As widely reported in the print and TV media this week, top Japanese porn star (or "sexy actress" as the mainstream media euphemism has it) Yuria Satomi was the victim of theft at her exclusive Nakameguro condo on the morning of October 26.
Two thieves posing as delivery men broke into her apartment after she answered the door. The AV actress was held down by one while the other ransacked her home in search of cash. They were apparently in phone contact with and receiving instructions from an accomplice outside, said Satomi, who feared for her life during the incident despite the men's ...
The gravure idol Hikaru Aoyama (青山ひかる) is busty even by the standards of her busty cohorts in the industry: she apparently has an I cup.
Now the 27-year-old is releasing her first photo book -- surprisingly she has not made one before, despite being one of the best-known gradols and a regular in the weeklies over the course of her seven-year career -- and has generously rewarded fans yearning to see more of her flesh with a series of semi-nude shots that really show off as much of her body as possible without actually revealing nipples or bush.
Tactfully placed hands and even ...
Top Japanese porn producer Soft on Demand has opened its mini theme park complex in Kabukicho, Tokyo, which, despite recent gentrification, remains one of the centers of the adult and sex industry.
As previously reported, SOD Land is five floors devoted to porn. Visitors can get food and drink served by actual adult video stars or sex workers in several different types of establishments.
Here are some pictures from when the site opened to the public on October 10. People were lining to get in, despite the pre-typhoon rainy weather.
The "silent bar" on the top floor is the ...
They say that television is fake and this story may not convince you otherwise.
Netizens have exposed the beautiful woman who is supposedly an instructor at the Uzumasa Driving School in Kyoto as a gravure model.
Featured on a Japanese TV show as Aimi Yoshikawa (吉川愛未, not to be confused with Aimi Yoshikawa 吉川あいみ, the retired porn star), ostensibly because the driving school is covered by the government incentives aimed at encouraging domestic trips, this Aimi was, in fact, none other than Aimi (あいみ), a mononymous gradol much-admired for her svelte ...
The Japanese gravure idol (glamor model) industry is a competitive and overly populated place, with idols coming and going in quick succession.
In order to maintain their status, idols are required to keep up strong social media presences. This, of course, means Twitter and Instagram, but increasingly also YouTube. Gradols have to be YouTubers these days, too.
The coronavirus has made this more urgent than before as splashy shoots and meet-and-greet events are either not having or only in far reduced numbers, decreasing the potential for idols to earn fees. Perhaps feeling the pinch, ...
Airi Sato (佐藤あいり) is an up-and-coming gravure idol and actress whose recent shoots have seen her earn a following for a rare fusion: sensual, sexy allure; a genuine and clean beauty; and girl-next-door charm.
It's an unusual ability to combine sultry come-hither looks with marriage-material middle-class respectability. But Airi Sato, who emerged first in 2018 when she won a prize at a beauty contest run by a magazine, seems to achieve it.
Specifically, the 23-year-old is praised by fans as an example of hattoshin (八頭身 or 八等身) -- literally, "eight-heads body" -- an ...
Former AKB48 idol Mariya Suzuki (鈴木まりや) has stripped off for a semi-nude photo book.
The 29-year-old joined AKB48 in 2009 and transferred to Shanghai-based sister group SNH48 in 2012. She graduated in June 2017. She has since worked as an actress and maintained a following tens of thousands-strong on social media.
"Merenda" (presumably derived from the Italian word meaning "nuncheon") is her debut photo book and is released on Monday. To promote it, Suzuki is appearing in gravure shoots in Flash, Entame, and Asagei Secret magazines. The project represents her first attempt at a ...
The Weekly Playboy bar in Kabukicho was a big success back in 2017. We were reminded of it -- and how few chances there are to encounter the adult industry in a bricks-and-mortar setting other than just a shop in the likes of Akihabara -- when we read the exciting news that top Japanese porn production and distribution company Soft on Demand is opening what is essentially a sex theme park in Tokyo.
Ostensibly, the building will host restaurants and bars staffed by genuine porn performers, following the precedent established by Weekly Playboy's bar, where real gravure idols served ...
In a recent photo shoot, Yuki Kashiwagi (Yukirin) has seemingly revealed to her many admirers that she goes paipan downstairs.
The 29-year-old veteran member of AKB48 would seem to be hairless between her legs, either through shaving or waxing.
The photo in question is from the cover of a recent issue of weekly magazine Young Jump, released in Japan on September 10. What a wonder the zoom function is! What treasures it reveals!
In a ten-page cover shoot for the weekly Flash out this week, Kashiwagi looks back on her career in the supergroup.
This month, Yukirin also appears in a ...
There are nip slips and then there are nip slips.
The gravure idol Hikari Hashimoto (橋本ひかり) recently suffered an incident that falls squarely into the latter category.
For reasons known only to the people who devise Japanese television content, the idol was recently doing an interview (filmed live and remotely from her home) for the web channel AbemaTV in which she was supposed to whip off her top to reveal her bikini beneath. Unfortunately (or not), her breasts had come loose from the flimsy bikini top (or bikini-style bra) and her right nipple was firmly and delightfully visible ...
