Vending machines stocked with used schoolgirl panties may be one of the most often quoted Japanese urban legends, but do they actually exist?
There is no doubt that, to satisfy the auto-erotic practices of panty fetishists, a thriving market for used innerwear does exist in Japan. “Panty fetish” even has it’s own specific term in the Japanese language. “Burusera” (ブルセラ) is a portmanteau coined by combining two words: ‘burumā’ and ‘sērā-fuku’. “Burumā” means bloomers (as in bottoms of gym suits) and “sērā-fuku” means sailor suit (the traditional Japanese school uniforms for schoolgirls).
“Burusera” shops, catering to kinky needs of undergarment fetishism, trade in this sexual desire. The merchandise is often accompanied by ostensibly genuine photos of the girls wearing them, like a ‘certificate of authenticity’ acting not only as an endorsement that the item is authentic, but as an advertisement to entice customers to purchase so they can smell or otherwise experience the panties for sexual stimulation.
Vending machines exist in Japan that dispense underwear that has supposedly been previously worn by schoolgirls. The sale of such garmentry, however, has been outlawed in Japan which has caused the undergarment to go underground. The question therefore remains as to the authenticity of the product that can be found in Japenese vending machines today. Are they actually used underwear and/or schoolgirl underwear or just advertised as such?
The following music video to the Stereo Total song “Wir Tanzen Im Viereck” is not only a funny clip and cool song but probably closest to the truth.
Apparently the Kanji on the sign says “Zettai Reizoku” 「絶対隷属」 meaning absolute slave or absolute subordination. Not sure where the face-hole sign board originates from or even what it is advertising as it is not as direct as the picture of that arsehole/asshole (depending on where you’re from) featured on hamedori (a Japanese term describing filming or photography of sexual activity from a first-person point of view).
What face-hole would you choose? Dominance or submission?
“O-Nep!” was a late night comedy show by the Japanese comedy trio Neptune featuring Taizo Harada, Ken Horiuchi (aka Horiken) and Jun Nagura. The trio name comes from the Kinnikuman character, Neptuneman. The show had a segment called “Your wish will be fulfilled! The travelling Nepu throw” which I like to affectionately refer to as “The Upskirt Judo Guy” because that just about sums it up.
The way that the segment broke down was Taizo Harada would dress in wrestling gear usually in a public location with a lot of young, female spectators. He would run into the crowd, grab a mini-skirt wearing female, and perform a tomoe-nage judo throw, flipping the girl over his head and onto a wrestling mat, exposing her underwear with a cameraman conveniently poised to zoom in on the girls panchira. If by an unfortunate accident there was no glimpse of underwear for the audience to view, not to worry. In this rare instance they send another from the trio who pries the girls legs until satisfactory exposure has been achieved for the camera.
Refer to the following embedded video for a few highlights of the show. This show was apparently taken off air because one of the girls that the The Upskirt Judo Guy flipped wasn’t wearing any underwear. The second embedded video shows the footage of this incident.
