Former SKE48 idol Ruka Kitano has posed semi-nude for a series of lavishly shot pictures in her debut photo book
Released in Japan on September 11 and with a seaside and marine theme, Kitano's photo book is teasingly titled Want to Try Touching?.
Such semi-nude shoots and photo books have become common for the more adventurous music idols looking to boost their careers, but this one is especially sensual and revealing, with pretty much the whole of her body on display and her modesty only barely preserved by a crossed legs and crossed arms in the classic "hand bra" (tebura) ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
The actress and former idol Erina Nakazaki has appeared in what we think is her first nude scene.
Best known for her role in the Kamen Rider series, the 31-year-old appeared in Manji Reverse, which came out in Japan in May this year.
In the film, she rides a man as he lies helpless in his hospital bed. She is shown climbing on top, taking off her shirt and bra to reveal her breasts, while fucking him slowly in the cowgirl position, gradually getting faster and more turned on.
The film is about a love triangle between two men and a woman. It is yet another adaptation of Manji (aka ...

Female scammers pose as sex workers, terrorize men in Kabukicho
September 10, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
The tabloid Weekly Friday has reported on two scammers who are terrorizing unsuspecting men they pick up through dating and matchmaking apps.
The first is dubbed Glans Dash Yuri.
Yuri apparently agrees to meet guys on an app for compensated dating. She sets the fee as ¥20,000 and they meet somewhere like outside a fast food restaurant near Seibu Shinjuku Station, which is a short walk to the love hotels in Okubo-Kabukicho.
They go to a really basic love hotel with a small room, bed, and shower (these may not even be in a love hotel but just a "rental room" in a multi-tenant building). ...
High schoolers in Japan are kissing and having sex less

/ Tadashi Anahori
A survey has found that the number of high school students who have never kissed someone had increased.
The numbers of high schoolers with experience of kissing or sex is now around half of what it was in the early 2000s.
The Japanese Association for Sex Education's survey, which it carries out diligently every six years, investigates frequency of physical intimacy among high school students. The data sample was 12,562 students, including 4,321 high schoolers and 3,614 university students.
Only 22.8% of male high school students (roughly one in five) said they had kissed someone, which is ...
Korean TV show Queen Woo features great nude scenes
September 6, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
We are enjoying the current Korean TV show Queen Woo, which is available on Paramount+ internationally -- and quite steamy in places.
Don't be put off by the historical setting. This is a series with a modern sensibility, especially when it comes to portraying intimacy.
Oh Ha-nee, who also has several nude scenes in A Special Lady (2017), appears in a fairly explicit lesbian sex scenes with Jung Yoo-mi (Jung Yu-mi -- or is it Jeong Yu-mi? Sources seem confused over whether it is Jung or Jeong, who are different actresses but about the same age), who plays the queen's older ...
30% of Generation Z men think equality has gone too far
September 5, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Say the word "feminist" to a young Japanese guy and you may be surprised by the negative reaction you get. This is partly because the word in Japanese has a stronger connotation, implying what we might call a radical feminist in English.
Nonetheless, anti-feminist attitudes can be surprisingly ingrained.
And while we might ascribe this to the old geezers who run the country as the senior figures in the civil service and government, and as the board members and executives at major corporations, the one survey has found that a significant number of Generation Z men also have reservations ...

Weekly Playboy has collaborated with three of the hottest gravure idols of the moment for a lineup of T-shirts produced by sneaker brand KIKS TYO.
The resulting photo shoots are a kind of face-off between the trio. Who looks the best with sneakers hanging from their body?
Here's delightful Cocoro Toyoshima, available in pink or blue sneaker versions.
And here's comely Ina Enohara.
And finally, this is the lovely Yuzuha Hongo.
If you wanted to get your chance on the Cocoro Toyoshima T-shirts (available in white or black and various sizes), you're probably out of luck. ...
Yuka Kouri and Honami Sato’s intense sex scenes in Love Nonetheless
September 3, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Love Nonetheless is a 2022 Japanese movie that we have recently watched. The plot deals with the owner of a used bookstore and his relationship with a high school student.
It features a couple of nude sex scenes with the slinky Yuka Kouri, both times with the actress riding a lover in the cowgirl position. Beautiful.
Yuka Kouri is familiar to readers and viewers from her sexy appearances in the TV series Shogun earlier this year.
She has a body that looks great in lingerie.
Love Nonetheless also stars up-and-coming actress Yumi Kawai and the more established Honami Sato. The ...
Fumina Suzuki marks 15 years of gravure with new photo book
September 2, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Gravure idol Fumina Suzuki is marking 15 years of her career as a glamor model with a new photo book and a shoot that shows she's still got it.
Fly High comes out September 5 from Genkosha and revels in the busty gradol's gorgeous boobs and curves. She hasn't done anything new per se (don't expect nudity here!) but we love all the side boob and underboob on display.
This isn't a comeback because Fumina Suzuki (thankfully) never went away. She has continued to work in gravure (we loved her five-idol shoot with a postpartum Yuka Kuramochi) and her most recent photo book was also not ...
