Erika Minatogawa is riding the wave of scandal over her arrest on a drug charge earlier this year to launch a gravure career.
The so-called 32-year-old "Minato girl" and former race queen (grid girl), whose real name is Miho Okumoto, appears in the September 2 issue of Flash and has also released a digital photo book.
The eight-page semi-nude shoot features the alluring model with an H cup playing up to her self-professed femme fatale and party girl image.
Here are some sizzling highlights from the shoot.
Back in May, the tabloids were filled with salacious reports about ...
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.
Superintendent Koji Tsujimoto has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting an underage girl. He was a leading figure in Osaka police's "eliminate sugar daddy crime" squad, but it turns that he was himself engaged in sugar daddying (papakatsu) with the girl.
The 53-year-old, who was part of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters Public Safety Special ...
The mainstreaming of Tenga, Japan's most famous and design-savvy adult brand, continues now with the opening of an official store in Zozotown, one of Japan's biggest online shopping platforms, from September 3.
It will sell around 150 types of original Tenga apparel and other items normally available exclusively at Tenga Land (the brand's flagship store inside Tokyu Plaza Harajuku) and Tenga Store Tokyo. Until now, these have never been available online. It will also offer its intimate body care, sexual wellness, and massage items.
To mark the opening, Tenga is also selling some ...
The implications for generative AI and porn are manifold, from fully AI-created adult videos to photo books and other content featuring AI "idols" and models.
While the government is keen to use artificial intelligence to boost Japan's declining marriage rate, the police have already started cracking down on using AI to make "obscene" content.
What about the private sector? There's a lot of money to be made from AI and companies are developing services to sell to us, including romantic ones.
As long heralded by science fiction (Black Mirror, Her, Blade Runner 2049, inter alia), we may well ...
The model, dancer, and rapper Karen Kimijima was recently arrested at Naha Airport on suspicion of smuggling synthetic drugs MDMA and ketamine from Thailand.
Reported by Japanese news earlier this month, the arrest actually took place in mid-July.
The 28-year-old had just arrived at the airport in Okinawa from Thailand via Hong Kong.
According to officials, a small quantity of drugs were found in the pocket of a pair of shorts in Kimijima's suitcase on July 18.
This is not Karen Kimijima's first run-in with the law over alleged drug use. She was arrested in February 2018 for alleged ...
We've showcased the incredible work by fintan (pinakotheca) before. He finds often obscure and esoterica Japanese erotica, such as old magazines and photo books, scans them, shares them online, and then sells the original print copies to anyone interested.
Anyone with an interest in Japanese erotica, especially vintage erotica, should follow him on X or Instagram.
We've previously showcased the amazing images from a 1990 photo book called Binding Force: Japan’s First Facial Restraint Photo Book, shared by fintan in March.
More recently, he has explored the veritable gold mine that is ...
Eros and Thanatos are closely intertwined, Freud taught. And Asuka Watanabe embodies that curious entanglement.
The 30-year-old works as an occasional nude model but also had a former career as an embalmer -- specifically, the type of embalmer called a yukanshi, who specializes in the ritual washing of a dead body, as made famous in the Oscar-winning movie Departures (2008).
In a recent interview with the tabloid magazine Spa!, Watanabe explained more about her two professions. Here are some highlights.
Watanabe Asuka: When I researched about makeup, which I was interested in doing as a ...
While train gropers (chikan) are a well-known problem in Japan, people exposing themselves (particularly men to younger women) is another variant that combines the thrill of exhibitionism with the crueler fetish of enjoying the discomfort it induces on a vulnerable woman.
The classic choice of locations for such flashing is a public park, but it is also often done on a crowded train where the victim has no way to escape.
A train like the Shinkansen, which provides high-speed, long-distance rail services across Japan, might seem like an illogical choice. After exposing himself, the man has ...
The actress Aya Ueto is to release a new photo book in July.
Shot in Taiwan, Midday Reverie comes out on July 10 from Takarajimasha. The photographer is Kotori Kawashima, famous for his photos of a young toddler called Mirai, though he has done photo books for models before, such as Nanase Nishino and Asami Usuda.
Midday Reverie marks Aya Ueto's first photo book in 15 years. She turns 40 in September but, as the shoot preview images show, is still a remarkably beautiful woman. Don't expect any nudity, or even much flesh on display, though, since Aya Ueto has never had that sort of career ...
The ever-reliable and diligent fintan (pinakotheca) has done it again.
He assiduously seeks out old erotic art and photography books, buys them, scans them, resells the books, and then shares select highlights online. Whether due to personal preference or the quality of the material, he frequently features Japanese publications.
After our previous showcase of some of these last month, we cannot resist another set of images from obscure 1980s Japanese voyeur photography books and magazines.
If you're into voyeur fetish stuff or even a practicing Peeping Tom, this is surely pure catnip. ...
