With a few notable and noble exceptions, politicians are mostly on the fiddle or on the pull, their hands in the expenses till or around some girl's body. It's a story as old as the hills and pretty much the same in any country, including Japan.
You might think that any politician from the Democratic Party for the People might be a bit more cautious after the leader, Yuichiro Tamaki, was caught having a long-term affair with a gravure model, but temptation plays to a different tune.
The party was forced to punish Masaki Hiraiwa, indefinitely suspending him after allegations emerged of his ...
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, ...
Yui Imaizumi has announced that she is returning to the entertainment industry.
At the height of her fame and popularity in early 2021, the former Keyakizaka46 cutie announced she was pregnant and married to YouTuber Mahoto Watanabe. She was just 22 and he several years older.
But then the problems started, with revelations the Watanabe had been grooming a 15-year-old and that he was arrested in 2019 for allegedly beating up a previous girlfriend.
In March 2021, Watanabe was arrested on suspicion of violating the child prostitution and pornography law (because he had asked the ...
Last year, one of the biggest (and most amusing) celebrity sex scandals was the discovery of streamer Junichi Kato's affair with porn star Ai Hongo.
They were rumbled by social media posts and netizen detectives, who figured out that Kato was watching a baseball game with his lover in the United States. The attention ultimately led to Hongo apologizing and stepping back from releasing further productions for the foreseeable future.
This was followed in January by the scoop that Yokohama DeNA BayStars pitcher Katsuki Azuma was having an affair with porn star Jun Suehiro.
In some way, it ...
The latest celebrity scandal in Japan is the affair between baseball player Katsuki Azuma and popular porn star Jun Suehiro.
The 29-year-old Yokohama DeNA BayStars pitcher's relationship with the 25-year-old JAV performer came to light in a Weekly Bunshun scoop late last week, after Suehiro was spotted visiting Azuma's hotel.
Azuma has admitted the affair and apologized to his fans. He is married and has a daughter with his wife.
However, it still isn't 100% clear if the woman was Suehiro, who has so far maintained silence on the matter. She looks like the porn star, who is known to be ...
Last year, we reported on the strange case of the Japanese guy with four "wives." The situation seemed straight out of a manga and yet it was true.
In that case, the man and his harem were all relatively young. But age didn't stop another man.
The 76-year-old Hirohito Shibuya lived with nine wives in Higashiyamato, a suburb of Tokyo. Technically speaking, since polygamy is illegal in Japan, eight of the women were his ex-wives and he was only married to one of them.
Three of his children with the women also lived at the residence.
Shibuya was found dead on Sunday of an apparent suicide, ...
The revelation that the head of Japan's third largest opposition party, Yuichiro Tamaki, has been having an affair with a former gravure model, Miyuki Koizumi, sparked a media frenzy at the start of this week.
The tabloids have continued to pump out stories about the affair, much of which is just speculation.
Of course, adulterous politicians is a story as old as the hills but this one has has longer legs because Tamaki is so prominent right now (his party arguably holds the keys to keeping the minority Liberal Democratic Party government in power) -- and this is surely why the tabloids ...
We are used to Japanese politicians, both male and female, having affairs with hostesses, party workers, foreign musicians, and even other lawmakers. But what about gravure idols?
In a case that recalls Kensuke Miyazaki, who had advocated for fathers to take paternity leave but was caught having an affair with a gravure model while his wife (another lawmaker) was giving birth, a tabloid has broken a scoop on Democratic Party for the People leader Yuichiro Tamaki, who is alleged to have been having an affair with a former gradol.
Flash has revealed that the 55-year-old Tamaki has been ...
A few days ago, we reported on the amusing and somewhat outlandish tale of the popular YouTuber whose adultery was caught out by his own social media posts and TV coverage of the Shohei Ohtani baseball game in the United States that he had attended.
Streamer and YouTuber Junichi Kato (also known as Unko-chan) had boasted about going to see the Japanese sports legend play, but he was not there alone as he had claimed.
Thanks to some clever detective work, it turned out that Kato was attending the match with his lover, who was none other than porn star Ai Hongo.
Kato fessed up and openly ...
Who do porn stars like to date? And does intimacy with their romantic partners feel special or, as the British say, like taking a busman's holiday?
These are the kinds of questions that addle us to Tokyo Kinky.
We have seen ample evidence that Japanese porn stars like to date comedians and pop stars.
Shunka Ayami is apparently dating a singer, while Yua Mikami is or was allegedly dating two singers at once (well, it's hardly the first time that she's had more than one sexual partner at the same time).
AV stars to fall for comedians include Suzume Mino, Makoto Yuuki, and Runa ...
