Japanese male YouTuber’s list of 127 sexual conquests
December 12, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
They say that YouTubers and other social media content creators are the new celebrity elites of our day, and that seems to extend to their romantic escapades.
A list has emerged apparently showing the sexual conquests of the macho male YouTuber Purotan, who has 2.1 million subscribers to his channel.
The list features 127 women. It was supposedly saved on Purotan's phone and then leaked by another YouTuber, Yagi, after their own relationship ended badly. Purotan has apparently paid ¥5 million as compensation for his alleged domestic violence and infidelity. Yagi appeared in Purotan's ...
Is adultery allowed in Japan (if with a prostitute)?

/ Tadashi Anahori
The YouTuber Takashii, who provided the interesting video we reposted recently about Japanese women and their attraction toward foreign men (or non-attraction, as the case may be), has produced a couple more videos with interviews about the old saw: adultery.
His latest provocative topic is on adultery in Japan, especially cheating on a partner with sex workers.
He asks some women for their opinions and some men.
They give a range of responses, but the general gist is that the women don't seem to mind if their men cheat on them with fuzoku (sex workers/services). In fact, this doesn't ...
Takako Uehara flees alleged domestic violence after husband discovers latest affair
July 10, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
Takako Uehara is back in the news again over another alleged adultery scandal.
The beautiful former member of pop group SPEED has experienced some real highs and lows since the group disbanded in 2000.
Uehara published a successful semi-nude photo book, Vingt Takako, in 2003, but this divided fans, some of who saw it as a betrayal of her image. We are eternally grateful, though, for the fapping material she provided during this period.
She worked as an actor and model, fronting advertising campaigns for the likes of Shiseido.
But the Okinawan's complicated love life has proved a thorn ...
Adultery, scandal, divorce: Are Japan’s Best Mother Awards cursed?
June 21, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
We recently wrote about the Ryoko Hirosue adultery scandal, which has effectively meant her immediate disappearance from public life (no more TV ads, no more fashion magazine covers, no more acting roles).
When the scandal broke about her affair with a chef, many noted the irony that she had received a "best mother" award in 2022.
The annual awards are given to female celebrities each year to celebrate them as a maternal role model.
The awards are announced each May near Mother's Day, awarded to several celebrities in categories such as acting, business, singing, and sports. The winners ...
The actress Ryoko Hirosue has been accused of adultery with a famous chef.
In a scoop published by Bunshun this week, photos show the 42-year-old going to a luxury hotel where the 45-year-old chef Shusaku Toba, who runs a restaurant called sio that has a Michelin star, was also staying. The two are already known for being close.
There's an aphorism, often muttered by jaded guys on bar stools between swigs of beer, that it doesn't matter what you look like or even about your personality, hot women will inevitably go to bed with you as long as you're funny, tall, rich, or a successful ...
Reporter adultery scandal highlights romantic needs of older women
April 20, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
Another day, another celebrity adultery scandal. Sometimes it feels like this.
But there's something a little different about the latest (minor) scandal to hit the news.
Yukie Joji is herself a reporter. The 48-year-old is currently seen doing live reports twice weekly for a show broadcast on CBC and TBS.
Since its employees apparently have little important journalism to do, scoop-hunters from Flash trailed Joji as she enjoyed a date in Yokohama's Chinatown in mid-April. She and a man lined up to enter a popular restaurant. They allegedly left the restaurant after their meal and held hands ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Once one of the most famous idols in Japan, Mariko Shinoda has divorced her husband of four years. The 37-year-old announced the news on Instagram.
A former AKB48 singer who later branched out into acting, Shinoda married an entrepreneur three years her junior in 2019 and gave birth to a daughter in 2020.
As reported on this blog, rumors emerged last year that her marriage was on the rocks due to her alleged adultery. Her husband apparently took their child away from her for a time.
The divorce follows a mediation process due to the alleged infidelity. In Japan, the aggrieved spouse can ...
Actor Issei Ishida claims: I’ve had 1,000 girlfriends
January 31, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
The actor Issei Ishida has claimed to dated a total of a thousand woman. He made the extraordinary, surely grossly exaggerated statement on a NTV show on January 29. Of that massive number, our middle-aged Japanese Casanova said that 60 were "celebrities."
Pressed further as to which of those are women that anyone on the street would have heard of, he claimed seven.
His Instagram is full of pictures with women.
In December 2021, Ishida announced he had got divorced for the third time (from a woman over 20 years his junior).
In November last year, he claimed that he then had six ...
Ex-AKB48 idol Kana Kobayashi gets speedy divorce, husband arrested
January 19, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
Hot on the heels of the revelations over Mariko Shinoda's marital problems, allegedly caused by her infidelity, comes news of the nuptial dilemmas of another former AKB48 idol.
Kana Kobayashi is now aged 31 and seemed to have it all. Last March, she announced that she had married a famous investor and given birth to a child.
But then on January 16, she announced on social media that she was already divorced.
In fact, her husband had "another wife." If that wasn't bad enough, he was arrested in October on charges of investment fraud, sparking an online backlash against her.
Her husband ...
Ex-AKB48 Mariko Shinoda accused of adultery, contact with former AKS president handling male escorts
December 28, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
This is a story that's been bubbling along in the background for a while and has now come more fully to light.
Mariko Shinoda, the celebrity once one of the big original stars of AKB48, is locked in a legal battle with her estranged husband over the custody rights to their child.
Shinoda graduated AKB48 in 2013 and got married in autumn 2019 to a man she had been dating for just a few months. In April 2020, she gave birth. She became something of a model of motherhood, devoting her Instagram to pictures of her parenting. This all seemed to stop in summer this year amid a tranche of ...
