Aya Omasa and Mariko Shinoda are shown smooching in the recently broadcast third episode of the NHK television drama series Mistresses. The lingering lesbian kiss scene apparently lasted 40 seconds. Fans were on hand to count them all. Mariko seduces Aya by stroking her face and going in for the kiss. Aya then reciprocates passionately. It's pure bliss to watch. The series (a remake of a British show from the late 2000s) also stars hot jukujo actresses Kyoko Hasegawa and Miki Mizuno as well as Hyunri and gravure model Miwako Kakei. Fans of Aya Omasa are surely already ...

Girlfriend and boyfriend "rental" services are one of those "wacky Japan" narrative favorites, though they do actually exist. They are also not as crazy or sleazy as they might sound -- after all, if you want someone to date and then sleep with, there are countless prostitution services or "compensated dating" clubs out there. So what's different about this kind of rental service? What do you get for your money? Asian Boss, the awesome YouTube channel behind interviews with porn stars Emiri Okazaki and Taka Kato, tried out one service to demonstrate what it is like. Host (and handsome ...

The Reiwa era has got off to a bang in some ways. For starters, the popular gravure idol and actress Mai Hakase announced her marriage. The documents were submitted to a ward office in Tokyo on May 1st, the inaugural day of the new Reiwa era. They have been dating for just ten months, which will surely lead to speculation that 32-year-old Mai is pregnant, though nothing of the sort has been announced. The man is apparently a doctor and three years older than the G-cup goddess. Congratulations, Mai, though we can't help but feel sad that someone got to you before us! Continuing this ...

It's May 1st, the inaugural day of the new Reiwa era. And what better time to take a gander at some old porn from this cache of images recently shared online? Strictly speaking, we reckon these adult magazines come from the Showa period, which ended in 1989, rather than the past three decades of Heisei, but there might be some overlap. Online searches seem to reveal nothing, so they are probably quite obscure. We just love the titles: from "Visual Communication Magazine for Young Adalt" (sic) and "Fucky-up" (sic) to "Rape me" and "Sexual Les Girls." The shoots themselves range from the ...

Today is the final day of Heisei. As the emperor abdicates this afternoon, we are remembering the past three decades and all those lovely ladies that have passed through our lives (in actuality or through the lens of gravure and adult video). We should put together a proper "adult Heisei" post soon but it might be too mammoth an undertaking. In the meantime, we are recalling recent good times and looking forward to the future with these two ladies. The dancer and model Karen Kimijima has made a comeback since her drug arrest in early 2018, which is a very fine thing because she has frankly ...

The Japanese adult industry loves to be topical, hence the large number of up-to-date parodies you can see in both porn and toys. That being said, we haven't so far seen anything notable about the imminent end of the Heisei period and the start of the Reiwa era on May 1st. Perhaps we just haven't looked hard enough. Please share in the comments any ones you have spotted. Either way, we did find this great (and useful) example: the Heisei and Reiwa Lubricants. As the name suggests, these recently released lubes from top adult manufacturer SSI are inspired by the two Japanese era names. ...

We stumbled upon this great Twitter feed detailing a report by Shinbunka, the publishing industry trade journal in Japan, about the decline of the much-loved porn magazine vending machine. It also cites from an interview with the photographer Tetsuya Kurosawa, who has documented the vending machines (visiting some 500 locations along the way!). It's true, we haven't seen one for many a moon. Here's why. At the peak of the adult vending machine boom, there were some 50,000 machines nationwide in the 1970s. That lofty number has been reduced to a mere fraction now. What are left are often ...

As we prepare for the extended Golden Week holiday in Japan from this weekend, we're naturally looking around for adult video content to keep us entertained. We spotted a porn debutant who really should be on everyone's to-watch list. Rena Kuroi (くろいれな) released her first AV from Kuki on April 2nd. "Hatsuhana" (ADZ327) is meant to be one of just two AVs that the 22-year-old Rena will make. According to her official profile, she lives in Kamakura and is an "Earthling," which is reassuring (though alien sex is a whole other subgenre of JAV). Her second (and potentially final) AV ...

Fans of the former Doll Elements music idol Rika Tonosaki are in for a treat, because the cutie has stripped naked for her latest photo shoot. The photo shoot is only a "semi-nude" one, so you can see plenty of bare flesh like Rika's back and side boob but her buttocks is as far as she goes in terms of actual nudity... for now, at least. The 27-year-old, D-cup Rika Tonosaki was a member of Doll Elements from 2011 until the group disbanded in January 2017. She released her debut photo book in late 2016 as well as a couple of image videos. She is now hoping to expand her post-Doll Elements ...

After doing a "hair nude" full-frontal shoot last year, we wondered where the gravure idol and actress Bambi Watanabe would go next. It seems she went to TV Tokyo and for a visually tame but nonetheless sensual sex scene in a late-night drama series. In episode two of Kabukicho Bengonin Rinka (Kabukicho Attorney Rinka), which is about a female lawyer working among hostesses, Bambi is show stripping off in a love hotel room to reveal her largest chest, albeit hidden within a bra or under her arms. An old dude looks on with obvious interest. He then has sex with her, even though she is ...
