There's a lot of excitement swirling around since the announcement that the singer and model Mariya Nishiuchi would be appearing in the upcoming second season of the hit Netflix drama The Naked Director.
The drama charts the career of Japanese adult video impresario Toru Muranishi, whose ambitious productions revolutionized the industry in the 1980s and 1990s.
Nishiuchi will apparently play Mariko Itsuki (樹まり子), a busty stunner who notched up dozens of credits in porn releases in the late 1980s and early 1990s as well as several photo books.
Now the question is: How much will ...
We've been using the semi-lockdown here in Tokyo to catch up on various TV series saved on our watch list for too long.
And so we finally found time to watch the BBC/Netflix drama Giri/Haji (literally, Duty/Shame), whose storyline has a connection with Japan and stars various Japanese actors.
The show, which was first shown in the UK in late 2019 and made available on Netflix in America in early 2020, is pretty good, though our prime reason for sharing it with our readers is, of course, the nudity.
There is an OK sex scene with the actress Anna Sawai (澤井杏奈), where you get to see ...
A new Japanese show on Netflix, Followers, created by Mika Ninagawa, features a lesbian sex scene between Elaiza Ikeda and KOM_I. (Update: sharp-eyed readers have helped us determine that the actress in the scene is not Elaiza Ikeda, though we are still keen to figure out who it is. Please see the comments for more.)
Let's not get too excited about this. After all, Filipino-Japanese actress Elaiza Ikeda has done some sexy scenes before, as we once blogged about. Here she is looking busty in Sion Sono's The Virgin Psychics (based on the manga Minna! Esper Dayo!) from ...
Former child actor Chiho Fujii (藤井千帆) is cementing her entry into the adult mainstream with a role in High Position, the late-night drama on TV Tokyo, which includes a nice sex scene.
This being tame realm of regular Japanese television (i.e., not a streaming channel), there is no actual nudity, of course, but viewers get to see what Chiho might look and act like between the sheets.
The 24-year-old is shown licking her lips clean, presumably after giving a man a blow job and swallowing his cum, and then getting head from her male partner under the cover.
There's also a nice shot of ...
If a job needs doing, hire a professional.
And that's what the makers of the The Naked Director did.
For a drama series about the adult video pioneer Toru Muranishi, you need to include plenty of sex on camera.
We've already looked at the nude scenes in the Netflix series by the likes of newcomer Misato Morita, gravure idol Ruri Shinato, and former AKB48 Ami Tomite, among others. The makers even threw in a sex scene with a non-Japanese actress, Jade Albany Pietrantonio.
But for a truly realistic result, you need actual porn stars. And so the producers sensibly hired Nanami Kawakami ...
In her latest TV drama series role, busty gravure model Fumika Baba is shown in an AKB48 cosplay costume being sexually assaulted.
In Na mo naki Fukusha Zegen (Nameless Revenger Zegen, 名もなき復讐者 ZEGEN), Baba plays a prostitute who gives sensual massages to her clients before sex. One session when she is dressed up like an AKB48 idol is rougher than expected and she is raped by the client.
While that is certainly rougher sex than the kind we usually like to watch, there's no denying that Fumika looks great in an AKB48 costume.
Based on a novel, the TV series is ...
We have continued to follow the nudity and sex scenes on display in the Netflix Japanese-language serial The Naked Director, which charts the incredible career of Japanese porn giant Toru Muranishi.
Following our look at the nude sex scenes by gravure idol Ruri Shinato and actress Ami Tomite, we will focus this time on the nudity by Misato Morita.
The lesser-known yet beautiful 22-year-old actress Misato Morita (森田望智) plays Kaoru Kuroki, the eventual AV superstar.
In one episode early on, we see what she looks like masturbating in the shower. The scene also includes a realistic ...
We recently introduced the great Netflix drama series The Naked Director, which charts the rise and fall of adult video legend Toru Muranishi during the 1980s and 1990s.
Now we want to look in more detail at some of the sex and nudity it depicts.
The choice of Netflix to show the series is an apt one, since then it is now bound by the strange rules of mainstream Japanese broadcasting that forbids actual nudity. Being a streaming channel, Netflix can do the subject matter justice by allowing some actual bare flesh on screen.
One of the most naked is the gravure idol Ruri Shinato -- long a ...
We previously introduced the legendary porn impressario Toru Muranishi when a documentary about him came out in Japan -- specifically, the last gasp of his major releases when he tried to create one of the most ambitious porn films ever shot.
The pioneer of POV shots and arrested several times over the years, Toru Muranishi is perhaps the most famous adult video director and producer from the 1980s and 1990s. That fame is set to reach new audiences with the release of a new Japanese Netflix drama starring Takayuki Yamada.
The Naked Director charts the rise of Muranishi's porn production ...
We don't seem to see enough of slinky gravure idol Saki Suzuki these days. Her gravure career might well have lost some of its luster of late but her recent appearance in a TV drama episode has more than made up for her absence from the pages of the weekly magazines.
In the most recent episode of Iyasaretai Otoko (Man Who Wants to be Healed) on TV Tokyo, a male character stumbles upon Suzuki's characters on all fours.
Perhaps for reasons that don't need explaining, he immediately hallucinates her scrubbing the floor in her underwear.
The grimmer reality is that Suzuki's character is a ...
