think are the most beautiful and sexiest in Japan today... I reckon that he wants to know the exact names - in English - so he can do his own, er, "research." OK. This blog is about Japan. Japan has tons of extremely sexy women.... I also hear that 70% of Internet surfers worldwide are men. I am a man. I blog. I need readers, so here is a shameless attempt to get more readers, er, "viewers . 


(Some people ask me, "Mike, are you doing this for the money?" And I answer, "Why, yes. How did you know?")


So, without further ado. Here's the first edition of Japan's Top Sexy Actresses and Models. I guess, from looking at these cheesecake photos, I should make this a regularly scheduled blog post. Ahem...

The Most Amazing One Camera, One Shot, No Editing Music Video Ever Made!

Sometimes, even the Japanese out do themselves. Today I'd like to show you a music video by a band named Polysics. Polysics are completely influenced by DEVO. The music isn't all that great but this one particular video is awesome. This video is just one camera and no editing. The entire video consists of one girl doing what's called "Top Rock" dancing.


Watching this you'll see why I think, when Devo's popularity waned, they should have done what over-the-hill American baseball players do: Go to Japan! They'd still be hugely popular here. Since Devo didn't come here to Japan... The Japanese made their own copy... 


Now, I really loved early Devo, don't get me wrong. But, in many ways, the Japanese version (copy) is better. Here's proof. Judge for yourself.


When it comes to what is known as B-Boying or Break Dancing, the Japanese are often disparaged as having no rhythm. Quite often, even I think this too. But, then again, I guess the Japanese are no worse than Caucasians (of which, explains why I'm a real loser when it comes to music and dancing; I have zero rhythm since I am half Japanese and half Caucasian!)

Scene from "I Me Mine" - See this awesome video below!

But then again, every once in a while, I see something that the Japanese do (usually a sort of copy) that really impresses me.


Today I want to introduce a Japanese Rock band called that Polysics. No, I am not that impressed with their music at all. I was a big Devo fan in their early days and the Polysics remind me of another Japanese band from the early 1980's called the Tokyo Plastics; so the Polysics do not strike as doing anything new at all.


But they did make a series of videos (with one especially) that really impressed me to this very day. The song is called "I, Me, Mine" and the original video for it has over 1.4 million views in Japan. This is great for a Rock band that is definitely considered a band with a cult following at most.

This guy also does a wild Michael Jackson in the second video!

The girl (and guy) in the video is doing what oldsters like me might call Breakdancing, or B-boying, but I gather that it is actually a sort of Top Rock or Freeze dancing. The girl is amazing. The most amazing part is that their are no cuts or edits in this first video. Watch it. This is awesome!

Here is a different version that I wish would have featured only the guy. He's great too! From about 1:09 he starts up with the hilarious Michael Jackson stuff.

Pretty cool, eh? It just goes to show that the Japanese are excellent at conceptualism. While they might not be so great at new ideas, they are sometimes masters making old ideas so much better.... And I would say that the girl dancing is very sexy... But I guess I shouldn't say I think Japanese High School girls are sexy. I save that for Andrew at "It's a Wonderful Rife".


I think these are the best songs and video Devo  NEVER made!

Sexy Japanese Girls Like Men's White Briefs! Who Could Have Known? I Did!

All riiiiight! Japanese women get turned on by men wearing white briefs? After 50+ some years of doing so, it shows just want a trend-setting virile "sex god" I am! May I brag? I've been wearing short white men's briefs for years! (Not the same ones either!) Since my mom first bought me a pair when I stopped pooping in my pants I've been wearing briefs... I think I was in 4th or 5th grade in elementary school!


Yes! I am a sex god!!!!


I love the Tokyo Reporter. They have the funniest and wildest stories over there that are taken and translated from typical Japanese gossipy and weekly magazines. It's the kind of stuff that titillates (am I allowed to use that word?) the average Japanese husband or housewife.


I think the Tokyo Reporter gives me a perfect bird's eye view of what's really going on with the average Japanese Joe and Jane in this country.


Today's cool story is about how white brief underwear are now back in vogue!


Tokyo Reporter: "Women Going Wild Over Men's Briefs"

Several decades ago, most Japanese men wore white briefs (a.k.a. Jockey Shorts). But for various they began falling out of favor with women and their sales plummeted, to about half of what they were at the peak.

Shukan Post (Sep. 16-23), however, reports that since last summer white men’s briefs appear to have made something of a comeback....

