The ex-porn star Kaho Shibuya is suing a production company for ¥7.4 million (about $55,000) for mental distress, infringement of privacy, and harm to her reputation after it neglected to handle unedited data properly, resulting in a leak of footage.
In January 2022, Shibuya ascertained that two of her adult video releases made in September 2016 and released in 2017 had been uploaded to a video site in an unedited (uncensored) format not available commercially. In other words, the genitals on the content were not blurred out in the usual Japanese way (known as "mosaic," a custom in porn as ...
Last month, we wrote about the second photo book by the ravishing Amazonian beauty that is Fumika.
As in her previous shoots, the former Miss Japan finalist and University of Tokyo alumni was showing off plenty of her athletic legs and svelte buttocks, while apparently hiding her actual breasts and nipples despite some very wet clothing in some of the shots.
We are pleased to reveal that Fumika has also revealed: the photo book is a proper nude shoot, including full-frontal nudity.
It's a hair nude, then, though you can't actually see any bush. Whether from very careful grooming or ...
The immensely popular Japanese porn star Eimi Fukada landed herself in hot water this week by complaining on social media that men should pay for dates with girls.
Fukada, who last year held a 24-hour "free hugs" event for fans, reasoned that women already have various expenses that men don't, such as hair styling, makeup, and clothing costs, not to mention the time the women spend getting ready for their date.
She said men should pay the "date charges" -- presumably meaning paying for all the costs of the date (meal, drinks, movie theater tickets, etc.), not an actual "fee" paid to the ...
There have been various scandals about YouTubers, proving that these new kinds of celebrities are as fallible as the rest of us. But this one is quite a bit more serious than the others.
A former member of the YouTuber group Kindan Boys (禁断ボーイズ) has been arrested on suspicion of prostitution.
According to various media reports on February 14, Mohrii (Kohei Mori) is accused of recruiting clients via a dating app by posing as a woman. Another four members of an alleged prostitution ring were also arrested. Mori's role was to send messages and reel patrons in.
Police believe the ...
The fertility/harvest festival held annually at Tagata Shrine in Komaki, Aichi, isn't as famous as the Kanamara festival, held near Tokyo, but is another example of an ancient Shinto event in which phallic objects abound.
Like with Kanamara, the Tagata Shrine honen festival makes for some very photogenic moments where a giant phallus newly carved from cypress is paraded around on March 15. This is led by the Shinto shrine's priests in all their finery. Women in robes also walk around holding smaller phallus objects.
Festivals are also about making money for the shrine, and Tagata Shrine, ...
The former HKT48 idol Haruka Kodama recently appeared on a TV variety show where guests were asked to give their insights on how a couple can improve their relationship.
She gave one suggestion that shocked (or delighted) fans: she said that couples should watch porn together.
On the ABEMA show on February 7, where couples get advice directly from guests in the studio, a female comedian called Renachiru complained that her sex life with her boyfriend (a former host) had declined. She suspects she might be to blame, because she admits imposing a lot of rules on her lover, including blanket ...
Japan is famously, perhaps infamously, a land of few condom users.
To the chagrin of brands like Okamoto and Sagami, especially because they produce some the thinnest and best-quality condoms in the world, couples tend to prefer the classic pulling-out technique to safe sex that lets you finish inside.
And it's one reason there are a lot of shotgun weddings, especially among celebrities (for whom, it is seemingly the only way to get out of their contracts). Oh, and rampant syphilis.
But will the guys start wearing condoms during masturbation?
If that sounds like an oxymoron, we mean this: ...
Tea Friends is a new Japanese film about sex services for the elderly.
A former sex worker called Mana (Rei Okamoto) runs the eponymous service, which she considers more like a community of "tea girls" who sleep with older men.
The clients answer vague ads asking for "tea friends" and this is how they meet the women involved with the service, who tend to be mature too. If this sounds twee, it's actually realistic -- we wrote about a similar service before.
Inevitably, their encounters involves trips to love hotels but the film suggests there's more to this than just sex. Also inevitably, ...
A 54-year-old Japanese man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering an ex-music idol.
Police in Fuchu arrested Akira Ishikawa on February 3 for killing a 24-year-old former idol called Sana Hirabayashi at a hotel in the city in the west of Tokyo by stabbing her neck.
Security camera footage captured the two entering the hotel at 2 a.m. on the morning of February 2. Ishikawa then left alone about four hours later. The hotel became concerned when Hirabayashi had still not emerged from the room by 1:30 a.m. on February 3 and couldn't be contacted. They called police, who found her in the ...
