What is it about (certain) Japanese guys that seemingly makes them want to dress up as girls at any opportunity?
The music video for Gen Hoshino's latest single, Family Song, casts "him" in drag while only the other day we blogged about the deceptively feminine charms of one male high schooler?
Okay, Kabuki, lack of Victorian-era binaries, yada yada. Let's not try to come up with an anthropological mumbo jumbo answer for this. But it begs the question: are we witnessing an exciting surge in agender identity in Japan? From clothes to toilets, genderlessness is definitely growing in ...
Kazuhito Kosaka, aka Daimaou Kosaka, aka Piko Taro, the comedian best known for his viral hit "Pen Pineapple Apple Pen", has married his secret long-time girlfriend.
And the lucky lady is none other than... gravure idol Hitomi Yasueda!
This is not a joke. The busty model (and former race queen) with a delightful butt has been dating Kosaka for four years, after they appeared together on a TV show in May 2013 and long before he hit the big time as his Piko Taro character.
They got married on August 3rd. To be honest, when we read this news we assumed it was a very mistimed ...
Japanese nunsploitation exists -- and it's out there waiting for you on YouTube.
Ayami Takei is an aspiring YouTuber who had attracted viral attention with a video certain to be taken down by YouTube in the very near future.
In it, Takei starts off in a nun costume and then shows off her newly shaven head (unlike certain idols, not done as a sign of penitence). Only she hasn't stopped there: she has also completely shaved her pussy and proudly displays her paipan to the camera.
Her video, titled "Flesh and Blood," has already racked up tens of thousands of views, and there are other ...
We recently read a report in the Asahi Shimbun about the adult video scouts who operate on the streets of Tokyo, searching for the next porn talent to come walking by. If you've ever wondered how a lot of the women, especially the anonymous stars of AV with large casts, get into their jobs, it's often because they are aggressively scouted (many are also "persuaded" to move into porn from careers in modeling, gravure and hostessing). The result is an industry with an almost literally countless number of women working in it as performers at various levels.
The article was an interview with a ...
So you've seen the mega hit Makoto Shinkai anime Your Name.. Perhaps you've also seen it again in its recently released DVD form. Maybe you've even tried out the parody onahole toy.
But have you seen the Your Name. parody adult video?
Released in late June, Kimi no nawa. is the latest example of Japanese AV's penchant for parody. Previous eyebrow-raising examples of parody porn include Ultraman, wailing politician Ryutaro Nonomura, and comedienne Buruzon Chiemi (Blouson Chiemi).
It starts with the name. The 129-minute porn directed by Any Nakamura for Real Works cleverly uses a different ...
It's an open secret that Arashi idol group Jun Matsumoto is dating actress Mao Inoue, though their respective agencies prevent them from getting married.
But that's not all. Matsumoto is also alleged to have had an affair for several years with someone else -- none other than porn star Tsukasa Aoi.
The scandal was exposed by a tabloid at the end of last year after Aoi was spotted entering and leaving Matsumoto's apartment building.
Matsumoto apparently treated Aoi as his "sex slave". Inoue also stopped working for a while, possibly related to the scandal.
But Arashi is a ...
The Korean single, actress, and model Sulli (aka Choi Jin-ri) was once a member of the idol music group f(x) from 2009 to 2015.
The 23-year-old has also been venturing into acting of late. Her big breakthrough probably should have been the recent action noir film Real, though it wasn't such a hit. Released earlier this summer, the Lee Sa-rang film stars Kim Soo-hyun as a man operating in a strange underworld city.
Shot with a stunning color palette, the film seems to have been somewhat derided by critics and audiences alike.
We have only seen short clips from the film and what we saw of ...
As if the Flip Zero, Tenga's awesome update of the pioneering Flip Hole released last year, wasn't enough, the Apple of the Japanese adult industry has come up with a way to improve its bestselling toy.
The Tenga Flip Zero Electronic Vibration, which is out in August, is a designer vibrating masturbation toy. Like with the original Flip Zero, there is an exterior pressure pad along the body to enhance the vacuum sensation. It also still splits open so you can really clean and then dry it out fully -- since Tenga knows how important good maintenance is for pleasure.
What's special about ...
This cute Japanese high school girl has gone viral, but not for the reasons you might think.
It's because "she" is not a "she" in the conventional sense of the term.
Like Shiseido did before him, @ginsyamu has managed to fool a lot of people into thinking he is a member of the fairer sex.
The 15-year-old young lad has amassed thousands of followers on social media with his uncanny ability to bend genders and strike convincingly feminine poses. Would this young lady have fooled you?
It's not just the hair or makeup (including mascara, lipstick and eyeliner) but ...
For reasons that obviously don't need stating, the curvy Mitsu Dan has inspired her fair level of male attention these past few years. Now she's attracted the attention of Miyagi Prefecture, which hired her to appear in a tourism video. If that sounds pretty random, it's because it unashamedly is.
The nude model and jukujo actress not afraid to shed her clothes on camera spends the 2:30-minute video clad in a kimono and talking very suggestively to a regional mascot and flying turtle.
"Does it feel good?" "Can I ride you?" These are just a couple of the phrases the 36-year-old Dan ...