...lovelorn advice columnist Mikako Kikuchi writes that “The times have changed.” To wit, while an overwhelming majority of females say they don’t particularly like to see men wearing white briefs, the number who now prefer them has increased.

“Women seek ‘security,’” says Kikuchi. Since the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami on March 11, they realized that a man’s income or job position didn’t count for much. Instead, they sought men who had the vitality to survive, even in the wild. And to these women, claims Kikuchi, men wearing white briefs come across as masculine hunks.

“White briefs are easy to become begrimed and spotted, so some guys who wear them are showing confidence in their ability to keep them clean. On the other hand if the guy isn’t concerned about them showing stains, it heightens his masculinity, as a wild, uncivilized type.

“When I meet up with guys in white briefs, I really get turned on!” Kikuchi confesses. 

Read the rest at Tokyo Reporter!

Isn't this great news guys? She writes: “White briefs are easy to become begrimed and spotted, so some guys who wear them are showing confidence in their ability to keep them clean." She's right! We do how to keep them clean! (Hint: when dirty after a few days, just turn them inside out!) And I do absolutely agree  that wearing white briefs shows confidence... Or, at least, it shows you don't give a sh*t about your underwear. 

I certainly don't.

Wow! Women get turned on when seeing guys in white briefs?! Women seek security? Yes! I am vindicated! 

Take that Susan Peck!!!!

Oh? "Who is Susan Peck, you ask?" She is the girl who gave me my BTSD (Brief Traumatic Stress Disorder)... Susan was an awesomely hot and sexy Japanese smokin' babe! (Well, she was half-Japanese!) She was my girlfriend for a short while when I was 19 or 20 or so... I've never forgotten, nor forgiven, her for how she ruined my life because she didn't like my underwear... 

It was 1979, I was the lead singer of a punk band (there were few of those in Los Angeles at that time). It was a great time for me and my gift to punk rock! 

In Santa Barbara for a gig in 1979

It was also the time when all the guys started wearing boxer shorts. Not me. I hated boxer shorts as they would bunch up in my butt crack and make me quite uncomfortable. Being a guy brought up as a cog in a consumer society, I wasn't into discomfort.

I liked the briefs mom bought for me at K-Mart. 

At that time, for a very short while, Susan was my girlfriend. Susan was a very beautiful girl and the former class queen at her high school. I was in lust with her (all the other guys were too! She was hot!) I would take her to my band's concerts and then I would try to get her to make out with me in my car.

I liked her because she was so pretty. I think she liked me because I was the singer for a so-so famous punk band (those being trendy and all at that time).

Artist's rendition of Susan

Since Susan was so babelicious, she had a lot of boyfriends who were lots older and more experienced than me, I'm sure, and since they had more experience and brains they took her to nice places like expensive restaurants, fashionable clubs and five-star hotels, etc. 

Since I was stoopid and a cheap skate, I took her to local concerts, cheap assed cinemas and preferred the back seat of my car for sex (cheaper, more exciting and quite "Randy" in the backseat of a car!)

Anyway, one of the few times we did stay in a hotel, I took off my jeans and there she saw that I was wearing white briefs and not boxers. She didn't like that. I think it turned her off totally. She asked why I didn't wear boxers. I told her that I didn't like them at all. I also was very conceited, had massive confidence about myself, and couldn't give a sh*t about underwear anyway... 

How could I have known girls like men's underwear so much? I thought it was just the guys who had underwear fetishisms!

I got irritated at her and growled, "What!? Are you dating me or are you dating my underwear?!" 

Susan 

..and I... 

...didn't...

......date....

...for long....

...after...

that.

Anyhow, girls getting turned on by white briefs is great news , eh guys? It shows that we do not need to wear sexy boxers that bunch up our butt cracks and make us uncomfortable and it saves us from having to shop!

How does this news save us from having to shop? Well, if you are like me then you've probably never bought underwear in your life.

When I was a kid, mom always bought it. Then, when you get a bit older, grandma buys them for you... (Thanks grandma for ruining my future marriage to Susan!!!) 

Then after getting married, your wife always buys it for you. (Hint: Guys! Never, but never allow your secretary to buy your underwear!)

The only people now who ever get see my underwear are my wife and kids (and grandma). No outsiders ever get that privilege... Oh, excepting my doctor and my acupuncturist and they are men... 

Hopefully, those two guys don't get turned on by my underwear...
