We reported earlier this year about the AV debut of actress and model Anri Sakaguchi.
To appear in "What a day!!" the 25-year-old Sakaguchi (now going by just "Anri") is reportedly getting paid ¥120 million -- a suspiciously high figure considering she is a B-list celebrity.
She made her JAV debut on the Muteki label, which specializes in these kinds of career switchovers from gravure, music idol or mainstream entertainment. Past successes include with Yua Mikami/Momona Kito and Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki.
Most of these stars, though, do one or just a small number AV releases before ...
Tenga has produced a new commercial for its Iroha vibrator series.
DJ and model Culumi Nakada (Kurumi Nakata) stars in the ad, which specifically features the sleek black Yorukujira ("night whale") vibe from the Iroha Plus line.
It shows a "typical" Sunday for a Japanese girl, relaxing at home with a long bath and then enjoying a solo session with her personal Tenga Iroha.
It claims that using a vibrator like the Iroha will release "brain waves" and help make you think better after your tension is released. Tenga actually teamed up with a neuroscientist to measure brain activity after ...
Japanese TV is not known for its quality but it at least never fails to impress with its latest nude novelties or risque antics.
Now a TV show has appeared featuring gravure idols wearing sexy bikinis. Nothing new about that. There are even shows about gravure idol in armor.
But these are "failed" gravure idols, ladies who haven't made it big (yet). The idea is that the minor idols make their last grasp at fame on the show, wearing everything from noren (the low curtains that hang over entrances in Japan) to toilet paper, kagami mochi (a New Year decorative rice cake) or even lids of ...
Sendy Ariani, an idol from JKT48, the Jakarta-based sister group spin-off from AKB48, was fired in November for "inappropriate" actions. As usual, AKS did not elaborate and kept the scandal shrouded in ambiguity, though it hardly takes a genius to spot the clues.
That was back in November. A few weeks later, some of the truth is coming out -- namely in the form of leaked sex photos and a video allegedly showing Sendy Ariani enjoying herself with a male partner.
It looks quite a like her, but we can't confirm these are real so let us know what you ...
Remember Hikaru Toda?
She's the filmmaker who produced a documentary about love hotels we featured in 2014.
Now the Osaka- and London-based Toda (who has lived abroad for over 20 years) and her production studio, Little Stranger Films, is working on a documentary, Of Love & Law, about Japan's first LGBT law firm.
She has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to raise $30,000 to finish the project.
This is a documentary for anyone that has ever found themselves challenging or being challenged by the status quo.
Of Love & Law tells the hidden stories of people who ...
Don't think too much about what you are going to get your friends and relatives this Christmas? Worry about how you are going to sate those desires of yours and your partner(s).
Forget the bad TV or customary meals. We spend much of the holiday season looking forward to getting into a warm bed and releasing all our energies in the best possible way.
So here's our ultimate adult Christmas (sexmas!) guide to help you do the same.
Our partner shop Kanojo Toys has selected a few products for couples, men, and women, plus some examples of their awesome fetish items.
And if this is ...
The immensely successful "Futomomo" girls' thighs fetish photography series is back.
After its previous incarnations in Tokyo attracted over 20,000 visitors, "World of Thighs" returns to Todays Gallery Studio in Asakusabashi from December 16th to January 22nd (closed December 31st to January 4th).
This time there is a "hot spring" (onsen) theme. (Springs are traditionally very erotic in Japan.)
It's not hard to see why this exhibition has pulled in the punters.
As always, all the photographs by Yuria feature Japanese girls' slender legs. ...
The Japanese porn industry is in trouble.
While we might spend much of our time on this blog singing its praises, the truth is this has been a bad year, full of accusations of coercion and trafficking of female performers.
We always knew it went on, especially towards the bottom end of the industry. Needless to say, the links between organized crime in Japan and other sections of society, such as big business, politics and mainstream entertainment, are well documented, and the idol and porn scenes are similarly connected.
These are social problems, though. What about financial ...
At the Japan Adult Expo 2016 on November 10th-11th, around 4,000 people attended, including many Japanese AV fans from other parts of Asia.
Held for the third time, the event features 200 AV makers and studios, and offers a great opportunity for fans to get close to their adult idols.
At the booth for Aroma Kikaku, which specializes in fetishes, Hibiki Otsuki was there to welcome fans.
KMP had the likes of Ayaka Tomoda and friends were on hand to pose for pictures.
Echoing the biggest adult trend of the year, Total Media Agency (TMA) -- despite the name, it's ...
Last year we wrote breathlessly about Cyberjapan Dancers, Tokyo's hottest go-go dancers.
We are very happy to report that the group has gone from strength to strength, continuing to make appearances in the media and accrue fame. And with bodies like theirs, it's not really very hard to see why these ladies are attracting attention.
2016 has been a bumper year for the roughly 25 girls who make up the Cyberjapan Dancers. They have been releasing DVDs, appearing in commercials, and performing at major nightclubs in Tokyo and elsewhere. They currently have well over 500,000 fans on ...
