The 39-year-old gravure model and celebrity Yoko Kumada is "working" at a luxury hostess club in Ginza. Well, kind of. The initial media headlines were a little misleading.
Kumada's entrepreneur husband was arrested last month for assaulting her, including allegedly hitting her in the face, but was released without charge two days later. She has announced her intention to start divorce proceedings, though there are also reports that the incident was prompted by her husband's suspicions of her adultery, which might complicate things. She and her husband have three young children.
She shared ...
In 2017, the so-called Virgin Killer Sweater clothing item -- a curious combo of cuddly knitwear and a backless design -- exploded on the internet in Japan. Its viral success was thanks in no small part to gravure idol Jun Amaki, who modeled the outfit with amazing results.
The item became available in various versions and more people began to buy it. For a while, it was harder to get but we are pleased that our friends at Kanojo Toys have recently stocked several new types, including a white one, an "open-front" version, and a set with knee-high socks.
As such, we also thought it a good ...
Things don't happen in a vacuum: even if the new porn star isn't already famous and making a switch from gravure modeling or another career to JAV (e.g., Ruu Yumemi or Shizuku Taiyo), the chances are she was doing something beforehand.
And being an underground (chika) idol is one. These young women inhabit the groups that etch out a precarious living doing small gigs and events, attended by a modest but devoted following of fans.
The chika idol group Miramajo (みらまじょ) made a sudden decision to disband in January of this year, giving no formal reason -- meaning it was probably ...
The Japanese porn performer Eimi Fukada has announced on her YouTube channel that she is moving homes after her address was identified.
The 23-year-old, whose adult toys are also immensely popular, was rumbled by college students near where she lives in Shinjuku and by others when she was spotted at a local convenience store.
While they are not as accepted in the mainstream entertainment world as regular models and celebrities -- and always euphemistically called "sexy actresses" by the media -- top AV stars have thousands of fans, almost all men -- and willing to go to great lengths to ...
Shortly to graduate NMB48, Miru Shiroma is releasing a new photo book, "Reborn," and it's possibly her hottest ever as she seeks to position herself for a new phase in her career after eleven years in the idol group.
The 23-year-old is the last remaining original member of the Osaka-based group. Her second solo photo book and timed to coincide with her departure, "Reborn" comes out July 7 and features Mirurun in a somewhat different take on the standard tebura "hand bra" pose.
Shiroma already gave us an alluring "hair bra" pose for her first photo book in 2019, along with great shots of her ...
A drugs scandal has spelled the end of many celebrities' careers in Japan. Only a lucky few have managed to crawl back into the limelight and it took a lot of time.
As we blogged in late March, the gyaru model and tarento Yukipoyo (Yuki Kimura) seemed to run into an insurmountable snag in her burgeoning career when her apparent boyfriend was busted for drugs -- with her in attendance.
The Japanese-Filipino recently made a tearful apology on TV and, even more effectively, landed a new promotional gig with a gym chain and launched a photo book with even more provocative shots than before ...
Summer is nearly here and we are looking forward to some camping. Ideally with a lady like this.
Tomomi Morisaki is so hot, she's on fire. That's the unsubtle yet apt metaphor conveyed in her latest photo shoot, which has a "phoenix" theme with the lovely Tomomi posing in lingerie around open flames. The shoot was featured in an issue of Weekly Playboy released in late April, meaning the outdoors shoot was actually done when the weather was still quite mild. Now that's commitment to her craft.
The stunning 28-year-old with a G-cup, long a favorite of this blog, is promoting the ...
What happens to the beauty contest finalists who don't quite make it?
Though the winners often go on to carve careers as models and celebrities (and a small minority do more interesting things like become porn stars or appear in sex tapes), what about the almost-rans?
One example is Fumika Mizukusa (水草文香), a 2018 Miss Japan finalist when she was a young 23 years old (and a first-year student at the University of Tokyo, Japan's most prestigious university).
Now Mizukusa is a little older and wiser -- and a lot hotter and willing to exploit that.
Working today under the name Fumika ...
It's one of the most hotly anticipated porn debuts of the year -- and now we have some more preview images to pour over until the video comes out.
First she appeared, then disappeared, then reappeared. Shizuku Taiyo burst onto the scene as a gravure idol in late 2019, only to promptly vanish.
Thank the Shinto gods that they saw fit to guide her nascent career in a new direction.
She has relaunched herself as an adult video star now called Minamo. As we reported last week, her debut comes out on June 10 from Soft on Demand. The release (1stars371) is a three-hour epic and we can now share ...
Following fellow Hinatazaka46 member Kyoko Saito's semi-nude photo book earlier in the year, now comes the news that Nao Kosaka is releasing her debut photo book.
The swimwear-themed book, "Kimi wa dare?" (Who are you?), will delight fans of the gentle-faced 18-year-old. Kosakana's slender body is showcased in these bikini shots. Unfortunately, only one of the preview photos actually shows her in swimwear.
The book comes out in Japan on June 29.
We personally prefer our ladies with more experience and maturity, but we can see why Nao Kosaka has her fans: a pure-looking ...
