/ Tadashi Anahori
We recently introduced the great nude sex scenes that gravure idol Sena Natsuki does in last year's film Chijin no Ai.
Translated as A Fool's Love or Naomi, the Tanizaki novel is a modern classic that has been adapted several times before.
Indeed, there was another version in 2024. Chijin no Ai Reversed (Naomi: Reversed) is, as the title suggests, a reinterpretation of the novel that reverses the main roles: now it's a woman who takes up with a younger, extravagant man, who comes to dominate her in the relationship. (In the original and most adaptations, Naomi is the younger and wanton ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
In Let, Sonoya Mizuno has a lesbian scene in which she and the actress An-Li Bogan slowly and passionately kiss.
There's no nudity but things get pretty hot, with Mizuno pulling up her lover's hands to choke her at one point during their embrace.
Let is a 2024 short film directed by Alyssa Loh about a law student dealing with loneliness.

/ Tadashi Anahori
A survey recently announced results from research asking Japanese men to choose the professions they wanted their future wife to do.
In other words, these are the jobs that Japanese men apparently think make a woman more attractive as a possible wife.
Minna no Ranking's online poll was hardly extensive, collecting online responses from just 765 men, who could assign points to a list of occupations.
There are some surprises and conventional results, which you can also find summarized in English in more detail on SoraNews24.
In descending order, the top five were: chef, ...
The decline of the porn disposal box in Japan
February 17, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
The internet has had an immeasurable impact on sex, from providing access to invaluable advice and information, to enabling people to watch hardcore porn at just the click of a button or swipe and tape of a phone screen.
Some argue that having such easy access to porn all the time is unhealthy, especially at a very young and impressionable age. Some blame the ubiquity of porn for the rise of certain violent sexual preferences, like choking.
In Japan, porn has long been ubiquitous since the emergence of the adult video industry in the 1980s, though porn magazines and books were already big ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Gravure idol Sena Natsuki amazed us with her nude photo book late last year, which featured shots of her naked breasts and ass.
Around the same time, the 28-year-old appeared in the title role in yet another film adaptation of Jun'ichiro Tanizaki's erotic classic A Fool's Love (Chijin no Ai, also translated as Naomi). The subject matter and trailer promised nudity.
And the film delivered.
In one scene, she and her lover make love passionately on the tatami floor of a room, with lots of closeups of Sena Natsuki's breasts and nipples as her lover caresses and sucks them. This comes after ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of top gravure magazine Weekly Friday, the Grademy Award was announced last autumn and votes collected online to find what was billed as Asia's top gradol.
Almost all of the 232 candidates were Japanese, though, so the "Asian" claim was slightly disingenuous. But quibbles aside, the public votes have been counted and the results -- and awards -- finally announced online earlier last week.
The top prize -- billed as Most Valuable Gradol -- went to leading gravure idol Ina Enohara.
Best Newcomer (also billed as Best Gradol Debut) was shared by ...

February 6, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
Aging like a fine red wine, the former Japanese TV announcer Mariko Seyama has proven year by year that older is not only better, but more provocative.
The mature gravure star has continued to strip even as she reached her forties. Indeed, it wasn't until she arrived at that milestone that she showed us her naked breasts, after years of semi-nude shoots.
Seyama is a former announcer for NTV who moved into gravure in 2012. The Tokyo native is a graduate from Keio University, one of the most prestigious colleges in Japan. She is also divorced, having been married from 2009 to 2015. Her ...
