Haruka Ayase makes surprise return to gravure
January 12, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Haruka Ayase is one of the most famous models and actors in Japan.
Before she made the transition into mainstream acting and modeling, and seemed to appear in almost every TV commercial or brand campaign, Ayase was briefly a gravure idol. She's got the looks for it: a cute, girl-next-door face, slim body, and (by most Japanese standards) large breasts.
This shoot in which she stands alluringly against a window, her body on display except for skimpy swimwear, is one of our all-time favorite gravure pics.
She even once shot some sort of video in a bath, and you can find nude grainy ...
Porn star claims sexual assault by scandal-hit comedian Hitoshi Matsumoto
January 11, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
The biggest entertainment world scandal in Japan of late has been the allegations of past sexual assault made against one of the nation's most famous comedians, Hitoshi Matsumoto.
The reports first emerged in a tabloid magazine in late December and have continued to unfold. At first, Matsumoto, his agency (Yoshimoto Kogyo), and broadcasters ignored or gave the report a minimal denial, and colleagues offered on-air support, but more revelations are still trickling out in further articles, and 60-year-old Matsumoto has now withdrawn from his television commitments, nominally so he can pursue a ...
Curvy ex-AKB48 idol Rina Hirata is using dating apps
January 11, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Dating apps like Tinder are ways to meet Japanese girls. There's always the chance that you will meet the girl of your dreams, your future wife, your next hookup -- or even a celebrity.
Former AKB48 idol and model Rina Hirata has shared publicly that she is using dating apps to look for a partner.
She didn't disclose which one(s) she uses -- we imagine it's not the app for otaku -- but she hasn't had any luck so far.
"I met about 10 guys but none of the dates went well," the Arizona-born hottie shared at a recent event in Tokyo to launch her latest gravure image DVD, Showa ...
A third of young Japanese men and women have never dated

A new survey has found that a third of unmarried Japanese adults in their twenties, thirties, and forties have never been in a relationship.
As reported by Kyodo News:
At 34.1 percent, the ratio of single men and women who have never had a romantic relationship was at a record high since Recruit Holdings Co., a staffing service group, began conducting surveys on people's views on marriage in 2017.
The figure of 25.6 percent for people not seeking marriage nearly matches the finding in last year's gender equality survey by the Japanese government, which has been struggling to deal with the ...

Famed hair nude photographer Kishin Shinoyama dies
January 8, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japanese photographer Kishin Shinoyama has died at the age of 83.
As regular readers will know, Shinoyama is regarded as the king of the hair nude (full-frontal nude), and is largely responsible for establishing it as a publishing genre in the early 1990s with his photo books of Rie Miyazawa (Santa Fe) and Kanoko Higuchi (Water Fruit), though Shinoyama and others had already done nudes in the previous decade (notably, a lovely shoot with Aki Mizusawa).
Others quickly dropped their clothes in front of the camera (not least, Yoko Shimada and Saki Takaoka), hoping to replicate Miyazawa ...
YouTubers take Tenga masturbation toys to earthquake-hit disaster zone
January 7, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japan's Noto Peninsula was hit by a huge earthquake on New Year's Day, causing massive damage to roads and buildings, and triggering a tsunami. Over a hundred have died, with many more still missing, and Ishikawa and surrounding prefectures have suffered almost immeasurable levels of destruction to property and infrastructure.
As locals subsist in evacuation centers or try to leave the area, and emergency services pour in to bring supplies and rescue those still trapped, the authorities have specifically requested that people outside the region not come as volunteers yet to ease the burden ...

Revisiting little-known 1980s Japanese softcore porn
January 5, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
We spend a lot of time on this blog looking at the latest developments in gravure models, music idols, Japanese porn, and general sex- and adult-related news.
But it's occasionally good to take a step back in time and explore the older content that's out there.
We have been looking at an obscure 1989 film with the improbable yet enticing title of E-Cup Honban II: Hojuku. It stars the well-endowed Satsuki Fuji (藤沙月).
The 59-minute softcore porn (pink) film has multiple nude sex scenes.
The best ones include a bed scene in which her lover kisses her amazing breasts while fingering ...
Minami Tanaka is dating KAT-TUN singer Kazuya Kamenashi
January 4, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
The New Year period in Japan is traditionally a time when celebrities announce marriages. Despite being overshadowed by tragic events in Noto and Haneda, this year proved to be business as usual in that respect: the actress Aya Hirano announced her marriage, and gravure idol Tomomi Morisaki confirmed her long-rumored coupling with baseball player Shota Hiranuma (and the fact that she was pregnant to boot).
And another celebrity story emerged: that the former TV announcer Minami Tanaka, who has made a wildly successful transition into modeling and acting, is dating the KAT-TUN singer Kazuya ...
