I've said it before but I'll say it again. Japan is too sexy for America. This even means that books are apparently too much too! Kids in New Jersey will have a tougher job finding the Murakami mega-seller in their local libraries now, since one school have banned it for too much sex. Sure, there's a bit of lesbianism, the odd one night stand... but isn't actually all the suicide more shocking? Apparently the book should still be around the state but one school removed it from a summer reading list for teenaged students, and this might surely just be the tip of the iceberg. Well, ...

Yuriko Yoshitaka, star of the live action remake of comic Gantz, didn't always make her living being a headliner in big manga blockbuster movies. Her first big break had her naked on her back under guys with lots of tattoos and piercings. The now 22-year-old actress is known for her sweet personality and her acting chops. Her first big role was in the movie "Snakes and Earrings" where she played a troubled youth whose life gets turned around by a split tongued tattooed rebel. And if you want to see Yuriko squirm and scream as she is getting screwed, watch the film. Talk ...

A new film explores the feelings of war guilt for Japanese people. Caterpillar is about a soldier, haunted by his experiences of torture and rape in China during the war, who returns to Japan a hero... but without any legs or arms. Though he is torn apart internally by his feelings of guilt for his actions in Asia, he is still very keen of screwing his wife! She obliges like a good woman was expected back then (and still now!), despite the obvious practical difficulties of having sex with a severely disabled man. The director, Koji Wakamatsu, actually got his break in the industry ...

This is an interesting topic and one that I get quite angry about. Why is the mainstream Japanese entertainment world so coy about sex scenes and nudity? TV is a joke! Not a nipple in sight. If you want titillation from a "normal" Japanese movie, good luck! And don't even get us started on the mosaic censorship that invades even simulated sex scenes. Talk about ruining the dramatic suspense... Anyway, here's a round-up of some of the Japanese actresses who are less inhibited. Rinko Kikuchi is fast-establishing herself as the only actress to strip off. She did it first in Babel ...

It's time to go back in history and prove that the Japanese have always been an erotic lot. Do you all know the tale of Sada Abe (阿部 定)? Born in 1905, she is infamous as the prostitute/maid who asphyxiated her lover and boss, Kichiro Ishida, in an inn after days of continuous sex. Kichiro was the owner of the eel restaurant where Sada worked and he soon seduced his employee. They made love for the first time to the accompaniment of geisha singing, before eventually decamping to the 1930s equivalent of a love hotel, where they stayed for four days screwing non-stop. After ...

A new Japanese movie called Air Doll (空気人形) has been released. We always suspected that it was about time mainstream society took an interest in our ways, and could this be start? The story, about a man who purchases a sex doll that comes alive, is sure to appeal to our sensibilities and that of regular readers of this blog. We also love the super cute Korean actress Bae Doo-na (above), who plays the eponymous doll. What's more, our sources tell us she spends much of the running time au naturel! But don't be satisfied with just a movie. Check out the superb range of sex ...
