The Japanese actress Kasumi Arimura is best known for her sweet, gentle looks. She is usually seen with a smile on her face while advertising tea or something similarly innocuous (though she did do some gravure stuff early on in her career, much like Haruka Ayase also did).
And so she is a surprising casting choice for the lead role in the new Netflix film Call Me Chihiro. Her character is meant to be a former sex worker who takes up a new job at a bento lunchbox shop in a seaside town. (We were also surprised to see that she is now 30. She seemed so much younger.)
Though Netflix has ...
The fantastically titled I Want You, Nana-chan, Give Me a Bite was released in Japan in 2021 and stars porn star Yura Kano and musician (and ex-AV star) Toko Namiko. After its quiet release in just a few theaters, we are finally catching up with it now.
Directed by Hideo Jojo (who also made the very explicit Believers starring Yui Kitamura), we're not sure the 70-minute film is technically classified as a pink movie but it bears many of the hallmarks of sexploitation.
The low-budget film is about the eponymous Nana (played by Yura Kano), who has to move back home after being fired for ...
Back when Ah, Wilderness (sometimes just Wilderness) came out in 2017, we inevitably took most interest in the nude sex scenes featuring a long-time favorite of this blog, the gravure idol Anna Konno.
Her breasts were as beautiful as we'd imagined from those many hours spent pouring over her bikini shoots.
The film was actually released in two parts, though the good bits were in the first half.
We recently took another look and decided to revisit the sex scenes involving another female performer in the film.
Akari Kinoshita (木下あかり) is an attractive actress now aged 30. She makes ...
In our quest to bring readers the latest updates on sex and nude scenes, we spent some time watching the little-known Japanese movie Shodo (Impulse), a low-budget, bondage-themed erotic film released in Japan in late 2021.
The Shibuya-set film, which purports to show the love lives of young people in Tokyo, has several nude scenes, including a particularly nice one where Uri Suzuki in a threesome with two guys on a bed in a love hotel. Suzuki pours alcohol over her breasts.
In another POV-shot scene, Suzuki is giving a guy a blowjob while he is restrained on the bed.
In ...
The Japanese actress Yui Kitamura (北村優衣) has a few decent nude scenes in the 2022 movie Believers.
The 23-year-old beauty shows her breasts and a bit of butt in several scenes, including some quite explicit sex scenes. We love her pale skin and breasts -- not only their shape but also the nipples and areolae. And if you like a slightly larger ass, which is sadly rare among many Japanese or East Asian women, Yui Kitamura is quite voluptuous.
The film, which is adapted from the Naoki Yamamoto manga, came out in Japan in the summer to relatively little fanfare and passed by under our ...
We make no secret on this blog about the fact that we like curves. But we are also partial to Japanese women with those willowy bodies -- slender waists and hips, small breasts, and delicate frames just begging to be kissed and held.
Today, we're revisiting a nude scene from the movie Love At Least (2018) that shows off the actress Shuri (趣里, aka Shuri Mizutani), whose slim body is just like we describe above.
The mononymous star (then in her late twenties) is shown naked outdoors at night, luxuriating in the slender beauty of her body. (Why do we never stumble upon such scenes in Tokyo ...
A few weeks ago, we posted a preview about the gravure idol Sayaka Nitori's highly anticipated debut photo book.
The semi-nude photo book shows off the model's nipples for the first time, though nominally covered by wet clothing. We also noted the meteoric rise of the idol and how she has done it as a freelancer unattached to the usual talent agencies (which control a celebrity or model's career and take most of the money).
We are delighted now to share some more highlights from the photo book, Ribbon, proving that's really stretching the "semi" part of "semi-nude." Nitori's G-cup ...
A few weeks ago, we posted about the nude photo book by Manami Shindo. The key story was that Shindo, who speaks five languages, was going nude just as she reached the age of 30 -- that richly rewarding threshold after which woman become ripe jukujo.
But in addition to sharing some highlights from the photo book, we also mentioned her reported sex scenes in an upcoming movie, Far Away, Further Away, which is about an affair between an unhappily married woman and an estate agent.
Now we have managed to get a look at the movie, which came out in August in Japan, and more importantly, check ...
The Japanese romance film Usotsuki Paradox (sometimes Usotsuki Paradokusu, or Liar Paradox) stars Nami Motoyama (本山なみ) and features a number of explicit nude scenes. Though the film is now almost 10 years old, we wanted to highlight some of these.
They include a nude bathing scene between Motoyama's character and her lover, and then a length bed sex scene where her lover goes down on her. They are then shown having sex while she sits in his lap with her legs over his shoulders (athletic!) as well as in missionary and from behind while she lies on her front (and grabs the bed in ...
In the age of #MeToo, the job of the intimacy coordinator in film and television has risen to prominence in the West.
What about Japan? With the recent scandals over the likes of directors Sion Sono and Hideo Sakaki, documentary filmmaker Yu Kaneko, and actor Houka Kinoshita, concern over sexual predators and harassment is higher than ever (albeit much more belated than in the United States and Europe).
Intimacy coordinators do exist, though are a rare species indeed. Gendai Media recently published a two-part interview with Momoko Nishiyama, one of only two professional intimacy ...
