A gravure idol has landed herself in hot water by participating in a semi-nude photo shoot where the actual location was identifiable. Not such a bigger, you might think, except that it was the family-friendly, mega brand that is Disney. In the photos taken of Mika Tanaka (田中みか) posing alluring in a hotel room in her underwear or in the buff, you can make out the location through the window. When images surfaced online, netizens were quick to point out that it was clearly shot at a Tokyo Disneyland hotel. The media even went so far as to contact the hotel operator, who responded by ...

#MeToo has yet to make inroads in Japan, despite a few scandals and efforts by feminist campaigners. In that respect, South Korean women are doing a better job at raising awareness of such problems as sexual abuse in the entertainment industry and secret recording of women in public toilets. A new campaign has launched, though, which shines a light on a different aspect of Japanese women's plight: high heels. Dubbed #KuToo (a play on the Japanese word for shoes, kutsu, and pain, kutsuu), the campaign calls on employers to stop enforcing dress codes that require female workers to wear ...

Kyoko Fukada may well have hit 36 and firmly entered jukujo territory, but she still looks athletic, toned, and "pure" as she did ten years ago.

Her most recent gravure shoot is a perfectly summery one -- complete with beach, sand, and bikinis. We get to glimpse Kyoko's butt crack and her slender yet healthy-looking body. Seriously, she has barely aged since those awesome lingerie and swimwear shoots she did years ago. What an absolute ...

Having published a nude photo book last year, gravure idol Yumi Asahina (朝比奈祐未) may not have many places to go except adult video or establishing herself as a mainstream actress. Regardless of her future, she has one amazing asset: her ass. This is a butt that can look pert and tight in one shot, and then curved and round from a different angle. That's the kind of versatility we love and need in our lives, and it's why we are crowning Yumi Asahina Ass of the Moment. Quite an achievement, considering what a competitive field it ...

It's an open secret that "compensated dating" (援助交際, enjo kosai) is common in the Japanese idol world, even among mainstream entertainers and celebrities. Just as the casting couch exists, so too does the dating table. Idols don't earn that much money and their careers are fickle, so they boost their income with dates. There doesn't always sex involved, it should be added, but it's surely not impossible. It's like a hostess "dohan" date (where the hostess accompanies you for dining before going to the club together) or services offered by "dating clubs" (交際クラブ, kosai ...

We've always had a soft spot for the slinky, sultry gravure model and actress Moemi Katayama. After some years in gravure, the 28-year-old with a G-cup is establishing her acting career as she enters her thirties and the jukujo phase of her life. Nonetheless, this didn't stop her from doing a nude photo book a while back. Even better, though, is the nude sex scene she did in Fumiko's Feet (2018). You get a lingering look at her drooping breasts and she is inevitably asked to ride cowgirl on her male partner so the viewer doesn't miss a glimpse. The film itself is, as ...

No, she's got absolutely amazing legs and is really determined to show them off. The slinky Asami is a race queen who won a prize at the recent Japan Race Queen Award in 2018. The prize was sponsored by Weekly Playboy, who then featured Asami in an issue in April. For which, history is forever grateful! While motor show fans have already ...

The Reiwa era has got off to a bang in some ways. For starters, the popular gravure idol and actress Mai Hakase announced her marriage. The documents were submitted to a ward office in Tokyo on May 1st, the inaugural day of the new Reiwa era. They have been dating for just ten months, which will surely lead to speculation that 32-year-old Mai is pregnant, though nothing of the sort has been announced. The man is apparently a doctor and three years older than the G-cup goddess. Congratulations, Mai, though we can't help but feel sad that someone got to you before us! Continuing this ...

In episode two of Kabukicho Bengonin Rinka (Kabukicho Attorney Rinka), which is about a female lawyer working among hostesses, Bambi is show stripping off in a love hotel room to reveal her largest chest, albeit hidden within a bra or under her arms. An old dude looks on with obvious interest. He then has sex with her, even though she is ...
