The freelance newscaster Yuri Kawaguchi has lost her contract with her management agency.
The agency, Voice, announced on August 11 that Kawaguchi had been let go due to a post she made on social media complaining about male body odor.
The 29-year-old posted a now-notorious tweet on August 8.
"I'm sorry if you can't help it for some reason, but I just can't stand the smell of men in the summer and that very particular body odor of those with an unhealthy lifestyle. I always want to stay clean so I take several showers a day, wipe off sweat, and use antiperspirant all year round. I want ...
As the Paris Olympics wind down, it's time to reflect on the days we spent glued to our TVs and phones watching the sporting achievements. Or, let's be honest, admiring the shapely female bodies on display in high definition.
As always, the swimming, beach volleyball, and track and field did not disappoint when it came to viewing attractive, athletic female bodies in tight-fitting clothing.
Polish sprinter Ewa Swoboda made a big impressive with her muscular curves, sexy tattoos, and lively personality.

She might have turned 36 but voice actress Yuka Iguchi still looks incredibly youthful, attractive, and bursting with joie de vivre.
The Japanese voice actress recently celebrated 20 years in the entertainment industry with the release of her first photo book. The aptly titled More More More came out via major publisher Kadokawa in April.
She has continued to showcase this newly sensual side with a summer shoot that really lets you see what a great, healthy body she has: slim waist, big tits, (somewhat) curvy thighs.
This is apparently her first ever gravure shoot for a weekly ...

We reported earlier this summer on the silly circus that was the Tokyo gubernatorial election, with a female candidate stripping off during her TV broadcast and another using pornographic posters that police ordered to be taken down.
One of the slightly more serious candidates, at least in terms of mainstream fame, was Toshio Tamogami, who finished fourth with 3.9% and around 270,000 votes.
The right-wing former Air Self-Defense Force general has stood for election several times, never winning public office but using the campaigns to maintain his profile and platform as a nationalist ...
In the crowded world of JAV, where newbies arrive every month and vast mountains of releases are populated by unnamed "amateur" performers paid a relative pittance, it takes something for a woman to achieve real staying staying power and stardom.
Moe Amatsuka is one such performer and so her many fans were dismayed to hear of her imminent retirement.
On July 28 on a live YouTube broadcast, Moe Amatsuka announced that she would be leaving the industry. Sometimes this is disingenuous, because the performer reappears attached to a different agency and working under a different name.
But ...
According to a viral post by the prolific Gareso Takizawa on Twitter/X (with 8.4 million views and counting), a Japanese pro esports player has apologized for cheating because he was hoping to get his end away.
The unnamed male competitor played with a friend using a cheat program. He did this because two female acquaintances promised that if he could maintain his Apex ranking, they'd help him lose his virginity.
Though the man has come clean and shamefully admitted his cheating, it's not known if the women upheld her end of the bargain.
Takizawa's post was based on the player's own ...
The former SKE48 idol Ruka Kitano has announced her first photo book.
The 25-year-old Gifu native's debut publication will come out in Japan on September 11.
Known for her girl-next-door looks, Kitano is attempting something of an image change by posing naked, with her modesty protected only by her carefully and alluringly placed arms across her chest.
Kitano was a member of the Nagoya-based group from 2014 until the end of June this year and is clearly hoping to capitalize on her fandom's demand for pics of her and her body.
The as-yet-untitled book will only be semi-nude but if the ...
Just a few days after we reported on the ongoing police crackdown in Kabukicho over drugs, prostitution, and delinquency.
These reports appear literally almost daily now. Hosts arrested for extracting debt payments in dubious ways, such as introducing women to pimps. Young women arrested for soliciting on the street. It's a never-ending conveyor belt of moral outrage, dutifully reported in the mainstream media.
The most shocking stories are those that involve underage girls: some hosts are so desperate for money and so unscrupulous that they exploit minors.
The latest story is in a similar ...
