Japanese adult video often pushes the envelope, gamely taking on themes and subject matters ordinarily considered unsuitable or out of bounds for porn. It's one of the reasons the industry is so creative and broad in Japan. Some people, though, are speculating if this example is not going too far -- or simply too eager to test the limits of taste and fetish as to render it unappealing to most audiences. Plus ça change! A new porn release directed by Migiwa Ota and staring Mai Kagari seems, some are saying, more like a kind of horror movie. The behind-the-scenes pictures, at any ...

Now this is what we call going out with a bang. Top Japanese adult video star Shoko Takahashi has retired from porn, as announced in April, and released her final title (MIDV-099) this month. Of course, JAV is more than just videos, and Takasho has also put out an array of tie-in toys over the years, from onaholes to lubes and even vibrators. To complement her last ever porn release, she has teamed up with top adult brand EXE to produce the Japanese Real Oppai Shoko Takahashi Breasts. Given that Takasho's greatest asset is her chest, and her unusual inverted nipples, this is a no-brainer ...

The relatively little-known actress Kurumi Nakayama (中山来未) has several nude scenes in the aptly titled Naked Angel: The Red Room, a film released in Japan in 2021 and based on a short story by Edogawa Ranpo. There are several sex scenes, including one in a public restroom, and other scenes that apparently required Nakayama to be nude, though the final one has a bloody end involving a pair of scissors. The slim and slinky, modestly chested Nakayama shows off a lot of her body in these scenes, including a shot of her anus as she leans over her lover in the cowgirl ...

We fondly remember the days when it was relatively easy to visit happening bars. Sadly, those times when such establishments were widely known and could be frequented in central areas like Shinjuku or Shibuya now feel distant, largely due to a police crackdown that closed many down or scared others off. Further proof that the police won't tolerate businesses that allow members of the public to have sex with each other appeared this month. Media reported on May 9 that police had busted a Shibuya happening bar called Sleeping Beauty. An incredible eleven separate police districts as well ...

Yuka Kuramochi has returned to gravure with her first shoot since she gave birth to a child in 2021. Kuramochi, who is married to a very successful esports player, chose to make a splash with her comeback.

Shibari, the Japanese art of rope bondage, is a sexual subculture, something confined to certain clubs and establishments, right? Wrong. As one event proved, shibari (also known as kinbaku) is also very visible in the streets of Tokyo. On May 7, Hajime Kinoko, probably the most successful and well-known shibari rope artist in Japan, created an outdoor installation on the walls of a venue in Cat Street, a shopping street in Harajuku, central Tokyo. The installation involved him and his team suspending five female models (one of whom was Lisa M, aka Lisa Mizuno) in shibari positions on the ...

As reported recently on this blog, one of the unexpected outcomes of the coronavirus pandemic has been how the ubiquity of face masks has merged with an existing fetish for used underwear to beget a whole new brand of the adult market: used face masks. However, though schoolgirls and housewives are apparently benefitting financially from the demand, some have warned that used face masks carry serious hygiene risks. Japanese social media, especially Twitter, offers plenty of examples of used masks for sale, sometimes with "kiss marks." Posters tend to include photos of the stains from ...

Former Morning Musume idol Miki Fujimoto these days does a bit of acting and appears on television shows as a tarento. Now aged 37 and married with two children, Mikitty is back in the news again because she went on a radio show on April 30 and mentioned that she was previously offered to do a nude photo book after she left the idol group in 2007. Unlike fellow Morning Musume alumni Asuka Fukuda and Maki Goto, she turned down the offer. The proposed photo book would not have been a hair nude, full-frontal style, but apparently was to be shot from behind in a more sophisticated way. Fans ...

Just when you thought you'd seen and tried everything Tenga has to offer, along comes the Apple of the adult industry with another great masturbation toy to prove that there is still so much more to explore about self-pleasure aids. Returning to a somewhat simpler design that recalls the Tenga Eggs or Tenga 3D, the Tenga Bobble forgoes the elaborate casing of the Flip Hole series or the outer cup of the Tenga Cup toys, and puts the focus squarely on the inner contours of the gel sleeve. The masturbator is currently available in two, brilliantly named versions: Crazy Cubes or Magic ...
