In August, a "sexually explicit" event featuring an adult video filming vehicle was held in and around a municipal park in front of JR Nakano Station in Nakano ward, west Tokyo.
The event was the "Pink Bon Odori," held on August 1 at Nakano Central Park. It was sponsored by the ward.
At a press conference on September 8, Mayor Naoto Sakai apologized. "It was inappropriate, as it took place in a public space frequented by children," reports the Sankei Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun.
Sakai clarified that no sexual content was mentioned in the sponsorship application.
The "Pink Bon Odori" was a ...

We all love Japanese porn stars. We all want to have sex with them.
But would you want to marry one?
Because of the nature of their profession, porn stars sometimes face discrimination when it comes to marriage, parenthood, and further career options.
Those who have tried to develop new careers in the public eye have suffered criticism, such as Yua Mikami for her modeling and fashion brand work, and those who have openly shared details about their marriages and children have also received abuse online.

In Japan, porn is everywhere but thou shalt not see genitals.
Due to the wonders of the internet and mobile devices, people in Japan enjoy instant access to hardcore pornography, just like most other places in the world today.
But unless the producers want to incur the wrath of police and courts, domestically made porn still abides by the obscenity law in Japan, whose conventional interpretation is that you cannot show actual genitalia, hence all those cocks and vaginas are blurred out.
And it's also the case with foreign porn if you are a Japanese business selling it to Japanese customers ...
We love a good gravure comeback.
After 37-year-old Ami Tokito's return to gravure, Reiko Kato's reappearance after many years away, and Mayumi Yamanaka's comeback after marrying and having two kids, now comes Mari Okamoto.
Best known as an impersonator who could do a good impression of Ryoko Hirosue (whom she resembles quite strikingly) and who also made past forays into gravure, Okamoto married a music producer in 2015 and had a child, but they divorced in 2018. She remarried a Saitama politician in December 2023, though divorced again the following year.

This is a cautionary tale with a simple moral: if you hook up with a woman 20 years younger than you via a dating app, the chances are that she's not really into you (or at least, not solely into you because of, well, you).

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who will watch the watchmen?
It's a rare Tokyo Kinky article that begins with a Latin quotation, but sometimes the story justifies such a flourish. And this one is almost stranger than fiction.
