On the troubled Japanese Netflix reality show Terrace House, which faces possible cancellation after one of its stars took her life following online bullying, the gravure model Yume Hayashi recently made quite a personal confession.
Much of the appeal of the show hinges on watching young people with emerging careers as models and so on hook up. Accordingly, Hayashi has attracted the attention of both male viewers and an occupant of the house.
Hokkaido-born, 24-year-old Yume Hayashi is well known for her sporty body. She goes by the name Yume Yoshida on the show, despite (or perhaps ...
It seems that during lockdown, even Japanese television producers are getting desperate for ideas.
The popular TV show Ariyoshi Hanseikai recently featured the gravure idol (gradol) Mai Arakawa (荒川真衣).
She appeared semi-nude for a sequence. Nothing new about this, which is often how gradols appear on TV in Japan.
Except that Mai Arakawa is known for her love of eating insects -- something she shares with the world in her YouTube videos -- and her penchant for all things creepy and crawly was showcased to a certain extent by having her pose with beetles on her buttocks and garter ...
We've been using the semi-lockdown here in Tokyo to catch up on various TV series saved on our watch list for too long.
And so we finally found time to watch the BBC/Netflix drama Giri/Haji (literally, Duty/Shame), whose storyline has a connection with Japan and stars various Japanese actors.
The show, which was first shown in the UK in late 2019 and made available on Netflix in America in early 2020, is pretty good, though our prime reason for sharing it with our readers is, of course, the nudity.
There is an OK sex scene with the actress Anna Sawai (澤井杏奈), where you get to see ...
Ayaka Miyoshi is one of the most beautiful models and celebrities in Japan.
And Japanese television viewers recently had their minds taken off the coronavirus anxieties by seeing what Ayaka Miyoshi looks like when she takes a bath.
Admittedly the 23-year-old cutie was wrapped in a tight towel, as is customary when people demonstrate public baths or hot springs on television, but it was still a sight for sore eyes.
Even better, the sauna water being particularly hot, Ayaka Miyoshi had to get out quickly -- and netizens have been subsequently parsing the footage for the slightly glimpse of a ...
A new Japanese show on Netflix, Followers, created by Mika Ninagawa, features a lesbian sex scene between Elaiza Ikeda and KOM_I. (Update: sharp-eyed readers have helped us determine that the actress in the scene is not Elaiza Ikeda, though we are still keen to figure out who it is. Please see the comments for more.)
Let's not get too excited about this. After all, Filipino-Japanese actress Elaiza Ikeda has done some sexy scenes before, as we once blogged about. Here she is looking busty in Sion Sono's The Virgin Psychics (based on the manga Minna! Esper Dayo!) from ...
Former child actor Chiho Fujii (藤井千帆) is cementing her entry into the adult mainstream with a role in High Position, the late-night drama on TV Tokyo, which includes a nice sex scene.
This being tame realm of regular Japanese television (i.e., not a streaming channel), there is no actual nudity, of course, but viewers get to see what Chiho might look and act like between the sheets.
The 24-year-old is shown licking her lips clean, presumably after giving a man a blow job and swallowing his cum, and then getting head from her male partner under the cover.
There's also a nice shot of ...
When you are a celebrity in Japan, your body is fair game for TV show commentators. In fact, they may well pull up a photo while you are on the air and spend minutes parsing its details with you. Even to the extent of zooming in on the body parts for glimpses of nudity.
Model and announcer Minami Tanaka is about to release her debut photo book. As part of the promotion, she has launched an Instagram account to fevered expectation.
But perhaps she got more than she bargained for when she appeared on TV and the host ended up trying to see if he could spot her nipple in a particular photo. Now ...
If a job needs doing, hire a professional.
And that's what the makers of the The Naked Director did.
For a drama series about the adult video pioneer Toru Muranishi, you need to include plenty of sex on camera.
We've already looked at the nude scenes in the Netflix series by the likes of newcomer Misato Morita, gravure idol Ruri Shinato, and former AKB48 Ami Tomite, among others. The makers even threw in a sex scene with a non-Japanese actress, Jade Albany Pietrantonio.
But for a truly realistic result, you need actual porn stars. And so the producers sensibly hired Nanami Kawakami ...
In her latest TV drama series role, busty gravure model Fumika Baba is shown in an AKB48 cosplay costume being sexually assaulted.
In Na mo naki Fukusha Zegen (Nameless Revenger Zegen, 名もなき復讐者 ZEGEN), Baba plays a prostitute who gives sensual massages to her clients before sex. One session when she is dressed up like an AKB48 idol is rougher than expected and she is raped by the client.
While that is certainly rougher sex than the kind we usually like to watch, there's no denying that Fumika looks great in an AKB48 costume.
Based on a novel, the TV series is ...
We have continued to follow the nudity and sex scenes on display in the Netflix Japanese-language serial The Naked Director, which charts the incredible career of Japanese porn giant Toru Muranishi.
Following our look at the nude sex scenes by gravure idol Ruri Shinato and actress Ami Tomite, we will focus this time on the nudity by Misato Morita.
The lesser-known yet beautiful 22-year-old actress Misato Morita (森田望智) plays Kaoru Kuroki, the eventual AV superstar.
In one episode early on, we see what she looks like masturbating in the shower. The scene also includes a realistic ...
