She promised. She delivered. Formerly of AKB48, Yuka Masuda left the group in 2012 over a sex scandal. She then tried to make a gravure comeback with limited impact but has continued to work as an actor and a singer. This time, she has definitely made a lasting impression. In the second episode of the new season of Netflix drama The Naked Director, which explores the Japanese porn industry in the 1980s through the story of legendary producer Toru Muranishi, 29-year-old Masuda does some great sex scenes with nudity. (If you're pressed for time, skip to the 8-minute and 20-minute marks of ...

We were already excited about the upcoming second season of the Netflix Japanese drama The Naked Director because of the pedigree of the first season, which lived up to its promise of the porn industry premise and then some with awesome nudity and sex scenes galore. Then came news that the singer Mariya Nishiuchi had been cast as a porn star, offering the tantalizing prospect that she would make her nude debut in the series, which deals with the career of legendary adult video director and producer Toru Muranishi. Now comes a trailer and we are delighted to see former AKB48 idol Yuka Masuda ...

People outside Japan have a bad tendency to associate local cuisine exclusively with sushi, which is just plain wrong. But fish loom large, of course -- even in gravure. Gradol Shihomi Yoshino likes to kinky with raw fish, as we have previously documented on this blog. If you want to see a naked Japanese woman "dressed" in uncooked fish, then she's the one for you. After all, it's a crowded industry and every idol needs a gimmick to help them stand out. Yoshino describes herself as "between gravure and angling" and she prefers to use dried fish in her work. She's at it again, this time ...

Netflix continues to invest in ambitious and provocative Japanese dramas and take content risks no mainstream broadcaster in the country would dare. After its wild success with the suitably nude bonanza that was The Naked Director, now comes the lesbian road movie Ride or Die, starring Kiko Mizuhara and Honami Sato, and released by Netflix on April 15. Its nude scenes are probably the most anticipated in Japan so far this year. There is some impressive girl-on-girl action in the movie, where you get to see quite a lot of Kiko's and Honami's naked breasts and backs as they explore each ...

If you've watched the Japanese Netflix drama Alice in Borderland, you will have admired the lead actress, Tao Tsuchiya. The 25-year-old is a real cutie and the series should hopefully increase her international profile. We were also pleased to see in some of the more erotic scenes in the series. In one scene, her naked, athletic stomach gets lingeringly licked by a man, which was nice to watch, though he then proceeds to rape her, which we did not enjoy watching. The scene hints that it will show us her breasts but then holds back, meaning Tao Tsuchiya, who is also a talented dancer, has ...

When Ken Shimura passed away earlier this year from complications due to the coronavirus, many groped for ways to described the death of such a major figure in popular culture. "The Japanese Robin Williams" was about the best anyone could come up with. Some platitudes aside, we also remember how risqué Shimura's comedy shows were. Feminists are (rightly) shocked when they look at clips that are not from the distant past, but just a few years ago. Nude or scantily clad women appear on the show for the sole purpose of gags. We wanted to share one particular highlight from his show in which ...

It has been a somewhat peculiar November in Tokyo. The annual changing of the leaves has duly appeared, transforming the trees around the city and creating piles of crisp leaves to jump in. It has also been unseasonably hot on some days, almost like an Indian summer. And it has been windy, with blustery days sending the fallen leaves into swirls in the air. All very Instagrammable, yes, but so what? Well, we spotted this unfortunate side effect of the windy days. A TV presenter on Fuji TV's show Mezamashi TV was giving a live report on the weather when the wind blow hard against her. ...

It's a crown that has been claimed before and we always feel obliged to award the title to voluptuous gradol Yuka Kuramochi, but there's now yet another contender for the best ass in Japan. Recently showcased on Japanese TV (because apparently audiences like this kind of content!) and known for her fitness videos, Khaleda Amin could cut glass with her toned body. And then when she starts posing with her buttocks, you can hear a pin drop in the minds of every male viewer in the land... This is the ass we need in these gloomy COVID times. Perhaps inevitably, the ...

In an episode of the Japanese TV drama Bokura wa koi ga heta sugiru (We're Too Bad at Romance, 僕らは恋がヘタすぎる), gravure idol Nana Asakawa (浅川梨奈) is shown riding her male lover cowgirl in a sex scene. They kiss and undress on a sofa inside a hotel room. The 21-year-old Nana is wearing a sensual red bra that keeps her best assets under wraps. They then move over to the bed, where Nana rides the lucky man. Bokura wa koi ga heta sugiru is broadcast domestically on Asahi TV and stars Umika Kawashima and Jin Shirasu in the lead roles. There is no actual ...

There's a lot of excitement swirling around since the announcement that the singer and model Mariya Nishiuchi would be appearing in the upcoming second season of the hit Netflix drama The Naked Director. The drama charts the career of Japanese adult video impresario Toru Muranishi, whose ambitious productions revolutionized the industry in the 1980s and 1990s. Nishiuchi will apparently play Mariko Itsuki (樹まり子), a busty stunner who notched up dozens of credits in porn releases in the late 1980s and early 1990s as well as several photo books. Now the question is: How much will ...
