We have continued to follow the nudity and sex scenes on display in the Netflix Japanese-language serial The Naked Director, which charts the incredible career of Japanese porn giant Toru Muranishi.
Following our look at the nude sex scenes by gravure idol Ruri Shinato and actress Ami Tomite, we will focus this time on the nudity by Misato Morita.
The lesser-known yet beautiful 22-year-old actress Misato Morita (森田望智) plays Kaoru Kuroki, the eventual AV superstar.
In one episode early on, we see what she looks like masturbating in the shower. The scene also includes a realistic ...
We recently introduced the great Netflix drama series The Naked Director, which charts the rise and fall of adult video legend Toru Muranishi during the 1980s and 1990s.
Now we want to look in more detail at some of the sex and nudity it depicts.
The choice of Netflix to show the series is an apt one, since then it is now bound by the strange rules of mainstream Japanese broadcasting that forbids actual nudity. Being a streaming channel, Netflix can do the subject matter justice by allowing some actual bare flesh on screen.
One of the most naked is the gravure idol Ruri Shinato -- long a ...
We previously introduced the legendary porn impressario Toru Muranishi when a documentary about him came out in Japan -- specifically, the last gasp of his major releases when he tried to create one of the most ambitious porn films ever shot.
The pioneer of POV shots and arrested several times over the years, Toru Muranishi is perhaps the most famous adult video director and producer from the 1980s and 1990s. That fame is set to reach new audiences with the release of a new Japanese Netflix drama starring Takayuki Yamada.
The Naked Director charts the rise of Muranishi's porn production ...
It's rainy season here in Tokyo, which means heavy showers almost every day. What better excuse to stay indoors watching AV, testing out adult toys, and searching for Tokyo Kinky stories?
Doing just that, we came across this great vintage image of a late 1960s model showing off not only some great wear for the rainy season but also her cute nipples. Fashionable tits indeed.
Underneath her white shirt she is clearly sans bra and her great breasts are poking through the fabric. Now if only there were ladies actually like this on the streets of Tokyo, we would certainly venture out not ...
It's May 1st, the inaugural day of the new Reiwa era. And what better time to take a gander at some old porn from this cache of images recently shared online?
Strictly speaking, we reckon these adult magazines come from the Showa period, which ended in 1989, rather than the past three decades of Heisei, but there might be some overlap. Online searches seem to reveal nothing, so they are probably quite obscure.
We just love the titles: from "Visual Communication Magazine for Young Adalt" (sic) and "Fucky-up" (sic) to "Rape me" and "Sexual Les Girls." The shoots themselves range from the ...
We stumbled upon this great Twitter feed detailing a report by Shinbunka, the publishing industry trade journal in Japan, about the decline of the much-loved porn magazine vending machine. It also cites from an interview with the photographer Tetsuya Kurosawa, who has documented the vending machines (visiting some 500 locations along the way!).
It's true, we haven't seen one for many a moon. Here's why.
At the peak of the adult vending machine boom, there were some 50,000 machines nationwide in the 1970s. That lofty number has been reduced to a mere fraction now.
What are left are often ...
The wonderful Mulboyne, a boundless source of so much trivia and fascinating information about Japan, has posted a few images from past streaking incidents in Japan.
We wanted to share these with our readers, along with some further commentary.
Japan is a culture of pubic bathing, so public nudity is hardly much to write home about. But streaking, where one runs naked through a public place, is different: it is done for attention or as a protest, and is pronounced like a foreign word in Japanese.
It was applied first, it seems, in the early 1970s to describe a rash of incidents ...
What was sex in Japan like in 1991?
That's probably not a question you hear enough. But given that the Heisei period is about to end with the current emperor's abdication next spring, what better a time than to look back on what people imagined sex should have been like back in the early days of the era?
We stumbled upon some scans of a spread from the April 1991 issue of Deluxe Beppin, an adult magazine published in the 1980s and 1990s in Japan. We found them on the fascinating portal of vintage sexiness that is Deluxe Beppin Maniac.
The spread is an ambitious and impressive to ...
As the Heisei period enters its final months, what better time to look back to... the Showa days!
Clearly there is still something alluring about the 1970s and 1980s, given the way idol Yumi Asahina's recent photo book brilliantly imitated their vintage charms, and the references to these older style of shoots made by Iori and Rukino.
We wanted to take a trip back in time and pick out five examples of Japanese ladies who hit it big back in the 1970s and 1980s. (This isn't actually our first stab at doing this of list. For other examples, check out the selection we made back in ...
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 ...
