Slinky sexplot Kanami Takasaki is to release her second, hotly anticipated photo book.
Blooming Bud comes out on January 25, 2024, from Transworld Japan, which specializes in publishing idol books and calendars.
It features Takasaki, who is known for her girl-next-door looks, in a more alluring, sensual style, including a cover image where she is posing naked at the sea, holding up a sheer piece of fabric. As the title of the book suggests, 26-year-old Takasaki is possible entering a more mature stage in her career.
Blooming Bud has a beach theme and was shot in Hawaii. To promote it, ...
Regular readers will know how often we praise the Japanese adult brand Tama Toys on these digital pages. The feisty, prolific manufacturer pumps out a huge range of toys and goodies, including probably the best hug pillows and covers in the industry.
It has also developed a fine line in creating radical, sometimes bizarre masturbators. Perhaps you remember its previous achievements, like masturbators inspired by a bullet, brick, bamboo, and even a grenade.
More recently, we wrote about its strikingly designed heart-shaped masturbator toy.
Now comes another entry in the annals of ...
The surge in streetwalkers at Okubo Park near Kabukicho, Shinjuku's red-light district, has prompted a media panic over the last year or so, not least because the women seem very young.
A lot of media reports have indicated that the women are doing sex work to pay off debts or fund their trips to host clubs. The latter have been demonized by the media and politicians of late, and lawmakers are trying to target "malicious clubs" that trap vulnerable women in a spiral of debt.
The streetwalkers are also perhaps not as freelance as you might think, as one case indicates.
A 27-year-old ...
The Japanese movie Shrieking in the Rain is about a 1988 sexploitation film shoot. Since the movie deals with softcore porn, it inevitably has some fairly explicit scenes itself.
It first came out in late 2021, streaming on Amazon Prime, and there now seems to be a more explicit "late-night version" rated R18 that's available on Netflix Japan. To be honest, these release details are a bit confusing and it's perhaps why the hot stuff only came to our attention recently.
Directed by Eiji Uchida, who made the JAV-themed The Naked Director series for Netflix and the film Love and Other Cults, ...
A 43-year-old man has been arrested at a hot spring facility in the Mie city of Kuwana for entering the women-only bathing area.
The man, who is described in media reports as unemployed, is from Kasugai in Aichi.
According to police, the man is suspected of sneaking into the women's baths at around 8:30 pm on November 13.
A female customer alerted a member of staff, who confirmed that a man was washing himself in the female bathing area, and then called the cops.
However, the story then becomes complicated because the man told police: "I'm a woman inside, so I can't understand at all ...
We recently wrote about the frankly shocking papakatsu compensated dating fraud perpetuated by a woman to fund her trips to host clubs.
It shows many things, not least the extraordinary lengths some women will go to to feed their addiction to host clubs.
This issue has drawn attention of late, with host clubs seen as more exploitative than hostess clubs. Host clubs have developed an image as an ecosystem that preys on vulnerable women and with a financial structure that leads to debt, whereby women are encouraged to rack up huge bills that they pay later.
Many of the women who go to host ...
Former top adult video star Sola (Sora) Aoi has given her first on-camera interview in four years.
Once the most famous Japanese porn star, and popular also in other parts of Asia, Sora Aoi announced her marriage at the start of 2018 to DJ Non.
When she then announced she was pregnant at the end of that year, she experienced quite a lot of abuse on social media. Despite not appearing in porn since 2011, many trolls still criticized her for becoming a mother, saying it was "sad for the children."
Now aged 42, Sola Aoi has two kids with DJ Non. She gave birth to twins in May 2019.
She ...
Have you ever wondered what that sex position is called in Japanese?
This could be for purely academic reasons, of course, if you are a bit of a linguist. Maybe you just like having random knowledge in your arsenal.
Or it could be for that time when you need to explain to your Japanese partner the position you want to try next.
This superbly useful guide has illustrations of various sex positions with their Japanese name, including transliterated versions if you can't read the kanji.
The guide was created by illustrator Jikumaru and published online in 2019, giving kind permission for ...
We are pleased to see that the impossibly sexy and cute gravure idol and actress Yuno Ohara is to release a new photo book.
The as-yet untitled photo book comes out on January 31 next year. It marks her third photo book, with her debut release released back in 2018.
Three preview images are available at the moment, with more sure to come in the near future.
Yuno Ohara is no stranger to these digital pages. We previous covered her (non-nude) sex scenes in drama series Sweat and Soap last year and The Young Boys with Secrets earlier this year.
The 24-year-old also did a hot shoot for ...
Politicians in the Kanagawa assembly were recently filmed by the media sleeping on the job.
Over several days, FNN's cameras spotted multiple lawmakers having a nap during sessions of the assembly, instead of doing the job the public elects (and pays) them to do.
Plus ça change. We could fill this blog with examples of politicos sleeping on the job.
But the cameras also spotted one lawmaker doing something a bit more cheeky.
Yusuke Terasaki of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan was observed using his computer to look up non-work-related matters. In fact, he was planning his ...
