Spare a thought for Yui Imaizumi. The former Keyakizaka46 cutie seemed to have found love and happiness with a man, albeit one who does not use condoms and presumes there are no consequences to ejaculating inside her. After a tough time last year when she contracted the coronavirus, but also showed us how busty she is on Zoom, Imaizumi recently announced her marriage to 28-year-old YouTuber Mahoto Watanabe. The 22-year-old, who left Keyakizaka46 in 2018, also announced that she was pregnant, so in other words -- this is yet another celebrity shotgun wedding. A moment for fans to ...

Not to be confused with the comedy-action movie starring Bruce Willis, Red, known as Shape of Red in English, came out earlier this year in Japan. The R15-rated film stars Satoshi Tsumabuki and Kaho. Based on a novel by the award-winning writer Rio Shimamoto, Shape of Red is an erotic story with several appropriately sensual scenes involving the leads. We particularly like the toe-licking scene. For a film about adultery and whose female director said is showing what women really want, the depiction of the affair is suitably focused on Kaho and not filtered through the male gaze that films ...

You might think that being married to the beautiful model and actress Nozomi Sasaki would be enough to satisfy a man. You'd be wrong. A scandal has broken out in the Japanese entertainment world after a tabloid scooped an interview with a mistress of popular comedian Ken Watabe. Apparently they met numerous times even after his marriage to have sex in public toilets. The 47-year-old Watabe would drive around in his car, according to the woman, scouting out a suitably quiet toilet in the basement of the Roppongi Hills complex in Tokyo, and then message his office lady lover to come. He ...

Yuuna Tanaka (田中優奈) is a Japanese TV announcer who was recently sacked over an alleged affair. That might be bad enough for her career prospects, but now photos have appeared that allegedly show Tanaka nude during sex with her partner. We should emphasize that we have no idea if these photos of Tanaka, who lost her job with Nagoya's CBC TV last summer after the year-long affair with a colleague emerged, are genuine, though that it was netizens are speculating. We reported on a similar situation in 2018, when an affair effectively ended the career of TV announcer Yumi ...

In December 2019, it was reported that 61-year-old Japanese politician Yasuhiro Ozata (小里泰弘) was asked to pay a "break-up fee" (solatium) by a much-younger woman with whom he was having an affair. The Liberal Democratic Party member of the House of Representatives and former Cabinet minister allegedly paid Yuno Morita (森田由乃) ¥100,000 per night during their relationship. They became acquainted through a members-only club where she worked in Roppongi three years ago. They would subsequently meet as often as three times a month at a hotel -- high-end, naturally, not some grubby ...

One of the most sensational stories over the summer was that of nude jukujo model Kazuko Iwamoto, who was arrested for stabbing her married, younger lover at a train station apparently after he spurned her for getting pregnant. The details of the adultery and the 43-year-old model's descent into what was possibly a kind of mental collapse are lurid yet also all too familiar. Now the dust has settled, we can take a look at the career that Iwamoto has more than likely destroyed with her act of vengeance. In the summer, just as fate was taking a strange turn for her, Iwamoto released her ...

The Japanese entertainment world has been shaken recently by a widespread scandal involving 11 comedians at leading agency Yoshimoto Kogyo who did side jobs for a criminal organization. The initial scandal broke in June, when many comedians were found to have worked at a party in December 2014 by a criminal group engaged in fraud. To be fair, they apparently did not know the nature of the client who had hired them, but it once again highlighted the long-suspected connections between organized crime and comedy in Japan -- a link encapsulated by the shock retirement of Shinsuke Shimada in ...

It's election season in Japan, which means posters of candidates everywhere as well as election broadcasts on TV. Pretty soon the streets will be filled with the soundscape of the trucks trundling around, calling out the local candidates' names to all and sundry. As always, though, it's the more unusual candidates vying for a well-paid position in the House of Councillors that make the most impact in a gray field. Takashi Tachibana is standing for election as a member of the Party to Protect the People from NHK (NHKから国民を守る党) -- a long-running libertarian-esque stance that ...

Kazuko Iwamoto (岩本和子) was arrested for apparently attacking her married lover with a utility knife in the resort town of Atami, west of Tokyo.

Sagami doesn't just make incredibly thin and accomplished condoms, it also conducts research on adult tastes and sexual customs in Japan. In fact, along with Tenga, Japan's contraception manufacturers are the most reliable sources for information and data. And these can sometimes turn up surprising, even shocking, results. One recent survey conducted with 14,100 people in October and November last year across Japan's 47 prefectures nationwide found that 15.2% of women were cheating on their partner or sleeping with at least one more person. Needless to say, the result for men was ...
