Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.

Somehow — and I have no idea how — Sashihara Rino beat out Oshima Yuko for the center position in AKB48 during their 5th General Senbatsu Election. After the departure of Maeda Atsuko, most figured Yuko was a lock, and I don’t think anybody saw Sasshi coming, especially given her somewhat recent history. Here’s the top 25: 01 Sashihara Rino ...

JAV star Yuma Asami recently announced she has ovarian cancer. Her exact prognosis is not clear, but it was advanced enough that they had to remove her uterus and ovaries.

Beni will be releasing her third original single following 2 years of releasing boring ass covers of other people’s songs: “Our sky”.

But music outlets have ... Read More »

Japan’s most miserable pop star Amuro Namie will release her 10th studio album Feel on July 10th. Of course, she will do fuck all to promote this album, but that will be because she’s too busy running a record label. Yes, you read correctly. Namie is now the manager of her very own label, called Dimension Point, and her new ... Read More »

Basically everything about this Jang Geun Suk “Nature Boy” music video is awkward and terrible. Yes, he’s wearing native headdress, clothing, and face paint, which just makes me stare at it with a “really?” blank look, but whatever, he probably has no fucking idea what he’s doing. Besides, the most offensive part about this is the assault on my eyes ... Read More »

AKB48‘s Kashiwagi Yuki ate tororo, which looks like jizz (allegedly), and people are pissed. Here’s the video: 1) This is not sexually appealing, it’s creepy. “Ave Maria“? What? This is like the intro to a 2013 version of “Audition“. 2) That’s not what jizz looks like, unless your balls produce corn starch. If that’s what your jizz looks like, seek ... Read More »

Generally speaking, I think MBC‘s “We Got Married” is lame, primarily because fans tend to treat it as if it’s an honest to god married couple. The delusion involved is just … off-putting, but combining entertainment and attractive people can change my mind on just about anything. As such … um … here I am on YouTube watching clips of ...

Tokyo police have decided against prosecuting Kodansha on child porn charges in the much publicized case of AKB48‘s Tomomi Kasai‘s photobook cover picture. The police decided that because Kodansha did as much as it could to stop the circulation of the photo — by delaying the January 12 issue, recalling all copies of that issue from bookstores, reissuing the magazine ...

It’s been a tough past two years for Hamasaki Ayumi in the wake of a failed marriage to an Austrian who posed in Leslie Kee photobooks in arseless underpants for a living, Koda Kumi charting higher than her with an album that sold less copies, a hat-trick of three albums failing to hit #1 on the Oricon chart, and a ...

So this is a couple weeks old, but people were asking, so remember that AKB48 fan that was supposedly losing his shit over their scandals? Well he was indeed trolling and he bought a bike thanks to his trolling. Well played. So I guess it’s just sad that his pretend psychosis was plausible. Read More »

After being sick of looking like Ripley from Alien 3, ICONIQ decided to grow her hair out so that she could look like the girls in Blenda and Jelly magazine, but failed to realize that Avex cannot have two artists on the roster who both have hair and share the same name. Hamasaki Ayumi ain’t going for that, so she ... Read More »

I love “Ninjari Bang Bang“. It’s like Naruto had sex with Taki from Soul Calibur, who then went on a midnight creep with the karate man from Kung-Fu on the NES, who then got drunk and banged his head against a taiko drum whilst the two-dollar ho he picked up earlier in the evening plays Tetris by the side of ...

Stop what the fuck you are doing. The Queen of Okinawa (No Kuroki Meisa, not you. Please sit down. Editor’s Note: FUCK YOU!) Amuro ‘Les Miserables’ Namie has a double A-side single out. One song is for pussy-popping purposes and the other is about self acceptance … of your pussy and how it has the power to change the world. ... Read More »

Your random reminder that the whole of Korean and Japanese music is more than just the summation of idol tracks. The lead vocalist of ONE OK ROCK, Taka, actually used to be a member of Johnny’s Entertainment‘s NEWS, so musically speaking, this is a gigantic upgrade. Allegedly he got kicked out of the idol business after tabloids linked him to ... Read More »
