The sex-starved see sex everywhere!

Unless the boy in the “A high school girl’s chest being touched” has a horrible hand deformity, you will see that the girl is touching her own chest, and the boy is touching her wrist / the back of her hand.

Nice price on the love hotel, but sexual antics during the day while desirable (for most males any time is a good time!) is probably better explained by the two people actually working at said establishment.

Actually, a closer look will show that the boy does have his hand on her unmentionables, while SHE is clutching HIS wrist.

His shirt sleve has only one fold, that puts the end of his sleve is about 10cm away from his wrist. This would mean that his hand would have to be ‘extra long’ to reach as far up her chest as the picure suggests.

Her arm is folded double, palm facing and resting on her chest. His hand rests on her hand (a lot shorter distance).

- Let’s agree to disagree, because this could go round in circles without access to a high def. picture, and I’m not going to scour the streets to find it! HeHe.

If you go down the street and swivel the camera back on the two – you will see they are snogging.

“her unmentionables”??!!
Give me a break! Her tits, oppai, chest, breasts… call it what you will, my friend. “Unmentionables” it is not!

Awwww, looks like Google removed the first and last photo.
The snogging photo is still there, though.

Yes, people have been really digging into Streetview. For an application that isn’t quite as carnally-driven, some people are using it to identify famous places that have appeared on TV (such as in dorama).

Here’s one for anyone who is currently watching Seigi no Mikata (正義の味方):

Very nice finds. At least the love hotel couple had their backs turned from the camera.

Yes, I was very stoked that Japan finally got Street View. Having lived in Tokyo for the past 5 years, many times this would have come in handy for scouting a neighborhood or train station in this maze-like city.

Those are already some crazy finds by the Street View cameras!

Here is my street which is near Shinjuku station:
