Schoolgirls, lesbians and bondage. Put these together and you might just have box office gold.
At least, that's what the producers of the film adaptation of "Chotto Kawaii Iron Maiden" are hoping.
The low budget movie is exactly those three things. Originally a cult manga by Makoto Fukami, it stars Noriko Kijima and Yuki Mamiya as student members of an official school club that is actually a BDSM circle.
Cue lots of groaning and young schoolgirls looking angsty.
What starts off as an exploration of pain and submission (the students are actually "training" to become ...
A new film is about to be released that promises, so its marketers say, to have only 18 minutes of clothed scenes in its 123-minute running time.
Ai no Uzu (Love's Whirlpool) is written and directed by Daisuke Miura, adapted from his award-winning 2006 play that won him the top drama prize in Japan and has since been performed in Europe.
It depicts a Kabukicho sex club where singletons and couples gather to share their bodies. Miura is no stranger to visiting such establishments himself, so the rumors have it, so no doubt the portrayal is realistic.
The play and film are less ...
Have you ever wanted to see a film about a talking vagina?
You can from December 7th in Japan.
Junan is based on a 1997 book by Kaoruko Himeno about a pure girl who becomes interested in sexuality and whose vagina then suddenly develops not only a personality -- but even a voice!
The lead is played by the lovely Mayuki Iwasa, who will be stripping off for the role, including a full nude scene. Mayuki is more known as an idol than a serious actress, though this odd movie will no doubt not do any harm to her reputation for being sexy.
This might be the strangest ...
The old favorites are the best.
We are pleased to welcome actress Saki Takaoka back to the big screen.
Now 40 years old and still a stunner, Takaoka will be performing her first nude scene in 17 years in a new film, Monster, to be released in Japan on April 27.
She is well known for her nude scenes in films in the 1990s (like Crest of Betrayal in 1994 -- see the first pic below) and the "hair nude" (full-frontal nude) photo book one, two, three she released in 1995 in her heyday. (Such celebrity "hair nude" photo books were really popular in the mid-1990s.)
She stopped performing ...
Erika Sawajiri is no stranger to almost shedding her clothes, not to mention acting like a spoilt and uptight bitch.
It's never clear how much is true and how much is a cultivated personality, though.
Her recently released film Helter-Skelter contains some glimpses of the real Erika, by which we mean her flesh!
It's pretty tame by many people's standards, especially Korean actresses', but it's still a nice way to start your day.
Saying that, apparently during the making of the film they had a lot of trouble extracting a convincing performance from Erika. During the sex scenes ...
This week we take a slow and lingering look at the svelte form of Yoko Kamon (嘉門洋子).
Born in 1980, Yoko Kamon is a model and actress who started appearing in films such as Suicide Club in the Nineties and working as a gravure idol. Her career has slowed down, reducing her mainly to erotic B-movies of late (see example of a nude sex scene below), though she still retains the power to do sexy photo shoots and has kept her cult following.
She also recently became one of those to have dared to do "hair nude" all-nude photos, which are actually much more artistically shot than ...
We love uncovering and sharing with the world the unsung heroines of Japanese ladies!
We often blog about sexy idols but there are plenty of very, very beautiful regular Japanese actresses as well. They don't do gravure style bikini shoots but they still often do nude shoots or very sexy photos. In Japan this isn't seen as degrading or damaging to your acting career, and typically the shoots will be collaborations with famous photographers.
Naoko Watanabe (渡辺奈緒子), born in 1984, is a very attractive actress who, though not a star, has been in several high profile releases, ...
We've been watching a bunch of cheap soft core movies. Though Japanese porn is great, of course, there is also a lot of cheaply made but imaginative erotica around, such as this, Horny House of Horror (aka Fashion Hell). Sure, there is no penetration on display and the sex is less graphic, but there's still plenty of flair!
Starring three porn regulars, Mint Suzuki, Asami, and Saori Hara, the "plot" revolves around a new fuzoku sex club visited one night by a trio of naive young guys. They get far more than they bargained for as the club is a den of pain and horror (yep, hence the ...
I've said it before but I'll say it again. Japan is too sexy for America. This even means that books are apparently too much too!
Kids in New Jersey will have a tougher job finding the Murakami mega-seller in their local libraries now, since one school have banned it for too much sex. Sure, there's a bit of lesbianism, the odd one night stand... but isn't actually all the suicide more shocking?
Apparently the book should still be around the state but one school removed it from a summer reading list for teenaged students, and this might surely just be the tip of the iceberg. Well, ...
Yuriko Yoshitaka, star of the live action remake of comic Gantz, didn't always make her living being a headliner in big manga blockbuster movies. Her first big break had her naked on her back under guys with lots of tattoos and piercings.
The now 22-year-old actress is known for her sweet personality and her acting chops. Her first big role was in the movie "Snakes and Earrings" where she played a troubled youth whose life gets turned around by a split tongued tattooed rebel. And if you want to see Yuriko squirm and scream as she is getting screwed, watch the film.
Talk ...
