At Tokyo Game Show 2016, all the fuss was about virtual reality. Not being much of the gaming types, our interest in the latest consoles and systems was minimal -- unless it is virtual reality for adults.
As usual, our main attention was on the booth babes, known as "companions" in Japanese.
These ladies, one step away from race queens and ring girls, and two steps away from gravure idols, are anything but a virtual pleasure.
It's even better when they take their clothes off. And even, even better when it's the ladies themselves taking off each other's clothes.
And ...
The gentrification and renaissance of Yoshiwara, the former licensed red-light district (and today, an unlicensed red-light district), continues.
After a designer souvenir shop we saw earlier in the year now comes a new book shop, Kasutori Shobo. The store opened on September 3rd in the heart of Yoshiwara, selling books reprinting valuable resources and history about Yoshiwara and the adult side to the Showa era.
Alongside other publishers' titles, the shop also publishes its own books. The owner, Goh Watanabe, raised money via a crowdfunding service to do this, achieving his target ...
This nude virgin office lady (OL) has taken to Twitter to show off her glorious slender body... She first slips off her towel and poses naked for us in her bathroom floor.
Her breasts are magnificent: small but just pert enough to suck and grab.
Perhaps the best, though, is when she shows us her body with a plunging v-line, her nipples barely covered by the straps.
And then she lies down and starts to feel herself up with her horny fingers... We love the contrast of her vibrant pink nail varnish and her pale skin.
See ...
Want to see what Kanna Hashimoto is like in bed? The sweeter-than-sweet is unlikely to be making her actual porn debut any time soon (though many of her music idol peers do have a habit of "graduating" into adult careers, so it's not completely off the books), but the next best thing is this Kanna Hashimoto lookalike porno.
Kanna, if you recall, burst into the mainstream in 2013 after capturing the hearts of Japan's netizens. Since then she has become a major force in the music idol industry and fronts big advertising campaigns.
This porn title stars Kaname Otori, who was born in ...
Back in August we reported on the return of the "Futomomo" photography exhibition series, featuring thigh fetish images by Yuria.
Themed exclusively around Japanese girls' thighs, after an exhibition in 2015 the new show in the series is now open in Shibuya. It has highlights from the successful "World of Thighs" exhibition also held in Shibuya in April and May 2016, which was visited by 15,000 people.
Visitors were allowed to take pictures (but not to touch -- that's something of a joke) and here are some of the results.
The entrance alone has to be seen to be believed. Inside, you ...
If you've got it, it doesn't matter how old you are.
As regular readers to this blog will know, we have a thing for Korean actresses.
Porn may be illegal in South Korea but cinema somewhat makes up for this, firstly with a healthy soft-core sexploitation film industry and also with mainstream movie sex scenes that put their modest Japanese counterparts to shame.
One of South Korea's most famous film and television stars, Jeon Do-yeon's latest film is A Man and a Woman. In the drama, Jeon plays a Korean woman who embarks on a steamy affair in Finland with a Korean man she meets there. ...
Adult retail giant DMM.com announced on September 7th that it would no longer sell content in which performers are under 18 years of age.
This will apply to "image video" DVDs and so on featuring idols and tarento.
DMM also said that since July 25th it had stopped selling adult content that had not been screened by industry bodies like the euphemistically named Intellectual Property Promotion Association (IPPA). Moreover, it said that it had never sold any pornography involving performers under the age of 18.
DMM also said that the non-adult DVDs featuring performers under the age of ...
Shoko Takahashi (aka Shoko Takasaki) has been making an impression with her new AV release, her first on the Moodyz label after her spectacular debut for Muteki earlier this year.
The beach-set "G-cup Perfect Body Celebrity Shoko Takahashi" was released on September 1st and makes ample use of the star's signature bust -- and her radiant smile. After all, no bikini is big enough to keep those breasts under wraps for long.
It's a whopping 165 minutes long, so expect plenty of gratuitous swimwear shots and more.
Moodyz are really capitalizing on ...
They say there's always one.
At a recent photo shoot, one steadfast member of AKB48 refused to strip while her peers all obligingly took off their clothes to pose in bikinis.
Eight idols from the music group are on the cover of the current issue of Shukan Shonen Magazine, which is celebrating the top eight idols from the June "election".
The only girl not looking cute in her swimwear is Haruka Shimazaki (Paruru), who placed eighth among the ladies featured.
The other idols include Mayu Watanabe (second), NMB48's Ayaka Yamamoto (fourth), Sakura Miyawaki (AKB48), and of course, ...
We've written before about our love for Japanese "pink cinema", especially the Nikkatsu Roman Porno series of soft-core adult dramas from the 1970s that has been recently enjoyed renewed attention.
The pink cinema industry was largely killed off by the arrival of adult video in the 1980s. And the adult video industry was threatened by the arrival of the internet in the 2000s. But sexploitation survived (very much so), and so it seems only natural that pink cinema is making a comeback.
Now tastes have matured enough to re-appreciate the charms of the soft-core, sometimes peculiar world of ...
