Halloween in Japan is much more than just trick or treating. It means dressing up skimpy costumes and cosplay outfits, and hanging out in places like Shibuya for hours on October 31st as well as the weekends leading up to Halloween.
The popularity of the movement has developed a lot in the past few years, with thousands now descending on Scramble Crossing every year.
This makes for a visual feast in terms of costumes, and the best ones often have little to do with a traditional Halloween as we know it in the United States, and more to do with Japanese pop culture, trends, in-jokes, and ...
Continuing the trend for former AKB48 idols trying to make a name for themselves post-AKB with a raunchy photo shoot, Aika Ota is the latest young lady to show us what she's got.
She follows in the glorious footseps of Mariya Nagao, Aki Takajo, Satomi Kaneko, and Natsumi Hirajima.
Just recently, Haruka Shimada preceded her imminent graduation with a sultry shoot that suggests she may be keen to go further in the near future.
Born in 1994, Ota graduated from AKB48 in April 2017 after time spend in both the main AKB48 group and its Fukuoka spin-off, HKT48.
Aika ...
Mana Sakura is a major AV star right now, so much so that she even has her own luxury naked figure.
But she isn't content with just fame and fortune. She wants more challenges. So she has reinvented herself as a writer and director.
She has directed a video in which Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un are not world leaders blustering at each other about nuclear war, but rather best buddies. Given Trump's state visit to Japan and South Korea this week, the timing of the satire is perfect.
To be fair, the video, which Sakura has said is intended to promote world peace, has been funded by Bonx as ...
Erina Kamiya. Member of Kamen Joshi (Masked Girls) and Steam Girls. Gravure idol of the moment. Fire of our loins.
She of the killer cute butt and the amazing bust.
These days, Erina Kamiya is also a YouTuber. What we particularly love about her is that she doesn't seem to take herself too seriously.
In one of her recent YouTube videos and TV appearances she has shown us how to strip off quickly and what she can balance on her bust.
Another one of her official channel from the end of October sees her take off her clothes and attempt to hide her pussy with various objects. Yes, ...
One of Japan's hottest young haafu fingering herself. What more could you want?
Japanese model and actress Elaiza Ikeda has got steamy in her latest role.
For the TV drama Boku wa Mari no naka (Inside Mari) on Fuji TV, an adaptation of the manga by Shuzo Oshimi, Ikeda is shown in bed masturbating herself as she gropes her breasts.
Playing the lead role of Mari, Ikeda shows off her ample bust and tender body as she reaches down to touch herself under her skirt, fantacizing about a man on top of her.
All right, this isn't Anna Konno-level nudity ...
Sometimes Japan can seem behind the times.
While the American entertainment world is finally waking up to the endemic nature of the casting couch with a resulting scandal that may continue in waves for a long time, there seems to be (as far as we know) zero serious discussion of the situation in Japan. The casting couch (makura eigyo) is a prevalent problem that music idols, gravure idols, models and actresses all have to deal with.
Likewise, though the last couple of years have seen the global profile of trans rights raised immensely, no similar movement has taken shape in Japan. Sure, ...
Bathing and fetish cultures are both big in Japan, so why not combine the two?
It's a question that people have no doubt asked at some time, but now some boffin has gone ahead and figured out a way to answer it. Don't believe us? Behold the results.
Available in male and female versions, the Leftover Bathwater Drink is for anyone with a hankering for the used water left behind after a special someone has finished their ablutions.
The Leftover Bathwater Drink comes courtesy of the "brilliant" boffins at cult novelty store Village Vanguard, who also produced the panties eye mask we ...
Not content with having conquered the Japanese adult video scene, former SKE48 idol and now top porn star Yua Mikami (Momona Kito) decided to take over Halloween as well.
To celebrate October 31st, which is something of a crazy bonanza in Tokyo, Mikami dressed up in an original costume.
She could have gone for a sexy nurse or even a zombie, and still come out a winner. But she decided to head off into more novel territory with her choice of garb: she transformed herself into... a Starbucks Frappuccino.
Yes, as if she wasn't sweet enough, Mikami became one of the notorious ...
You remember the Hentai Kamen, the superhero who wears panties over his face?
Now behold the wonder of the Brassiere Eye Mask, which covers your eyes with -- you've guessed it -- a miniature bra.
Produced by novelty store Village Vanguard, the Brassiere Eye Mask is more of a parody item than a genuine fetish toy, but it's still pretty awesome. Any mainstream appropriation of fetish culture is OK by us.
We especially love the way it is marketed with a salaryman-like Japanese man dressed in a suit, whose true desires lie not in spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations, but in ...
Top gravure idol Anna Konno has just won herself a lot more love from her legions of male fans.
The finely chested veteran model also moonlights as an actress and has uppped her game by stripping off for the new two-part film Ah, Wilderness, as we blogged earlier this month.
Now we can share even better images showing her in full nude sex scene in a love hotel. She is shown taking her clothes off and then embracing her male companion as they settle down on the bed for some intimate time. Unfortunately it doesn't look like you see her actually going at it, though. The lucky guy seems to have ...
