Continuing a time-honored tradition of using up-and-coming celebrities for its models, the leading Japanese lingerie brand Peach John's new choice of model is announcer Kasumi Mori. Mori has recently established herself as a model and general celebrity, hoping to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Minami Tanaka, who launched a new career as an actress on the back of a bestselling photo book. Mori also released a debut photo book earlier this year, which revels in her shapely butt and pale skin, and has remained in the public eye through regular TV appearances. Her shoot for Peach John ...

When we look back to those first generations of AKB48 in the late 2000s, it almost seems like carefree halcyon days when the nastiness of Japan's idol industry -- which we all knew was there -- was not the dominant talking point in the discourse, and everywhere we went we saw ads featuring the young ladies from the Akihabara supergroup. Most of the members are now long gone from our lives, both those from the first "generation" and subsequent ones, with perhaps just a couple -- Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima -- succeeding at establishing real acting careers. We always had a soft spot for slinky ...

The top Japanese porn star Minamo has appeared in an advertising campaign for leading Japanese lingerie brand Ravijour. She is modeling various holidays-themed underwear items that are now available from Ravijour stores and online. She is also holding a promotional meet-and-greet event for the brand in Shinjuku in January, where you even get a signed Minamo-Ravijour mug. We adore Minamo and she looks ravishing in the Ravijour lingerie, which comes in an erotic red. In keeping with the "holiday collection" theme, the lingerie is festively colored. A Christmas campaign for a ...

We've said it before and we'll say it again: the fashion magazine Anan is the place to go for jaw-dropping lingerie photo shoots. Alright, obviously the gravure weeklies like Friday and Playboy deliver the goods on a regular basis, but Anan makes us sit up and take notice, either because it's a model or celebrity reinventing herself or just simply because of the sheer quality of the photo shoot. It's been doing it for several years now, establishing a real reputation for sexy shoots with idols and models. Past cover shoots that made a big splash include: Kana Kurashima (2021), Ayaka Miyoshi ...

We've said it before and we'll say it again, once more for the people at the back: Japanese lingerie advertising is the place to go to see some of the country's hottest gravure models and music idols in scantily clad attire, often hotter than the more placid and conventional aesthetic of gravure that we encounter on the pages of the weekly magazines. The two big names in the industry are, as regular readers will know, Ravjour and Peach John. The latter has picked 19-year-old Aika Sawaguchi (沢口愛華)) for their next brand ambassador. The up-and-coming gravure star is not really typical ...

Things about gender are not always clearcut in Japan. Some of the guys can spend as much time and money on their skincare and hair as the ladies. Styles of haircuts and clothing too are not always divided down the conventional male-female divide, from the male kimono to the elaborate styling of nightclub hosts. And that's before we even get into the deep and rich world of crossdressing and transgender. While we will leave the cultural theory implications about this to the armchair philosophers among our readers, we were delighted to come across this story about the apparent new hit in the ...

You've read the manga, seen the TV anime, and watched the movie. Now you are ready for the mountain of Demon Slayer merchandise. You've also enjoyed the unofficial parody spin-offs like, the Mitsuki Nagisa porn, the blow job masturbator toy, and the bamboo gag face mask. What about some sexy lingerie? You might be forgiven for thinking that these underwear sets are spin-offs by an apparel company trying to make a quick yen with some Demon Slayer design lookalikes -- but amazingly, these are official merchandise items offered by Bandai. Nor are they even the first. The set of ...

What kind of female bust do you like? It's a question we often ponder in various ways for far too long each day. Apparently, we're not alone and a lingerie company in Osaka even went so far as to do an online survey to find out the answer. In mid-September, Maruko asked 800 people, even spread across their twenties, thirties, forties, and fifties, and half men and half women. Despite what gravure idols and adult video might have you believe, it's not as simple as guys always want huge breasts (in fact, we're written before about how trends show that Japanese men like smaller breasts, ...

She's certainly proved that a woman's career as a model and "idol" can really come into its own in her thirties. After releasing a bestselling photo book in late 2019, Minami Tanaka became the face of leading Japanese lingerie brand Peach John. That quickly yielded some stunning results, as we reported about earlier in the year. But that was just the appetizer, it seems, since 34-year-old Minami's latest shoot for Peach John sees her strip off and go (almost, very almost completely) nude. Wearing a short, see-through panty girdle, she is posed with the camera with her nude butt and back ...

One of the unexpected (but very welcome) aspects of the coronavirus pandemic was the response of adult brands in Japan, which began offering fetish face masks. As such, perhaps this update was inevitable. Costume brand Erox has taken the now-ubiquitous face mask and transformed it into sexy underwear. What, like that idol already did with the free government-supplied masks back in 2020? And like that political candidate did on her election campaign posters? Yes, but this time the results are a little less homemade! The Face Mask Underwear is a set of four masks that you wear like a bra or ...
