The 2018 Japanese movie Still Life of Memories didn't make much of a splash when it was first released and we are finally catching up with it now. The somewhat peculiar plot is about a love triangle that emerges between a photographer, played by Masanobu Ando, and his younger girlfriend (Rima Matsuda, b. 1994) and a jukujo museum curator (Natsuko Haru, b. 1983), who asks the photographer to take pictures of her most intimate body parts.
Yes, this is one of those little films that looks certain to cement the reputation that Japanese have internationally for perversion -- and Japanese women, ...
The busty gravure idol Rio Teramoto (寺本莉緒) has stripped for a scene in the new Xstream46 movie Welcome to the Toei Murder Studio (ようこそ東映殺影所へ), which is streaming in Japan since last week.
In the 46-minute low-budget horror, Teramoto is shown stripping off for an older guy watching her in a chair.
If you're a fan of the 19-year-old gradol, don't get totally excited just yet. The scene is great but stops at her nude back. This is sexy enough, for sure, but we'd love to have seen the front and it's a shame that she keeps her panties on. It's also possible that it's ...
The acclaimed actress Noriko Eguchi, who turns 40 this month, is known for her tough demeanor and her serious role but that doesn't mean she's averse to rewarding fans with nude scenes.
We did a little delving and came up with these two decent examples. Our apologies for the quality of the screen grabs.
In the period piece One Woman and the War (2012), based on the novel by Ango Sakaguchi, she has a sex scene in a kimono on the floor. Her partner undoes the yukata, revealing Noriko's breasts and bush. Hmm . . . sex on tatami mats? We know from experience it's hot but it's not so ...
Netflix continues to invest in ambitious and provocative Japanese dramas and take content risks no mainstream broadcaster in the country would dare.
After its wild success with the suitably nude bonanza that was The Naked Director, now comes the lesbian road movie Ride or Die, starring Kiko Mizuhara and Honami Sato, and released by Netflix on April 15. Its nude scenes are probably the most anticipated in Japan so far this year.
There is some impressive girl-on-girl action in the movie, where you get to see quite a lot of Kiko's and Honami's naked breasts and backs as they explore each ...
Kyoko Hinami (日南響子) really should be more famous than she is.
We hope to make a small contribution to fixing this injustice by showcasing her nude scene from the Sion Sono film The Forest of Love: Deep Cut, the seven-episode miniseries that is an extended version of The Forest of Love. Both were released on Netflix in late 2019.
In the scene, Hinami is nude except for panties, and her slim body and attractive breasts are on full display.
By Sono's standards, which we have introduced before, it's relatively tame but we certainly aren't complaining.
The slinky actress and gravure ...
The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese is a boys' love (yaoi) manga by Setona Mizushiro. A live-action film version was released in Japan in 2020.
It stars Tadayoshi Okura and Ryo Narita in the lead roles. It is directed by Isao Yukisada, who also made River's Edge, which had great nude sex scenes with Fumi Nikaido and Shiori Doi.
Naturally, given the subject matter, much of the film focuses on the gay relationship between the two men, but there is one nude sex scene with a female actor.
It's with Noriko Kijima, who is no stranger to filming nude scenes in several films. She shows off her ...
We have long been an admirer of the actress of 33-year-old Yuki Sakurai, a feeling seriously amplified after we saw her lengthy and explicit sex scene in Call Boy that we blogged about just over a year ago.
We mentioned at the time her previous sex scenes in a film called The Limit of Sleeping Beauty (2017).
We have finally gotten around to looking at this properly and wanted to showcase some of the highlights.
Yuki Sakurai, who plays a magician's assistant, is nude in several scenes from this somewhat peculiar film, showing off her butt, breasts, and pale, slim body.
There is a ...
The actress Mao Miyaji is to release a new photo book, her first in 10 years.
Aisansan (roughly, Bright Encounter) comes out at the end of December, with preview shots already published in the weekly magazine Friday.
Now aged 36 and firmly entering jukujo (MILF) territory, Mao Miyaji is something of an industry veteran.
After a string of major roles on TV in the 2000s, her career has been quieter for several years. She married a man seven years her senior in 2017.
She has done semi-nude photo shoots before (like below), where she showed off her slender body and butt, though her ...
Following Earthquake Bird and The Forest, the latest American movie set in Tokyo is the recently released Lost Girls and Love Hotels.
Here's the official blurb:
Margaret finds herself in the glittering labyrinth of Tokyo by night and as a respected English teacher of a Japanese flight attendant academy by day. With little life direction, She searches for meaning with fellow expat Ines in a Japanese dive bar, drinking to remember to forget and losing herself in love hotel encounters with men who satisfy a fleeting craving. When she crosses paths with Kazu, a dashing yakuza, she falls in love ...
Not to be confused with the comedy-action movie starring Bruce Willis, Red, known as Shape of Red in English, came out earlier this year in Japan.
The R15-rated film stars Satoshi Tsumabuki and Kaho. Based on a novel by the award-winning writer Rio Shimamoto, Shape of Red is an erotic story with several appropriately sensual scenes involving the leads. We particularly like the toe-licking scene.
For a film about adultery and whose female director said is showing what women really want, the depiction of the affair is suitably focused on Kaho and not filtered through the male gaze that films ...
