Up-and-coming actress Minami Hamabe is very much in the Emi Takei and Suzu and Alice Hirose "style" of celebrity: admired for her sweet girl-next-door purity. Of course, that doesn't mean she's not a human being with an adult body. As a 21-year-old, she has needs and it would be natural for her to have boyfriends. She was recently forced to deny a rumor that she was in a serious relationship with Ryuga, the 24-year-old vocalist and guitarist of the band Maruritoryuga. Such denials in the Japanese entertainment world often mean little, but we struggle to see why this was even a ...

Regular readers may remember the Upskirt Umbrella from a few years back, a form of rain protection that might just get you arrested. If you love a panchira upskirt view of a girl's panties, you are in the right country. The latest verification of this comes from the mobile game Azur Lane, in which historical warships are played as female characters in, well, less than modest clothing. To celebrate the game's fourth anniversary, it has launched a promo with a special noren door curtain. Noren are the short curtains that hang in front of the entrances to restaurants in Japan. This ...

We are always pleased to welcome old friends, especially when they give as much as this one. EXE has returned with another entry in the popular Puni Ana-roid series of powered masturbator toys (itself, a kind of sub-series in the long-running Puni Ana line of hentai onaholes). The recently released Puni Ana-roid 3 Maid Mouth is, as the name suggests, a blowjob toy with a mouth hole shape. It keeps the futuristic, cyberpunk theme of the previous toys but here ups the ante with maid-fantasy box art (created by, like before, the awesome maruku). Even better, EXE has integrated the maid ...

As one of the most popular adult video stars in Japan and the originator of a whole line of adult toys, Eimi Fukada is a woman who knows about sex. And she's also a generous soul who wants to share her insights with the general public. She is also one of the most active JAV stars on YouTube and recently released a new video titled (roughly) "Intercourse to Get Your Partner Hooked on You." Yes, in the eight-minute video, Eimi -- dressed more like a sophisticated office lady you may spot shopping in Daikanyama than a porn star -- gives us the lowdown on how to make a female partner really ...

It's probably Tokyo's most famous and futuristic pieces of architecture: the Nakagin Capsule Tower. Despite its repute, it's an endangered species: demolition of the Metabolist landmark has been scheduled for a long time. People have continued to reside in the pod-like pied-à-terre living units or use them as office spaces. Or for other uses, it seems. We had never heard of this before but it seems that certain capsule rooms in Nakagin were used by prostitutes to service customers. In Tokyo, a brothel-style fuzoku service typically has its own little place with basic facilities. ...

A few months ago, we reported on the exciting news that shibari rope bondage master Hajime Kinoko was creating and selling an augmented reality art installation as an NFT. Well, the NFT boom shows no signs of abating just yet, and others are jumping on the bandwagon. And by others, we mean none other than top Japanese porn star Yua Mikami, who has announced a new project: your NFT. To mark her twenty-eighth birthday, August 16, Yua has collaborated with famed Japanese art director Gugi Akiyama and photographer Yasunari Kikuma to take a special photograph. She will then sell 28 images ...

Here's something that proves yet again that besides the weekly magazines like Playboy and Friday, the women's magazine Anan remains a publication to watch for provocative shoots with established models and actors. The latest in its long line of such shoots features the actor Kana Kurashina (倉科カナ) doing a great "hand bra" (tebura) pose. The 33-year-old Kyushu native is well known for her large bust. She is modeling lingerie by Salute in the issue of Anan that goes on sale on September 22 in japan, after which we expect more images will become available. Right now, all we have are the ...

Yuzuha Hongo (本郷柚巴) of NMB48 may still be a very sprightly 18 years old, but that doesn't stop her managers from organizing sexy photo shoots for her. She seems game for them too. Her latest is proving almost too busty for fans. She poses in alluring black lingerie, hugging an electric guitar like a lover's body or lying on an old leather sofa with fellow NMB48 member Wakana Abe, both balancing plectrums on their busts. Now that's what we call music. If you look closely, Hongo is wearing pads over her nipples because her breasts threaten to burst out of her bra. The shoot ...

Some of us get more conservative the older we get. Misumi Shiochi gets nuder the older she gets. The 39-year-old jukujo and former TV announcer has now firmly settled into her role in the gravure industry as the current ara-four ("around 40") lady of the moment that men want to sleep with, perhaps especially if they are the same age. Her latest photo shoot shows off her G-cup breasts (though without actually showing off her nipples) and gives us some great views on her ass and nude back. The pictures are highlights from her new photo book, "Nocturne," which came out in Japan on September ...

What to do when your career as a weather forecaster is faltering? Strip off for a weekly magazine, it seems. Well, it's hard to say what the precise motives are for Mian Shirasaka (白坂みあん), the 21-year-old beauty who holds a qualification as a weather forecaster (often held by weather presenters) and whose meteorological broadcasting career is surely just starting. But that hasn't stopped her from moving to her backup plan, which was apparently not only trying her hand at gravure but at a "hair nude" full-frontal shoot as well. Talk about jumping in at the deep end. The shoot is ...
