The 25-year-old gravure idol Minami Haruna (春名美波) has just got a career boost with her first photo book release at the end of last month, plus she has made a splash in the weeklies by going nude for it.
The former race queen looks ravishing in these shoots, which range from a hotel room to a ship, a swimming pool, and what seems to be a random spot in the countryside.
"Harenchi na watashi" (Shameless Me) is a genuinely nude photo book, though it's not full-frontal nudity and it's a little disingenuous with the breasts nudity.
We get to see Haruna's butt in all its bare glory, but ...
The feminist activist Yumi Ishikawa made headlines worldwide in 2019 with her #KuToo campaign against wearing high heels in workplaces.
The actor and model also simultaneously made a lot of enemies, especially among male trolls, and is frequently attacked online. Some call her a hypocrite, since when she was younger, she posed for full-frontal nude shoots as a model and did at least one nude scene as an actor. (Personally, we don't see a problem here: you can do both feminist campaigning and sexually appealing modeling -- the two are not mutually exclusive -- and we all do things in our ...
As we were in a bookstore recently perusing the crowded lineup of idol photo books released in the autumn to catch the end-of-year season, we found ourselves returning again and again to the stunning new offering from Yuka Someya.
As regular readers will know, Someya has featured multiple times on this blog.
She has recently established herself as the queen of the hair nude -- the full-frontal nude shoot that is usually allowed in spite of Japan's nominal legal ban on showing genitalia, including bush -- with several such shoots.
Someya is now aged 30 and as sultry and curvy as ever. She ...
In a sign that times are a-changing and probably a first for the industry, the Japanese adult brand Magic Eyes has teamed up with Onanist Take (pronounced like the Japanese surname, "Ta-key"), a popular amateur content creator on Pornhub, for two collaboration toys.
"Hentais all over the world!" as the man says on his Pornhub page. "My name is Onanist Take and I am a professional Japanese onanist who seeks for the ways of the most intense pleasure in masturbation! I am creating movies for all my fans!"
And now he's also creating lube.
The Ten Days of Not Jerking Off Semen Lubricant is, as ...
The mayor of Nagoya, Takashi Kawamura, has been accused of making an inappropriate hand gesture when posing for a photo with young music idols.
The head of Japan's fourth largest city, and a major industrial center, the 74-year-old mayor stood for a jocular pic with several attendees at a Korean cultural festival in Nagoya held on November 12 and 13.
However, it was immediately noticed that he did the fig sign with his right hand. The image of the smiling Kawamura, surrounded by women decades younger (dressed in traditional Korean clothing), with his thumb between two fingers has caused a ...
Back in May, we reported on the arrests of the head of Japanese secondhand book store chain Mandarake and four of its employees over the sale of sexually explicit old photo books, which the chain apparently sold online and at two of its stores.
Though "hair nude" photo books with full-frontal nudity have been produced and sold by mainstream publishers for decades, the books in question here were so-called "vinyl books," which are older and more obscure -- and less regulated. They constitute a kind of gray zone in terms of adult publications in Japan: hair nude books are "celebrity books" or ...
Everyone wants to be famous and everyone seems to think they can do it on YouTube. And so you get armies of wannabe YouTubers appearing daily, all vying for attention. What to click? What to search?
But then you get some content which is truly worthy of your time.
As always, the simpler the concept, the better. How does watching a beautiful girl walk around Tokyo with no bra sound? Enticing, right?
To be accurate, she's nominally clothed, just braless underneath her top. And so we get the alluring, oddly calming delight of seeing her nipples poking through her clothing as she wanders ...
One of the biggest news stories last week, at least in our adult-flavored orbit, was the arrest of several people on allegations of organizing orgies in Tokyo.
Five men and women are accused of holding swinger parties where members of the public would pay to have sex with each other. The charges related to breaches of the prostitution law: organizers are accused of prostituting the female attendees by recruiting them for the parties.
It is reported that they made ¥650 million (the equivalent at current exchange rates of $4.6 million) in 10 years by holding over a dozen such events in a ...
A month's gone by and we wanted to update readers about Sayaka Nitori's photo book, Ribbon.
Her debut print release (advertised as semi-nude) puts her amazing G-cup bust at the front and center of proceedings, though her slinky body and ass are not neglected either.
Though not classified formally as a nude photo book, her nipples are nonetheless visible underneath her clothing or behind a gauze, and at least one ravishing shot shows her totally naked kneeling in the bath with her butt, bare back, side boob, and a bit of nipple on display. There's a similar follow-up shot with her lying in ...
Private detectives are something of a cottage industry in Japan: they derive much of their clientele from men or women (but especially women) who suspect their spouses of adultery. Catching them in the act or at least gathering concrete evidence of adultery will lead to a better payout in a divorce. Many such services specialize in discreet teams of female agents with hidden cameras.
One recent story seems to start off in the usual manner.
A wife suspected her husband (not pictured) of adultery and hired an agency to snoop around. The warning signs were there.
Her husband would disappear ...
