Airi Sato (佐藤あいり) is an up-and-coming gravure idol and actress whose recent shoots have seen her earn a following for a rare fusion: sensual, sexy allure; a genuine and clean beauty; and girl-next-door charm. It's an unusual ability to combine sultry come-hither looks with marriage-material middle-class respectability. But Airi Sato, who emerged first in 2018 when she won a prize at a beauty contest run by a magazine, seems to achieve it. Specifically, the 23-year-old is praised by fans as an example of hattoshin (八頭身 or 八等身) -- literally, "eight-heads body" -- an ...

The Japanese government has stepped in with cash handouts for both citizens and businesses during the coronavirus pandemic in an attempt to offset the worst effects of the economic fallout. Offering a maximum of ¥2 million in a one-off lump sum to help pay rent, the money has been a lifeline for small companies like shops and restaurants. But what about the sex industry? So far, operators of such services have been excluded from the relief program. One woman has taken matters into her own hands, filing a lawsuit against the Japanese national government as well as two firms overseeing the ...

Former AKB48 idol Mariya Suzuki (鈴木まりや) has stripped off for a semi-nude photo book. The 29-year-old joined AKB48 in 2009 and transferred to Shanghai-based sister group SNH48 in 2012. She graduated in June 2017. She has since worked as an actress and maintained a following tens of thousands-strong on social media. "Merenda" (presumably derived from the Italian word meaning "nuncheon") is her debut photo book and is released on Monday. To promote it, Suzuki is appearing in gravure shoots in Flash, Entame, and Asagei Secret magazines. The project represents her first attempt at a ...

Model Sumire is a prominent example of the "sporty celebrity" in Japan -- similar to models like Anne Nakamura, Kazusa Okuyama, or Yuri Shibuya. On a recently broadcast Japanese television show, the 30-year-old Sumire (who is the daughter of entertainer Junichi Ishida) showed off her athletic body and workout prowess for the cameras. Unfortunately for her (but not for us), she also revealed her camel toe. The outline of her you-know-what (apparently fully shaved) was clearly visible underneath her tight leggings. Sumire (aka Sumire Matsubara) is fluent in English and has acted in ...

Tenga continues to show that there is mileage yet in the onacup concept. The cup-style masturbator toy has, of course, already yielded so much for the top Japanese adult brand, not least the Tenga Cup series that has become a global smash. And now it has returned to revamp this cup idea with an entirely new take: behold the Tenga Aero. On top of the futuristic design, the best innovation here is the adjustable tightness and vacuum, which recalls the Flip Hole (the first toy that Tenga produced with detailed yet easy way to customize the sensations), though with a totally different kind of ...

The Weekly Playboy bar in Kabukicho was a big success back in 2017. We were reminded of it -- and how few chances there are to encounter the adult industry in a bricks-and-mortar setting other than just a shop in the likes of Akihabara -- when we read the exciting news that top Japanese porn production and distribution company Soft on Demand is opening what is essentially a sex theme park in Tokyo. Ostensibly, the building will host restaurants and bars staffed by genuine porn performers, following the precedent established by Weekly Playboy's bar, where real gravure idols served ...

In a recent photo shoot, Yuki Kashiwagi (Yukirin) has seemingly revealed to her many admirers that she goes paipan downstairs. The 29-year-old veteran member of AKB48 would seem to be hairless between her legs, either through shaving or waxing. The photo in question is from the cover of a recent issue of weekly magazine Young Jump, released in Japan on September 10. What a wonder the zoom function is! What treasures it reveals! In a ten-page cover shoot for the weekly Flash out this week, Kashiwagi looks back on her career in the supergroup. This month, Yukirin also appears in a ...

There are nip slips and then there are nip slips. The gravure idol Hikari Hashimoto (橋本ひかり) recently suffered an incident that falls squarely into the latter category. For reasons known only to the people who devise Japanese television content, the idol was recently doing an interview (filmed live and remotely from her home) for the web channel AbemaTV in which she was supposed to whip off her top to reveal her bikini beneath. Unfortunately (or not), her breasts had come loose from the flimsy bikini top (or bikini-style bra) and her right nipple was firmly and delightfully visible ...
