A scandal can derail any career but the world of idols (music or gravure) is particularly sensitive to such scandals, especially those involving sex or drugs. Heaven help you if it is revealed you have a boyfriend. You may have to shave your head or quit the industry.
Related to this, we stumbled upon an interesting example of what happens when an idol is "freed" from the shackles of an agency.
The minor idol Sayuri Madoka announced that she had left her management agency on April 7th, ostensibly because her "real job" had become too busy. Regardless of the truth behind this, what is ...
The latest example of the transition from music idol to adult video idol is Eri Haruno, formerly of the girl group SAY-LA.
She makes her porn debut this month with "The Last Idol Debut" (84MKMP00270), released April 12th by the label million. As is typical, Haruno changed her professional name as part of her career switch and now goes by the moniker Uta Yumemita (夢見照うた).
We like her hinnyu flat chest with its pointy nipples.
As Eri Haruno, she was a member of SAY-LA for most of 2015. Now as Yuta Yumemita, perhaps she has a brighter future ahead of ...
NMB48's Miru Shiroma is hoping to establish herself as a stand-out star in her own right among the very crowded AKB league of idols with her debut photo book.
Lavishly shot on the Gold Coast of Australia, the 21-year-old's unnamed first photo book will be released in Japan on June 19th.
Clearly hoping to up the sales and her fan numbers by revealing some bust, the preview shots that have now appeared position Miru as a seductress Down Under. Goodbye cute, hello sexy.
What do you think of this new direction for Miru?
Until more images for the as-yet untitled book become available, here ...
Last year, Hirokazu Kore-eda's film Shoplifters attracted a lot of critical buzz for its socially engaged nuances and rightfully won it several big awards and nominations.
Call us boring. We couldn't help but take a different interest in the film: for its brief but welcome nude scene with the lovely Sakura Ando.
Ando is shown lounging naked on her stomach on the floor, displaying her slinky body and beautiful tanned skin. We don't get to see much flesh, just her buttocks and a flash of her breast as she quickly turns over to cover herself up.
Want to see more? Then you will be pleased to ...
Wet Woman in the Wind (Kaze ni nureta onna, 風に濡れた女) was released in Japan in 2016 to relatively little fanfare and the "queasy sex romp" even escaped our busy radar screens. (It seems it was one of the Roman Porno reboots we wrote about at the time, but we only seemed to take notice of Anti-Porno.)
We are catching up with it now and finding there are some merits to the sex drama, about a washed-up Japanese playwright (played by Tasuku Nagaoka) in search of himself in the countryside.
It stars the lovely and nudity-friendly Yuki Mamiya alongside Michiko Suzuki, who is not an ...
Voice actress and singer Sumire Uesaka is famous for being cute, of course, and also having an obsession with the Soviet Union. Now she possibly has another feather in her bow.
The 27-year-old idol amply exploits her bust, lips, and other physical assets in the video for "Bon kyu bon wa kare no mono" (very roughly, "My Busty Bust Is His"). The single, which is Uesaka's tenth and is out on April 17th, is also the intro theme for the TV anime Nande Koko ni Sensei Ga!? (Why are you here, sensei?!), for which Sumire voices the character Kana Kojima.
The video shows Uesaka lounging around ...
Today in Japan is White Day, when men are supposed to buy chocolates for women, who do the same on Valentine's Day.
So it's another romantic day in the annual calendar, along with Christmas Eve.
As such, porn giant Soft on Demand has set up a novel light display in the heart of Tokyo's Shibuya neighborhood to promote, well, sex and renewable energy. And it's not even real sex, but the virtual kind.
The display, formally called the White Day Illumination Shining with Virgin-Produced Electricity (童貞力発電で輝くホワイトデーイルミネーション), is a way for ...
The latest Japanese adult video debut to attract our seasoned eyes is last year's from Waka Misono, who, if the publicity is to be trusted, is an 18-year-old with angelic white skin and a fully natural F-cup bust. The young lady is also very petite -- apparently measuring a mere 155 cm (5.1 feet) in height. That makes for quite a combination with her chest.
Her debut, "Please Teach Me Sex," came out in February 2018 from a Soft on Demand label, directed by Kurumi Ichinose. The 140-minute title (1SDAB00054) was followed by "I Came for the First Time" (1SDAB00056), which came out in March ...
After leaving AKB48, Morning Musume, or another related idol group, most performers sadly disappear into obscurity. A rare few establish a mainstream careers in acting or entertainment. A growing number enter adult video. Another subset try to ramp up the sexiness and pose for semi-nude gravure shoots.
Examples of the latter include the alluring Mariya Nagao, delightfully curvy Natsumi Hirajima, Ayaka Umeda, Aika Ota, and Machiko Tezuka.
Now another fine young lady joins their esteemed ranks: Seira Miyazawa, the 25-year-old former member of Nogizaka46, has posed for a Weekly Playboy ...
Aya Kawasaki is one of the slinkiest and most popular gravure idols of the moment. For all her slim charms that she likes to flaunt in lingerie or swimwear, however, Aya still keeps her clothes (just about) on.
And so fans and netizens have to go that extra mile to uncover the 28-year-old's nudity. They have possibly excelled themselves this time.
Aya Kawasaki recently posted a tweet with her 275,000 Twitter followers sharing selfies of her body shot from a low angle that really does justice to her midriff. Like how people were keen to believe in the apparent nip slip of Yuno Ohara last ...
