Imagine you are a young Japanese girl. You are on a train. You sit down. You put on some earphones and listen to music. You close your eyes. Probably you are tired and just want some rest on the way home. You have made a fatal mistake.
That's what one Japanese girl in her twenties found out on a train in Saitama on April 25th. She was rudely awakened from her semi-slumber to find that a stranger's lips were locked around hers.
While her eyes had been closed, a man, Toshimitsu Ishibashi (49), had decided to kiss her. The man was from Saitama's Kasukabeshi and worked as a ...
Sorry, it's been a while since we did a photographic profile of a idol but we've been wanting to do Ruriko Kojima (小島瑠璃子) for a long time now!
Ruriko was born in 1993 and is more of a TV tarento than straight-out gravure idol, but boy, does she look nice in a bikini.
What a cutie. We love her big rabbit-like ...
An online survey has found some surprising results about identification with otaku, proving that we have come so far since the days of Tsutomu Miyazaki.
137,734 people were asked, "Do you consider yourself somehow an otaku?"
Yes: 42.2%
No: 57.8%
That's a lot of supposed otaku!
Here's the breakdown per generation:
Teenagers: 62.0%
Twenties: 55.6%
Thirties: 46.4%
Forties: 44.8%
Fifties: 36.7%
Sixties: 26.9%
Seventies: 23.1%
Eighties: 23.3%
Of course, these days the definition of "otaku" is wider, and can apply to soccer fanatic or just about any passionate fans of ...
Finally do we have proof that plastic surgery has gone too far in Korea?
Right now the Japanese internet is enjoying just such a gloat as they peruse the entries for Miss Korea.
Why? Because the ladies look so similar it is virtually impossible to tell them apart unless you look at the Hangul names.
It's no secret that plastic surgery is rampant in Korea -- as opposed to Japan, where it is common in the celebrity world but kept an open secret -- but does this mean that everyone starts to look the same, with the same kind of generic beauty?
The girls look lovely but ...
We've long been a fan of Korean actress Bae Doo-na.
The cutie (33) has been on our screen for years already, including in a couple of Japanese films as well as several major Korean hits.
She is not afraid to strip off either, having shed her clothes for Plum Blossom and Sympathy For Mr Vengeance in some quite explicit sex scenes.
One of her Japanese roles was as a blow-up sex doll, for which she was frequently nude.
Now she is working in America too, with a role as a sexy android in Cloud Atlas, which is adapted from the sprawling novel by ...
With fame and sudden popularity comes unwanted side-effects.
Curvy over-thirty sexpot Mitsu Dan is not afraid of stripping off and revealing all, but she has acquired some undesirable fans among her legions of admirers.
After her home was shown on a TV program, she has had men apparently hanging around in her neighborhood.
Most celebrities and idols move to luxury condos when they hit the big time, but Dan (32) has continued to live in her modest apartment since her break happened almost over night and she hasn't had time to catch up with her new-found lifestyle.
She ...
The old favorites are the best.
We are pleased to welcome actress Saki Takaoka back to the big screen.
Now 40 years old and still a stunner, Takaoka will be performing her first nude scene in 17 years in a new film, Monster, to be released in Japan on April 27.
She is well known for her nude scenes in films in the 1990s (like Crest of Betrayal in 1994 -- see the first pic below) and the "hair nude" (full-frontal nude) photo book one, two, three she released in 1995 in her heyday. (Such celebrity "hair nude" photo books were really popular in the mid-1990s.)
She stopped performing ...
Former sweet and innocent Gravure idol Risa (aka Lisa) Goto has graduated to the big time at last.
After a career that began with drink commercials when still a teenager, Risa has since then had an up-and-down professional life, with bits of acting and prematurely retiring at least once.
So far that most spectacular thing was the "hair nude" shoot she did in 2012. This alone raised many an eyebrow for the former cute girl-next-door idol's fans (and no doubt raised a few other body parts as well). We love the mole on her body, just above her bush.
Now she's thrown in her towel on the ...
Another day, another celebrity lady bites the dust.
Despite having split up with her boyfriend in January, popular fashion model Maki Nishiyama has announced that she is five months pregnant.
After a few days of will-they-won't-they, she and her actor ex-boyfriend Taichi Saotome have not only got back together, but are getting married.
Perhaps she announced the pregnancy to put pressure on him to do the honorable thing?
Still, this is another case of dekikkon, proving that even famous girls are not the kind to say no to a man who doesn't like to use condoms -- and unfortunately has ...
Never, never let it be said that pornography isn't cultural. Far from it. JAV is high art!
We've known this for years and now there can be no denying it with the Naked Sex Art Museum, which we have been "visiting" recently.
The Soft on Demand (SOD) title features Anri Suzuki, Ryo Akanishi, Satsuki Kirishima and Reira Serikawa in a series of scenes that recreate famous paintings... in the most artistic way possible.
The cover of course is Sandro Botticelli's Venus.
Another major obvious one is Manet's "The Luncheon on the Grass".
The original painting in itself ...
