As we write this, Japan is heading to the polls in an election that might see the ruling LDP lose its majority in the House of Representatives.
Of course, we're less interested in the podgy faces of the LDP policos, most of whom should be off collecting their pensions by now instead of running the country, and more in the possible success of candidates like ex-gravure model Chisato Morishita, still a hottie at age 43 (and unmarried too).
She's already failed once in her bid to win a seat. Will she succeed this time and brighten up the stale corridors of power with her slinky charms?

Two gravure gyaru. What more could you want?!
Yukipoyo has been joined by her younger sister in a gravure shoot for the first time.
The 20-year-old Yumichi poses with Yukipoyo for a shoot in the October 22 issue of Flash magazine.
Yukipoyo (full name Yuki Kimura) is 27 years old and, though now known more generally as a celebrity, got her start in the gyaru fashion magazine egg. She overcame a drug scandal to make a comeback a few years ago. Stripping off helped.
Yumichi (Yumi Kimura) is very much following in her older sister's footsteps. She made her debut this February as a model in ...
We recently wrote about what we think is Kei Fubuki's first sex scene, which was very welcome in some ways, but disappointing in others (no nipples on display).
She continues to branch out into acting but Fubuki remains best known as a gravure idol. That said, she used to do a different job entirely.
As she reveals in an interview with the tabloid magazine Friday, she was once a flight attendant!
Imagine sitting in economy and this stunner is a member of the flight crew serving you drinks!
With such a large (and surely heavy) bust, we're surprised her airline didn't take a cut from ...
Another day, another news story about Okubo Park prostitution as the moral panic over street walkers in the area and Kabukicho host club debt and addiction continues.
The latest tale of woe is the arrest of a 53-year-old man, Atsuhiro Kodama, on child prostitution charges on October 18, after he took a 16-year-old high schooler he picked up in Okubo Park to a nearby love hotel.
To pay for her obsession with male underground idols (chika idol), she apparently starting doing papakatsu (sugar daddy compensated dating). Someone on social media told her that you can earn a lot of money doing ...
Yamagata Education Board announced on October 17 that it had suspended a foreign assistant language teacher for six months for taking photos up girls' skirts in Tokyo.
The unnamed man in his thirties works at high schools in the prefecture.
The teacher is accused of using his phone to take pics up women's skirts on escalators in Tokyo Station and a mall on a trip to the capital last month. At the mall, another woman realized and alerted a security guard, who was able to apprehend the foreign and call police.
He was taken for questioning by Tokyo police, who then told his workplace.
"I let ...
A young Chilean woman recently provoked a lot of ire in Japan when she posted a video of herself doing pull-ups on the gate of a Shinto shrine.
The influencer Marimar Pérez-Banus subsequently issued an apology and deleted the video, but we will probably not get the same from another young lady who posed semi-naked at a popular tourist attraction in Japan.
As netizens have discovered, there are actually lots of pics of foreigners doing silly things at places like Fushimi Inari, a Shinto shrine in Kyoto famous for its vast numbers of red torii gates that form labyrinthine corridors.
Here is ...
Japanese porn parodies are two a penny. Every few weeks seems to offer up yet another colorful AV parody of a franchise or real-life incident. We reported on the new Frieren: Beyond Journey's End porn parody last week, for example.
But though at times inventive or even provocative, these parodies tend to have lowish production values and, let's be honest, are basically a cash grab.
And so people have reacted with surprise at the high quality of the porn parody of My Dress-Up Darling (その着せ替え人形は恋をする), a manga, anime, and (since this month) TV drama on MBS, because ...
Mana Sakura was recently admitted to hospital, suffering from pneumonia.
When Sakura shared news about her health on social media earlier this month, it sparked a lot of unfounded online speculation that she found offensive. Some netizens even claimed that she had AIDS.
Sakura has reacted with fury to these allegations, issuing the corrective and promising to consult with her agency about launching a lawsuit against the people who spread the rumors about her having AIDS.
The 31-year-old Sakura, who is also a novelist (four and counting, and one was adapted into a movie) and director, is ...
We could, if we were so willing, fill the digital pages of this blog solely with news about porn debuts. After all, incredible woman make incredible debuts in the JAV industry basically every week.
That would probably be as exhausting as it would be exhaustive, but we hope you'll forgive us from indulging this temptation a bit, a mere two days after we reported on the porn debut of former Malcolm Mask McLaren idol mone as Tomo Shiraiwa.
Because frankly, we think this one looks awesome.
Yui Sayama (佐山由依) debuts this week for E-Body in a 163-minute release (EBWH00168) directed by ...
Yuki Mamiya is one of the most reliable actresses in Japan when it comes to nudity.
The star has spent a decade or so doing both nude shoots and nude sex scenes in movies, both low-budget sexploitation and more mainstream erotic films.
Examples include The Crawler in the Attic, Sweet Whip, Chotto Kawaii Iron Maiden (aka The Torture Club), and Wet Woman in the Wind.
She used to perform under the name Yuki Mogami and now apparently goes by Yuki Masuda, which is how she is credited for The Key – Professor's Pleasure.
We missed it at the time but this erotic, which came out in Japan in ...
