Most careers in entertainment are all too short and many stutter and fade before they even really get going. That is true perhaps especially of gravure, an industry obsessed with the next idol, the latest body, the newest boobs.
But some women are an exception, like Yoko Kumada, whose gravure career has continued even as she has got older, had a family, and suffered a scandal (domestic violence) -- or perhaps, it's precisely because of this. Kumada is a lady with experience and who knows how to handle herself, a very attractive quality for a woman.
The 42-year-old divorcee and ...
Stand back, guys, because there's a new gal in town.
She's called Mimi Yuzuki (柚月美美). She apparently works as a regular office lady for a company while moonlighting as a cosplayer. And now she's a gravure idol after making her debut in the April 21 issue of Weekly Playboy.
"I was nervous. It was not just the gravure-style poses I had to make, it was also my first time to work with a professional cameraman, makeup artists, and stylist."
The shoot has also resulted in a digital photo book.
Besides her obvious beauty (which has drawn comparisons with ex-gradol Misako ...
Regular readers will remember the porn star Riasu Mizutani, the translator who moonlights in adult video (or vice versa).
She was recently included in a book about intelligent JAV performers but also announced her pregnancy, which is likely to mean the end of her career (about 17 credits and counting).
Bunshun Online recently published a two-part interview with Mizutani, who was born in Boston, was raised partly in the UK (where her father was working), and made her debut in the industry in 2023.
In it, she talks about her comfortable upbringing and what she was like as a child, which ...
Long-time readers may remember the story from 2019 of Kazuko Iwamoto, the nude model and actress arrested for attacking her lover at a train station after he tried to end their relationship. The 43-year-old had, it seems, revealed to him that she was pregnant, but her lover was a married cad who wanted to make a getaway at the resort town of Atami.
It was of the most bizarre stories we have ever run and, to be honest, pure catnip: a beautiful jukujo at the height of her fame seemingly caught in a destructive relationship, turns desperate -- and the result is a sensational (though thankfully, ...
The Box-Shaped Insert Air Pillow is a new release by leading Japanese fetish brand Tama Toys. As the name suggests, this is a literally a cube-shaped hug pillow.
No, this isn't a reference to the modern erotic classic novel and film The Box Man.
Nor is this simply a gimmick (though we've seen masturbators in similarly unusual shapes before).
The box shape is inspired by the idea of the "girl in a box" (hako-iri musume) trope, which is common in Japanese porn and erotic photography. It comes from a phrase in Japanese meaning a daughter or young woman who is confined at home, without ...
The head of a video production company has been arrested for not providing a woman who appeared in a porn shoot with a performer's contract.
According to Tokyo Metropolitan Police, Daichi Iwai is suspected of failing to give the female performer a contract when she worked for him last year. He was arrested on April 14.
The 35-year-old suspect explained to her verbally in May 2024 that "no one will know it's you and we can delete the footage." However, the actual release did not conceal the twentysomething's identity, nor did Iwai respond to requests for him to delete the video.
It is not ...
Former HKT48 idol Miku Tanaka has delighted and teased fans with a sex scene in her new TV drama.
The slinky hottie features in a sex scene that sees her ride her lover in the cowgirl position, bouncing up and down rigorously, arching her back, and sensually moving her hair out of her face. Her pale skin, throat, shoulders look positively good enough to eat.
The show is the recently premiered Shinu Hodo Aishite (I Love You to Death) on streamer Abema. It is an adaption of a manga.
You can watch a clip of it here via NudeAsianFilm.
Sadly, like most TV drama sex scenes with the ...
In a first in Japan, four people have been arrested for making nude pictures of women using generative AI and then selling them online as posters.
It is first such time in Japan that an arrest has been made for selling obscene materials made entirely using AI. (Though we have seen at least one arrest before for a man who used AI to decensor porn.)
According to investigators, 44-year-old Tomohiro Mizutani and two other men and a 27-year-old woman sold such materials on multiple occasions via an online auction site in around October 2024. The materials were posters featuring printed versions ...
The release of photos of a Japanese singer who died at the age of 73 would not normally be news on Tokyo Kinky.
But the photos of famed enka singer Aki Yashiro have attracted a storm of criticism because they are nude.
The two pictures will be included with an upcoming music CD and feature Yashiro in her twenties.
When Yashiro was around 24 or 25, she was living with the man who took the two Polaroids in question. (He apparently has or had a further three similar nude Polaroids.) They were engaged for a while, it seems, but later broke up. He would set up his own music record label in ...
Yuki Arai was an idol with the music group SKE48 from November 2013 until the end of March 2025.
That's a very long run in a very competitive, crowded industry, but she's not done yet.
The 26-year-old Kyoto native will now focus on her a second career as a professional wrestler, which she launched while still a member of SKE48's Team KII, in May 2021, after a brief appearance in 2018 in a match against another SKE48 member.
She currently competes in both Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling and DDT Pro-Wrestling.
Female wrestling in Japan is experiencing a boost right now, with several prominent ...
