Singer and actor Koki Tanaka accused of sending masturbation videos
June 15, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
The trial of former KAT-TUN member Koki Tanaka over possession of drugs has now begun in Nagoya. The 36-year-old musician and actor, who was a member of the boy band until 2013 and then a solo artist, has admitted the charge of methamphetamine possession.
Nagoya police arrested in February this year. It follows his previous brush with the law in 2017, when he was charged with marijuana possession.
But there's another "crime" that the Weekly Bunshun uncovered (in an article first published in February this year).
Tanaka was apparently affected mentally by the pandemic and being unable to go ...
When desire overheats: Fire at dinosaur love hotel
June 14, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Remember the awesome dinosaur-themed love hotel in Machida, Tokyo, we wrote about last autumn? It looks like it was seriously damaged by fire recently.
On the evening of June 9, flames were seen coming from the roof of the dino-inspired Hotel Artia, making it look even more like a scene from Jurassic Park than it did before. Social media was flooded with pics taken from cars traveling along the nearby expressway.
The cause was reportedly the wooden sauna located on the roof of the hotel.
No injuries or fatalities resulted from the fire. Moreover, no damage to the main structure of the ...
Magic Eyes (or Magic eyes as the brand stylizes itself) is one of the best names in Japanese adult toys for the quality of both its toys and box art.
Other than a few vibrators and lubricants, the former mostly comprise hentai masturbator toys. We are fine with the brand not really branching out much if it continues to produce toys like these three latest arrivals, which we were introduced to by our friends at Kanojo Toys, your top source for buying all things adult about Japan.
The Sujiman Kupa series is now 10 years old, which makes us feel ancient because we remember when it first ...
Japanese politician accused of papakatsu with 18-year-old

Papakatsu, the buzzword that refers to compensated dating for sugar daddies, is in the news again.
Takeru Yoshikawa, a politician with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, has been accused of drinking with an 18-year-old girl.
House of Representatives member Yoshikawa, who is 40 but frankly looks a but older (perhaps it's the jowls), has a wife and two daughters. He was photographed arriving with the girl at a high-end hotel in the Odaiba bay district of Tokyo in late May.
According to the scoop in News Post Seven (that includes 46 pictures!), he and the girl arrived, checked in, and then ...
Ex-porn star Anri Sakaguchi announces marriage to transgender man
June 9, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Here's that rare thing: a happy ending.
Anri Sakaguchi was initially famous for, well, being famous. She was the daughter of an actress, and gained some celebrity at an early age, joining the entertainment world in the late 2000s.
But financial debts forced her into porn, and she debuted in 2016 for Muteki, and went on to star in several AV titles (going by the name Anri). She also did at least one nude photo shoot during this time.
After retiring from porn, Sakaguchi (whose real name is Mizue Nozawa) ran into some trouble with the law, being arrested twice: once for attempting to exhort ...
Maki Makie, the nude self-portraits photographer making a splash in her fifties
June 8, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Maki Makie (マキエマキ) has been working since the early 1990s as a freelance commercial photographer.
Now aged 56, she gained a whole new following when she began taking self-portraits in 2015 and repositioning herself as a "selfie jukujo" (自撮り熟女) model.
This fame has had some unexpected consequences, as she revealed in a long interview with Bunshun.
Her self-portraits revel in a Showa-era atmosphere. Often shot in sketchy or remote locations (like old, rundown resorts or empty shopping streets), they mix humor with the erotic. She is currently exhibiting her work in ...
What happens to your assets if you divorce your wife for compensated dating?
June 7, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Our post yesterday featuring the confessions of a foreign female about compensated dating in Tokyo led us to this case study (from early 2021) on legal website Bengo4, which sets out to answer a curious question: What happens to your assets if you divorce your wife for compensated dating?
According to the author (a lawyer), an aggrieved husband consulted him about divorcing his wife, who had been caught doing compensated dating.
Apparently, starting from around the time they got married, his wife was meeting another man around two times a month and having sex with him. For these dates, she ...
Confessions of a foreign female about compensated dating in Japan
June 6, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
We stumbled upon this confessional post on Amina du Jean's Substack, billed as "a digital temple for positive femininity." The title, "Crazy Sexy Tokyo," is provocative and sounds like another "wacky Japan" story at first, but we were especially intrigued to read the author's insights into compensated dating (enjo kosai).
Writing about her personal experiences of participating in this social "custom" of young women, in which they go on dates with (older) men and receive monetary "compensation" for their troubles, the author is very candid and doesn't resort to the more obvious ...
An interview with ex-porn star Kaho Shibuya
June 3, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
The former Japanese adult video star Kaho Shibuya recently sat down for a candid and insightful interview with Tokyo Weekender, where she talked about her porn career and subsequent work.
Kaho Shibuya (not to be confused with similarly busty former gravure idol Yuri Shibuya) has actually had a lot of jobs in her time, including a baseball reporter, English teacher, and adult toy reviewer.
It was this last job that led to her four-year stint in JAV. As she outlines in her cautionary book about the industry, Everything Girls Should Know About the JAV Industry, her agency pushed her into ...
