There are blasts from the past, and then there are blasts from the past.
If you are long-term fan of gravure, then you will know of Yinling (Yan Yinling), a major force in the industry in the late 1990s and 2000s.
She moved to Japan at the age of 10 and enjoyed a successful career as a female wrester, race queen, singer, and gravure model, but got married in 2008 to a Japanese man and effectively retired from the industry, moving back to Taiwan in 2011.
Now aged 47 and the mother of three children, the Taiwanese-born model also known as Yinling of Joy is making a comeback with her first ...
We recently wrote about AKB48 idol Mion Mukaichi's somewhat surprising decision to do a semi-nude photo book while still a member of the supergroup.
As we mentioned in our post, most music idols wait until graduating before posing semi-nude or nude. And in fact, they are often forced to do something like that to build any sort of career in a crowded marketplace.
A case in point is the ravishing Satomi Kaneko, who carved out a name for herself as a provocative, sensual model after a brief stint in AKB48 in 2007.
She started doing gravure in 2014 after an acting role in a sexploitation movie ...
Miri Hanai (花井美里) turns 39 this October but these recent photos prove that she's as alluring as ever.
The mature gravure idol and musician has firmly entered jukujo territory, and though she's no longer enjoying the success of her twenties, when she pumping out photo books several times a year at one point during the mid-2000s, she's still got her fans and released a new photo book in 2021.
Known for her busty looks (a J or H cup, depending on the marketing), she made her debut in 2003. That's a 20-year career, a milestone few in her competitive industry achieve, and one that ...
The lovely Marika Matsumoto has done her most explicit sex scene to date.
The 38-year-old has seen her career develop in interesting ways recently, moving from a focus on voice acting to regular acting in prominent roles.
This has included major TV dramas, such as Holiday Love for Asahi TV that saw her do a sex scene.
That was non-nude, of course, as things basically always are for mainstream Japanese TV.
She has capitalized on her newfound success with two photo books in 2019 and 2020, and is now a regular face on advertising campaigns and fashion magazine covers.
In Night, Birds ...
The actress Ryoko Hirosue has been accused of adultery with a famous chef.
In a scoop published by Bunshun this week, photos show the 42-year-old going to a luxury hotel where the 45-year-old chef Shusaku Toba, who runs a restaurant called sio that has a Michelin star, was also staying. The two are already known for being close.
There's an aphorism, often muttered by jaded guys on bar stools between swigs of beer, that it doesn't matter what you look like or even about your personality, hot women will inevitably go to bed with you as long as you're funny, tall, rich, or a successful ...
June is almost upon us, set to bring a bevy of new porn debuts by aspiring adult video stars in a competitive industry.
Here are some of the debuts we are looking forward to in the first half of the month.
Released digitally on June 2 and on physical format on June 6, Rina Matsunaga (松永梨杏) makes her JAV debut on Moodyz Diva (MIDV00366). The 162-minute production will surely make a lot out of the 21-year-old college student's H-cup breasts and girl-next-door looks.
The slinky and elegantly beautiful Wakana Sakura (さくらわかな) has an appropriate name for her debut release ...
Celebrate Mother's Day, which is fast approaching, with some Japanese MILFs and adult toys.
If you can't get your hands on an actual Japanese MILF or jukujo, a quick online search should connect you with the wealth of porn out there that satisfies that kink.
And then there's all the MILF-themed adult toys out there on the market.
We mention this because there's never been a better time to shop for such toys: our friends at Kanojo Toys, the largest and widest selection of Japanese adult goods online, is holding a week-long sale for Mother's Day.
You can get 20% off any purchase ...
Just a few days ago, we were celebrating the return to gravure of Rika Adachi and ex-AKB idol Haruna Kojima, and now comes news of another gravure homecoming (of sorts). Clearly 'tis the season for it. The weather is certainly hot enough, at least in Tokyo.
Another AKB48 alumna who has moved on to acting and fashion modeling in subsequent years, Mariya Nagao, is dipping her very delightful toe back into gravure.
Though she has continued to do lingerie shoots, she doesn't do full-blown gravure as much as she used to do (though she did do a shoot for Friday in February and for Spa in ...
We've always had a soft spot for Yuriko Yoshitaka, not least because her young debut means she seems to have been with us forever.
She has one of the most recognizable faces in the land, plastered on ads for drinks, banks, and more.
And she remains unmarried, despite being her looks and fame. Or perhaps it's because of her looks and fame: she may be fussier than others and unwilling to settle down with someone unless they
If so, good for her.
But her father seems to think otherwise. In a bizarre interview with Bunshun last month, Yuriko's father suggested that his daughter ...
Another day, another celebrity adultery scandal. Sometimes it feels like this.
But there's something a little different about the latest (minor) scandal to hit the news.
Yukie Joji is herself a reporter. The 48-year-old is currently seen doing live reports twice weekly for a show broadcast on CBC and TBS.
Since its employees apparently have little important journalism to do, scoop-hunters from Flash trailed Joji as she enjoyed a date in Yokohama's Chinatown in mid-April. She and a man lined up to enter a popular restaurant. They allegedly left the restaurant after their meal and held hands ...
