Nogizaka46 has announced that Renka Iwamoto will be suspending her activities with the group after "private photos" leaked online.
Those photos show the 20-year-old, a member of Nogizaka46 since 2016 (when she was all of 12), posing with and hugging a man who is presumed to be a boyfriend. Nogizaka46 and such Sakamichi Series groups, like those in the AKB48 Group, have an quasi-official no-boyfriends policy for their members, because it destroys the illusion for their fans that they could date the idol one day. It is not clear at this point how the photos leaked.
Instead of publicly ...
An Anzu is advertised as a former gravure idol who has made the switch to adult video.
These cases are actually quite common and sometimes it's just marketing guff, or -- as recently with Kanna Seno -- the initial gravure "career" was already planned as a publicity boost for the AV career.
An Anzu does seem to have worked in gravure, but either under another name or without much success. We could find some info on her first image DVD, released last July, but not much else.
Boasting I-cup breasts, it's not difficult to see why 20-year-old An Anzu would appeal to porn producers.
Her ...
In December 2023, we wrote about the incredible Fumie Nakajima, who proves that age is no obstacle to having a slender and sexy body, and continuing to release gravure videos and do photo shoots.
Now aged 56, Fumie Nakajima has released another photo book. Far from hiding her age, the publication embraces it: the title is simply #56. The cover features Nakajima in an alluring, semi-nude pose, with a wet shirt clinging to her body and with her panties half pulled down.
Last year, she marked 35 years since her debut. Having once retired from gravure at the age of 39, she made a comeback at ...
In Tokyo, we always see signage warning to be on the lookout for chikan (train groping) at stations and inside carriages. The government and police frequently issue awareness and prevention campaigns. We see videos on social media of passengers detaining a perpetrator or of suspects fleeing dangerously across the rails between platforms. And of course, there's no missing the presence of women-only carriages on most lines during rush hour periods.
But how common actually is chikan groping in Japan?
According to one new survey, it's very common: more than half of women in Tokyo have ...
Just days after devouring the absolutely incredible sex scene by Park Ji-hyun in Hidden Face, we're now watching the new Korean TV drama series The Queen Who Crowns.
The series on tvN and Korean streamer TVING stars Cha Joo-young, who regular readers will remember from 2023, where she made a very big impression in the Netflix series The Glory with her stunning breasts (though these were possibly enhanced by CGI).
Cha Joo-young appears in a sex scene in episode one (watch the clip here) but besides a brief glimpse of her breasts, you basically can't see anything due to dark lighting, quick ...
Earlier this week, we wrote about the brilliant Japanese porn parody of the Korean Netflix series Squid Game. Of course it's called Squirt Game.
Now comes a source of inspiration closer to home.
Ever year, the Japanese and international media is full of news about a record-breaking tuna auction bid. Often these bids are publicity stunts, done by people like the head of conveyor-belt sushi chain Sushiro.
This week, a 276 kg bluefin tuna fetched ¥207 million, which is a cool $1.31 million, at the first auction of 2025 at Toyosu wholesale fish market (the successor to Tsukiji market). This ...
Everyone is going wild about Park Ji-hyun's stunning sex scenes in the Korean erotic thriller Hidden Face.
The 30-year-old Korean beauty is nude in two hot scenes in the film, including a nice shower scene that shows off her pale skin and finely shaped breasts and butt.
But the hands-down highlight is a passionate sex scene in which her lover pulls off her clothes, intensely sucks one of her nipples, caresses her breast, fingers her, and then pounds away while holding her legs up high to go really deep inside her.
Park Ji-hyun is also shown riding him in the cowgirl ...
The new Taiga drama Unbound has started on public broadcaster NHK. The period drama is an institution on Japanese TV, running for a whole year and always attracting a lot of attention.
It typically broadcasts in the early evening and is pretty tame in terms of content (don't expect blood in the fight scenes, for instance).
As such, viewers were surprised to see nudity in the very first episode last Sunday. Japanese TV drama shows on the established linear channels generally features no nudity, even for late-night shows, though there are sometimes bizarrely non-nude sex scenes.
The nude ...
Squid Game has inspired a brilliant Japanese porn parody, Squirt Game.
From the player and guard costumes to the publicity materials, there's no mistaking the source material for this release from adult video production company Das, here reinvented as Dasflix.
The female "contestants" in Squirt Game (code DASS00534) are played by Waka Misono, Mizuki Yayoi, Machi Ikuno, and Mitsuki Igarashi. Needless to say, the challenges the contestants face are far more intimate than in the original Netflix series.
Squid Game (known in Japan as Ika Game, using the Japanese word for "squid") is ...
The trial of former House of Representatives member Tamotsu Shiiki got underway at Tokyo District Court on December 24. He is standing trial for sexual assault of a junior high school first grader in August last year, having picked the runaway up in Kabukicho -- one of many such so-called Toyoko kids in the Shinjuku district -- and taken her to a nearby karaoke place knowing that she was underage.
At the karaoke parlor, the member of staff was concerned, because Shiiki and the 12-year-old girl did not seem to be a father and daughter. They asked for a name and phone number, and Shiiki gave a ...
