Top Japanese porn star Suzume Mino to marry comedian Akihiro Tabuchi?

Happy New Year to all our readers.
We begin 2023 with some pleasant news -- or perhaps disappointing tiding to certain fans.
According to news reports, the prominent Japanese porn star Suzume Mino is to marry the comedian Akihiro Tabuchi.
Tabuchi (37), of the comedy duo Indians, will apparently tie the knot with Suzume Mino some time during 2023, according to news reports on January 1.
Their courtship is not news per se. It emerged in the summer that the two were dating, as reported on this blog.
Mino is now 26. She made her debut in 2019 and is wildly popular for her G-cup breasts. We ...
Our good friends at Kanojo Toys are now running a sale for New Year, offering 20% off any order through January 4. Just use the promo code "Happy" to claim your discount.
We figured now was also a good time to take a look back at the year's slate of toys.
And what a year. Frankly, there were so many toys we couldn't keep up. By our count, Kanojo Toys alone added over 2,700 products!
Some of our favorites include the new series from Tenga, the Tenga Bobble, a gel-type masturbator.
One of the most striking and original toys came out toward the end of 2022: the Grasp Heart Masturbator by ...
Ex-AKB48 Mariko Shinoda accused of adultery, contact with former AKS president handling male escorts

This is a story that's been bubbling along in the background for a while and has now come more fully to light.
Mariko Shinoda, the celebrity once one of the big original stars of AKB48, is locked in a legal battle with her estranged husband over the custody rights to their child.
Shinoda graduated AKB48 in 2013 and got married in autumn 2019 to a man she had been dating for just a few months. In April 2020, she gave birth. She became something of a model of motherhood, devoting her Instagram to pictures of her parenting. This all seemed to stop in summer this year amid a tranche of ...
As always, the year saw a lot of new porn stars make their debuts in the Japanese adult video industry. Some of the most prominent ones were featured here on these digital pages, though even we struggled to keep up with the sheer number of new talent arriving on the scene.
Here is a list of some of our favorites and highlights from 2022, in no particular order.

Man arrested for pouring urine on female train passenger

'Tis the season for giving, they say, but perhaps this 31-year-old Japanese man took that custom a little far -- and very much in the wrong direction.
Kyosuke Katsu, a company employee in Gamagori, Aichi, was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage after he poured urine on the clothing of a fellow passenger on a train.
According to police and media reports, Katsu used a straw to squirt or pour urine onto the clothing of a 32-year-old woman who was sitting in front of him while the train was traveling from Okazaki Station to Gamagori Station at around 11 o'clock at night on December ...
Visiting the love hotel with a private water slide

Things get wet in love hotel rooms. That goes without saying, presuming you're doing your job right.
But what about wet as in watery wet? No, we're not just talking about enjoying a soak in a bath together.
Among the myriad facilities and attractions at Japan's colorful love hotels, this is perhaps the most elaborate we have heard of: Hotel Regent Odaka in Nagoya has its own private water slide for guests. Elaborate -- or crazy?!
These traveling YouTubers recently stayed at the hotel and filmed their exploits (all safe for work, we should add).
You can climb up the stairs to the top of ...
Ai Shinozaki continues comeback with semi-nude bathing shoot
December 22, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Ai Shinozaki made a gravure comeback initially in late 2021 and then again in early 2022, and the resulting semi-nude photo book was one of the highlights of the year.
Now aged 30, the famously busty (bakunyu) babe is a very welcome re-entry in our orbit. (In fact, she had been absent so long we presumed she had retired from gravure and entertainment.)
Her 2022 photo book was about as nude as it's possible to be without actually showing tits or ass (besides hints of her butt and plenty of side boob).
She's not resting on her laurels, it seems. Her latest shoot continues her gravure ...
Sex scenes from low-budget bondage movie Shodo (Impulse)
December 21, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
In our quest to bring readers the latest updates on sex and nude scenes, we spent some time watching the little-known Japanese movie Shodo (Impulse), a low-budget, bondage-themed erotic film released in Japan in late 2021.
The Shibuya-set film, which purports to show the love lives of young people in Tokyo, has several nude scenes, including a particularly nice one where Uri Suzuki in a threesome with two guys on a bed in a love hotel. Suzuki pours alcohol over her breasts.
In another POV-shot scene, Suzuki is giving a guy a blowjob while he is restrained on the bed.
In ...
An interview with kinbaku rope master Steve Osada
December 20, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
"Shibari is 90% emotional. The other half is technical."
Following our earlier article about Steve Osada's online Japanese rope bondage learning platform, Kinbaku Academy, we sat down with the rope master for a conversation about his career and the state of shibari/kinbaku today.
Steve Osada (also often referred to using the Japanese name order, Osada Steve) inherited the Osada name in 2001 from grandmaster Eikichi Osada when he died. They had first met in 1998 for a photo shoot and Steve eventually started helping the grandmaster with his weekly shows as a pulley operator. The rest, as ...
Yui Kitamura nude sex scenes in remote island cult movie Believers
December 19, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
The Japanese actress Yui Kitamura (北村優衣) has a few decent nude scenes in the 2022 movie Believers.
The 23-year-old beauty shows her breasts and a bit of butt in several scenes, including some quite explicit sex scenes. We love her pale skin and breasts -- not only their shape but also the nipples and areolae. And if you like a slightly larger ass, which is sadly rare among many Japanese or East Asian women, Yui Kitamura is quite voluptuous.
The film, which is adapted from the Naoki Yamamoto manga, came out in Japan in the summer to relatively little fanfare and passed by under our ...
