One of the viral stories on social media in Japan this week was the announcement by the YouTuber fukurena that her husband, fellow YouTuber Guard Man, had cheated on her with a shemale prostitute while she is pregnant with their child. Everyone wants to fuck guys with tits. Or is it chicks with dicks? It all gets a bit confusing, especially when you start exploring the world of futanari fetish in Japan. This is very much the latter: female characters who are born as women but happen to have penises in addition to the usual female features and personalities. It's a fantasy that unfolds ...

Two of our favorite ladies in gravure, together in one shoot. Former AKB48 idol Mariya Nagao and model Yume Hayashi recently appeared together in an alluring lingerie shoot, which appeared in Friday just before Golden Week. Such shoots with two gradols invariably have a lesbian undertone, even (or perhaps especially) when it's two sisters. The 32-year-old Mariyagi has done these kinds of "joint" shoots before with her friend, Jun Amaki, who is set to retire from gravure this summer, sparking a million male fantasies of a threesome with them. Mariyagi also photographed one of ...

Joshi Spa! recently interviewed the adult video performer Mana Sakura as she reaches a milestone. In addition to being a porn star, Mana Sakura is a novelist, most famously writing stories based in her experiences in the industry. Her latest novel, Child Substitute, came out in February and is about pregnancy and childbirth. It marks a decade since her literary debut. Though her porn output has heavily decreased (even if she does have a new SOD Star release out later this month), the 33-year-old Sakura has not officially retired, and has now been a firm part of the industry for an ...

If a certain President of the United States once boasted of having binders of women, then Hideto Sakai has -- naked pyramids of them? One of the viral trends on Japanese social media since the start of May has been a video and images of a "human champagne tower" that Sakai supposedly ordered. The Minato ward businessman asked the female staff at an exclusive bar in Roppongi to strip naked and form a tower, onto which he poured champagne. It is a kind of twisted version of the super-expensive drink you can order at a host or hostess club. In the video, six naked young women -- wearing masks ...

The Devil wears . . . not much at all? Ayaka Miyoshi turned up for the Japanese premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 wearing a revealing something. The 29-year-old was dressed in a kind of suit with a black jacket, white shirt, and black tie, except that the shirt only came halfway down, with the result that she left much of her under-boob on show for all the world to see. Miyoshi is not the bustiest of ladies, so the resulting bulge was quite modest, but there was no mistaking what was visible under the shirt. She seems to be channeling more Marlene Dietrich than Andy Sachs or Miranda ...

Foreign news outlets are going wild with disgust over an underground idol's fan service in which she lets men sniff her armpits. Hari Matsumoto, formerly a member of Miracle for Z, offers a service in which her male fans can get up close and personal with her armpits, instead of the usual handshaking fan service at events. Outlets like the South China Morning Post, the Times of India, and Vice have published somewhat sensational and clickbaity articles claiming that the idol has sparked "outrage" in some corners. And now, as often the case, things have come full circle, with ...

We do love the gravure comeback. Sure, it's sometimes just a marketing gimmick, a manufactured framing of a return in order to generate headlines. Other times, a comeback genuinely raises a nostalgic smile as we remember when the idol (and we) were younger, and marvel at how good they still are. Recently, comebacks have been popular, with top stars from the 2000s returning to gravure for an anniversary or career boost: Nozomi Sasaki, Megumi Kagurazaka, Erika Sawajiri, and Atsuko Maeda. But most of these ladies are still in their forties or even late thirties. What about those stunners from ...

Nozomi Sasaki is celebrating 20 years in the industry with a new calendar out on June 9. The Akita native was a favorite of the late 2000s. She made her debut in 2006 and established herself in gravure as well as acting roles. With her pure-looking face and waif-like body, she was one of the most eligible women in entertainment, and ultimately married comedian Ken Watabe in 2017. They have two kids together, though their marriage was rocked by scandal when Watabe's affair hit the headlines with lots of salacious detail about toilet sex in Roppongi. The scandal even inspired its own adult ...

The number of sex services and brothels for women in Japan is gradually on the rise. The number currently registered on the sex industry information site Kaikan is said to be around 400 nationwide. A new book, Thoughts on Money, Care, and Desire After Using a Sex Service for Women Because I Was Lonely, written by Chiaki Fujitani and published by Chuokoron Shinsha in March, discusses this rapidly developing industry. Shueisha Online recently interviewed the author about the trend. The following is an edited translation of the article. In recent years, female-oriented sex establishments ...

Many gravure idols struggle to reinvent themselves when their modeling career starts to wan, but Rin Takahashi has demonstrated that you can do this with aplomb -- and completely transform your body at the same time! The 35-year-old formerly curvy gradol has shifted careers by becoming a personal trainer, toning herself in the process into a muscular, athletic, and tanned beauty. A recent before-and-after viral photo shared by Garen Takizawa really brings home the extent of her physical journey, which she herself announced at the start of 2026. She lost around 17 kilograms in two years by ...
