Is this the future of kissing between couples in the age of the coronavirus?
A playful picture recently shared on Twitter by the idol and mangaka Rin Kaname (of Dempagumi.inc) hints at what kissing might become if things don't improve some day soonish.
The photo shows two people -- in this case, two attractive Japanese women in their underwear -- kissing through a see-through plastic wall. The image is captioned "social distance kiss." One of the women is, we presume, Kaname herself, though please help us out if you can identify either of them more accurately.
The image was posted by ...
We are avoiding beaches and public pools right now, given the ongoing coronavirus infection rate, but that doesn't mean we aren't thinking about swimsuits.
Far from it, they are one of the highlights of any summer in Japan.
And to show just how far things have come, we wanted to share with you an image from 1966 (Showa 41), which we spotted shared on Twitter.
It's an advertisement for "beach-ready" ladies in their colorful swimsuits. "Which is your pattern?" the main copy asks.
All the women model different styles of swimwear, each aimed at a respective kind of personality (from the ...
Is there anything more attractive than a smart, older woman?
Born in 1984, Yukari Oshima (大島由香里) is a former Fuji TV announcer who is now a freelance presenter. Adding some more to her résumé, she is now making a late transition into gravure with this semi-nude shoot that shows off her beautiful, kissable back in particular.
Here are some factoids about Yukari that may or may not make her even more attractive: she's 36 (a ripe jukujo!), divorced, and a mother.
This is, as far as we know, her first proper gravure-style shoot.
The most successful recent example ...
A Japanese TV show asked a man what he thought about gravure photo shoots. Nothing strange about this, perhaps, but the details are more unusual.
This man may look like a regular white-collar worker but his younger sisters are anything but: they are gravure idols and he was shown images from their provocative shoots.
The ladies in question are Tomoe Yamanaka (山中知恵) and Mayumi Yamanaka (山中真由美).
The brother laughs uncomfortably. "Yeah, I have mixed feelings about that."
To our shame, we did not know that Tomoe Yamanaka and Mayumi Yamanaka were sisters, though now ...
Former AKB48 idol Natsumi Hirajima is well known and adored for her curvy body, which she has shown off to the world on many occasions.
In her latest provocative tactic, Natsumi (Nacchan) has demonstrated a range of different bras on her new YouTube channel.
In the nearly 16-minute video, Nacchan describes the experience of wearing the various bras, along with showing us how she looks in them. Don't be shy about skipping ahead to the juicy parts.
At the time of writing, the video has almost 30,000 views after just a couple of days.
With large parts of the idol and ...
Just as the second wave was beginning to hit Tokyo late last month, the country entered a four-day weekend that was originally intended to mark the triumphant start of the Olympics in the capital.
Things were not as they were meant to be and the holiday was subdued.
Netizens, though, found plenty of entertain themselves by finding TV news interviews with women on the streets of Tokyo about the need for self-restraint during the long holiday weekend.
Naturally, they were pleased to see how busty these interviewees were. You don't have to be a cynic to wonder if the news people deliberately ...
Tama Toys is never content with just making adult toys, it seems. The industrious and reliable brand continues to innovate and push its lineup beyond the conventional bounds of sex toys, encompassing even towels and books.
After reporting last week on its great recent selection of adult face masks, we wanted to introduce some of its T-shirts.
The most obvious, yet discreet, choices are the T-shirts that are branded with Tama Toys logos. Of course, only those in the know will recognize what you are wearing, so walk down the street with your head held high.
Japanese adult video fans will ...
At the end of last year, we reported on a nude photo book by Aya Hazuki. Though nominally naked, Hazuki stopped short of actual nudity by carefully posed dressing gowns and tape.
Aya Hazuki is not to be confused with Tsubasa Hazuki (葉月つばさ), who has a similar name but is younger.
The other Hazuki has taken things further with her latest shoot, where we finally get to see what she's been keeping under wraps (to be fair, at times barely) throughout her photo shoots so far.
While her generous bust remains hidden, the slinky 22-year-old's cute butt is on fully display. We prefer a bit ...
Sara Kamiki (神木サラ) is still only 20 years old but has already dropped her robe for a nude shoot, even though her first official gravure shoot was only published in June this year.
While some gradols wait a while before taking the plunge, sometimes only resorting to it when other options dry up, Kamiki has no such qualms -- even stripping off for her debut gravure shoot in the magazine Flash.
She has posed for an explosive (as in bakunyu "explosive breasts") nude photo shoot where she shows off her incredible breasts and nipples (an I cup, apparently!) and curvy ...
In a bid to contain the second wave of the coronavirus around Japan, people are now being encouraged to have "online nomikai" (drinking parties) rather than meeting in person for food and booze at the usual izakaya or restaurant.
Thankfully, technology now makes this possible, though the idea has a fatal flaw. One of the major appeals of a nomikai is that it gives you the chance to hook up with that friend of a friend who tags along, or that cutie at the next table. Zoom is great but it removes that from the equation, hence dating will really suffer in these coronavirus times.
How can you ...
