Regular readers will know that, in between all the news and updates about gravure idols and Japanese porn, or trying out new Japanese adult toys, we love to explore aspects of Japanese adult culture like the history of sex and old love hotels.
Showa-era love hotels are truly the best if you want garish colors, kitsch, and cheap gimmicks (revolving beds and so on) instead of the more practical amenities and chic interiors that have become the mainstream today (as nice as those are).
We spotted this selection of fantastic love hotel images on Twitter. Unfortunately, they are not captioned ...
The busty, popular gravure idol and actress Fumika Baba has reached a new stage of her career as the new face (and body) of the top lingerie brand Peach John.
The latest in an impressive line of models for PJ, Baba follows the likes of Haruna Kojima, Miyuki Watanabe, Saeko, Elaiza Ikeda, and Minami Tanaka.
Baba is the model for GiRLS, a special line of lingerie launched last year within the Peach John collection that is aimed at woman aged from their late teens to early twenties. When GiRLS first launched, its official models included Yui Imaizumi -- shortly before she was taken out of ...
Miyuki Komatsu (小松みゆき or 小松美幸) was a star gravure idol in 1990s. She furthered her status by doing hair nude (full-frontal nude) shoots -- this is back during the hair nude boom -- and also made the transition into soft-core porn films and hard-core adult video -- yes, back when it really was just video. She has since continued to do acting in various kinds of roles on TV and in films, though her career started to tail off during the 2000s.
But this isn't a sad story about a faded star. Far from it, in many respects.
Komatsu has entered a whole new phase in her ...
Kana Koizumi is the gift that keeps on giving.
After she quit her gravure agency for unknown reasons, the idol took to her personal Twitter account to promote herself. One way she did this was by making newly provocative videos.
She seriously raised the stakes when she stripped off, revealing her massive breasts. She continued to upload such short nude videos to her Twitter account.
She then moved to YouTube, where she had an active account and made some topless videos where her modesty was nominally censored by precariously positioned images of bananas. Even so, YouTube was less than ...
Can you imagine the surprise if a 40-year-old female model were dating a 20-year-old male idol? But the other way round, it's just another day in the urban jungle. Especially if you're a celebrity.
Weekly tabloid Shukan Bunshun has scored a minor scoop with an article claiming that singer You (or Yu) Yokoyama of Kanjani Eight is sleeping with Sumire Yokono of NMB48.
Yokoyama, who is 39, was in Kyoto to perform in a play in early March. After the show was over one day, he returned to his hotel -- where he was soon apparently joined by a young woman.
This lady is, Shukan Bunshun reckons, ...
April is, of course, April Fool's Day. But more importantly for those of us in Japan, it's the start of the new fiscal and academic year.
While that's different from many systems in the West, which generally begin the school year in the autumn, it makes a lot of sense considering it's spring and the season of new beginnings (and the cherry blossom in the school yards makes for some good commemorative photos).
Tenga knows how hard and stressful it can be to start college. You have to get a whole new set of friends and everyone seems older and cooler than you. It's also often the first time ...
As someone who has cultivated a gyaru "bad girl" persona as a model and celebrity, the fact that Yuki Kimura (aka Yukipoyo) is mixed up in drugs should shock no one.
She started as a model for legendary gyaru fashion magazine egg and also appeared on The Bachelor Japan (Amazon Prime) and then became a regular on TV variety shows. But the Japanese-Filipino's career was almost derailed at the start of the year when it was (belatedly) reported that police in May 2020 had arrested a man she was with -- presumed to be her lover -- on drug charges. Yukipoyo was not charged or detained, but a ...
We promised. We delivered.
After blogging the exciting news that former gravure idol Ruu Yumemi is to make her adult video debut following a sex tape scandal, we then shared the full-frontal nude photos she did to promote the porn release.
And now, finally, we have some preview images to enjoy before the video (MIDE-894) comes out on April 13 from Moodyz.
From the previews, the porn seems to have some fine if unspectacular action. Inevitably, the director has chosen to make a lot out of her breasts, since Ruu Yumemi's I-cup bust is probably her best and most striking asset. (No prize for ...
Until now, the Pretty Love series of Japanese adult toys has mostly concerned itself with goodies for the girls. That's great, but what about the boys? Thankfully, maker Toami has turned its attention to the guys with the latest entry: the Deep Licking Masturbator.
The name should give you a pretty good indication of what's going on here. This is a compact, practical, yet very powerful electric masturbator toy. You pop yourself into the realistic vagina at one end of the cup. Inside, after pushing through the snug pussy, your glans encounter a powered "tongue" part inside the tube. This is ...
A new video attracting attention in Japan is an "anti-stalker" voice clips collection for women who live at home.
If they are scared about a visitor, the idea is, they can use these audio clips to pretend a man is at home. This will ostensibly scare off a potential intruder or stalker.
Since it was uploaded to YouTube about a week ago, the video has garnered in excess of 1.1 million views. Hopefully most -- if not all -- of those views were not because the content was actually needed to ward off a stalker.
The video is divided into various male voice audio clips for different scenarios ...
