The music idol Sakina Tonchiki (頓知気さきな) has proved the oft-ignored magnitude of the underboob. Wearing a hoodie that would be illegal in many countries (though not as risky as the Virgin Killer Sweater), the 22-year-old member of the idol group femme fatale demonstrates that you can be ravishing without actually showing any actual breast or nipple. Why? The power of the underboob. In a shoot for a special mook put out in March by the female fashion magazine Larme, she has posed in cute panties and the underboob-and-stomach-revealing hoodie (essentially an upside-down U-shaped ...

MeToo has finally caught up to the Japanese film industry, with multiple allegations of assault and harassment against directors Hideo Sakaki and Sion Sono as well as actor Houka Kinoshita. Amid concerns over coercion in porn, politicians in Japan have been working on creating a legal exemption for adult video contracts to the newly lowered age of adulthood in Japan (from 20 to 18). Though the move, which was prompted by the realization that the legal change this spring would remove the safeguard for porn whereby underage performers required a parental guardian to sign for them, has enjoyed ...

Uber Eats (and similar services) has become a part of daily life in Tokyo, with its bike couriers often seen shuttling around the city making deliveries. You know that something is an established part of Japanese pop culture when it gets its own parody onahole. Plus it has inspired fantasies of hot girls bringing you your lunch and with a little something extra, courtesy of the revealing clothes they wear. This has practically launched the modeling career of Uber Eats delivery rider Yu Maria. Now the trope has another iteration: cosplay. Sexy Uber Eats cosplay is trending and the best ...

Toru Muranishi is probably Japanese porn's most notorious director and producer in. For years, a mythic figurehead of the excesses of the early years of the industry who lost it all, he is now known to audiences globally thanks to the Netflix show The Naked Director. We have all dreamed of having sex with as many women as Muranishi has. Now you can, sort of. The Nice Cup series of two onaholes recreates the sexual experiences of the legendary lover. Four years in the making, the two cup-style pocket pussy toys are based on the vaginas of Muranishi's 7,000 conquests. The two ...

The growing problem of syphilis in Japan is not new: we've been writing about it for years now. But it simples that it won't get better any time soon. Just when you think cases can't rise anymore or that the coronavirus pandemic would at least slow its relentless spread, along comes the latest batch of statistics to prove you wrong. We are only a quarter of the way through the year but number of cases of syphilis in Japan is already up yet again, reports the Mainichi. Compared to the same period last year -- whose overall figure reached a record high -- the number of syphilis cases has ...

A 40-year-old political candidate has allegedly fathered a child with a junior high school second grader. Masayuki Hiratsuka, who is the head of the Popular Sovereignty Party and advocates not wearing masks (quite something in a culture like Japan where wearing masks is already ingrained, especially during flu or pollen allergy seasons) and not getting the Covid vaccine, ran for governor of Tokyo in the July 2020 election with a striking campaign declaring that the "coronavirus is just a cold." Though he attracted a mere 0.15% of the vote, he has continued to campaign online on his YouTube ...

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police's chikan (molesting) app Digi Police (Digital Police) has won plaudits for recently leading to the arrest of a man in his fifties, who was allegedly groping the body of a young girl on a crowded train. The incident happened on the morning of April 15 on a train running between Saitama and Tokyo. A girl in her teens used the app to notify that she was being groped. Chikan is a notoriously serious problem on public transport in Japan. Frequently, trains are so crowded that a victim of chikan cannot move and is unable to identify who is molesting them. In this ...

One of the fascinations of this blog is with the afterlives of idols, whether music, gravure, or porn. What do the hordes of women do after their (frequently brief) moment in the spotlight is over? Kizuna Sakura was active in adult video from 2014 to 2020. Now aged 32, she has begun the next stage of her left and career by opening a Niigata-themed ramen restaurant in December 2020 in Tokyo's Suginami ward. She funded her enterprise through an ambitious crowdfunding campaign, which included such perks as a one-on-one talk and even a "fake wedding ceremony" and one-night stay at a hot spring ...

A reader recently chided us for not writing about the Yumi Sugimoto's return to gravure (though we did post pics on tumblr). The truth is, even with "gravure comebacks," there are simply too many idols to keep track of, let alone write about in detail on these digital pages. But here's one comeback that is certainly worthy of note. Yuka Hirata (38) made a very welcome return to our lives with her first Weekly Playboy gravure shoot in 14 years, first published in the March 19 issue of the magazine. Now on the cusp of 40 and steeped in jukujo territory like a finely aged wine, the former ...

It was surely inevitable. We all know that used panties is an infamous and genuine fetish in Japan (and elsewhere, of course), whose needs are served by various products sold by major companies as well as individuals hoping to make a quick yen. Face masks were already a big part of people's lives in Japan even pre-pandemic, especially during flu or pollen allergy seasons. But now they are almost part of our daily uniform and one that is unlikely to go away any time soon. This has cultivated a new strain of fetish, it seems: used face masks, especially those worn by attractive women. As ...
