Former AKB48 idol Yuki Kashiwagi appears on the cover of the current issue of Weekly Young Jump, making a striking gravure comeback as she launches her latest photo book, Time Capsule.
The book went on sale on January 29 and brings together 14 years of shoots for Weekly Young Jump. Apparently it's so packed with photos that it weighs a full kilogram (about 2.2 pounds). Yukirin did her first cover shoot for the weekly magazine way back in 2010.
You'll have to get the magazine if you're a true fan, though, since the cover shoot isn't included in the new photo book, which is her fourth ...
The gravure idol and actress Ayano Sumida has released a statement about inappropriate physical contact at a launch event she recently held.
On January 27, Sumida posted on social media about "contact" with someone that wasn't included in the "perks" that attendees had purchased.
The incident took place on January 25 at a launch event for her third DVD, Secret Paradise. She was coy about the exact details and circumstances, but we are assuming that there was some degree of physical contact that was inappropriate or not allowed (perhaps a hug or attempted hug).
"Should such cases arise, I ...
Fresh from playing the lead in the NHK Taiga drama last year, Yuriko Yoshitaka is back in the news over rumors that her next role will see her do a sex scene.
If true, this will be the 36-year-old's first proper sex scene since Snakes and Earrings in 2008, which made her famous and became notorious for its explicit nude scenes in which the then-young actress showed off her slender body in the role of a self-destructive hostess.
After becoming a mainstream success and a staple of TV dramas and commercials, Yoshitaka never went back to risky or provocative roles again (or her management ...
The designers at Tama Toys have really outdone themselves with the adult toy brand's latest release, the Cthulhu Hole.
Even for a brand known for its strikingly novel and parodic masturbator designs -- including a human heart, a brain, an ear, and a grenade -- this is quite something.
The Cthulhu Hole is a hefty and very special male masturbator.
As our friends at Kanojo Toys write:
Experience a unique sexual union with the Great Old One, thanks to the Cthulhu Hole by Tama Toys, which features a special replica of the Lovecraftian cosmic entity in the form of a male masturbator.
With ...
Ayana Shiramoto appears nude in The Box Man.
The 2024 film, which is adapted from Kobo Abe's modern classic, is a typically weird story about a man who lives inside a box. That's basically the whole plot.
Shiramoto plays a nurse who develops a kind of relationship with the protagonist.
She walks around nude in several scenes, with lots of shots of her breasts and butt.
There is one somewhat conventional sex scene where the two undress in front of each other and then embrace. We then see her lying on the floor naked.
But the really weird scenes involve sexual activity while the ...
The latest celebrity scandal in Japan is the affair between baseball player Katsuki Azuma and popular porn star Jun Suehiro.
The 29-year-old Yokohama DeNA BayStars pitcher's relationship with the 25-year-old JAV performer came to light in a Weekly Bunshun scoop late last week, after Suehiro was spotted visiting Azuma's hotel.
Azuma has admitted the affair and apologized to his fans. He is married and has a daughter with his wife.
However, it still isn't 100% clear if the woman was Suehiro, who has so far maintained silence on the matter. She looks like the porn star, who is known to be ...
Last year, we reported on the strange case of the Japanese guy with four "wives." The situation seemed straight out of a manga and yet it was true.
In that case, the man and his harem were all relatively young. But age didn't stop another man.
The 76-year-old Hirohito Shibuya lived with nine wives in Higashiyamato, a suburb of Tokyo. Technically speaking, since polygamy is illegal in Japan, eight of the women were his ex-wives and he was only married to one of them.
Three of his children with the women also lived at the residence.
Shibuya was found dead on Sunday of an apparent suicide, ...
A few years ago, we reported on the career of gravure idol Yuka Kosaka, who abruptly quit the industry in 2009, gained a lot of weight, made a brief comeback (with a semi-nude shoot), and then settled into a quieter life as a nursery school teacher from the age of 24.
She did that for around a decade now, though the 39-year-old has also restarted some activities in the entertainment industry since last year. It seems she no longer works as a teacher due to health issues and instead focuses on entrepreneurial projects launching new schools, consulting for schools, and doing counseling. She ...
Is this what all Japanese maid cafes will be like in the future?
With Japan's population aging at an alarming rate, one event in the city of Kiryu in Gunma demonstrates that it doesn't matter if you're young at heart.
A maid cafe is open only once a month but is attracting attention and popularity from both customers and national media. This is not like a maid cafe in Akihabara, where you are likely to be served by a very young and cute lady. The maids are all aged 65 or older.
According to a report in the Yomiuri, people are coming around Japan to meet the maids.
At the year's first ...
Police in Hyogo Prefecture have arrested a fisherman on suspicion of illegally filming women at local beaches.
The 53-year-old has admitted to using an infrared filter on a camera to take images of women in swimwear.
According to a police announcement on January 15, Norimasa Miyake allegedly took photos of eight women in swimwear between July 2023 and July last year. The women were aged from their teens to their forties, and were taking part in swimming and running events at beaches in Akashi and Minamiawaji in Hyogo, and Tamano in neighboring Okayama.
Police were tipped off to his ...
