We think the Japanese adult industry has a thing for Makoto Shinkai.
The anime director's work has served as inspiration for toys and porn.
In addition to a porn parody starring Ayane Suzukawa, Your Name. was reimagined as an onahole a few years ago by Tama Toys, soon followed by yet another pocket pussy by a different maker.
Shinkai's next anime, Weathering With You, was the source for Tama Toys' aptly named bondage-themed Toilet Bowl With You Onahole.
It also inspired an adult video called Pussy with You, starring Aoi Kururugi, plus an "ejaculation app" called Masturbation with ...
Japanese capsule toys are a cornucopia of choice and variety. There seems to be no end to the objects that pop out from the thousands of vending machines found at stores, train stations, and tourist destinations.
What's still often surprising, though, are the eyebrow-raising subject matters of certain toys.
Last year, for instance, we reported on the miniature vibrator capsule toys.
Slightly less risqué but just as awesome are these love hotel-inspired capsule toys. For a mere ¥300, you can get your own love hotel room key.
We have yet to spot these in the wild -- might we find the ...
Hot on the heels of the revelations over Mariko Shinoda's marital problems, allegedly caused by her infidelity, comes news of the nuptial dilemmas of another former AKB48 idol.
Kana Kobayashi is now aged 31 and seemed to have it all. Last March, she announced that she had married a famous investor and given birth to a child.
But then on January 16, she announced on social media that she was already divorced.
In fact, her husband had "another wife." If that wasn't bad enough, he was arrested in October on charges of investment fraud, sparking an online backlash against her.
Her husband ...
In mid-January, Japan is gripped by a short, sharp season: it's the time of the college entrance exam.
Up and down the country, high school students sat down last weekend for the exam that will determine which university they will go to from the spring.
But there's another factor involved in the exam: chikan. This, as regular readers will know, is the Japanese word for groping or molesting, especially if done on public transport like trains.
What's the connection between the exam season and train groping? Apparently, in the darker corners of social media and the internet where chikan folk ...
The Punitto Real is a series of softly textured, realistic dildos by Japanese adult brand PPP. These are generally handheld cock toys with suction cups, but a new entry in the series radically changes the whole format -- and lets you ride it to heaven and back.
The Punitto Real Dildo Large Flatbed Cock Dildo boasts a design that we reckon should become a standard for others in the industry.
The flexible erect penis protrudes from the slender body of the base. You can stroke and hold the subtly shaped penis, fingering its cute little glans and veins, or the balls that are integrated ...
It's a dangerous thing to make your gravure debut in this day and age, when netizens have so many tools and resources at their disposal to do research on your background.
And so when the comely Rio Niita's (新田りお) gravure debut was announced with some fanfare, including an image video DVD release before she had even appeared in the usual gravure magazines, people got interested.
Who is she? Where did she suddenly spring from?
And the rumors are that the 19-year-old model already has a secret past career in porn.
Like most such "image videos," her new DVD (out January 25) ...
We're taking an interest in Korean series lately -- a purely professional one, natch!
We loved the very explicit sex scenes in Somebody on Netflix and even Squid Game found time for a sex scene in between all the blood and violence.
Released in December, Big Bet is available on Disney+ in certain territories and Hulu in the United States. It stars film star Choi Min-sik as a Korean casino king in the Philippines.
Son Eun-seo plays a former flight attendant who is now a hotel manager in the casino in the Philippines. She has a great sex scene in episode five of the K-drama.
There's not ...
In one of our (sadly) increasingly rare trips to the movie theater, especially the arthouse cinemas known as "mini theaters" in Japan, we saw a trailer for this movie that deals with a subject very close to our hearts.
Goodbye, Bad Magazines is about the impact of the removable of adult magazines from convenience stores, as one of the ways in which Tokyo tried to clean up its image ahead of the 2020 Olympics. As we know, it was all for naught since the Olympics were delayed by a year and then held without spectators, and at a time in which almost no one except citizens could even enter the ...
The head of the city assembly of Maizuru, a city in the north of Kyoto Prefecture, was fined for possession of child pornography. The fine was issued in 2019 but has only just come to light.
On January 6, Keiichi Tai announced his intention to resign as council speaker and assemblymember at a press conference held at Maizuru City Hall.
The 53-year-old, a member of Liberal Democratic Party and speaker for the municipal assembly in Maizuru, was fined ¥300,000 for violating the child pornography law. He had possessed four DVDs with content designated as child porn.
They were found at his ...
We have written before about the massive impact the new porn law is having on the Japanese adult video industry.
But here's a positive impact -- well, kind of. It's a good example of how the adult video industry is always quick to respond to recent events and exploit it as material for its output. And as is often the case, it does this in a parodic way.
In a new release (scheduled to come out January 20), the controversial AV law serves as the whole basis for the plot!
In the AV from Faleno Tube (1MFO00003), the premise is that the female performer has canceled at the last moment "due to ...
