Private detectives are something of a cottage industry in Japan: they derive much of their clientele from men or women (but especially women) who suspect their spouses of adultery. Catching them in the act or at least gathering concrete evidence of adultery will lead to a better payout in a divorce. Many such services specialize in discreet teams of female agents with hidden cameras.
One recent story seems to start off in the usual manner.
A wife suspected her husband (not pictured) of adultery and hired an agency to snoop around. The warning signs were there.
Her husband would disappear ...
OK, our headline is a bit deceptive, but the gist is essentially true.
It's been years in the offing and it might finally be happening: the law forbidding women from remarrying after a divorce is going to change.
Currently, a woman in Japan is legally unable to remarry straight after a divorce. She has to wait 100 days. Her ex-husband, though, is free to marry someone new without waiting.
The law was ostensibly introduced in the 19th century to the civil code to avoid disputes over a child's father. The "cooling-off" period, which was six months until 2016, was put in place in case the ...
Papakatsu, the buzzword that refers to compensated dating for sugar daddies, is in the news again.
Takeru Yoshikawa, a politician with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, has been accused of drinking with an 18-year-old girl.
House of Representatives member Yoshikawa, who is 40 but frankly looks a but older (perhaps it's the jowls), has a wife and two daughters. He was photographed arriving with the girl at a high-end hotel in the Odaiba bay district of Tokyo in late May.
According to the scoop in News Post Seven (that includes 46 pictures!), he and the girl arrived, checked in, and then ...
Our post yesterday featuring the confessions of a foreign female about compensated dating in Tokyo led us to this case study (from early 2021) on legal website Bengo4, which sets out to answer a curious question: What happens to your assets if you divorce your wife for compensated dating?
According to the author (a lawyer), an aggrieved husband consulted him about divorcing his wife, who had been caught doing compensated dating.
Apparently, starting from around the time they got married, his wife was meeting another man around two times a month and having sex with him. For these dates, she ...
She teased. The mainstream media lapped it up. She delivered. Now the publisher is looking to see the impact on the sales figures.
The former top fashion model Yukina Kinoshita has attempted her comeback with a page straight out of Angelica Michibata's book: when in doubt, take off your clothes.
As we continue to revel in a wave of nostalgia with recent gravure comebacks by the likes of Shizuka Nakamura and Ai Shinozaki -- likewise, nude or semi-nude -- we were intrigued by this slightly different case, in which the model Kinoshita, after being dropped by her agency over the celebrity's ...
We love a good comeback story.
After some time quietly doing her own thing on YouTube and Instagram, Yukina Kinoshita (木下優樹菜) has returned to the mainstream entertainment world.
As a kind of de facto apology for her recent scandals, the 34-year-old mother of two is releasing a nude photo book.
"CORRECT" is published by Futabasha and released on March 17. It's being publicized heavily as "nude," though the preview images we have seen so far are only semi-nude (in the classic "hand bra" pose, or tebura). We will update with more pictures when they become available. Hopefully this ...
Because we are completionists at heart, we couldn't resist one more (one final?) post about the sex scenes in the Netflix drama Fishbowl Wives.
As previously reported, the adultery-themed drama has fantastic nude sex scenes with relative newcomer Yuri Kawasaki, and some so-so sex scenes with old favorites Kyoko Hasegawa and Shizuka Nakamura.
Alongside Hasegawa, the other main star of the series is 48-year-old, freshly divorced Ryoko Shinohara.
Given her tame career so far and her status/image, we were not expecting her to do nudity. But then Kyoko Hasegawa kind of did, so who knows?
Well, ...
One of the strange things about the legal system in Japan is that though the rules on alimony and divorce settlements are far less strict than elsewhere -- especially if no children are involved (but joint custody also doesn't exist) -- there are some surprising things related to adultery. In short, if a spouse has an affair, the other spouse can sue their lover.
There are various conditions connected to this -- largely regarding if the spouse's adulterous lover knew of their marital status -- but it's common for the aggrieved party to seek financial damages. Since alimony per se doesn't ...
We are gradually working our way through the new Japanese Netflix drama Fishbowl Wives.
Kyoko Hasegawa's sex scenes are nice but frustratingly not-quite-nude (that should be a new category for Japanese TV).
There are also similar sex scenes with Saori Seto and Wakana Matsumoto that are hot yet not actually nude.
Still, feast and famine: the incredible breasts-groping and nipples-sucking sex scenes by Juri Kawasaki have more than made up for any other disappointment.
When the trailer for the adultery-themed drama was first released, we were excited about the hint that former gravure idol ...
We already blogged about Juri Kawasaki's amazing nude sex scenes in the new Netflix Japanese drama Fishbowl Wives.
Kawasaki is a much lesser-known actor (at the moment), which makes her and her agency more willing to do such scenes. We originally speculated that the big names in the series like Kyoko Hasegawa and Ryoko Shinohara would not do nude scenes in the adultery-themed drama. We were half right, it seems.
Fishbowl Wives does feature a nude sex scene with Kyoko Hasegawa, herself recently divorced.
It's not anywhere near as explicit as Juri Kawasaki's breasts-baring/sucking scenes, ...
