We all know that celebrities, especially female celebrities, often face abuse online. But does that extend to virtual celebrities like VTubers?
Virtual Entertainment, the operator of the VTuber agency VSPO!, updated its website on April 10, giving its response to defamation and other actions against its affiliated talent.
Just because the characters are virtual and so don't have "feelings," the copyright holders are not going to stand idly by while netizens defame their creations.
Regarding the character Nazuna Kaga (pictured), the agency announced, "We have identified the person who ...
Young entrepreneurs are always worthy of praise. Young female entrepreneurs perhaps especially so. But the response to Mizuho Ieiri has been more muted, particularly among male netizens.
The International Christian University student has just opened a luxury Korean BBQ restaurant in Shibuya, central Tokyo, using ¥60 million of her own money.
Aiming to become financially independent and retire early, the 24-year-old has spent six years at the prestigious college but has still not graduated because she was so busy working. Doing what? Well, she wasn't interning at an office (or, ...
The sisters Kei and Rei Jonishi have posed together for a sensual gravure photo shoot for Weekly Playboy featuring the two idols in alluring lingerie and swimwear.
Kei Jonishi is the older of the sisters, now 31 years and a member of Osaka music group NMB48 from 2010 to 2017. She has since done work as a model but has left a couple of agencies, and hasn't released a solo photo book (digital or print) for a few years.
Rei Jonishi is still just 24 years old and also a member of NMB48 since 2016. She released her most recent print photo book in March last year, and also features in the ...
Miku Ikuta debuted in the adult industry in 2017 and gained a following until she retired in February 2023. She then announced her marriage in April 2024.
The 28-year-old ex-performer recently sat down for an interview with Spa! about her post-porn life. We have translated some extracts.
Q. You debuted in June 2017. How did you end up on the path to becoming a JAV performer?
Originally, I was a huge fan of Ebisu Muscats (an idol group featuring porn stars). But when I was watching their show, I didn't know they were sexy actresses. I just saw them as pretty girls. I wondered who they were ...
The gravure idol Tayu Anio has caused a bit of a stir by proudly posting a selfie on social media that features her armpit hair.
The 25-year-old posted the viral image at the end of March. It features not just a few strands of armpit hair, but long hair that she has even dyed to match the color of her regular hair.
It's not the first time. She has also not hidden her armpit hair in past shoots and selfies, and it seems that her decision to grow her armpit hair led her to leave her agency in 2022 and go freelance.
In 2023, she released a nude photo book (inevitably, her other very ...
The gravure idol and actress Nanaka Yano has done her first sex scene.
Yano is shown riding her lover in the adultery-themed TV drama Saretagawa no Fukushu (Revenge of the Betrayed). She rides him in the cowgirl position, though with her hands clutched to her chest to cover her breasts. His hands are also caressing her tits, which is great for him but not for the viewer. She arches her back as she rides him. The man then sits up to kiss her and hold her body close to him.
As far as we know, this is her first sex scene (and one of her first major roles).
Nanaka Yano won Best ...
Ayaka Miyoshi has got the nation's pulses racing with the preview images that show her in character for the fifth entry in the Kingdom film series.
In Kingdom: Tamashii no Kessen (aka Kingdom 5), which is released July 17 in Japan, she plays the female general Ka Rin, and Miyoshi in costume looks suitably sexy and tough. She could definitely conquer any male army!
The costume designers have certainly tried to emphasize her bust as much as possible, and leave much of the rest of her body on display. We're getting major Ursa supervillain vibes.
Created by Yasuhisa Hara, Kingdom is a manga, ...
She is now in her thirties and, despite being still one of the most famous gravure idols in Japan, it was inevitable that this day would come: Jun Amaki is to retire this summer.
Yes, it's sadly time to say sayonara to one of the cutest and bustiest of gradols in Japan.
She announced this a few days ago to accompany her appearance in the current issue of Weekly Playboy. There is also a tie-in digital photo book, appropriately called Retirement, now on release. The resulting storm of publicity Amaki's announcement has generated has helped send the book up the Kindle charts.
Amaki was at ...
Discussions are underway regarding a review of the Prostitution Prevention Law, including the possibility of penalties for those who pay for sex services. According to a report in the Asahi Shimbun on March 31, the discussions draw on data from a large-scale survey of 8,000 people revealing that approximately 48% of men living in Japan have used sex industry services at least once in their lives.
The survey was undertaken by a team including researchers from the University of Tokyo. It was conducted online in July 2022, targeting 8,000 people (4,000 men and 4,000 women) aged 20-49. Its main ...
