Not to be confused with the comedy-action movie starring Bruce Willis, Red, known as Shape of Red in English, came out earlier this year in Japan. The R15-rated film stars Satoshi Tsumabuki and Kaho. Based on a novel by the award-winning writer Rio Shimamoto, Shape of Red is an erotic story with several appropriately sensual scenes involving the leads. We particularly like the toe-licking scene. For a film about adultery and whose female director said is showing what women really want, the depiction of the affair is suitably focused on Kaho and not filtered through the male gaze that films ...

Last week we got a bit overly excited over the prospects of model Angelica Michibata (sister of Jessica) making a comeback (after a nasty scandal involving her husband) with a nude photo book. Sure, she had done semi-nude shoots before but this promised to be a full nude: nipples, breasts, and maybe even bush. The proof lies in the pudding, and so far the indications are good. We have found some more preview images from Michibata's photo book, Angelica, that comes out in early August from Futabasha. The photographer is Hajime Sawatari, a veteran of such nude shoots. The 35-year-old biracial ...

It's election season, which always brings out the weirdos all competing to be the next governor of Tokyo. On the same day, there are also by-elections in two of Tokyo's special wards and two other districts to select Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly representatives to make up for assembly members who are standing down for some reason. So far we have seen one candidate dressed in anime cosplay to promote his campaign. The same candidate, Teruki Goto, once had a poster that featured his half-naked body. The much-maligned Abenomasks -- Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's personally launched initiative that ...

We still remember when we first laid eyes on the Tenga Flip Hole. "Wait, what? There's no way my cock is going in that?" This was the inevitable initial response, which then swiftly changed when penetration was tried and very much enjoyed -- and such sex toys became a firm part of our lives thereafter. So the lesson is that a slightly futuristic or utilitarian design is not to be feared or mocked, and that sometimes these toys are the very best on the market. We recalled those early masturbation toys days recently when we were confronted by these Q-tai orb toys. At first glance, they are ...

As previously discussed on this blog before, hostesses and hosts have received much of the blame for the spread of the coronavirus in Japan, especially in Tokyo. The nightlife scene, particularly the seedier side in areas like Kabukicho, has found itself demonized by the authorities and media as the most obvious source of infection clusters. While we don't doubt that intimate encounters with prostitutes or long sessions in small hostess club booths does increase the risk of infection, we are very suspicious of the narrative that the media is pushing. Indeed, this week Tokyo announced 55 ...

We love a comeback, hence our interest in the apparently nude photo book by Angelica Michibata scheduled for release in August. We also love a jukujo, hence our interest in the comebacks by single mom Hiroko Sato and former Morning Musume Asuka Fukuda. So now there's Asami Kumakiri, whose summer-themed photo book "Bare Self" more or less lives up to the name. It's the first time in 16 years that the 40-year-old idol, a former member of the group Checkicco and (we understand) still unmarried, has released a photo book. It's not nude, and barely qualifies as semi-nude, but Asami does give us ...

We previously blogged about the explicit sex scenes in the film It Feels So Good (Kako no Futari) but came across better-quality images, so we wanted to showcase the film again. As readers may recall, It Feels So Good stars Kumi Takiuchi and is also known in English as Lovers at the Crater. It was released last year in Japan to great acclaim. Perhaps the best sex scene sees the two lovers start to have sex in a doorway, with the man penetrating Takiuchi from behind. They then continue on a bed, with her riding him and then sucking him off when he finishes. Another scene sees them lie in ...

The fashion model Angelica Michibata has rewarded very patient fans and admirers by showing off her nipples (and perhaps more) at long last. Michibata will release a new photo book, "Angelica," on August 7 that promises to be fully nude and showcase her stunning body. The shoot was done in a Tokyo studio in early June just after the state of emergency was lifted. The photographer is Hajime Sawatari, a veteran of nude shoots, and the publisher is another big name -- Futabasha. These are the initially announced preview images. The news has been greeted with glee by the mainstream ...

In these coronavirus times, Zoom has become an essential tool for life and work. But it has also led to some amusement, like when actor Yosuke Kubozuka recently got drunk during a live Zoom session with fans and fell asleep. People like to opt for virtual backgrounds to hide anything embarrassing that may appear on camera behind them, but what about something in front? And between their legs? NMB48's Chihiro Kawakami suffered this manner of misfortune when she gave fans much more than they were expecting during a Zoom session. Her skirt had hitched itself up so high while she sitting that ...

One of the many, many things we love about Tama Toys -- perhaps the most prolific brand in the Japanese adult toys industry -- is how it goes beyond the usual array of onaholes, lubes, and vibes. As fans will know, it has created several series of "Insert" dakimakura hug pillows with now dozens and dozens of covers featuring fantastic character art prints. It is also recently making original t-shirts, like these two awesome examples with ahegao or fellagao designs. We challenge you to wear these on the school run or your next grocery shopping trip. The industrious brand has even started ...
