Omotenashi indeed. Japan is still losing the fight against sexually transmitted diseases and infections, it seems, judging from the last syphilis figures that were announced at the start of the year.
In an uncanny, somewhat depressing repetition of a similar report from January last year, the syphilis epidemic shows no signs of slowing. In fact, it's getting worse.
The number of syphilis patients reported in 2017 topped 5,000 -- the first time it had hit such a level since records began.
The National Institute of Infectious Diseases has revealed that 2017 featured the worst data ...
Enako is one of the most popular (and diminutive) cosplayers in Japan. Her legions of male fans will do a lot and pay a lot to take her photographs, buy her merchandise, and admire her latest poses.
And now they can get a little bit closer to their goddess. Or at least, they could.
At the December edition of Comiket (Comic Market) in Tokyo, Enako's own (almost life-sized) dakimakura hug pillow was on sale at the Animate Group Booth.
The dakimakura was priced at the reasonable ¥12,000 before tax, available on on a first-come, first-served basis. The pillow measures a 160cm ...
Evidently in response to the coercion scandals that have hit Japanese pornography recent, the Adult Video Human Rights Ethics Organization has proposed a new guideline for AV production and distribution companies allowing actresses to halt the sale of their films or use of footage of their videos after they have been on sale for five years.
The guideline will come into effect from April 1, 2018 -- not because it is April Fool's Day but because April marks the start of the new fiscal year in Japan. There is no government or state pressure in regards to the guideline, so it is unsure how many, ...
There comes a point in every Japanese porn star fan's life when he (or she) has to accept the facts of reality.
Their favorite adult video idol will, at some point, retire from the industry, most likely into obscurity. Or they get married (at least, they do the rare thing of announcing this publicly while still famous).
Such is the case with Sola Aoi, the immensely popular JAV star who enjoys remarkable fame overseas.
Sola (or Sora) has not made an original porn release since 2011 but is still adored by legions of men, especially in China. Now, sadly, there is a further obstacle between ...
Idol Miu Nakamura's adult video debut was one of the most exciting of 2017 and we have been looking forward to her second porn release for months.
It's finally here and our anticipation was not in vain. The slinky, flat-chested 26-year-old former idol -- no stranger to doing to full-frontal nude shoots even before she joined Muteki's roster of porn talent -- has now released a new AV from the label Moodyz. The 239-minute epic (MIDE00502, Saikourin) came out on New Year's Day, or a few days before for the digital version.
It features four sessions of nakadashi sex (apparently Miu's ...
Being of that kind of mind, the Japan Suspicious Person Information Centre (JASPIC) conducted a seven-month study on "perverts" based on reports from police and municipalities. The Japanese term here is fushinsha, a "suspicious person." This, though, does not refer to spies or would-be thieves, but voyeurs, flashers and chikan (gropers).
JASPIC reports that 11,607 incidents were officially recorded from March to October this year, and of these 4,487 -- around 40% -- were in the vicinity of train stations.
Naturally, there are a lot of stations in Japan and most of the 4,487 are spread ...
Whatever happens to Japan's junior idols?
This is a controversial topic. Many find the idea of junior idols (or chidol) -- girls often as young as their tweens or even younger -- repellent and tantamount to encouraging pedophilia in the same way as lolicon.
However, it's worth remembering that many gravure idols start their careers in their late teens and are technically below the age of adulthood in Japan (20 years old). So it's not all about the specific genre of junior idols and things are very ambiguous when you start looking around.
After all, many music idols from groups like ...
Jukujo actress and model Norika Fujiwara stars in the YTV television drama Nemurenu Shinju (Sleepless Pearl).
In several scenes the 45-year-old Norika Fujiwara is shown having sex with two men (of quite varying ages), including up against a wall and in a bed.
We don't see any nudity, since this is Japanese television we're talking about, but we get to see her breasts being groped and neck snuggled by hungry lips. And check out those stunning legs and how stunning she looks in black.
Fujiwara is an well-known actress and ...
The South Korean film director Kim Ki-duk has been accused of assault and attempting to coerce a actress into performing sex scenes for his movie Moebius.
The unnamed actress has accused the critically acclaimed and award-winning Kim of slapping her during preparation to perform an unscripted, violent sex scene. The allegations first came out in the summer but there were some new developments this month. Now Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said that it has indicted Kim on a summary offense with a penalty of $4,570 (KRW5 million).
It is still not known who the actress was, ...
Since leaving AKB48, Mariya Nagao has been determined to carve out a career for herself by exploiting her assets.
While she hasn't gone quite as far of other AKB idols before her and done full nude or semi-nude shoots, lke Aika Ota recently, and certainly hasn't entered adult video like a prominent number of her fellow AKB and sister group graduates, she has shown us her killer body on more than one occasion. And what a stunner she is.
Now she has shown off her acting chops in a role that sees her do her first sex scenes. And judging by her performance, at any rate, she would seem to ...
