Politicians like to show that they are the same as us, the regular public. The advent of social media has been a huge part of this, giving them instant access to a means of sharing their "ordinary" lives with the voters.
So when Shun Otokita of Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Innovation Party) went to the sauna after work, he surely thought he was doing something positive when he shared on Twitter (X) a picture about his achievements with keeping his weight down.
The only issue is that he wasn't paying much attention to what he was wearing and where he was standing.
The 40-year-old House of ...
On October 13, NMB48 announced that Fuuwa Kuroda (黒田楓和) was to leave the music group with her graduation performance being on October 26 and last official day as a member on November 5.
However, on October 28, the group announced that Kuroda will instead leave with immediate effect, and won't attend three hand-shaking events as planned on October 29, November 4, and November 5.
Health issues are nominally cited as the reason, but Japanese netizens have speculated that the real reason is much darker.
It is alleged that the 19-year-old made a sex tape with her boyfriend, which has ...

A 32-year-old man from Kobe was arrested recently for trying to abduct a female junior high school student. Why? It's perhaps not what you expect: the company employee wanted her to step on his body.
Atsushi Yamamoto and the student met in a local park. "I'll pay you several thousand yen for stepping on my body," he told her. They got in his car and he paid her in cash. The act then allegedly took place in a parking lot near a train station between around midnight on ...
The former gravure idol Shizuha Takimoto (瀧本雫葉) is making her adult video debut.
The gorgeous, pale-skinned beauty's first porn production comes out via Prestige's Genesis label on November 24.
In addition to the 230-minute release (CTKTGNI-002), the 24-year-old has also just released her first nude photo book in mid-September as a Kindle and on-demand paperback.
If we are honest, we never knew who she was, which left us wondering if her gravure career was very obscure or she worked as a gradol under a totally different name.
It seems that most of the internet ...
Yesterday, we wrote about that eternal singleton who never stops being cute, the 40-year-old Sayaka Isoyama, who has just released a new photo book.
Now we have yet another piece of evidence to back up what we wrote last week when speculating about Tomomi Morisaki's rumored pregnancy and preparations for marriage: that the majority of celebrity marriages in Japan are shotgun weddings.
The actress and model Kyoko Hinami has announced she is pregnant and married.
The 29-year-old made the announcement via social media on October 23.
Hinami made her debut as a model in 2006, when she was ...
One of the most famous jukujo in the entertainment world is hitting a landmark age and, to celebrate, has released a new photo book that shows she's as hot as ever.
Voluptuous celebrity Sayaka Isoyama, who isn't really famous for anything other than her curves and being on TV, turned 40 yesterday.
The oddly named and more is her first photo book in six years, and may well be her last. She said at a promo event over the weekend that she is considering retiring from gravure, though she said she would retire six years ago after getting married.
Well, guys should be reassured that the comely ...
Early last year, we wrote about the porn debut of Japanese TikToker Unpai. This was exciting enough in its own right, but seemed to signal something of a trend in Japanese adult video industry at the time, as several TikTokers made the shift to porn after acquiring a fandom on the video platform.
Unpai was followed by biracial beauty Okogetan and Ichika-sensei.
Like a lot of JAV performers, many of these debuts, despite benefiting from extra publicity and interest due to their existing fame and popularity, are destined to have short careers in the highly competitive world of Japanese ...
We recently discovered this "celebrity sweaty sex game." Unfortunately, we don't know the original source. We'd love to provide full credit, so please let tell us in the comments if you know.
Which celebrity would you like to have "sweaty sex" with? The rules are simple.
The idea is that you must get 10 points. Sex with each celebrity rewards you with certain points.
You can choose the same person as many times as you like, but you have to stay within the same group and get exactly 10 points.
Who will you choose to get your quota of points? It's more difficult than it looks!
In Group A ...
When top gravure idol Tomomi Morisaki announced her long-rumored retirement, there was speculation about the exact reasons. Was she leaving the entertainment industry for good? Now that she was in her thirties, was she just quitting while she was ahead and before the glamor model offers dried up? Did she want to focus on her general TV celebrity gigs?
It seems that the answer was that classic Japanese entertainer one: romance and a family.
Now, just before the release of her retirement DVD and Blu-ray, comes news reports that the hottie is "seriously dating" a baseball player, Shota ...
