You know you've hit the big leagues in the wonderful world of JAV when you've featured in movies alongside (not to mention occasionally inside) the likes of gyaru goddess Mana Izumi and this writer's perpetual go-to girl, Rumika. So it is with the luscious Kokomi Naruse (sometimes going by the name of Cocomi Naruse or even Cocomin) who'll be providing you with some mouthwatering eye candy this week. Since debuting in 2008, the Niigata-born 22-year-old has gone from strength to strength, featuring in photo books, collaborative movies and a swath of electrifyingly sexy solo efforts. ...

It might seem more than a tad cruel to publicly name and shame the least popular members of your group while vaulting others onto a pedestal to flaunt at the head of your column (at least until the next election rolls around). Then again, with 48 members to keep track of, the marketing team over at AKB headquarters are probably grateful for any help at all in that department - hate to put a dud on the next single cover, after all. Thus, we have the results of the 3rd Senbatsu Election to mull over. The divine Atsuko Maeda has, somewhat predictably, nabbed the top spot in this year's ...

Not all of us are thrilled by the prospect of watching flimsy, vrooming death-traps circle a few kilometers of track for lap after endless lap as a means of entertainment, but it'd take a heart of stone indeed to not be moved by the charming set of ladies that motorsports bring to the table -- at their lovely feet at least the claim of inducing boredom could never be laid. In this regard the gorgeous Shoko Hamada is one among many, but one glance at her pics and you'll see she's most definitely in pole position. 'Race Queen', of course, is not the only title to adorn the divine ...

Underage fans of overlarge idol groups rejoice - the long-standing ban on under-18s attending SDN48's theatre performances has been lifted at last, granting you access to the AKB girls' older, edgier counterparts in (almost) all their raunchy glory. SDN, the brainchild of AKB48 producer Yasushi Akimoto, was conceived as an "adult idol" group, differentiated from AKB through sexier attire and their focus as a "Saturday Night"-style act (hence the name) aimed at a more mature audience. Having made their major label debut on Universal Music in November of last year with the single ...

Having to sort the wheat from the chaff is an occupational hazard when endeavouring to bring you guys only the finest ladies Japan has to offer, and in a saturated market it can sometimes be quite the task. There's nothing quite like that feeling though, when you've been stuck wading through garbage only to stumble upon gold. Imagine my joy, then, at having almost given up on this month's issue of GT when, lo and behold, the stunning Natsuki Ikeda plunged out of its pages into my lap. The Kanagawa-born beauty, who will turn 24 this month, has been slowly-but-surely making a name ...

Porn might be illegal in mainland China, but that hasn't stopped amply-bosomed sex-kitten Sora (or Sola) Aoi attaining a level of celebrity there practically unheard of for an adult actress (let alone a Japanese one). With her Chinese name now registering more than 41 million page hits on Google (exceeding the not-inconsiderable likes of Mao Zedong, Yao Ming and Confucius) the sexy, savvy JAV idol's star is most definitely on the rise. Having made her AV debut in 2002 (aged 18, in the Alice Japan release Happy Go Lucky!), the now-27-year-old Sora quickly branched out into other ...

AKB48's ever-lovely Atsuko Maeda is set to make a welcome return to our screens this July, playing the crossdressing lead character in a brand-new adaptation of Nakajo Hisaya's popular manga series Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. Originally adapted as a TV series back in 2007, "Hana Kimi" is the story of Mizuki Ashiya, a Japanese high-schooler living in the USA, who, having fallen in love with troubled young sports' star Izumi Sano after seeing him on TV, moves to Japan and enrolls in his boys-only high school in order to get close to him. Fuji TV has announced that this will be a brand-new ...

Japan's lingering global reputation for being the spiritual home of all things tacky, wacky and weird may be largely undeserved, but the Japanese don't exactly help themselves when they choose the most bizarre things to obsess over and popularise (Pachinko? 1950s-style greaser dance groups? Ganguro girls? Stitch?!). Mediocre 2006 Disney-Pixar effort Cars is one such curiousity (its popularity in Japan strikingly disproportionate to, well, its popularity everywhere else) and, with a sequel set for release this summer, the folks behind the movie (albeit unwittingly) have rewarded the Japanese ...

In an age when the sheer magnitude of porn readily available to us at any given time quite literally boggles the mind to consider, one could easily go one's entire load-blowing life without having to view a particular girl's scenes more than once. You know you're onto a winner then, when going even a couple of days without revisiting an idol's material feels akin to torture. Which brings us to the divine Airi Mikami. What this Hokkaido-born 22-year-old might lack in terms of the volume of movies and photobooks she's appeared in thus far, she more than makes up for in her thrilling ...

I would like to introduce all of you to a wonderful little lady I have just had the pleasure of coming across during one of my romps through the internet, the amazing Arisu (sometimes Alice) Miyuki. This sexy little minx was a model and TV announcer in the north in Hokkaido before she joined the JAV industry. She was publicly against anything to do with the adult entertainment industry for years, but after harvesting all that emotion against it, she found that she came to actually love it. Wanting everyone to know the real her, she headed into a studio of her own will and debuted in ...
