Akiho Yoshizawa, one of the biggest names in Japanese adult video, has announced her retirement from porn at the age of 34 and literally hundreds of AV and softcore (pink) credits to her name.
After making her debut in AV in 2003, she has proven one of the most enduring stars in a tough and competitive industry.
Some are saying that her departure after a 15-year career is yet another poignant symbol that the Heisei era is drawing to a close with the changeover in emperors in May 2019.
Yoshizawa announced her "graduation" on October 1st on her personal blog, setting the official ...
Imagine snuggling up to a hot Japanese gravure idol and enjoying an intimate chat in bed together before you sleep.
Famous for her impressive bust, the gravure idol Asuka Kishi provides a glimpse into her bedroom manner with a new YouTube video.
The first in a projected new series called, somewhat inexplicably, Academic Pillow Talk, the video is many, many minutes of Asuka talking in Japanese to the camera (i.e., you) about how much she loves yaki-niku (Korean BBQ). The "conversation" meanders along quietly for the duration of the video, all the time Asuka Kishi lying them in her ...
After making her adult video debut in the spring and immediately attracting our attention, new star Saika Kawakita continues to impress and cement her rising career. She has released several AV over the summer and is already on to her sixth title! That's quite a busy few months.
Her latest in this 180-minute epic (SSNI00309), released in mid-September from S1 No.1 Style, that claims to document Kawakita's "greatest orgasm." We're not sure of the veracity of such a marketing claim, but Saika-chan seems to have a grand time nonetheless -- as these preview images ...
Tenga continues to proceed at full steam with developing its stunning line of designer Iroha vibrators.
After opening a special girl-friendly pop-up in a department store in the summer, the latest stage in its female adult toy revolution is the chic, modern, yet simultaneously classic-looking Tenga Iroha Pleasure Item Rin.
This is a mini series of two vibes in different colours: the Rin Hanakogane in gold and the Rin Takeakane in red. These are stick-shaped vibrators beautifully designed with an orb-like tip.
If a stick sounds too unwieldily to handle, rest assured it is ...
Tokyo Game Show 2018 concluded on September 23rd after four days of the usual booth babes and sexiness -- oh, and a few cars.
We weren't able to make it in person, being too busy testing and writing about adult toys, but we saw some great pictures of a Japanese cosplayer showing off her cute, striped panties to the crowds.
We're not sure if this has anything to do with the automobile industry, or whether it needs to, but the results have proven a hit with netizens in Japan -- and for obvious reasons.
The slinky, provocative cosplayer in question is Miyu Inamori (稲森美優), ...
It's been a while since our last roundup of exciting adult toys coming out in Japan via our friends at Kanojo Toys. That's not because there haven't been any exciting toys. Quite the opposite; there have been so many we have been writing them up individually to them justice.
We already have more on the near horizon but here is a handful of other great toys we spotted recently, all available for shipping globally from the good folk at Kanojo Toys in Tokyo.

Former news presenter and anchor Shiori Usui, who had appeared on the TBS Tohoku Broadcasting channel, has opted for a different career move altogether by posing for an alluring lingerie shoot.
The gravure shoot was published in weekly tabloid magazine recently and revels in her middle-class looks and allure (you can imagine taking this lady home to meet your folks), combined with the more raw sexiness of the lingerie (and swimsuit) that shows off her toned yet slender body.
Born in 1990, Shiori Usui is a graduate of Tokyo's prestigious Hosei ...
We've often pondered the question of the Japanese butt. We've showcased fine examples of gravure and AV idols' asses not once, but twice. And we took note when Japanese television previously introduced the woman possibly with the best butt in Japan.
Now Ariyoshi Japan, a TV show on TBS, has done a feature on women striving for that perfect butt. Naturally we took a close interest.
The show included footage of rehearsals for a Cyberjapan-style troupe of ladies, toning and honing their fine legs and buttocks. Cue shot after shot of squatting voluptuous asses, naked except for a few flimsy ...
Feeling lonely as the autumn season begins? Don't worry. The VR Kareshi is a virtual Japanese boyfriend for ladies in need of some tender attention from a constant companion.
Virtual girlfriends (and boyfriends) are nothing new. Over the years, we've seeen plenty of dating sims apps and video games, from the relatively innocent to the outright erotic.
The twist here is that the technology for this otome romance game is now virtual reality.
But even this isn't actual new per se. Indeed, the same makers, IVR, have already released the VR Kanojo, which is far more explicit and, as ...
