After a minor career as an actress and model, Chiharu Komatsu did a fantastic hair nude shoot in 1998. She went nude again in 2007.
Before that she got pregnant, married, and divorced in fairly quick succession. (Her child died soon after being born.) In 2008, she gave birth to a son, though remains unmarried.
Since then she made a comeback as a jukujo adult video star in 2011. In a weird twist, she initially denied her adult career shift on her blog at the end of 2010. Perhaps there was a last-minute contractual issue with MUTEKI.
Regardless, "Kokuhaku" (Confession) came out in 2011 ...
We know the most popular Japanese porn stars in Korea. But what about regular actresses?
Well, the most popular Japanese actress in South Korea is actually not the major star you might think. It's probably Mina Fujii.
The 27-year-old cutie learned Korean and appears in lots of loca drama. She's a graduate from Keio University and was born in San Diego. While she has appeared a fair bit of Japanese TV and film, she is much more popular in Korea.
While we are sure linguistic ability and acting talent have an influence on this, we also think it's down to her frankly stunning looks, ...
Fetish Fashion Tokyo (or FetishFashion.Tokyo) is a new photography book showcasing the fetish scene in Japan's capital.
Released on October 10th, it features photography by Peter W Czernich and modeling from mannequin duo FEMM and Hirari Ikeda (that's her on the cover). Contributors include latex brands Kurage and Atsuko Kudo.
The book is bilingual, in English and Japanese, and edited by fetish magazine Infamous Magazine.
Don't expect anything hard-core in the book. From the looks of things, its focus is on latex fetish as a fashion statement more than a sexual ...
We're written before about how goddamned sexy Korean actresses are on the red carpet. Their figure-hugging dresses and revealing outfits have landed certain women in trouble, to the extent that BIFF banned overtly sexy dresses!
We are super late with this but we figured it was a nice story relating to the same theme.
Korean actress Ha Na-kyung (Ha Na-kyeong) made quite a splash at the Blue Dragon Film Awards in 2012 with a revealing black dress, cut down the side to show off her legs and down the middle to show off her bust.
However, when Ha Na-kyung fell flat on her face ...
We've always been a fan of the underrated Rei Toda.
Toda is one of those gravure models who looks like she could easily be working as an office lady for a regular corporation somewhere in a Tokyo business district.
Born in 1987, Toda has a slinky body yet a demure, sultry face. She's the kind of lady who would look great in a suit as well as a party dress -- a Gravure idol you wouldn't feel sheepish about introducing to your mom.
So we are super pleased to learn that this surprisingly little-known model has now stripped off for a semi-nude shoot in a recent issue of tabloid Shukan ...
What happens to the literally thousands of gravure idols, music idols, and minor porn stars when their careers dry up?
Some go into prostitution, some get married. Still others become writers, like Nayuka Mine, or politicians, like Ayaka Shiomura or Renho.
Well, some switch tracks completely, like Yuka Kosaka.
She burst into the idol big time in 2004 when she won the Miss Young Magazine, and at her height was appearing on TV variety shows and in gravure shoots.
Then in 2009 she retired and became something of a media joke due to her sudden weight gain. Her glory ...
We've long been talking about the apparent imminent demise of fake deai-kei ("encounter") websites, which promise liaisons with members of the opposite sex but seem mostly just to take your money.
There seem to be new cases of fake sites appearing in the news every few weeks. Surely, with such bad publicity, people will just stop signing up to the services soon?
Another example of the dangers has been revealed in the case of the Chiba company managing a members-only deai-kei site with men pretending to be women.
The site had 2.7 million members nationwide, of whom only one was ...
As if the front-zipper Realise swimsuit isn't enough for people to get excited about, now comes news that the swimming costumes featured in the "Underwater Knee-High Girls" series of aquatic photo books by Manabu Koga will also go on sale.
The third photography book by Koga was released in September, with the theme this time being pairs of girls diving underwater, who link arms to form "cubes". Well, the models were already erotic enough. Now we have hints of aquatic lesbianism to boot!
The two swimming costumes being sold by Village Vanguard have actually been developed for ...
In the latest development in Japan's attempts to deal with the phenomenon of revenge porn, things have taken an unusual turn. We readily associate revenge porn with men -- but female partners can also be vengeful.
Japanese police have arrested a 25-year-old woman who attempted to exhort money from an ex-lover. She cut his clothes with scissors and took a nude picture of the man, demanding ¥2 million (about $17,000) in cash in exchange for not putting the images online.
Maki Oji, a company employee from Shinjuku, cut up the clothes and took the nude photos of the man from September 30th ...
Evangelion and Rei Ayanami is one the pinnacles of otaku fantasy.
