Japan, the land of countless otaku, all passionate about a niche fandom. Also Japan, the land of a thousand fetishes -- including some you didn't know existed. Like the humble raincoat. Sure, latex-style clothing is a must for bondage fans. Who doesn't love the look and feel of tight rubber gear on a sexy body? But we're talking basic rain protection here. What's so hot about it? Well, in the case of one particular man in Osaka, a lot. So much so that he stole 360 women's raincoats -- and must now face the consequences for it. Yoshida Yoda is not, despite the name, a wizened Jedi living a ...

The South Korean film Serve the People (Inmineul Wihae Bongmuhara), which was released domestically in February 2022, is set in the 1970s in a fictional version of North Korea. Though billed as a romantic drama, it is quite erotic and features several explicit sex scenes. In the best, the 38-year-old Ji An, the female lead, holds a soldier at gunpoint while standing completely nude. He then kisses her and she sits on the bed, showing closeup nudity. He begins to kiss her whole body and goes down on her, prompting her to arch her back in pleasure. He then penetrates her and they have sex on ...

Earlier this year, a new law was passed with major implications for how adult video productions are made and released in Japan. The legislation gives performers a lot more say over their contract, allowing them to withdraw even after signing a contract and to cancel a contract after a production is completed and released. Producers must also allow a cooling-off period after a contact is signed and after a video is shot, to give performers the chance to change their minds, and provide very detailed instructions on the nature of the shots and activities expected. One type of AV not covered by ...

In the wake of a major typhoon sweeping through, as is often the case in late September, the weather in Tokyo has cooled off quite a bit and we find ourselves almost overnight confronted by the reality that the summer is over for another year. Sure, the days are still bright and you can just about get by with just a T-shirt, but those weekends at the beach or pool, those scantily clad ladies on the streets, and those firework festivals and kakigori stalls? Put them aside for another year. Fortunately, autumn offers plenty of great food and things to look forward to -- plus, our friends at ...

We mentioned earlier this month about the long-awaited follow-up adult video release by Yotsuha Kominato (Rikako Inoue), the former Fairies music idol. The singer's second AV (1stars00715), which sees Kominato co-star with top male porn performer Shimiken for one of the sexual encounters, comes in the wake of a hugely publicized porn debut in June. Produced and released again by SODstar, the JAV title has now hit the market and the first screen grabs indicate that her slender, pale-skinned body is working overtime once more. If these images entice you, put some yen down on the table to buy ...

Sumire Yokono suddenly left NMB48 in May 2021 -- shortly after a report broke that went to a hotel with a male celebrity twice her age. Even more shockingly, she was also spotted on a date (six days later) with yet another boyband member, with who she also spent the night at an expensive hotel. The resulting scandal sunk her NMB future. After a year off, the 21-year-old relaunched her career in May this year. Su-chan is now trying to go it on her own (with a little help from a major modeling agency). She is carving out a career as a gradol and model, and is succeeding: three gravure cover ...

We have spilled much digital ink on this blog talking about what happens to idols from AKB48 and its sister groups, taking an interest (for obvious reasons) especially in the young ladies who go on to have careers in porn. But what about those same singers-turned-porn stars after they are done with their adult video careers? For some, it's a short stint in the competitive world of JAV. For others, like Yua Mikami, they enjoy years at the very top of the industry. But all things must come to an end. What do they do next? Well, in the case of former AKB48 idol Risa Naruse (who worked in JAV ...

The Japanese romance film Usotsuki Paradox (sometimes Usotsuki Paradokusu, or Liar Paradox) stars Nami Motoyama (本山なみ) and features a number of explicit nude scenes. Though the film is now almost 10 years old, we wanted to highlight some of these. They include a nude bathing scene between Motoyama's character and her lover, and then a length bed sex scene where her lover goes down on her. They are then shown having sex while she sits in his lap with her legs over his shoulders (athletic!) as well as in missionary and from behind while she lies on her front (and grabs the bed in ...

A new survey has found that an increasing number of people in Japan aged 18-34 don't expect to get married. The results of the government-affiliated National Institute of Population and Social Security's 2021 survey of 7,862 people, published earlier this month, show that 17.3% of men and 14.6% of women aged between 18 and 34 claimed to have no intention of marrying. This is the highest such figure since the questionnaire was first conducted in 1982. Back in the mid-1980s, at the peak of the confident bubble economy years, the numbers were just 2.3% for men and 4.1% for women. The ...

The slinky Sayaka Nitori is one of the most popular gravure idols of the moment and enjoys a following especially on social media (to the cool tune of a million followers on Instagram). In fact, she's known as an Instagram gravure pioneer, launching her account in late 2016 and then making her formal debut in gravure in 2018. After years of anticipation, the 28-year-old is releasing her first photo book, Ribbon, on September 28, and has finally shown us her nipples. Kind of. Those titties are unfortunately still covered by her clothing, but the amazing outline of her pert nipples of her ...
