Ayana Shiramoto appears nude in The Box Man. The 2024 film, which is adapted from Kobo Abe's modern classic, is a typically weird story about a man who lives inside a box. That's basically the whole plot. Shiramoto plays a nurse who develops a kind of relationship with the protagonist. She walks around nude in several scenes, with lots of shots of her breasts and butt. There is one somewhat conventional sex scene where the two undress in front of each other and then embrace. We then see her lying on the floor naked. But the really weird scenes involve sexual activity while the ...

The latest celebrity scandal in Japan is the affair between baseball player Katsuki Azuma and popular porn star Jun Suehiro. The 29-year-old Yokohama DeNA BayStars pitcher's relationship with the 25-year-old JAV performer came to light in a Weekly Bunshun scoop late last week, after Suehiro was spotted visiting Azuma's hotel. Azuma has admitted the affair and apologized to his fans. He is married and has a daughter with his wife. However, it still isn't 100% clear if the woman was Suehiro, who has so far maintained silence on the matter. She looks like the porn star, who is known to be ...

Last year, we reported on the strange case of the Japanese guy with four "wives." The situation seemed straight out of a manga and yet it was true. In that case, the man and his harem were all relatively young. But age didn't stop another man. The 76-year-old Hirohito Shibuya lived with nine wives in Higashiyamato, a suburb of Tokyo. Technically speaking, since polygamy is illegal in Japan, eight of the women were his ex-wives and he was only married to one of them. Three of his children with the women also lived at the residence. Shibuya was found dead on Sunday of an apparent suicide, ...

A few years ago, we reported on the career of gravure idol Yuka Kosaka, who abruptly quit the industry in 2009, gained a lot of weight, made a brief comeback (with a semi-nude shoot), and then settled into a quieter life as a nursery school teacher from the age of 24. She did that for around a decade now, though the 39-year-old has also restarted some activities in the entertainment industry since last year. It seems she no longer works as a teacher due to health issues and instead focuses on entrepreneurial projects launching new schools, consulting for schools, and doing counseling. She ...

Is this what all Japanese maid cafes will be like in the future? With Japan's population aging at an alarming rate, one event in the city of Kiryu in Gunma demonstrates that it doesn't matter if you're young at heart. A maid cafe is open only once a month but is attracting attention and popularity from both customers and national media. This is not like a maid cafe in Akihabara, where you are likely to be served by a very young and cute lady. The maids are all aged 65 or older. According to a report in the Yomiuri, people are coming around Japan to meet the maids. At the year's first ...

Police in Hyogo Prefecture have arrested a fisherman on suspicion of illegally filming women at local beaches. The 53-year-old has admitted to using an infrared filter on a camera to take images of women in swimwear. According to a police announcement on January 15, Norimasa Miyake allegedly took photos of eight women in swimwear between July 2023 and July last year. The women were aged from their teens to their forties, and were taking part in swimming and running events at beaches in Akashi and Minamiawaji in Hyogo, and Tamano in neighboring Okayama. Police were tipped off to his ...

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 a 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 ...
