There's been a lot of political tension over the last two years between Korea and Japan. Territorial disputes. Yasukuni Shrine. Comfort women.
But when all's said and done, there's one great unifier: sex.
Korea does not have a very vibrant porn industry and Korean men look to JAV to fill their needs.
"Yadong" means a porn video you watch online or on your computer. Whatever they think about certain rocks in the sea between Japan and the peninsula, almost all men in Korea love Japanese anime and Japanese porn.
Due to local restrictions you don't have the major porn makers in ...
Ex-AKB48 member and now prolific model Kaoru Mitsumune has made a shocking annoucement.
Despite being one of the cutest of Japanese girls with boyish haircuts active at the moment, she claims she has never had a boyfriend.
While that wouldn't shock us for an AKB48 member, given that the girls in the group are banned from having sex or relationships (except of course with the AKB management).
However, she left the mega idol group in 2012. Since she must meet a lot of people in her work and with her fame and looks, must surely have guys lining up to get more personal, can she ...
Our lavish lady this fine summery week is Mari Hasumi (蓮見茉莉). Unlike most of the girls we feature on our regular Idol of the Week column Mari is not a Gravure model but a Japanese porn star. But as such, a lot of details about her remain cloaked in shadow.
Either way, her slinky body is more than enough to satisfy ...
Our scrumptious specimen this week is the slinky Gravure model Rei Toda (戸田れい).
Born in 1987, Rei is now approaching 30 and so, by extension, likely the end of her career, though she continues to release DVDs and even pop up in mainstream TV commercials sometimes.
Rei, we hope to see as much of you as we can! Keep on working even after you hit the bit ...

It's often the case the Japanese porn stars that are huge in China, Taiwan or Korea are not necessarily the biggest stars back home in Japan. Sora Aoi is one famous example -- a star at home but a mega-star abroad.
Yet it's rare for any gravure idol or porn star to make it big in Europe or America beyond the radar of hardcore Japanese or Yellow Fever fans.
But one lady is bucking the trend.
Marica Hase (or Marika Hase) (長谷真理香) made the leap over the waters to America in 2012 and hasn't looked back since. She appeared in Penthouse in January 2013 and now makes around 15 ...
Last week we went for the young, thin and slinky Rina Koike. Here's a different kind of Japanese beauty.
Our sumptuous specimen of Japanese femininity is Asami Sakanoue (坂ノ上 朝美). Born in 1988, she officially retired at the end of December. Along the way she tried her hand at being a Gravure idol, actress and TV presenter.
While sadly she never reached the heights of some of the other girls we have featured on these pages over the years, she is still in our humble opinions quite a special lady... for obvious ...
Our adorable girl this week is the young Rina Koike (小池里奈). Born in 1993, Rina is a nubile 20 years old and ripe for plucking.
A slender frame, a sweet face and a slinky butt... this is too much for us! Rina isn't much known outside of Gravure circles right now but we hope this will change with time.
She has done a bit of acting, though her talents tend to lie in looking alluring and innocent at the same time (such a Japanese ...
Our Gravure idol this week is Izumi Hinata. Born in 1990, the slinky Izumi Hinata (日向泉) also goes by the professional name Hazuki Aoi (蒼井葉月). (These kind of name changes are usually the result of changing agency.) Whatever you call her, she is super ...
Our slinky maiden this week is Ai Okawa (大川藍).
Ai Okawa was born in 1993 and is a gravure model and fashion model. She has modeled for lingerie brand Peach John, whose taste in Japanese girls we know is second to none in hotness.
She is a member of the idol group ...
