A new film Namae no nai Onnatachi (名前のない女たち, literally "The Girls With No Names", though the English title is Love & Loathing & Lulu & Ayano) is about young JAV porn stars in Tokyo, a subject of course close to our heart! It's based on a nonfiction bestseller, a four-volume compilation of interviews on life and sex with kikaku porn actresses. A kikaku joyu is a supporting actress hired for the day, whose face and/or name doesn't appear on film, as opposed to tantai, the starring models. The ratio of tantai to kikaku girls is something like 5% to 95%! The ...

A new film explores the feelings of war guilt for Japanese people. Caterpillar is about a soldier, haunted by his experiences of torture and rape in China during the war, who returns to Japan a hero... but without any legs or arms. Though he is torn apart internally by his feelings of guilt for his actions in Asia, he is still very keen of screwing his wife! She obliges like a good woman was expected back then (and still now!), despite the obvious practical difficulties of having sex with a severely disabled man. The director, Koji Wakamatsu, actually got his break in the industry ...

This week we look at the lovely, ever-happy-to-strip Kanako Kojima (小島可奈子). Kanako is not a total spring chicken -- she was born in 1975. But you know we like slightly maturer girls, right?! Born in Fukuoka in south Japan, Kanako made her debut in 1997 and her career has been barely moving since. Despite the lack of juicy roles in movies and TV Kanako has more than displayed her talents in other areas...namely, "hair nude" full-frontal shoots! What a great bush. Kanojo Kojima also did a nude sex scene in movie Namida Tsubo ...

This is an interesting topic and one that I get quite angry about. Why is the mainstream Japanese entertainment world so coy about sex scenes and nudity? TV is a joke! Not a nipple in sight. If you want titillation from a "normal" Japanese movie, good luck! And don't even get us started on the mosaic censorship that invades even simulated sex scenes. Talk about ruining the dramatic suspense... Anyway, here's a round-up of some of the Japanese actresses who are less inhibited. Rinko Kikuchi is fast-establishing herself as the only actress to strip off. She did it first in Babel ...

It's time to go back in history and prove that the Japanese have always been an erotic lot. Do you all know the tale of Sada Abe (阿部 定)? Born in 1905, she is infamous as the prostitute/maid who asphyxiated her lover and boss, Kichiro Ishida, in an inn after days of continuous sex. Kichiro was the owner of the eel restaurant where Sada worked and he soon seduced his employee. They made love for the first time to the accompaniment of geisha singing, before eventually decamping to the 1930s equivalent of a love hotel, where they stayed for four days screwing non-stop. After ...

A new Japanese movie called Air Doll (空気人形) has been released. We always suspected that it was about time mainstream society took an interest in our ways, and could this be start? The story, about a man who purchases a sex doll that comes alive, is sure to appeal to our sensibilities and that of regular readers of this blog. We also love the super cute Korean actress Bae Doo-na (above), who plays the eponymous doll. What's more, our sources tell us she spends much of the running time au naturel! But don't be satisfied with just a movie. Check out the superb range of sex ...
