The model, singer, and actress Mariya Nishiuchi has made a foray into gravure with a bikini cover shoot for the current issue of Weekly Playboy, which went on sale in Japan on Monday. As the weather turns well and truly wintry here in Tokyo, it may seem a peculiar choice to have Mariya in a sexy bikini and emerging from the sea, her body dripping. (Where and when did they do the shoot? Given the travel restrictions, surely somewhere in Japan, but it's chilly even down south in Okinawa right now, so it must have been a few weeks ago.) Still, it's got us dreaming of summer -- not to mention ...

There are weird films. And then there are weird films. Japanese cinema has previously produced such masterpieces as the Hentai Kamen. And now comes the latest offering from Shin'ichiro Ueda, the director of sleeper hit One Cut of the Dead. From the poster and trailer, Popran appears to be a comedy-horror film about a penis that apparently detaches itself from a man's body and flies around, hitting and killing people. Yes, it's Attack of the Killer Flying Cock. As if there weren't enough things to fear in the air right now with the new variants threatening to deplete the Greek ...

We wrote a few weeks ago about the exciting news that music idol Maki Goto is making a comeback (after taking a break to get married and have two kids -- and allegedly having an affair). The former Morning Musume member has relaunched her music career with live concerts, and is building her profile and fandom again through an active YouTube output. Even better, she's releasing a photo book, "ramus," on November 29 from Kodansha. It's her first in 10 years. And from the previews we've seen, "ramus" clearly harks back to her time as a girl-next-door cutie who once did lingerie shoots and a ...

It takes a lot to stand out amid a crowd, and this love hotel just did it. Shibuya's Dogenzaka is famously jam-packed with love hotels and they use garish colors and strange names to attract the attention of potential guests. That said, most are pretty tame in terms of the exterior design: with some exceptions (like the castle-themed Meguro Emperor, for instance, or some of the wacky places in Namba and Nipponbashi, Osaka), the hotels with really outlandish architecture and surreal rooms are mostly located in more rural or suburban regions. As recently spotted and shared by Twitter user ...

Japanese porn's inventive penchant for parody is well documented on the pages of this blog. Past examples include Demon Slayer, Joker, and Weathering with You. The latest to catch our attention is a parody of Tokyo Revengers, a franchise that has spawned a bestselling manga series, TV anime series, and recent live-action film adaptation. Starring Akari Mitani (who recently got her own clone masturbator toy!), the 152-minute release (HMN00077) from Honnaka is directed by Nao Masaki and came out November 23 in Japan. Like the original series, the AV has a time travel premise. Akari has ...

Actress and gravure idol Manami Shindo (新藤まなみ) has taken her career to the next stage with another nude photo shoot and her first image DVD release in four years. The 29-year-old, who was briefly a reporter for TBS in 2014 and can apparently speak five languages, also released a digital photo book earlier in the year. As an actress, her appearances include an episode of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (from the Super Sentai tokusatsu franchise). She did an onsen-themed nude shoot for weekly magazine Friday over two issues back in April, showing off her naked back and butt, and wet ...

Ex-Nogizaka46 idol Ami Nojo has a sex scene in the second season of the drama The Night I Became a Beast (Watashi ga kemono ni natta yoru), which began streaming on Abema Premium this month. The 27-year-old was a member of Nogizaka46 from 2011 to 2018, but now focuses on acting. Fans will be happy about seeing Ami Nojo's nude back and the scenes of her in her underwear, though anyone looking for actual nudity or more explicit scenes of her will go away disappointed. It seems she, or her management, isn't ready to cross that line yet. The anthology series The Night I Became ...

What kind of female bust do you like? It's a question we often ponder in various ways for far too long each day. Apparently, we're not alone and a lingerie company in Osaka even went so far as to do an online survey to find out the answer. In mid-September, Maruko asked 800 people, even spread across their twenties, thirties, forties, and fifties, and half men and half women. Despite what gravure idols and adult video might have you believe, it's not as simple as guys always want huge breasts (in fact, we're written before about how trends show that Japanese men like smaller breasts, ...

Fans of former NMB48 (and AKB48) idol Miyuki Watanabe are in for a real treat. The cute idol, who left NMB48 in 2016, previously delighted us with her lingerie shoot for Peach John in 2020. The year before that, her photo book featured semi-nude shots of her with her arms held against her chest. This latest photo shoot is a similar kind of semi-nude wonder, with the 28-year-old turned to look alluringly at the camera, her arm covering her modest breasts, and showing off plenty of bare back and leg. The shoot is for the current (December) issue of fashion and beauty magazine Bijin Hyakka. ...
