Paparazzi snaps of an idol with her boyfriend? No big deal, this is the usual kind of fodder that always fills the pages of the weeklies, right? But this time, there's an amusing, possibly kinky, catch. Reporters snapped AKB48 member Yuiri Murayama entering the condo of fellow AKB idol Nana Okada for the latter's birthday party late at night on November 6. The 25-year-old was with a man who many assume is her boyfriend. Netizens peered hard -- very hard -- at the box in the bag that Murayama's putative partner is carrying. And they think they've identified it. It just might well be ...

We love parody -- and so does both the Japanese adult toys industry and the porn industry. But when does spoofing go too far? The comedian/YouTuber Chikuwa, who has over 180,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel, was recently forced to apologize after she mocked the ex-porn star Kirara Asuka about having plastic surgery. The controversy started on November 14, when Chikuwa posted a video in which she did an impression of Kirara Asuka. The former adult video idol, however, was less than amused, and tweeted that she was beginning legal action. Chikuwa then responded with an apology video ...

In a sign that times are a-changing and probably a first for the industry, the Japanese adult brand Magic Eyes has teamed up with Onanist Take (pronounced like the Japanese surname, "Ta-key"), a popular amateur content creator on Pornhub, for two collaboration toys. "Hentais all over the world!" as the man says on his Pornhub page. "My name is Onanist Take and I am a professional Japanese onanist who seeks for the ways of the most intense pleasure in masturbation! I am creating movies for all my fans!" And now he's also creating lube. The Ten Days of Not Jerking Off Semen Lubricant is, as ...

To get us ready for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, which kicks off in Qatar on November 21, the lovely Yuno Ohara has dressed up in the Japanese soccer team's kit. The 23-year-old gravure idol poses in a soccer cosplay costume for a shoot included in the current issue of weekly magazine Spirits. And if soccer isn't your thing, rest assured that the shoot also included more conventionally sexy lingerie pics. There are hopes that Japan's Samurai Blue national team, which has its first match (against Germany) on November 23, can repeat its performance from 2018, when it reached the ...

The mayor of Nagoya, Takashi Kawamura, has been accused of making an inappropriate hand gesture when posing for a photo with young music idols. The head of Japan's fourth largest city, and a major industrial center, the 74-year-old mayor stood for a jocular pic with several attendees at a Korean cultural festival in Nagoya held on November 12 and 13. However, it was immediately noticed that he did the fig sign with his right hand. The image of the smiling Kawamura, surrounded by women decades younger (dressed in traditional Korean clothing), with his thumb between two fingers has caused a ...

Back in May, we reported on the arrests of the head of Japanese secondhand book store chain Mandarake and four of its employees over the sale of sexually explicit old photo books, which the chain apparently sold online and at two of its stores. Though "hair nude" photo books with full-frontal nudity have been produced and sold by mainstream publishers for decades, the books in question here were so-called "vinyl books," which are older and more obscure -- and less regulated. They constitute a kind of gray zone in terms of adult publications in Japan: hair nude books are "celebrity books" or ...

Everyone wants to be famous and everyone seems to think they can do it on YouTube. And so you get armies of wannabe YouTubers appearing daily, all vying for attention. What to click? What to search? But then you get some content which is truly worthy of your time. As always, the simpler the concept, the better. How does watching a beautiful girl walk around Tokyo with no bra sound? Enticing, right? To be accurate, she's nominally clothed, just braless underneath her top. And so we get the alluring, oddly calming delight of seeing her nipples poking through her clothing as she wanders ...

One of the biggest news stories last week, at least in our adult-flavored orbit, was the arrest of several people on allegations of organizing orgies in Tokyo. Five men and women are accused of holding swinger parties where members of the public would pay to have sex with each other. The charges related to breaches of the prostitution law: organizers are accused of prostituting the female attendees by recruiting them for the parties. It is reported that they made ¥650 million (the equivalent at current exchange rates of $4.6 million) in 10 years by holding over a dozen such events in a ...

A month's gone by and we wanted to update readers about Sayaka Nitori's photo book, Ribbon. Her debut print release (advertised as semi-nude) puts her amazing G-cup bust at the front and center of proceedings, though her slinky body and ass are not neglected either. Though not classified formally as a nude photo book, her nipples are nonetheless visible underneath her clothing or behind a gauze, and at least one ravishing shot shows her totally naked kneeling in the bath with her butt, bare back, side boob, and a bit of nipple on display. There's a similar follow-up shot with her lying in ...

The former idol Riona Yuki (結城りおな) who made TV appearances has launched an adult video career, changing her professional name to Alice Shinomiya (四宮ありす). Netizens are now scrambling to figure out if they ever caught her on TV. Screen grabs indicate that she did appear on certain shows, but did she leave much of an impression? (Japanese TV shows are notoriously overcrowded with celebrities all competing for attention.) Yuki reportedly belonged to Amuse, a major management agency for music idols and celebrities. It is a strange case that someone who was a guest on ...
