It's no secret how wildly popular the gravure model Miyako Akane is, so much so that she seems to be inspiring her own mini fetish sub-genres. She has a big following, not least because she rewards her fans with such things as making her porn debut (under the name Ema Yumekawa), wearing insanely sexy swimwear, and sparking a new street fashion trend for extreme body painting. In the past she has also posed nude and in a zentai body suit. But what if your obsession with the angelic-faced, big-chested model was more than just her body? What if you wanted her to be, well, missing ...

Shocking. Fluorescent. Gaudy. Loud. Vular. Neon. Flashy. Tacky. There's a lot of epithets that can be applied to this new cosplay style that is like body art on psychedelic drugs, though none of them quite capture it. Inspired by strange characters from anime, cinema and video games, behold the new Japanese subculture of ishoku-hada. Certain sections of the Interweb are currently abuzz with breathless talk of this bizarre body painting and cosplay niche, which literally means "unique skin" or "unusual skin". Like an "alien" version of gyaru, ganguro or yamanba trends, women dress ...

She's finally done it. Miyako Akane has answered our prayers by making the next logical step in her career and becoming a porn star this spring. Miyako Akane is a gravure idol and chakuero idol -- i.e., a busty idol who keeps her clothes on but barely (as opposed to AV idols, who do fully nude photo shoots all the time). After wowing the nation with her amazing H-cup bust in what may be the most incredible and revealing swimsuit in Japan as well as 360-degree virtual reality softcore porn, things must have been drying up for Miyako Akane... or she just wanted to take her career to the next ...

Like big boobs? Check. Like things being wrapped around big boobs? Check. Yes, this photo book by Yuji Susaki may have it all. Wrap the Boobs is a new photo book about Japanese girls with giant breasts (not quite bakunyu but getting there) and how wrapping their perfect jugs in things can heighten the visual feast. The photographer is previously known for his work with cosplayers like idol group Dempagumi.inc.. Models in the new photo book -- out now from Ichijinsha -- include Hikaru Aoyama, Mizuki Katase, Jun Amaki (formerly of the masked idol group Kamen Joshi), and the ...

Swimsuit makers Realise decided to release a very sexy front zipper swimming costume. They got Gravure model Miyako Akane to show off how good it looks. Now that's certainly one way to get people's attention on the beach. This alone would be worthy of our attention. But Realise's sexy and alluring design unwittingly inspired a whole meme in its own right. After Realise released some publicity images of the swimsuit design, the Twittersphere immediately got to work making their own NSFW erotic illustrated versions of how the same swimsuit might ...

The Japanese Zentai body suit fetish has evolved. Z x R is a "baptism" of a Zentai and rubber body contact fetish combo, fused with wet and messy sensations on the skin. The girls paint themselves and then enjoy the feeling of the sticky, dripping materials. Created by photographer Masataka "Sei" Satoh and models Miyako Akane and Eri Kitami, Z x R was showcased recently at Fetish Fes Osaka on November 2nd. For now, we're not sure what the results of this rubber paint play are going to be except a DVD and photo book, but we hope this spawns a new ...
