Happy New Year. We welcome in the Year of the Tiger by checking out a small sampling of the great tora-themed sexy cosplay posted on social media by Japanese cosplayers, gravure models, porn stars, and more. We start with an obvious choice: Japan's top cosplayer, Enako, whose contribution looked both busty and cozy. Former AKB48 idol and lingerie model Haruna Kojima, who seems to be visiting Paris at the moment, made do with a croissant pose and some cat cosplay (albeit it in colors/pattern that was more like a cow than a tiger). Shibari model Cana achieved an intimacy and warmth with ...

It's been another long year where we had to wear face masks a lot. This isn't such a biggie here in Japan, where people often wear masks if they have a cold or during the annual hay fever seasons. What was common before just became ubiquitous. One frustration about this, though, is that you can't admire the eye candy on the streets or at the store so much when a beautiful woman (or man) walks by. Sometimes you just want to reach out, pluck off that mask, and get a good look at the person in question. On the other hand, masks have the side effect of accentuating parts of the face, ...

The year is drawing to a close: another twelve months packed full of gravure shoots and photo books. But who did the most memorable nude shoot? Sure, there were plenty of sexy and semi-nude shoots, but who made their nude debuts? Who looked best without their clothes on? We look at the best nude shoots in 2021 from gravure idols, models, and other celebrities (not porn stars, since going nude is par for the course). Former Morning Musume idol and singer Maki Goto make a high-profile comeback to live performance and also released a photo book, where she went nude again -- and proved how ...

You've perhaps heard about the Tenga Pocket Hat. Maybe you got the Tenga iPhone case. But what about Tenga shoes? Yes, that's what self-professed performer Bokunou (ぼく脳, literally "my brain") has crafted, using the insides of a Tenga toy -- the inner coating that provides such awesome stimulation on your cock -- as unique decoration for the midsoles on a customized pair of sneakers. The sneakers are a simple gray and white, with "TENGA" written in red. It's not clear which Tenga toy he used as the material for the footwear, but the white color suggests it came from several Tenga ...

Christmas is over. The presents are unwrapped. The meal is consumed. Now you are ready to warm yourself up (presuming you live in the Northern Hemisphere) to survive the rest of the holidays and the winter. Well, we have been covertly watching porn on our phone whenever relatives weren't looking. That's helping us get through these cold days. But if you want to spice things up even more, whether alone or with a partner, then you need some adult toys. And now we hear news from our friends at Kanojo Toys that they are having a massive New Year sale. You can get 20% off any order from now ...

The Taimanin is one of the most successful recent eroge franchises. The series by LiLiTH has spawned various spin-offs about the sexy exploits of near-future female ninjas (kunoichi) Asagi Igawa, Sakura Igawa, Yukikaze Mizuki, and more. This includes many adult toys like masturbators and lubricants, made by PPP. It has also been adapted by adult video studio ZIZ (since at least 2014) into a series of porn releases starring the likes of Yuki Hatano, Mei Matsumoto, and Kaho Shibuya, with tentacle sex and lesbian themes. And now comes the news that Taimanin will next become an idol group, ...

'Tis the season for celebration, after all, and Tenga has reached a major milestone. And a very profitable one at that: 100 million sales of its Tenga Cup series. The Tenga Cup 100 Million Sales Commemoration Set is a special release to celebrate this phenomenal achievement. As regular readers know, we love writing about Tenga -- sometimes called the Apple of the Japanese adult industry -- and couldn't resist this story. We have grown old with Tenga: the Cup came out first in 2007 and has morphed into so many versions over the years since. Along with the Tenga Egg, the Cup secured the ...

Fans were very pleased by Maki Goto's new photo book, "ramus," in which the 36-year-old former Morning Musume idol rewarded those of us who had waited long for her comeback by posing nude. Alright, let's be honest, there was also a bit of disappointment. As great as mother-of-two jukujo Maki looks, she was ultimately "only" revealing her naked butt and side boob. And as fans will know, she did as much already 10 years ago. Fortunately for anyone disappointed, a netizen has stepped in to take things further and apply their photo-editing skills to the very good purpose of revealing Maki ...

Another week, another chikan story. As regular readers to this blog will know, groping on public transport is a serious problem in Japan, so much so that it has its own name (chikan) and tactics to deal with it -- primarily women-only carriages. This doesn't seem to stop the perpetrators, though, but we also seem to spot an increasingly number of reports now about them being caught or having to escape in outlandish ways. On the morning of Wednesday, December 15, an alleged male groper tried to evade justice by jumping from the tracks at Minami-Senju Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line ...

One of the great things about leading Japanese adult brand Toy's Heart is how it takes inspiration from recent social trends and buzzwords. Two of its latest pocket pussy releases do just that, and do it with serious aplomb. The Lolita G-Spot Mass Production Girl is based on the the idea of a ryosangata joshi. Don't worry if you weren't familiar with this Japanese phrase, we weren't either. It literally means a "mass production girl" and refers to the identical-looking young ladies who wear the same kinds of clothes and accessories. Such ryosangata joshi are often found in places like ...
