The 50 Hottest Japanese AV Idols
Work Safe: Yes
What do we love about Japan? Its style? Its technology? Its baseball-playing chimpanzees? All of the above, plus at least one more: its AV idols.

Shutting Themselves In
Work Safe: Yes
One morning when he was 15, Takeshi shut the door to his bedroom, and for the next four years he did not come out. He didn’t go to school. He didn’t have a job. He didn’t have friends.
