Who are the hottest haafu models and gravure idols in Japan? That is a question that weighs on our minds a lot of the time. Where else to share our ideas than here with our readers?
To keep things simple, we are going to exclude a lot of people, such as adult video porn actresses and general celebrities, to focus more on gravure idols and some regular fashion models.
We are also skipping the lovely ladies we already included on this earlier list many years ago. So if you don't see your favorite idol, check out the first list -- or place a suggestion in the comments below.
Here is our ...
We spend probably far too much of our time scouring Japanese porn news, parsing gravure idol developments, and checking out the latest kinds of Japanese adult toys to hit the market.
We try to balance content on this humble blog based on all three strands of our "research." Today we are taking a deep dive into the third one.
Though we usually confine our search to the newest offerings from Japan's top sex toy brands, it sometimes pay dividends to take a gander at the incredible pantheon of items already on offer.
We have collected together ten examples of strange, wacky, unusual but ...
Let's put the "video" back into adult video. Sure, we love all the current and recent Japanese porn stars, but let's take a trip back a few more years to remember some of the stars of yesterday, long before there was streaming or even DVDs.
We previously looked at a list of AV stars from the 1990s and 2000s that Japanese men now in their forties remember fondly. Adding to this, here are seven retired porn stars that deserve to go down in history.
Before the comments start filling up with anger and fury, rest assured we're not saying that these ladies are the only ex-AV idols worth ...
A recent survey published by Nikkan Spa! asked 300 Japanese men in their forties to remember the porn they consumed when younger and vote for their favorite or most memorable adult video stars.
Multiple votes were allowed, which is just as well considering how stunning all these ladies are (were?).
Here are the result, ranked in order of the votes they received.
1. Ai Iijima (96 votes)
2. Yuri Komuro (87 votes)
3. Nao Oikawa (86 votes)
4. Sora/Sola Aoi (80 votes)
5. Rui Sakuragi (78 votes)
6. Hitomi Kobayashi (63 votes)
7. Hitomi Shiraishi (55 votes)
8. Mihiro (51 ...
Are you an ass guy? Then you're gonna love this.
Following the immense popularity of our previous lingering look at the under-appreciated charms of Japanese girls' butts, here is an update with some new favorites.
We made selections from currently active gravure idols, adult video stars, actresses, and celebrities. From the plump to the curvy, the flat and cute, the pert and big, we hope there's something for everyone here.
For more examples, check out our "butt" posts on Tumblr.
As always, drop other ideas and suggestions into the comments!

We've been tinkering with this list of Japanese movie sex scenes for a long, long time, and finally think it's ready to share with readers.
What follows is a highly subjective list -- more our personal favorites than anything else -- and, for convenience sake, restricts itself to just the past 20 years or so. We will also continue to update it.
It was intended as an expansion or continuation of our previous list of Japanese actresses who are happy to do sex scenes -- there are fewer than you might think! -- and just grew from there.
Here are the ladies, arranged in alphabetical ...
The "hair nude" is a curious Japanese-English term. It refers not just to naked flesh; it's naked flesh specifically with genital hair.
What is "shocking" here is the display of pubic hair, the line by which art and entertainment is usually fettered in Japan. It is fine to have plenty of nudity in films and print publications, but to avoid the century-old ambiguous obscenity laws, people censored or did not show actual pubic hair.
The hair nude set out to deliberately show this bush taboo was something to be challenged, both legally and artistically.
While the likes of Nobuyoshi Araki ...
Here is an incomplete and imperfect list of East Asia's top sex scandals. Please share more examples in the comments below (but no links to sex tape leak sites, please).
We've divided the list by nation alphabetically.
China
Over in the People's Republic, the Chinese model Zhai Ling (aka Shou Shou) landed in hot water when an alleged sex tape leaked online.
Hong Kong
Perhaps the most famous case on this list, the Edison Chen photos scandal from 2008 brought down the career of one of Hong Kong's biggest stars at the time, led to death threats, and arrest for the person who ...
What are the dark secrets of the entertainment industry in Japan? Here is our subjective list.
1: Sex
Despite the control exerted by talent agencies over idols' private lives (who they can and cannot date, or in the case of some groups, not letting them date or have sex at all), the truth is that there is plenty of sex happening -- it's just not all that pleasant or consensual.
Makura eigyo (sleeping with people to get ahead, like the casting couch) is rampant at many levels of the gravure and idol industry, with female models and entertainers frequently having sex with older male managers ...
This is a working list of idols from AKB48 or sister groups like SKE48 who have graduated onto second careers in nude modeling and/or adult video (AV).
There are rumored to be others but these are what we know of. Share if there are others!
Momona Kito
The most high-profile recent graduate into the porn industry, Momona Kito starred in an ostensibly one-off porn release by Muteki as Yua Mikami. It was such a hit, she has since decided to do more and make a whole career of it.
Rina Nakanishi
Rina Nakanishi was the pioneer, laying the ground for the other idols who have followed in her ...
