Japan Husband-hunting school!
With low birth rates in Japan, Some people are trying to find a solution for relationship problems….Take for example this case…An school for spouse hunters in Japan.
The Infini school offers various classes for wannabe brides and grooms at a time when many people in Japan are either shunning the institution of marriage or are finding it very difficult to hook up with a partner.
The school, which is open to men and women, teaches students how to talk, walk and present themselves elegantly in a bid to capture the hearts and minds of prospective partners and their parents, who are often a major obstacle to successful unions.
Infini, which opened last month, now has about 30 female students. An almost equal number of males has signed up, but those who actually turn up to class are much fewer than their female counterparts.
“I had never even thought that my boyfriend’s mother could play such a big role in my relationship, but now I’ve realized I need to start thinking seriously about how to impress my future in-laws,” said Kozue Sugawara, 29, who joined the school after her previous marriage plans failed.
With women wielding increased economic clout and changing social attitudes toward marriage, more Japanese in their 20s and 30s are single than ever before.
Government statistics show nearly two-thirds of women under the age of 34 are unmarried, despite some 3,800 firms in Japan offering match-making services.
The average age of the school’s female students is 30 years.
“Before, people would find it easy to get married because families and society would connect them in some way, sometimes pushing them to get married. But nowadays, people have too many choices and cannot seem to make up their minds,” said Etsuko Satake, principal of the Infini marriage prep school.
Instructors provide critiques about students’ dress, posture and even details such as how they cross their legs or get out of a car. Men and women are taught different skills, which range from how to set a table well to how to be more emotionally expressive.
Students also simulate dates, during which their instructors grade their performance and point out what they did wrong.
The school charges an annual fee of 200,000 yen ($2,217) for unlimited access to its classes.
And some students, such as 32-year-old Mei Oda, seem to think it’s an investment worth making.
“I’m looking for a man who makes more than 10 million yen (110,000 dollars) a year, doesn’t ask me to live with his parents and takes good care of me,” said Oda, a contract office worker.
Experts say that with Japan’s economy plunged deep into recession, many women are taking a renewed interest in marriage and the economic stability it could provide, and are actively seeking a partner through “konkatsu” or spouse-hunting activities.
I dont know if I should cry or laugh about the 10 million yen a year part…I think She is looking for a CEO and not exactly just a husband!

Sleeping with Hinako and Bed Technology!
I really enjoyed Training with Hinako. It was a great video, featuring a cute girl with nice assets and also She “interacts” with the viewer in an entertaining way.
Sleeping with Hinako is a completely different story. The girl still cute but the interaction is just BORING…For most part of the video, you can check virtually every side of Hinako (I will leave that to your imagination), her sleeping habits, some dream sequences, etc…
But honestly…watching her sleeping for most part of the 45 minute video is some sort of torture…or maybe, thats the goal of the video…to make you sleep…Of course, that doesnt work if you have a fast forward button!
Another thing is the TV setting.You need a good TV and place it somewhere in a manner that you can fully enjoy the experience. I can recommend two ways…Words or Sarcasm are not enough!
Now, thats a really cool bed right?
Overall, for a cheap price and a virtual girl, you can enjoy the experience of sleeping with an anime character in “Sleeping with Hinako”….But I think there are better ways to enjoy the experience like Dakimakura for example…
A little bit expensive, but it is more interactive. One thing is for sure…I really want to know what other ideas, Hinako creators will bring next!
JAL Stewardess Uniforms finds a new market!
Japan Airlines wants to protect their stewardess uniforms against fetishists and the Sex industry…
New Japan Airlines are considering sewing security chips into their stewardess uniforms because they have become so popular on the black market.
The airline (JAL) have found the uniforms, which feature grey jackets or waistcoasts, skirts, hats and a red neckerchief, are so in demand in the sex industry that they can be sold for a fortune.
In addition, worn uniforms are incredibly popular with fetishists. While many shops sell credible copies for under £100, genuine JAL uniforms can reach a fortune if sold on the black market.
Consumers believe the prospect of former staff selling their uniforms after being made redundant is highly likely.
Yu Teramoto, who owns a costumier in Tokyo, said: ‘It’s hard to say but it is at moment of confusion and anger like this that the black market for uniforms should do well.’
JAL are now considering following in the footsteps of Japan’s All Nippon Airways, who had a similar problem with their uniforms, by sewing computer chips into the outfits.
After installation, the chips can be tracked from space.
A spokesperson for JAL said the company would be using a new protocol which would mean it was ‘virtually impossible for an individual to hold on to their uniform after they have left their job’.
The spokesperson also admitted that after a uniform worn by staff in the business class lounge surfaced on an internet auction site, JAL paid £1,500 to keep it off the black market.
