But with a few notable exceptions, the market is dominated by female smells aimed at men.

For those times, the Japanese adult industry has once again stepped up to the challenge with this Men's Armpit Smell Tank Top.

They say that television is fake and this story may not convince you otherwise. Netizens have exposed the beautiful woman who is supposedly an instructor at the Uzumasa Driving School in Kyoto as a gravure model. Featured on a Japanese TV show as Aimi Yoshikawa (吉川愛未, not to be confused with Aimi Yoshikawa 吉川あいみ, the retired porn star), ostensibly because the driving school is covered by the government incentives aimed at encouraging domestic trips, this Aimi was, in fact, none other than Aimi (あいみ), a mononymous gradol much-admired for her svelte ...

Since apparently no one in Japan is getting married, having kids, or even having sex -- if you believe the media headlines -- perhaps we should take note of this cautionary tale of a woman who wanted to produce offspring without the customary hassle of finding a willing or capable partner. Starting a family is easy with a sperm donor, right? But what if you don't want to go through an expensive service or institution? Social media can help you out, right? Well, that's what one woman in her thirties thought, reports the Asahi. She searched Twitter for potential sperm donors and found a man ...

Panchira fans will be disappointed with the new TV adaptation of Wandering Witch -- The Journey of Elaina. Based on the popular light novel series and its manga version, the anime is one of the highlights of the fall TV season in Japan. But its original creator wants to keep it clean and accessible to a range of age groups. And this means no panty shots. In an interview with anime magazine Newtype, Jougi Shiraishi talked about the conditions he set for the anime production. "The only request I made was 'Please do not, under any circumstances, show [the characters'] underwear.' I'd like ...

A self-professed 18-year-old Japanese female high school student (known as JK in Japanese) has posted a series of nude selfies in which she reveals her slim, youthful body to the world. Her slender frame and hinnyu-style modest bust are a delight, as are her angular facial features and glasses that suggest a cheeky yet intelligent personality. Though she uses some stickers and emoji to hide her face in certain images, in others she is apparently more than happy to show us everything. And we mean pretty much everything: she is fully shaved (paipan) between her legs. Yes, she even spreads ...

Almost anyone who has watched a fair amount of Japanese porn will have stumbled upon a particular swimming pool, known simply as "that pool" (rei no pool). It is a certain location that for various reasons -- not least aesthetic ones -- became a go-to choice for porn producers from the 2000s. The pool was so famous that it got its own tribute book, edited by a "research group" dedicated to the site and published in 2013. If you like your porn wet and with a swimwear fetish, then you will love the productions that use the pool location. It is, however, not a regular pool but one that is ...

The Japanese gravure idol (glamor model) industry is a competitive and overly populated place, with idols coming and going in quick succession. In order to maintain their status, idols are required to keep up strong social media presences. This, of course, means Twitter and Instagram, but increasingly also YouTube. Gradols have to be YouTubers these days, too. The coronavirus has made this more urgent than before as splashy shoots and meet-and-greet events are either not having or only in far reduced numbers, decreasing the potential for idols to earn fees. Perhaps feeling the pinch, ...

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 ...
