Now that Japanese actress and model Haruna Kawaguchi has just announced her marriage and pregnancy with a soccer star, the crown for most eligible women in Japan passes arguably to Kasumi Mori, the 31-year-old former announcer who is now working mainly as a model, and who clearly wants to be the new Minami Tanaka.
In 2024, she released her first photo book and has cemented her fame with some major contracts, perhaps most prominently as the current main model for leading lingerie brand Peach John (very consciously following in the footsteps of Minami Tanaka).
The brand has just ...
These are stunning erotic images from Peep Document, a classic voyeuristic photography magazine published in Japan in the 1980s.
Like with our previous showcase of 1980s Japanese voyeurism fetish photography, the images were originally shared by fintan (pinakotheca), taken from his incredible collection of Japanese subculture and erotica, which he scans and puts online, and typically offers the original publication for sale.
The 1980s was a decade of supreme confidence in Japan, with the bubble economy giving corporations huge bargaining power abroad and workers enjoying wild parties and ...
There's a new type of relationship emerging that's neither lover nor friend and spreading among younger generations.
These relationships include sofure (soine furendo, or sleeping-together friends), who do nothing but sleep side by side, reports AERA.
Other similar "-fure" relationships are hafure (hagu furendo, hugging friends), kisufure (kissing friends), and ofufure (ofuro furendo, bathing friends). These terms and relationships are allegedly gaining traction on social media and online platforms among Gen Z in Japan.
Can two people simply sleep together without any romantic feelings or ...

Whether you're a tits guy or an ass guy, there's no denying the importance of breasts and their dominance in the erotic mindset of our society. But there are breasts and there are breasts. What kind of breasts do you like?
It's an age-old question that has been posed before. This time, it was asked to 100 Japanese men and the results were analyzed in a 104-page book that visually examines the data to explore males tastes about female breasts.
The book was released in August last year by the publishing arm of the porn production company Prestige, which surely knows a thing or two about male ...
It's summer in Tokyo, which means temperatures in the high thirties and insane levels of humidity.
For decades, the government has encouraged corporations to allow their employees to dress down for the hotter weeks of the year, leading to the "Cool Biz" campaign that inspired a buzzword. Cool Biz usually means a loose shirt and no tie or jacket.
But as the summers grow hotter and longer, people are finally starting to wear shorts to work. A very sensible thing, most would agree, but it has apparently led to something called "leg hair harassment."
We say apparently, because the whole thing ...

On July 10, Nemuro Police Station in Hokkaido announced that a man in his forties had been defrauded of approximately ¥3.96 million in a scam involving sperm donation.
According to the police, the incident began on July 2 when a woman claiming to be a fashion designer followed the man on social media and initiated a conversation via the messenger app LINE. She hinted at romantic interest, telling him that "I want to meet you." This led the man to trust her, reports NTV.

A 22-year-old Japanese woman has been arrested for allegedly swindling over ¥400,000 from a man in his seventies.
The pair met on a dating app. Kanon Hiroshige is suspected of fostering romantic feelings in the man to induce him to send money, and even staging a ruse to make it appear as though she had died from an illness. The company employee from Yokohama has been arrested on suspicion of fraud.
Between last year, when she was a university student, and this year, she allegedly made false claims to a man in his seventies who was smitten with her. She told the man she needed ¥420,000 for ...
