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 days seemed long ...
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.
So anything involving lingerie maker Peach John and Evangelion is surely going to get some juices flowing, especially when the model is haafu Elaiza Ikeda.
Behold: the Peach John Evangelion Eva lingerie.
There are five colors available for the Peach John Evangelion Eva bra sets, plus three colors for the Lance of Longinus bra, and numerous other items like nighties and Pen-Pen pajamas.
The items can be reserved from October 5th. Like previous Sailor Moon Bandai-Peach John collaboration (memorably ...
Tama Toys describe the Petan Hips DX Onahole as "ass realistic modeling".
We love this toy. Not only do you get hips and buttocks, as well as the usual two holes -- this is much more than just a regular buttocks masturbator.
Here the lovely lady is sitting down and her legs are folded underneath, so her cute feet are sticking out.
Just like this!
This is perfect if you have a thing for petite Asian feet.
The buttocks are so ripe and curved, you could also have a whale of a time just sliding in between them, before you even start concerning yourself with the ...
So apparently someone has figured out how unlock the security of your phone -- using recognition of your butthole.
Go Hatori already proved that it was possible to unlock your iPhone with your nipple.
But now he was gone one step further -- or backwards, if you like.
For reasons surely unfathomable to the majority of people, he set out to make his iPhone unlock through recognizing the dimensions of his anus.
He succeeded.
We love buttholes. We love phones.
But together? Beyond the obvious question of hygiene, we're not sure if this is practical. What do you do ...
After the recent court ruling against the underage idol who "broke" her contract and had a relationship, and the ruling in favor of the hostess who had a long-running affair with a client, there have been some interesting legal developments in Japan of late.
Now a woman who refused to take part in a porn shoot and was sued for ¥24 million (over $200,000) for breach of contract by the production company has won her case.
The court in Tokyo ruled that the "nature of the work is one that you cannot force someone to do it against their will".
The judge threw out the production ...
Nippon.com, normally a fairly austere and academic online publication, has published an article by sociologist Suzumi Suzuki, in which she discusses her fieldwork about adult video and role play in the porn world.
Suzuki starts out with a very positive view of her subject matter:
AV actresses are surprisingly articulate when asked to talk about themselves. In the videos by which they make a living, as well as in magazines and other media, they calmly field personal questions of all kinds and narrate their personal stories smoothly and eloquently.
To a large extent, this is a skill they ...
People in their forties and older can get romantic too, you know. And we know that older Japanese women still look amazing.
To celebrate the 50th volume of Tasogare Ryuuseigun (Like Shooting Stars in Twilight) by Kenji Hirokane, a popular manga (adapted for TV), Shogakukan has created a free giveaway promo item: free playing cards.
Kind of like Last Tango in Halifax in manga form, the protagonists of Tasogare Ryuuseigun are all middle-aged or elderly, and spend their final years determined to find their true love.
The Tasogare Ryuuseigun playing cards include 52 jukujo MILFs ...
