We all know and love the likes of Maria Ozawa. But something like 95% of Japanese porn is populated not by stars but by so-called kikaku joyu, or "project actresses" -- these are the unsung heroines of an industry that products 20,000 titles a year. In the same way that American porn has anonymous fluffers doing much of the dog's work, the kikaku joyu provide the meat for all the incredible JAV porn films that involve sometimes dozens or even hundreds of actresses. They will play the "regular girl" roles -- OL, nurse, student etc. They are typically scouted on the streets or recruited ...

Kimaka Ichijo (一条綺美香) has just burst onto the Japanese porn scene with her very sexy debut feature for Soft on Demand at the ripe old age of forty-eight years. The unmarried MILF-like beauty Ichijo applied to SOD and in the making of her virgin feature she was actually embracing the body of a man for the first time in three years. Wow, she looks amazing. Check out her G-cup! It's being released with a lot of fanfare, including signed copies and others with her used panties attached. But we reckon just the basic movie is MORE than enough entertainment. She's firmly in the ...

Classic Japanese pornography star Nao Saejima (冴島奈緒) has passed away at the age of just 44, following a five-year battle with cancer. Saejima appeared in over forty JAV adult films and she also even formed a porn pop band in the late Eighties. Always popular with fans and colleagues, Saejima was famed for her truly exquisite breasts, to which we at Tokyo Kinky would like to pay tribute with this ...

As part of its celebration of thirty-five years leading the business, Orient Industry recently held an exhibition at Vanilla Gallery. The oddly titled The artificial Otome Expo [sic] (otome means "maiden" or "virgin") featured a range of luxury silicone love dolls "Dutch wives" on display, including two ladies very seductively holding a large phallic object. With Japan in recession, in general people aren't spending much money. Retail has moved more and more towards cheaper fashion, cheaper food, cheaper drinks. So it's hard to persuade people to put some several thousands ...

DMM, a major Japanese online retailer for adult goods (okay, they also do a lot of regular DVD rental and retail too), have taken a step into a new kind of service. They have set up DMM Community for people (guys?) to become "horny friends" and to talk about, well, sexy stuff. We also love the take on the "ii ne" ("like") button. It's the similar-sounding "eroi ne!" ("sexy"), a typically Japanese play on words that simultaneously makes things fun but also honest. Every time I walk around Shibuya I feel like I need an "eroi ne!" button top. You can use the functions when ...

In the rich and varied pantheon of Japanese moe and fetishes, this is a new one for us. Tired with not only how a regular water cooler looks but also what it dispenses, one enterprising otaku has added a fixture to the unit. It's a life-sized cardboard version of a sexy but coy Japanese schoolgirl in the unsurprisingly moe schoolgirl style. Why is she embarrassed? Because you can look up her skirt, slip your cup in the crotch and then draw the liquid from between her legs! Yes, you drink her "pee". Of course, golden shower and pee fetishes are not that unusual ...

We just never cease to be amazed by Tenga, the Japanese adult toy brand that half designer sex accessory, half lifestyle choice. Tenga first shot to fame with the Tenga Flip Hole. Since then it hasn't looked back! After art exhibitions, music events at Womb and dozens of eggs, 3D toys and incredible-looking masturbators, Tenga has now come up with Tenga Hero, a manga about... well, itself! The manga is 35 pages long and has been created by Doguri. As you might expect, it's not exactly strong on story but for fans or the curious, it must make for an interesting ...

Underworld investigative blogger Tokyo Reporter has shared a story about the arrest of three Yakuza gangsters on suspicion of introducing a 17-year-old girl to men for sex at love hotels in the Kabukicho red-light this March. According to police, the teenage girl ran away from home in February. While walking through the streets of Kabukicho, she was approached by Doi, who asked, "How old are you? Will you have sex?" Miyashita then arranged an apartment the victim used while she engaged in prostitution. The girl told officers that she provided sexual services to about 100 men over a ...

Remember how we posted a few weeks back about the awesome Orient Industry love doll photo contest? In the competition, the proud owners of Japan's best high-grade silicone sex dolls were asked to take loving portraits of their companions and submit them to the judges. Well, the winners have been announced. The overall winner is SAKITAN for his culinary-themed image of a faithful doll in the kitchen, temptingly holding out a cherry... Here are some of the other runners up... The entrants ranged from younger guys (people used pseudonyms so I guess in theory there ...

Little BSD, a cosplay izakaya in Akihabara, has been offering blue-colored yaki soba at Moe1 Grand Prix, a moe character regional development event. Although they are careful not to use the name, it's fairly obvious from the coloring (and the cosplay costume of the staff!) that this is an attempt to be an unofficial Hatsune Miku-themed food. Miku is the famous artificial character created for the Vocaloid singing synthesizer by Yamaha and now with a whole life of its (her?) own. The noodles are only available in limited numbers, no doubt as the dye needed is a rare ...
