The Japanese AV industry is under a lot of pressure right now. Just today we heard that top porn star Nozomi Aso has been arrested on drug charges. Then there have been all the reports and criticisms about alleged coercion and exploitation in the industry, which even led to the arrest of porn industry staff and an official industry apology last month. Now the arrests have led to new charges. This time, the president of production company CA, Yoshihide Murayama, is one of 52 people -- 9 actresses 24 male performers, plus crew -- accused of indecent exposure during a shoot a camping ...

Japanese porn star Nozomi Aso has been arrested on drug charges, according to the July 21st Shukan Jitsuwa weekly tabloid that went on sale today. The 27-year-old AV star is a graduate of Senshu University and made her debut in 2012. She left Soft on Demand in 2014 and then joined MAXING. Since then she has switched again to chacha promotion.

As well as enjoying commercial success in Japan, the slender actress with a G-cup is also popular in China. She ...

Sometimes it can be hard to hold back. You see a hot girl in close proximity and you may have to force yourself not to try to grope her. Being under the influence of alcohol doesn't help either. What if this was a sultry gravure model?! But it it's okay if it's a professional, right? This "bust booster" expert has helped 30,000 women increase their bust size by massage techniques. She demonstrated this on Japanese television with gravure model Anna Konno, whose breasts are already more than impressive. In other words, Anna Konno had her F-cup breasts groped on TV for the benefit of ...

Yuki Aoyama and his Schoolgirl Complex series has fast become the pseudo-artistic erotic photography phenomenon of the 2010s. If you have a thing for waif-like, slender angels, then Aoyama's work is for you. Well, School Complex 4 has come out and this time the theme is schoolgirls "flipping" each other's skirts -- a theme also explored in calendars, of course. As Kenny Everett said: All in the best possible taste! To celebrate, there is an exhibition at Yukai Hands Gallery, in the Waseda area, from July 22nd to July 31st. We love how a section of the ...

This is something to make your eyes pop out. It might disgust or amaze you, depending on your level of tolerance. The Chastity Daruma Ridge by Libido Lab is a collaboration with the mangaka Shiruka Bakaudon (知るかバカうどん), known for his dark and violent comics. It features the torso of a slender Japanese girl with almost prepubescent breasts and... chopped-off limbs. Now whether your winced at that or smirked perhaps reveals a fair bit about your sexual proclivities. It is apparently inspired by Wu Zetian's or Lu Zhi's method of torturing and killing rivals. The ...

He may well be an old man now but Kishin Shinoyama still likes to photograph nude bodies, and generate headlines for doing so. The king of the hair nude recently shot a hair nude photo book with Haruna Yabuki (photos are starting to appear online -- we'll have a post on this soon). His publications have been bestsellers and he also has mainstream recognition from the art world, too. His new photography exhibition, "La Maison de rendez-vous", is at Hara Museum of Contemporary Art from September 3 to January 9. That's over 100 days of nude photography, folks. It features around 60 examples ...

We are always on the look-out for the next big thing in Japanese adult toys, and this definitely seems to be one of them. We first wrote about it in late December, highlighting two products: Chichi Kabe Titty Wall and Vacuum Monster. But there are many more. In a nutshell, these products are like tentacle sex fetish toys, featuring multiple nipples and breasts on the exterior of the masturbator. The fantasy is that you can rub your hands and member all over the multiple breasts. While they aren't big enough for actual paizuri, there's a wealth of things you can do with so ...

The Japanese cosplay world was in shock on June 29th when one of the most up-and-coming cosplayers, Nekomu Otogi, announced her surprise marriage at the age of just 20. Not only that, her new husband is a mangaka. And 31 years her senior! Yes, Kosuke Fujishima is one lucky, lucky guy. Oh, and she's pregnant. Yes, this is the classic dekichatta kekkon, or shotgun wedding. Don't worry, Nekomu, you are in fine company -- everyone from Meisa Kuroki to Eriko Satoh. But seriously, is this even legal? Apparently Fujishima, best known as the creator of Oh My Goddess!, ...

Kyodo no Mori, an open-air folk museum in Fuchu, west Tokyo, is in a panic after a beautiful young Japanese girl took some nude selfies in and around a classroom in one of the historical buildings in the museum, and then posted her exploits to Instagram and Tumblr in early June. Needless to say, she (and her helpers) did not have the museum's permission. The museum has been flooded with inquiries. "Do you give permission for this kind of photography?!" The account was unnamed in media reports but apparently was "taaaaachin". It has since been deleted. It ...
