Here's a little sex scandal to cheer up your post-Christmas blues or stir you out of your post-Christmas stupor, either with fury or envy.
Weekly tabloid magazine Shukan Bunshun has broken a story about Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker Teru Fukui taking a luxury cruise in Japan's Inland Sea for two nights with a beautiful woman who works as an official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They were snapped arm in arm at the port in Hiroshima on December 22nd, preparing for their trip that would last over the Christmas Eve season, which is a romantic time for couples in Japan.
Such a ...
It's often regarded as axiomatic that adultery is common in Japan. Men have sex at their fingertips. Just take a trip to one of the countless "fuzoku" sex services available or go on a "compensated date."
The ladies are catching up, though, if you believe that is the reason for the growth of Ashley Madison in Japan.
One Japanese survey, at least, suggests that adultery is really not as gender-biased as you might think. In fact, slightly more women admitted to cheating on their partner in the past.
The survey was conducted, somewhat bizarrely, by a hair-removal salon with coupes aged ...
All those hundreds of thousands of office ladies slaving away in Japan's corporations are not as bored or subservient as you might think.
An online survey by konkatsu "marriage-hunting" web portal Aikatsu asked 1,162 women if they had had sex with someone from their workplaces. More than three in four women admitted to having slept with a coworker.
Given the amount of time that many Japanese people spend at their companies as well as the relatively high number of social events that take place among colleagues, especially nighttime drinking, it is not surprising that many relationships ...
We know that adultery is quite common in Japan, especially among men -- and that's probably before you even start thinking about the various sex services out there for the guys to try if things get stale.
But women are not holding back anymore. The rapid growth of services like Ashley Madison and the popularity of TV dramas like Hirugao with Aya Ueto suggest that women are also keen to dip their toe into the big ocean of extramarital affairs. Several high-profile cases have exposed this. For every Ken Watanabe there's a Yuki Saito and Aoi Miyazaki. Even Becky, though not married herself, ...
Manami Hashimoto has probably replaced Mitsu Dan as the hottest jukujo of the moment, and it's good to see her spreading her body and talents not just across the pages of the weeklies but also on film and television shows.
From the trailer it looks like the movie Hikari (Light), directed by Tatsushi Omori, will feature a nude sex scene with her, but we'll have to wait for the DVD release to check that out and confirm the details.
In the meantime, we were searching around and found a nice little sex scene she did in a TV drama broadcast back in 2016. It's called Fukigen na Kajitsu ...
This is us raiding the adult archives again but it's an interesting and cautionary tale. Back in autumn 2015, a tabloid published what was alleged to be leaked photos showing sex between the TV announced Yumi Makino and a man.
Her partner was allegedly the well-known (and married) pastry chef Morihide Yoshida, who has won awards and is a frequent face on television. He was identified by his distinctive haircut.
The scandal impacted Makino's career. She left broadcasting in September last year, possibly as a result of work drying up after the scandal. The sex photos ...
If the idea of having an affair with a beautiful Japanese woman in her thirties, then turn on Asahi TV's drama Holiday Love. One storyline in the series features the seiyuu Marika Matsumoto in just such a scenario.
Last week we blogged about her modest yet alluring sex scene in the drama, which revealed a tantalizing amount of flesh.
In the latest episode, Matsumoto and her lover are caught in a passionate embrace. During the resulting showdown, we get long and lingering looks at Matsumoto's beautiful back as well as slender legs. The closest we get to genuine nudity is a bit of side ...
The massive increase in tourists to Japan has had one interesting effect that has so far gone unreported: interracial sex is apparently on the up.
"Inbaundo furin" (inbound tourism adultery) is one term that has been coined, as noted in an article by Toyo Keizai, referring to the women in their thirties and forties who hunt for foreign (especially Western men) in the bars of Japan's capital. They are looking for quick and easy affairs or one night stands with these tourists who flew in for just a short time. What happens in Tokyo, stays in Tokyo.
The article interviews a 39-year-old ...
We are used to famous male celebrities committing adultery (step forward, Ken Watanabe, as a recent example), so why is it such a shock when the "guilty party" in question is female?
Why did, say, Becky attract so much vitriol over her affair with a married musician? No doubt it was partly because her "pure" image was tarnished -- but it takes two to tango, you know.
Japan is still a society dominated by men, from the corridors of power in the Diet to the corporate board rooms and even the halls of the Imperial Palace, where women are unable to inherit the throne.
Yuki Saito is a ...
It's an open secret that Arashi idol group Jun Matsumoto is dating actress Mao Inoue, though their respective agencies prevent them from getting married.
But that's not all. Matsumoto is also alleged to have had an affair for several years with someone else -- none other than porn star Tsukasa Aoi.
The scandal was exposed by a tabloid at the end of last year after Aoi was spotted entering and leaving Matsumoto's apartment building.
Matsumoto apparently treated Aoi as his "sex slave". Inoue also stopped working for a while, possibly related to the scandal.
But Arashi is a ...
