It's the video that launched a thousand imitators (and counting).
Pikotaro's PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen) video made "PPAP" one of the buzzwords of the year and inspired a whole meme industry.
No doubt it will blow over in a few weeks' time.
Until them we can enjoy the variations, not least this eye-opening one by gravure idol Jun Amaki.
The busty gal is best known for her "I cup" chest and being a petite 148cm. That's quite a combination. She's also a former member of the masked idols group Kamen Joshi.
She has created a version of Pikotaro's PPAP ...
We reported earlier this year about the AV debut of actress and model Anri Sakaguchi.
To appear in "What a day!!" the 25-year-old Sakaguchi (now going by just "Anri") is reportedly getting paid ¥120 million -- a suspiciously high figure considering she is a B-list celebrity.
She made her JAV debut on the Muteki label, which specializes in these kinds of career switchovers from gravure, music idol or mainstream entertainment. Past successes include with Yua Mikami/Momona Kito and Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki.
Most of these stars, though, do one or just a small number AV releases before ...
Japanese TV is not known for its quality but it at least never fails to impress with its latest nude novelties or risque antics.
Now a TV show has appeared featuring gravure idols wearing sexy bikinis. Nothing new about that. There are even shows about gravure idol in armor.
But these are "failed" gravure idols, ladies who haven't made it big (yet). The idea is that the minor idols make their last grasp at fame on the show, wearing everything from noren (the low curtains that hang over entrances in Japan) to toilet paper, kagami mochi (a New Year decorative rice cake) or even lids of ...
At the Japan Adult Expo 2016 on November 10th-11th, around 4,000 people attended, including many Japanese AV fans from other parts of Asia.
Held for the third time, the event features 200 AV makers and studios, and offers a great opportunity for fans to get close to their adult idols.
At the booth for Aroma Kikaku, which specializes in fetishes, Hibiki Otsuki was there to welcome fans.
KMP had the likes of Ayaka Tomoda and friends were on hand to pose for pictures.
Echoing the biggest adult trend of the year, Total Media Agency (TMA) -- despite the name, it's ...
Our new lust this month is the model Eriko Sato.
Eriko has posed nude in a butt-revealing series of shots for a new photo book.
First off, this is not the Eriko Sato we already know and love. She's now apparently given up her acting and modeling career for the joys of interracial marriage.
This Eriko Sato (different kanji, by the way) is a 26-year-old race queen and gravure idol who released her first photo book in late October. "Shiriaitai" is all about her butt, and it's easy to see why they went for that theme. The other Eriko Sato never went this far, more's the ...
Former AKB48 idol Satomi Kaneko has joined the growing ranks of idols who have graduated onto "sexier" and more revealing careers.
She has stopped short of doing actual porn yet her new gravure DVD (released on October 21st) is very explicit, full of close-up shots of her shaved you-know-what area.
Netizens are eagerly parsing the images to see if you can see her pussy hair. (You can't, but it's a close thing.)
The 26-year-old with the F-cup left her brief AKB career behind in 2007, since when she has turned to shedding her clothes to maintain an income.
And ...
A potential scandal threatens to engulf idol group NGT48, the Niigata spin-off of AKB48... or it may just blow over.
This time it involves cute idol Maho Yamaguchi, the 21-year-old 1st generation-member of the group.
During a live streaming session on the online platform Showroom on November 13th, she is accused of having sex with a boyfriend.
This has been denied by her management, though even they admit that Yamaguchi's decision to lie down on a bed and speak to the camera was poor judgment and likely to give the wrong impression.
In the video, which is now circulating freely on ...
It's become something of an annual tradition: November 8th is Ii Oppai no Hi (Nice Breasts Day), at least according to the Japanese Twittersphere.
Cue lots of lovely pictures of bust shared by gravure models and AV idols.
Here is porn star Kirara Asuka.
スーブーというエロ写メラマンに『はい朝日を感じて〜📸』『風が味方してるよ〜📸』とかまんまと乗せられて気付いたらノリノリで脱いでた。#いいおっぱいの日 pic.twitter.com/zmF83rVsJ7— 明日花キララ(きいたん) (@asukakiraran) November ...
When so many idols and models are releasing their own new photo book every month, how do you stand out?
Well, the producers of the new Ai Okawa photo book came up with a novel marketing strategy that will certainly take some beating.
It meant you could experience undressing the alluring fashion model with a "bra strap" attached to the reverse of her latest photo book. It allows the enthusiastic male reader to unclip the bra from Ai Okawa's naked back.
And when your Ai Okawa fantasies run dry (as if), you can even use the bra wrapping to practice your girl-undressing ...
Earlier this year Weekly Playboy already organized one of the best photo shoots ever when they brought together 50 gravure idols in one studio.
As part of its 50th-anniversary celebrations the magazine also put up a billboard in Shinjuku with life-sized images of top models.
Now the generous editors have followed up with 51 Japanese porn stars, all lined up naked in one mega assembly.
Sadly the nipples and pussie are censored for the online version (the print edition, maybe not so). What's the point of getting all this flesh together if you're not going to show it?!
We ...
