As they have progressed steadily into their forties, the members of music band Tokio have become a marginal presence on the pop music charts. Instead, they have established themselves on Japanese television as one of the most popular presenters.
A scandal ripped through the lineup last year, however, when member Tatsuya Yamaguchi was exposed as having invited teenagers to his apartment and, apparently in a drunken state, having kissed one. He resigned from the group and left the entertainment world.
Tokio has soldiered on.
One of the remaining members, Shigeru Joshima, has found solace in ...
One of Japan's top adult video idols, Mion Sonoda, has announced her retirement from the industry in October, ostensibly for reasons of personal health.
AV performers frequently "retire" or "graduate," though this can sometimes just mean they reappear under a new contract with a different agency and production company -- and using a new professional name.
But this time it seems like a genuine retirement and Sonoda has announced the news with a personal message for her fans.
She entered the AV industry at the ripe old age of 19 and has since spent over four years delighting fans with her ...
Former AKB48 idol and now popular and successful actress Ami Tomite has released a new photo book.
Despite having several quite high-profile acting credits to her name, this is actually only the 25-year-old's second photo book. That being said, it's another "hair nude" full-frontal book, this time shot by photographer Keiko Nomura.
Her first came out in 2016 and was shot by the nude veteran Hajime Sawatari. This new effort is from the long-running Gekkan series and came out on August 30th.
Here are some shots.
These are highlights from her raw and sensual first photo ...
We already hinted at this last week when we showcased gravure idol Fumika Baba's sex scene in a recent TV drama series, but it's high time we gave her photo shoot for Anan a post of its own. Because it is frigging awesome.
The seriously busty model has burst into the mainstream with her recent acting credits and this latest cover for Anan (issue 2167, September 11th) is likely to cement her reputation.
Man, this is better than most of the shoots that appear in Weekly Playboy and the like.
Anan is nominally a fashion and lifestyle magazine but has a ...
We've had a thing for gravure idol Yumi Asahina for quite a while. We've, ahem, entertained ourselves by parsing her many photo shoots, especially the ones that exploit her ass for all its incredible worth.
She went fully nude for a hair nude photo book last year (her debut photo book) that had a seriously vintage feel.
But the 26-year-old, G-cup Yumi Asahina has also stripped for one of her many image video releases, which includes explicit shots of her amazing breasts and nipples.
In the video, the slinky Yumi also demonstrates how awesome paizuri would be with her bust through some ...
As former NGT8 idol's Maho Yamaguchi cements her recovery from the mistreatment she received at the hands of the group's management with her debut photo book, another ex-AKB group lady is determined to make her mark after graduating.
Previously a member of AKB48 from 2013 to 2017, Nana Owada releases her first photo book, Risutaato (Restart), which came out on September 15 amid a reasonable flush of publicity.
As we reported in August, Nana has chosen the semi-nude style of shoot to make a splash, including the classic tebura "hand bra" shot. In fact, though, the first leaked photos from ...
After her sexual assault and the subsequent scandal that engulfed the NGT48 management in late 2018, Maho Yamaguchi left the idol group under a cloud of trauma and fury. She has, however, decided to return to the entertainment and idol world -- but on her own terms.
As we reported last month, this involves a rather surprisingly provocative photo book. Given her history of assault, you might expect Maho to tone down the sexualization of her image. But it seems she is fine with that as long as she has management she can trust.
To further tantalize fans, now behind-the-scenes footage has ...
If a job needs doing, hire a professional.
And that's what the makers of the The Naked Director did.
For a drama series about the adult video pioneer Toru Muranishi, you need to include plenty of sex on camera.
We've already looked at the nude scenes in the Netflix series by the likes of newcomer Misato Morita, gravure idol Ruri Shinato, and former AKB48 Ami Tomite, among others. The makers even threw in a sex scene with a non-Japanese actress, Jade Albany Pietrantonio.
But for a truly realistic result, you need actual porn stars. And so the producers sensibly hired Nanami Kawakami ...
Anticipation is building over the adult video debut of a lady being trumpeted as the "beauty from Kobe."
Known only as Mino (美乃), the goddess has an insane F-cup (?) bust and will apparently release her first porn DVD at the end of October from Eightman Production.
Whoever she is and wherever she came from is irrelevant at this point. I mean, just look at that body. And at those breasts.
The hair nude (full-frontal) shoot photos have already set the Japanese internet on fire. Let's now see if that translates into DVD sales and then an extended porn career for this ...
In her latest TV drama series role, busty gravure model Fumika Baba is shown in an AKB48 cosplay costume being sexually assaulted.
In Na mo naki Fukusha Zegen (Nameless Revenger Zegen, 名もなき復讐者 ZEGEN), Baba plays a prostitute who gives sensual massages to her clients before sex. One session when she is dressed up like an AKB48 idol is rougher than expected and she is raped by the client.
While that is certainly rougher sex than the kind we usually like to watch, there's no denying that Fumika looks great in an AKB48 costume.
Based on a novel, the TV series is ...
