When we showcase the wonders of Japanese idols, models and actresses, we don't just focus on the girls of the moment. We also like to look back at the ladies from yesteryear. Some of the style of the photos might be old but the beauty is timeless.
Our idol this week is Azumi Kawashima, who was born in 1979 and is a former adult video starlet and model no stranger to full hair nude shoots, as these opulent images reveal...
She retired a few years ago, after a career of porn, B-movies and photo books in the late 1990's to early 2000's. The good news is that Azumi is still only in her ...
Dutch wives -- a euphemism for sex dolls, especially ones which don't look like sex dolls -- are always evolving.
From Taiwanese art projects to the masterpieces of foam that are the Dekunoboo, hug pillows come in all shapes and sizes.
And some are barely disguised, while others are pretending to be more sophisticated. Take the Wata Danna and Wata Yome, two new cotton "partners" for lonely people who want a friend when none is around, or who want to turn their home into a soine sleep-together cafe.
These "cotton husband" and "cotton wife" products are ...
You see! It's not just Japanese guys! Other Asian men also have a thing for dakimakura.
Artist Lee Kan Kyo originally hails from Taiwan, though he came to Japan in 2007 to study. Now he is holding his first solo exhibition in Japan at Guardian Garden gallery in Ginza.
And the theme? Pop art-style dakimakura Dutch wife hug dolls.
The exhibition "Dream That Girl (Don't Stop)" -- which may or may not be ironic -- will be held from January 13th to January 29th.
It will feature around 13 exhibits of Lee Kan Kyo's original idol ...
Underwear is important for showing off your package but also keeping it firm and steady. After all, life throws a fair few things at you -- from being jostled by crowds to the trials of not getting hard when on a rush hour train with some hot office ladies...
The Toot series of "no-slip" male boxers promise that they will keep your cock in the same place no matter what happens.
Don't believe us? Well, the boast is "scientifically proven" by their video demonstrations.
The funkily colored underwear is designed to keep you in the "best position".
They tested this by a series ...
Japanese porn label King has made a whole series of onahole masturbator toys based on Japanese porn stars.
And so it was perhaps inevitable that they would turn to the reigning queen, Kirara Asuka. And in particular, her butt.
Though not her first clone masturbator or adult toy tie-up, this Kirara's Hip is a glorious tribute to Kirara Asuka's body, especially her ass. It's a flatbed-style onahole, meaning you can lay it down flat on a surface, even better for sliding into from behind.
There are of course two holes -- the anal and vaginal -- and we like how these are full air ...
Cutie Yuriko Yoshitaka has landed the biggest presenting gig in Japanese television -- co-hosting the end-of-year music show Kohaku on NHK.
The actress with the famous husky voice has been a rising star for several years and this cements her maintain ascendancy.
Last year the job was handled by Haruka Ayase, who notoriously made a botch of it, forgetting people's names and so on.
We expect the 26-year-old Yuriko will do much better.
However, we also think it's time to remember the role that first made Yuriko famous, a very revealing turn when she was still a teenager in the film Snakes ...
Amazon.co.jp has released its list of bestselling items for the year.
Naturally we went straight to check out the adult section!
The top seller was the Seven Teen Bordeaux Onahole, a now classic onahole of virgin teenager sensations.
Number 2 was a Tenga product and perhaps it's no surprise that it was their Deep Throat Onacup, a cheap but stylish way to pop your load.
This was followed by another Tenga toy at Number 3 -- the Tenga Flip Hole.
Number 4 was the by Toy's Heart.
Number 5 was a lube from the Pepe series by Nippori.
Number 6 was the Sujiman Kupa! ...
If you went out at Halloween in Tokyo you might have seen some very scantily clad ladies.
Likewise, a trip to Akihabara often means the chance to see idols performing on the street with a lot on display. Flasher idol Asuka Sawamoto famously got herself arrested in 2008 when she did a series of performances in Akiba where she let hordes of men photograph her underwear. (She went on to a career in porn.)
But what about just "risque" fashion. How far is this legal?
A fashion website asked a lawyer about how far you go with see-through underwear in Japan.
Exposing yourself in ...
This story is super old now but we wanted to blog it anyway because it's important.
With its low use of condom usage, Japan is a bit of an HIV time bomb -- something the gay community is more proactive about. Complimentary condoms are frequently available at bars and clubs, and HIV awareness posters are also displayed in gay nightlife areas.
However, one HIV awareness poster was too much for the authorities and locals.
Designed by illustrator and animator Poko Murata, this billboard was hung in Shinjuku Nichome, Tokyo's main gay district, from December 2013. Its design soon became ...
The lovely Mayu Koseta is a swimwear Gravure idol who seems to have an uncanny knack for switching between different styles: sensual and sexy, cute and girl-next-door-innocent, and even as agile as a gymnast with her flexible legs.
The up-and-coming talent was born in 1994, making her a very ideal 20 years old. In Japan, of course, this is the age when you officially become an adult. We hope very much to see more of the "adult" Mayu Koseta in the ...
