Asuka Hanamura (華村あすか) has continued with the wet, semi-nude streak she started in early 2022. Following on from her first photo book, the actress is back with another lingerie and bikini shoot that showcases her slinky body. The 23-year-old Yamagata native is known for her alluring mole and sun-kissed skin. In her new photo book, which comes out on March 18 from Kodansha, she is seen in the shower holding her hands over her nude chest (a variant on the tebura "hand bra" pose that's a gravure standard), or lying on her front with her naked back on display. Alright, ...

Somewhat strangely and belatedly, this has become a controversial topic this month. The popular porn star Eimi Fukada had to backtrack with an apology after she attracted opprobrium for asserting that men should pay for women on dates, since the latter investing a lot of time and money into preparing for the date. And then former AKB48 idol Mai Oshima weighed in, saying during a livestream on her YouTube channel that she wouldn't go to a party or dinner where the guys weren't paying. Japanese dating app Omiai conducted a poll in August 2022 of 217 men and 247 women -- all of whom have a ...

It seems that everyone is using AI these days to make art, photos, and even essays. The results are often very impressive. Perhaps even worrying. But here's some AI that's really worth getting excited about. Kanyon Industries, which seems to be based in Hong Kong, posts examples of AI art featuring sexy cosplayers -- all digitally rendered, of course. Heavily influenced by Japanese sources, it was inevitable that the results would strike big among Japanese netizens (as in, almost 31 million views and counting for this one tweet). People say that AI still struggles with hands but ...

Welcome back, Nanao, it's been a while. Far too long. The mononymous actress known for her long legs has spent several years on TV, but we still have very fond memories of her stunning photo book 1028_24, which made her legs famous back in 2012, and her sexy Anan magazine cover shoot from shortly after. In the early 2010s, in between roles in TV dramas where she was almost always cast as a mean type, she seemed determined to push things as far as they could go, blurring the line between gravure and fashion modeling. Divine is Nanao's first photo book in 10 years. Shot on the island of ...

The national age of consent in Japan is 13 -- an age that many find surprisingly low. Japan is mulling raising the age of consent, according to media reports. A justice ministry panel last Friday proposed a major overhaul of sex crime legislation that would include raising the age to 16, along with clarifying rape prosecution requirements and criminalizing voyeurism (strangely, it's currently not illegal to secretly film someone for sexual purposes). This is not a new discussion. There are regular calls to raise the age of consent in Japan, which has not changed since 1907. In 2019, a ...

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.

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 ...
