Mana Sakura is a major AV star right now, so much so that she even has her own luxury naked figure. But she isn't content with just fame and fortune. She wants more challenges. So she has reinvented herself as a writer and director. She has directed a video in which Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un are not world leaders blustering at each other about nuclear war, but rather best buddies. Given Trump's state visit to Japan and South Korea this week, the timing of the satire is perfect. To be fair, the video, which Sakura has said is intended to promote world peace, has been funded by Bonx as ...

The "hair nude" is a curious Japanese-English term. It refers not just to naked flesh; it's naked flesh specifically with genital hair.

The 22-year-old was kissed by Popteen model Koji Konishi on the aptly named ...

The old favorites are the best. We are pleased to welcome actress Saki Takaoka back to the big screen. Now 40 years old and still a stunner, Takaoka will be performing her first nude scene in 17 years in a new film, Monster, to be released in Japan on April 27. She is well known for her nude scenes in films in the 1990s (like Crest of Betrayal in 1994 -- see the first pic below) and the "hair nude" (full-frontal nude) photo book one, two, three she released in 1995 in her heyday. (Such celebrity "hair nude" photo books were really popular in the mid-1990s.) She stopped performing ...
