There are mature idols and jukujo, and then there's Miyuki Kojima.
The 73-year-old has just released her "last nude" in an adult photo book shot by veteran Koki Nishida for Shogakukan's Weekly Post digital series.
Always in my Prime: Reunion came out on December 15. It's called a "nude" but the previews indicate it falls more into the category of semi-nude, with no actual breasts on show, which is probably for the best, considering the age of the model. (The shots seem tamer than, say, fiftysomething Fumi Nakajima's releases.)
Kojima has previous, having already released digital ...
In September, one of Japan's most popular YouTubers, Hikaru, experienced a major backlash when he announced that his new marriage with his beautiful 30-year-old wife was an open one in which they would both have other partners.
The 34-year-old faced heavy criticism for declaring so brazenly that he wanted to seek out extramarital partners.
Now comes the quite unsurprising news that Hikaru and Shingeki no Noa (Minori Maeda), a former hostess turned businesswoman and model, have divorced after just seven months of marriage.
Hikaru announced the news on his YouTube channel on December ...

Published by Kodansha, the book came out on December 10. To promote it, Ikechan has made her first public appearance since her scandal in July, when it emerged that she was having a relationship with a married man, Kosuke Minowa, a prominent editor at publisher Gentosha.

The curvy, comely Sayaka Isoyama has demonstrated her ageless allure yet again with the release of her latest photo book Yoin (translating as “afterglow” or “resonance”).
It was released by major publisher Kodansha on October 22, marking Isoyama’s 25th anniversary in the entertainment industry. Kodansha quickly released a follow-up digital edition, afterglow, on December 5 with further images.
Both books were shot in Cairns when Isoyama was 41 years old, though she has since turned 42. Isoyama is famously unmarried and perpetually single.
Images of a voluptuously, ...

In November, Bunshun published a two-part report about an elderly female prostitute, based on a book by Mizuho Takagi about street prostitution in the Kabukicho district of Shinjuku, Tokyo. The same book included an interview with a teen prostitute in Kabukicho, previously introduced in October.
One morning in Kabukicho, Takagi called out to an elderly woman crouching on the asphalt and got to know her. Kumi (not her real name) was standing on the street, working as an elderly streetwalker for ¥3,000 a session. She looked to be over 60 years old. He gradually came to learn her story.
Born ...
One of the biggest media stories in the autumn was the salacious scoop about the female mayor of Maebashi, a small city just outside Tokyo, and her love hotel trysts with an older male staffer.
After admitting the meetings and in the inappropriateness of them, but continuing to denying she was having an affair with the married man, 42-year-old Akira Ogawa eventually resigned as mayor in late November.
Most voters interviewed by the media found Ogawa's explanations unconvincing and it was clear that her position was untenable. The city set up a special hot line and received over 12,000 phone ...
