The Lower House election in Japan was held on Sunday -- yes, Halloween. The populace elected a bunch of ghouls and monsters to represent them.
One person who failed in their first bid to win a seat was the former gravure idol Chisato Morishita. Now aged 40 and still looking great, Morishita was trying to get elected in Miyagi as a candidate backed by the conservative LDP (who won the election overall). She got 61,410 votes (the ultimate winner got 81,033 votes, securing their ninth continuous term).
As we reported earlier in the year, she has been campaigning since the spring. (In Japan, ...
We normally find ourselves writing with glee about Japanese adult video's penchant for parody, in which the industry often reacts very quickly to events and cultural phenomena with pastiche porn par excellence.
But this time, JAV was beaten to the punch by porn makers in Taiwan.
Netflix's Korean hit Squid Game, whose sex scenes we have written about, has now inspired a porn rip-off on the East Asian island nation.
Details are slim, though news about the upcoming porn release is spreading online for the past week or so. With the original drama's themes of punishment and torture, it's ripe ...
There are those times when you go, "Oh, THAT person." And suddenly it all makes sense where you have seen someone before.
Mayu Ura (浦まゆ) is not a name that many, if any, people knew. But her face was familiar from a lot of adverts -- and frankly, some pretty striking, even downright weird, ones.
The 29-year-old is appearing in several commercials, with current contracts with 10 brands.
Well, she may struggle to land major advertising deals now, since she's taken a new step in her career with a nude gravure shoot for a Weekly Playboy (with an accompanying digital photo book). ...
The Korean TV show everyone is talking about and streaming is Squid Game but there's plenty more out there, especially because Netflix is heavily investing in Korean content.
One of them is My Name, which stars Han So-hee and Park Hee-see. It's a dark crime drama about a woman who joins a gang to avenge her father's death, and ends up going undercover in the police.
We were pleased to find it contained this sex scene with 26-year-old Han So-hee and Ahn Bo-hyun, though you have wait until the final episode for it. Alright, the most you get to see is some side boob and back, so this isn't ...
It's been a long, long wait, but one of our all-time favorites idols is back. Sure, she's older and wiser. Yet boy, does she still look great.
Former Morning Musume idol Maki Goto has been relatively quiet these past years, though launched a YouTube account in April 2020. The content of the videos is mostly pretty banal (trying food, makeup tips, etc.), but it was the first main indication that she was making a comeback. What has she been doing in the time since she left Morning Musume? In 2015, she married and started a family. She now has two children, though she admitted to having had an ...
We have by now learned to accept the innate contradiction that exists at the heart of Japanese porn: that the country has one of the largest, most varied industries in the world, and yet it also adheres to an interpretation of a century-plus-old obscenity law that says you cannot show genitalia. Hence JAV always has "mosaic" -- pixellation of the penis and vagina.
We have gotten used to this and no longer find it distracting, nor do we think it actually obscures the really important stuff (i.e., the beautiful face and body of the porn star).
Others, though, disagree and there exist ...
In previous years, we would enjoy the Halloween season for all the stories it would bring from the Shibuya cosplay street party, where thousands of young people dressed up in revealing costumes and had fun. The pandemic has ended that, though the authorities were already cracking down even before due to some minor unrest in 2018 involving an overturned truck.
So, how to console ourselves? Well, with some costumes of course. But also staying home, alone or with a partner, and having fun with Japanese adult toys.
Don't get scary this year. Get sexy.
Even better, our friends at Kanojo Toys -- ...
Comedian Sanma Akashiya is up to his old tricks again, if reports in the Japanese media are to be believed. Known for his success with the ladies even in his fifties and sixties, Akashiya has previously been linked with porn stars Eririka Katagiri and Makoto Yuuki.
Now comes a report that Akashiya, who is 66, took out porn star Kana Momonogi for dinner, ostensibly to "celebrate her success." He was an admirer and got connected with the 24-year-old through a personal contact.
The result was an intimate dinner between just the two of them for two and a half hours. So if you're rich, famous, ...
Golf has long been big in Japan, though it's still mainly a man's sport. The recent rise of female golfers have leveled the playing field somewhat -- not to mention made stars (and sex symbols) of certain players like Hinako Shibuno.
Following swiftly on from the sexy shoot by fellow golfer (and thirtysomething jukujo) Makoto Takemura, 22-year-old Sumire Noda (野田すみれ) has recently posed for lavish gravure shoots that really show off her incredible body.
Born in Tokyo in 1999, the comely Sumire has been playing golf since age three. She represented Japan at the World Junior Golf ...
The ex-AKB48 idol Nana Owada (大和田南那) has posed semi-nude for the current issue of Weekly Flash.
The 22-year-old is promoting her second photo book, "private," which comes out on November 30. The 10-page shoot features unused shots from the upcoming release.
The now-conventional tebura "hand bra" shot is really nice, as is the one where she's lying on her side and her arms just about cover her breasts. That said, it actually looks like she is taming things down from her first photo book, which was even more revealing in terms of the amount of flesh on display (though not outright ...
