Readers with long memories may recall the story we published in 2015 about Rie Saito, the beautiful hostess who happened to be deaf from childhood.
At the time, Saito was a single mom, Ginza hostess, and author of a bestselling memoir that was turned into a TV drama in 2010. She was also an aspiring politician.
She successfully ran in an election for Tokyo's Kita Ward Assembly in 2015, serving her full four-year term. She had national ambitions and was subsequently selected as a proportional representation candidate for the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan in the House of ...
The porn star Maria Nagai has announced her pregnancy. The 28-year-old JAV performer made the announcement on social media on October 4.
Reflecting her international following, she wrote in both Japanese and English: "As some of you may have already noticed, I'm blessed with a new life."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, she did not make public any information about the father of her child.
Known for her shapely thighs and H-cup bakunyu bust, Nagai has also worked under such names as Kurumi Kashiwagi, Nanoka Igawa, and Miu Onose.
She debuted in 2014. Nagai was born to a Japanese father and ...
The former gravure idol Saaya has made a comeback to the industry at the age of 31.
In recent years Saaya (whose full name is Saaya Irie) has worked outside gravure, but this years marks her 20th anniversary in the entertainment industry (she started modeling when she was just 11!) and she is commemorating the milestone with an appearance in the current issues of Weekly Playboy, which went on sale on October 6.
An industry staple for many years, Saaya is known for her sweet girl-next-door looks, though a semi-nude shoot she did in the mid-2010s did a lot to increase her mature allure.
She ...
Legal website Bengo4 recently considered a question sent in by a reader: Are there legal repercussions for not having sex on a trip with the person who paid?
This isn't just a question of guys left horny, lonely, and disappointed, forced to jerk off in an expensive hotel room they booked in the expectation of getting sex. More than just sour grapes, there's also the issue of romance scams, where people pretend to be interested in you, even to the extent of agreeing to go to Tokyo Disneyland just because they want a free trip to the resort, not because they want to spend time with you.
The ...
As we know, vaginas come in all shapes and sizes, as do labia and clitorises. But we've never seen a clit like this!
At first, we thought this was a futanari hermaphrodite fetish toy (which are rare but certainly do exist).
No, the Yawaraka-chan's Onahole Debut is a special masturbator toy with an unusually elongated clitoris integrated into the exterior!
Available now globally from our friends at Kanojo Toys, the onahole is based on and inspired by a character who we had personally never heard of, so might be more obscure than the manufacturer believes.
Nonetheless, whether you're an ...
We all know about Japan's penchant for used panties. They're not just an urban legend. They're real and for sale.
But what about used panties as a fashion accessory?
Well, Shibuya-based JennyFax essentially offers this. Not exactly used panties, but it does treat underwear as something that's not at all "under." It's very much "over."
Over the head, that is.
JennyFax's "panties" are designed to be worn like a hair accessory. Yes, as first reported on Oddity Central, you wear these panties on your head.
We haven't seen these "panty ribbon bow" items in the wild, but there must be some ...
On September 29, Tokyo Metropolitan Police referred a 19-year-old male first-year university student from Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on suspicion of distributing obscene images and gambling, among other charges.
He allegedly sold posters featuring obscene images created using an image-generating AI, and then used the proceeds to gamble at online casinos.
According to a senior Tokyo Metropolitan Police official quoted by the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, the student is suspected of making and selling AI-generated obscene images obtained from ...
Fans were delighted to see the return of Shoko Takahashi to the porn scene with her appearance in Macau over the weekend.
Takasho somewhat abruptly retired in 2022, seven years after her debut. She famously made the switch from regular gravure (where she worked as Shoko Takasaki) to adult video after her agency sacked her for getting caught doing compensated dating.
She appeared at PinkD! Entertainment Expo in Macau from September 26 to September 28. China and other parts of Asia are some of the biggest markets for Japanese porn, and performers often appear at such events outside ...
Maebashi is a small city in Gunma, a short distance north from Tokyo and rarely in the news. That all changed this week, however, with the intense media response to reports that the female mayor has been allegedly conducting an affair with a male staffer.
Society seems to respond more strongly to adultery claims when it involves a woman. A male politician having an affair would result in nary an eyebrow raised (opposition party leader Yuichiro Tamaki quickly recovered from his scandal), but it's a very different situation for women in her early forties.
It should be noted from the start, ...
We love to rediscovering idols and models we thought had disappeared into the mists of gravure legend. We were initially confused by the return of Sara Oshino, though, since she now writes her name with different characters (おしの沙羅 instead of the more conventional 忍野さら), and weren't sure if it was the same person. This is probably for contractual reasons with a change in agency but a new name also helps boost publicity.
In this case, it further reflects a new part of Sara's appeal -- that's she's now a calligraphy artist as well as a model -- hence the rather fancy given ...
