Top model and actress Haruka Ayase is reportedly dating a much younger male singer and actor.
According to tabloid reports, Ayase (39) is in a relationship with Jesse Lewis (28), who, despite the name, is a Japanese singer with the group SixTones.
The pair reportedly visited Las Vegas together this month. Lewis's father is from Las Vegas and the tabloids have interpreted this as meaning he took Ayase "home" to introduce her to his parents.
News about the relationship has had a mixed reaction from the public, some of whom are surprised at the age gap. However, we rarely blink twice if a male ...
The Japanese adult video industry loves to parody other cultural productions or topical events, as we have covered numerous times here.
Past examples include pastiches of Demon Slayer, Joker, and Ultraman.
These do go too far sometimes. One parody porn inspired by the DJ groping incident was ultimately not released, perhaps for fear of legal reprisals from the Korean celebrity's side. A porn based on a women's support group (and anti-feminist sentiment toward it by male netizens) was likewise very controversial last October.
The parody of the Maho Yamaguchi assault incident also had a ...
When we look back to those first generations of AKB48 in the late 2000s, it almost seems like carefree halcyon days when the nastiness of Japan's idol industry -- which we all knew was there -- was not the dominant talking point in the discourse, and everywhere we went we saw ads featuring the young ladies from the Akihabara supergroup.
Most of the members are now long gone from our lives, both those from the first "generation" and subsequent ones, with perhaps just a couple -- Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima -- succeeding at establishing real acting careers.
We always had a soft spot for slinky ...
Earlier in the year, we reported on former HKT48 idol Miku Tanaka's attempts to sex up her image and establish her credentials as an actor with a role in the TV drama Cinderella Complex that involved a steamy sex scene.
She stopped short of doing actual nudity, which doesn't surprise us, but Miku Tanaka seems to be continuing this strategy with a new shoot that is probably her most explicit to date.
She does the "hand bra" (tebura) pose, which has become a trope (and almost a cliché) of gravure semi-nude shoots. But who's complaining when the results look this good, with Miku Tanaka's ...
While catgirl fetish toys, manga, and costumes tend to get all the headlines, there's also plenty of other kemonomimi stuff out there catering for different kinds of furry fandom and creaturely tastes.
We are particularly partial to foxgirl content, which is while we took an immediate interest in Mofumofu Friends Furry Masturbator, a new release from Tama Toys and available internationally through our friends at Kanojo Toys.
The Mofumofu Friends Furry Masturbator is more or less what you expect from the title: a pocket pussy that is literally furry!
The fox fur is, of course, not actual fox ...
Who do porn stars like to date? And does intimacy with their romantic partners feel special or, as the British say, like taking a busman's holiday?
These are the kinds of questions that addle us to Tokyo Kinky.
We have seen ample evidence that Japanese porn stars like to date comedians and pop stars.
Shunka Ayami is apparently dating a singer, while Yua Mikami is or was allegedly dating two singers at once (well, it's hardly the first time that she's had more than one sexual partner at the same time).
AV stars to fall for comedians include Suzume Mino, Makoto Yuuki, and Runa ...
A 31-year-old Pakistani man has been arrested for sexual assault on a female high school student on a train near Takao, West Tokyo.
Muhammad Afzal is accused of sexually assaulting a schoolgirl as the second grader slept on a train on the JR Chuo Line in August, and then of taking her to a nearby copse and raping her.
According to a police statement reported in the media on Wednesday and Thursday, Muhammad Afzal groped the girl's chest and took her underwear off.
When the train reached Takao, where it terminated, Afzal allegedly took the girl's bag and then forcibly carried her to a ...
Former SKE48 idol Ruka Kitano has posed semi-nude for a series of lavishly shot pictures in her debut photo book
Released in Japan on September 11 and with a seaside and marine theme, Kitano's photo book is teasingly titled Want to Try Touching?.
Such semi-nude shoots and photo books have become common for the more adventurous music idols looking to boost their careers, but this one is especially sensual and revealing, with pretty much the whole of her body on display and her modesty only barely preserved by a crossed legs and crossed arms in the classic "hand bra" (tebura) ...
The actress and former idol Erina Nakazaki has appeared in what we think is her first nude scene.
Best known for her role in the Kamen Rider series, the 31-year-old appeared in Manji Reverse, which came out in Japan in May this year.
In the film, she rides a man as he lies helpless in his hospital bed. She is shown climbing on top, taking off her shirt and bra to reveal her breasts, while fucking him slowly in the cowgirl position, gradually getting faster and more turned on.
The film is about a love triangle between two men and a woman. It is yet another adaptation of Manji (aka ...
The former gravure idol and one-time political candidate Mari Takahashi has sadly died at the age of 27.
Her death was announced on September 9 and reported in the Japanese media today, though she died last week on September 4.
A graduate of the prestigious Keio University, Takahashi worked briefly as a gravure idol in around 2020 and also as a TV announcer and at an IT consultancy. She was also a finalist for the Miss Japan beauty contest.
She was briefly the official Democratic Party for the People candidate for a seat in a Tokyo constituency in the House of Representatives of Japan ...
