Masanobu Sato holds the world record in masturbating since 2008. According to Kotaku, Sato’s record is 9 hours and 59 minutes! What’s even stranger is that he has a live-in girlfriend that helps time his efforts. He also prefers hentai over real girls because they are “dirty” and “smell.”

Photo booths, known as Purikura in Japan, have been designed to make you look cuter by making your eyes bigger and your skin lighter. The effect seems to work great on girls, but not so much on guys. Most girls think the guys look freakishly alien with the larger eyes instead of better. I agree.

Mona Lisa on the other hand they feel looks quite “cute!”

Our friends at Bouncing Red Ball scoured the net looking for photos of Japanese factories at night. What they came up with is nothing short of amazing. The colors, lights, smoke and complex railings looks like something straight out of a Neo Tokyo.

If there’s one store you have to stop at in Akihabara, it’s Yodobashi Camera. This insane electronics megastore has the widest selection of toys, videos, computers, laptops, cameras and audio equipment you’ll ever find in one place. At 9 stories tall, plan to spend at least a few hours here emptying your wallet.

Every major camera brand you can imagine, but of course there’s only one tha matters — Nikon!

Huge selection of Audio-Technica headphones and you even get to try before you buy.

Now this was crazy… rows and rows of endless coin operated toy dispensers.

The record number of women groped on Tokyo’s trains continue to rise. As the suburban trains are usually crowded, bringing the workers to large cities and back to their suburban homes, close physical contact is unavoidable. Many men use this to their advantage, pressing onto women and groping them. The groping problem is so extreme that Tokyo started a campaign of women-only carriages.

So how’s a groper supposed to get his kicks? Welcome to “Train Cafe,” a simulated train where groping is allowed just minutes away from Tokyo’s Ikebukuro station. The cost to ride is 5,000 yen (~$42US). Once each hour, Train Cafe holds an “all aboard” event, where the paying male members “board” the train together with the girls and engage in simulated ‘chikan’ (groper) play.

Each 20 minute ride allows gropers to grabs any girl’s behinds or breasts. Upskirt grabs aren’t allowed and will result in a violation. Since the girls are just normal folk that hang out at the Cafe after work, male attenders are free to ask them for a date or drink after the session has ended. Could you imagine an Amtrak version of this in the states?
