It's been years since we last wrote about slinky Yumi Asahina. Once thought to have one of the best asses in gravure, she seemed to reach a career peak in the late 2010s with a stunning hair nude full-frontal shoot. There didn't seem much else for her to go, and so she continued to do more nude releases. Well, despite her absence from these digital pages, we now belatedly realize that she has been a busy bee, releasing over a dozen image videos since 2022 (with the most recent coming out just last month). She is now 32 -- ripe jukujo territory -- and less likely to get a spot in the ...

The casting couch is one of the biggest open secrets in the Japanese entertainment world. Abuse and sexual harassment of voice actors, fashion models, and gravure idols has recently gained a lot of attention. The general acting world is also very belatedly having a sort of MeToo moment with the exposure of male sex predators. The director Hideo Sakaki, for instance, has just been arrested for the fourth time. On the other hand, perhaps we still have some ways to go: the director of the new film adaptation of manga Sensei's Pious Lie sparked headlines when he said he rejected the lead ...

The actress Kokone Sasaki, perhaps best known for her willingness to do extensive nude sex scenes in her career and for her nude photo shoots, has announced her marriage. Sasaki is now 34 and shared the news with fans last week on social media that she has married fellow actor Yusuke Kano, who is 38. Sasaki's nude sex scenes include the sexploitation film Call Boy (2018), porn star Mana Sakura's The Lowlife (2017), and Hello, My Dolly Girlfriend (2013), in which she plays a female mannequin who comes to life and which also starred Mitsu Dan and Yuki Mamiya -- two other Japanese actresses ...

This story has been bubbling away for a few days and it's finally time to write it up here. The former figure skater Miki Ando has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with her 16-year-old male protégé after a tabloid snapped them out together on a date. The 36-year-old Ando, a two-time former world champion, famously left the figure skating world in the early 2010s to raise her child as a single mom and, despite intense media speculation, never named the father. (It is rumored to be a foreign skater or coach.) Bunshun published allegations on June 26 that Ando was ...

There was a wondrous time back in the 1990s and early 2000s when the hair nude (full-frontal nude shoot) was commonplace. Hardly a week went by without another female celebrity shedding her clothes and trying to get in on the action, from newbies to more established stars, all trying to emulate the incredible success of photo books like Santa Fe with Rie Miyazawa. Today, though adult video stars of course commonly do hair nude shoots, the genre has faded and it's very rare for models and actresses, much less big mainstream stars, to do a hair nude. Which is why we are so pleased when we do ...

Yesterday, we wrote about the backlash Yua Mikami has faced as she tries to move beyond her former porn career and establish herself as a mainstream fashion brand producer. The "afterlives" of gravure and JAV idols is a perennial topic on this blog, as regular readers will know. What happens to those lovely ladies after they disappear from our lives? Mikami enjoyed a hugely successful career and her retirement from AV was fully planned, but most idols just fade away with a whimper, pushed out in a highly competitive market. And which means we rarely get to hear what they do next. (Spoiler: ...

When Yua Mikami retired last summer at the age of 30 and after carving out one of the most successful careers in Japanese porn ever, speculation was rife over what she would do next. For a start, she appeared to date two male celebrities at the same time. She has since focused on developing a line of apparel under the brand name MISTREASS, as she had announced she would last year (and a long-term passion project for her). She models for the brand too. Sadly, some things have not gone quite to plan. Mikami announced on social media yesterday that she was going to take action against the ...

Election broadcasts are a bit of a circus in Japan. Legally, the public broadcaster NHK is obliged to show them and this is why so many fringe and wacky candidates ultimately pay to stand for election, because it means they're guaranteed several minutes of fame. This year is particularly strange with the July election for Tokyo governor, since there are so many candidates (but only two or three serious ones). Already, the "poster hijacks" by the NHK Party, which has sold its candidates' slots to anyone willing to pay, have generated lots of attention, as have the nude images of a woman on ...

Police have arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of violating the new adult video law after he was caught filming a sex act with a 16-year-old girl in a karaoke room. One of the most common places to go to karaoke in Japan is a building with lots of small soundproof rooms, little more than booths really. This gives you privacy to drink and sing, and thus also ideal date spots. A bit of cuddling and smooching in the karaoke booth is the perfect prelude to moving on to your home or a love hotel. Inevitably, sex does happen in karaoke rooms, but actually making a porn film without ...
