In mid-February, we shared some initial preview pics from Atsuko Maeda's comeback photo book, Beste.
The 34-year-old single mom, who was a member of the legendary first generation of AKB48 back in the day, looks ravishing in the blue and pink lingerie in the shoot.
The most explicit shots feature Acchan nude except for thong panties, while lying on her front with her hands covering her breasts, and revealing her alluring back and side boob.
It's all nice stuff in the idol-you-can-meet tradition of AKB48, though quite tamer compared to former SKE848 idol Ruka Kitano's recent photo book, ...
Long before we started Tokyo Kinky, we used to live in a different kind of kinky -- or rather, Kinki, as Kansai is also known (to amusing effect, unless you are a university bearing that name).
And it's tales like this that make us pine for our former stomping ground in Osaka.
We've been trying to find out more about a notorious site in woodland near the Yodogawa, the river running from Osaka to Kyoto, that is a homeless encampment. While that is not atypical for large rivers (Tokyo's Sumida River used to be similar, for instance,), this location is different because it has become what is ...
Porn star Karin Kitaoka has sex with chair in new AV release
February 26, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
It's even a really original and kinky scenario, or a desperate attempt to make a hit on a low budget.
The latest Japanese adult video release by Karin Kitaoka sees her play a schoolgirl who is so horny that she has sex with a chair. That's pretty much the whole setup. But it's a good one.
School is over. She's in the classroom, feeling all horny and hormonal, and she starts to pretend she's kissing a male classmate and licks her chair and desk, which eventually evolves into full-on intimacy with the furniture.
She begins with a recorder, which is naturally uses to probe her vagina. ...

Former SKE48 idol and actress Ruka Kitano (26) released her second photo book, The Birth of Venus, on December 19, 2025.
It is the long-awaited follow-up to her first photo book, Want to Try Touching Me?, which came out in September 2024 and was a huge hit.
It took us a while but we have finally gathered some highlights from the second photo book.
Looking back, the 26-year-old commented at a launch event in Tokyo, "I felt a lot of pressure to surpass my first photo book while doing the shoot."
Her first photo book was nude, featuring lots of shots of Ruka's naked butt, and this ...
Is this the end for new soaplands in Tokyo?
February 24, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
We recently reported about the large-scale closure of soaplands around Japan following the shuttering of a major chain, possibly to avoid a police crackdown in the wake of the investigation into a major scouting operation that has had far-reaching consequences for the Japanese adult entertainment industry.
And with the closures, it brings to mind a peculiar legal situation for soaplands in Tokyo: according to the regulations governing sex services, you are not allowed to open an establishment in the city, with the exception of a few blocks near Yoshiwara, the old red-light district of Tokyo. ...
Japanese contact lens brand Cunte launches, people respond as expected
February 23, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japanese contact lens maker Ace has just launched a new brand called Cunte.
Yes, that's not a typo. Ace really did decide to call its new brand of one-day color lens Cunte, and to advertise it with music idol Amu Nigemizu (of Kyururin te Shitemite and Team Strawberry)
There's nothing quite like seeing publicity photos with a cute young Japanese woman fronting a campaign called Cunte.
Even better, the lineup is described as "Cunte special charms." Indeed, cunt does have special charms aplenty.
Apparently, it's meant to be a combination of "kyun" and "cute," the former an ...
Ex-AKB48 idol Megu Taniguchi models for jaw-dropping Ravijour lingerie campaign
February 20, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
Former AKB48 idols have been in the news again recently, from the first generation of idols like Atsuko Maeda (releasing her first photok book in 14 years) and Haruna Kojima (still ravishing at 37) to more recent members of the supergroup like Megu Taniguchi.
The 27-year-old Taniguchi, known as Omegu to fans, is now promoting Ravijour lingerie as part of a new campaign for the brand announced this month.
She was a member of AKB48 from 2013 to 2024. Fans are celebrating how stunning she looks in the revealing Ravijour lingerie, which revels in her slinky body.
Doing a stint as a ...
Busty Rio Teramoto returns to gravure for first time in five years
February 19, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
The gravure idol and actress Rio Teramoto is to make a comeback after five years.
In the intervening time, she has focused on her acting career, including teasing us with an almost-nude scene in the Netflix drama Sanctuary, in which she played a hostess.
Incredibly for someone who seems to have been around so long, she is still only 24 but hasn't released a photo book in six years.
Teramoto's second release comes out on April 1 and was shot in Perth, Australia. "This is my first gravure shoot in five years," she wrote on Instagram to her fans. "I'm grateful to everyone who waited for ...
Former AKB48 idol Atsuko Maeda releases Beste, first photo book in 14 years
February 18, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
Fans of early period AKB48 idols are in for a treat right now with the recent photo shoots of Haruna Kojima, who looks ravishing at 37, and the new photo book by Atsuko Maeda.
Maeda has established herself as a serious actress since leaving the idol group in 2012, having been with it since the very beginning. She also got married, had a child, and then divorced. Today, she's a 34-year-old single mom.
Japanese idol groups are often premised on members with girl-next-door looks and whose fandom emphasizes their normality. This was very much the case with AKB48 too, so much so that it's ...
Paying for sex may become illegal in Japan
February 17, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
In Japan, it is currently illegal to receive money for sex, but not to pay for sex. In other words, a sex worker's customer is not doing anything wrong in the eyes of the law, though the sex worker and the service she works for may well be in breach of the law.
A way around this is that sex workers may not always provide full service, at least nominally.
But in the wake of the moral and media panic over increased visible signs of prostitution in places like Okubo Park on the outskirts of Kabukicho, Tokyo, there are now motions in the government to redress the imbalance in the legal ...
