We've always been a fan of the older idols. We find the photo shoots sexier and the woman more alluring.
From Chiharu Komatsu to Naomi Kawashima and Azumi Kawashima, our glory days are the 1990s and early 2000s, especially when the so-called "hair nude" shoots were still at their peak.
Kanako Kojima is one such beauty. Born in 1975, her career height was from around 1997 for a few years as an actress and tarento. Towards the end -- in 2006 -- she released a great hair nude photo book. She also showed off her naked pregnant body.
These days she is in her forties and out of the limelight as ...
Karaoke is a way of life in Japan. You can't expect a gathering of friends not to end sometimes with a trip to a dark karaoke box for a sing-song.
We also know from experience karaoke rooms are great places to "seal the deal" on a date.
But we didn't know that you could have such adult fun with karaoke itself.
Joysound -- one of Japan's main karaoke systems -- seems to have an adult setting where you can play songs with videos featuring fully nude AV stars.
The images aren't great but they should give you some idea of the awesomeness of this!
If you turn on the ...
Porn workers of the world, unite! Do Japan’s porn actresses and actors have labor rights? This was the question asked in a recent feature in the Japan Times.
Ostensibly a report on a May 4th talk at a Koenji cafe, it was about the AV industry's response to Human Rights Now (HRN), which had issued a damning report about the local AV industry.
The international NGO, which is based in Tokyo and has U.N. special consultative status, reported the results of an in-depth investigation into the pornography business in Japan. The report concluded that the industry had violated the human ...
This is a growing trend: Japanese women's past dabbling in porn unexpectedly exposed, jeopardizing their new-found careers.
Already this year we have seen voice actress Emi Niita's previous AV moonlighting come to light, while we recently blogged about a TV presenter who lost her job due to a porn appearance.
It's certainly much easier today to search and find images of obscure and even anonymous porn stars, though the sheer volume of porn produced in Japan annually also makes this no mean feat. If you appeared in something, the chances are someone has put the DVD online and your past ...
Like big boobs? Check.
Like things being wrapped around big boobs? Check.
Yes, this photo book by Yuji Susaki may have it all.
Wrap the Boobs is a new photo book about Japanese girls with giant breasts (not quite bakunyu but getting there) and how wrapping their perfect jugs in things can heighten the visual feast.
The photographer is previously known for his work with cosplayers like idol group Dempagumi.inc..
Models in the new photo book -- out now from Ichijinsha -- include Hikaru Aoyama, Mizuki Katase, Jun Amaki (formerly of the masked idol group Kamen Joshi), and the ...
In 2015, Nippon Television landed in hot water when it rescinded a job offer for a college graduate after it found out she had experience as a Ginza hostess. Rina Sasazaki took the broadcaster to court and won a settlement as well as her original job offer back again.
Here's a similar cautionary tale.
Kayo Matsumoto is a freelance TV presenter (called "announcers" in Japan). She was forced to leave TV Aichi in September 2014 after her dabbling in porn was exposed. As we know, the AV industry is absolutely huge and every year an army of women debut in porn. Most have short careers and an ...
Former SKE48 idol Momona Kito, who made a sensational porn debut last year under the name Yua Mikami, has picked up prize at the DMM.R18 Adult Awards 2016.
Kito went from being a minor music idol in the AKB48 spin-off group to an AV star in just one release. Muteki -- a porn studio that specializes in idols, actors and celebrities making the switch from mainstream entertainment to AV -- then persuaded her to launch a full career in the adult industry and she quickly followed up with further releases.
Adored for her immaculate bust, Kito/Mikami picked up the award for best ...
Mitsu Dan is no stranger when it comes to nudity and showing us pretty much everything she's got.
Even as she gets older (she's now a ripe 35) and goes more mainstream, she still seems unafraid to shed her clothing.
While he days of appearing in soft-core bondage movies are likely behind her, a recent spread in a weekly magazine featured deliciously nude shots of Mitsu Dan taken over the course of the last 12 months. Her honeypot body is as curvy as ever.
Care to spend a year in her sumptuous ...
The alluring gravure idol and actress Haruna Yabuki (formerly known as Mari Abe) has gone fully nude in a "hair nude" shoot for Golden Week in a weekly tabloid magazine, shot by the famed photographer Kishin Shinoyama.
Though she has done semi-nude shoots before, this is a new step for the 1984-born Yabuki, who has officially now become a jukujo like Manami Hashimoto or Mitsu Dan.
The truth is, Yabuki's career is at a bit of an ebb. She broke up with her idiot celebrity boyfriend after she caught him in bed with a hostess. It's been years since she was releasing photobooks and gracing ...
Not content with launching a porn career on the Muteki label as Momona Kito and already doing one "hair nude" (full frontal) photo shoot, Momona Kito is back with another very nice set of images to tickle our Golden Week vibe.
Formerly of the AKB48 spin-off group SKE48, Momona Kito is just one of many ex-idols who have "graduated" to porn careers.
The Muteki label has snagged some of these and also recently managed to get the porn debut of gravure idol Shoko ...
