The ero-cosplayer Yuko Haruno (春野ゆこ) will make her porn debut in an adult video that comes out digitally on May 30, followed by a physical release in July. The epic, 217-minute AV production (1STARS00799), filmed in 4K, from SODstar promises to make much of her pale skin and beautiful, massive breasts (supposedly an I cup). The publicity is also emphasizing Haruno's versatility with cosplaying a wide range of characters, which puts her in good stead for different porn scenarios. They say that all newbies looking to break into an industry now need a platform to sell ...

It seems that everyone is using AI these days to make art, photos, and even essays. The results are often very impressive. Perhaps even worrying. But here's some AI that's really worth getting excited about. Kanyon Industries, which seems to be based in Hong Kong, posts examples of AI art featuring sexy cosplayers -- all digitally rendered, of course. Heavily influenced by Japanese sources, it was inevitable that the results would strike big among Japanese netizens (as in, almost 31 million views and counting for this one tweet). People say that AI still struggles with hands but ...

Paparazzi snaps of an idol with her boyfriend? No big deal, this is the usual kind of fodder that always fills the pages of the weeklies, right? But this time, there's an amusing, possibly kinky, catch. Reporters snapped AKB48 member Yuiri Murayama entering the condo of fellow AKB idol Nana Okada for the latter's birthday party late at night on November 6. The 25-year-old was with a man who many assume is her boyfriend. Netizens peered hard -- very hard -- at the box in the bag that Murayama's putative partner is carrying. And they think they've identified it. It just might well be ...

Halloween is well and truly back. And that means plenty of flesh on display in Shibuya. Since Friday, the Tokyo district has been packed each night with cosplayers massing for the impromptu cosplay street party that has defined Tokyo Halloween for several years. In an effort to control the phenomenon, which has resurged this year almost for the first, full time since the Covid pandemic, Shibuya has temporarily banned drinking on the street. The police presence is significant, of course, after the minor unrest in 2018 that led to a truck being overturned in Center Gai. This means hundreds of ...

Gotta catch them all! Well, there are so many Pokémon that that aspiration is surely impossible. But it seems you can catch the important ones. Satoshi not only caught Pikachu, but was spotted giving Pikachu a good kiss. Namely, a guy dressed as Satoshi (Ash Ketchum in the West) was recently seen kissing a lady friend dressed as Pikachu in a backstreet of Shibuya. The young couple, presumably at the end of a successful date, were surreptitiously filmed in an alleyway exploring each other's faces. The four-second video subsequently uploaded to Twitter on October 24 has gone viral. The ...

Managers at Universal Studios Japan are clutching their pearls at the risqué costumes that some patrons are wearing. The coronavirus pandemic was almost the nail in Japan's Halloween street cosplay coffin: the pandemic years saw the numbers of people gathering for street parties in crazy costumes (often bearing no relation to Halloween) drop dramatically. Now the custom is returning and theme parks are also always popular places to visit in costumes, regardless of the season. But it seems that patrons at USJ in Osaka are taking things too far, emphasizing the sexy side of the Japanese ...

Feti Fes is Japan's top fetish festival. We have attended before and previously posted photo reports that readers seemed to like. It's the kind of event where every little room, cubbyhole, or booth is dedicated to a whole other fetish. Participants include chika (underground) and gravure idols, ero-cosplayers, fetish service providers, and goods and merchandise retailers. After postponement due to the pandemic -- obviously, given the nature of the event, it's hardly compatible with social distancing guidelines -- Feti Fes 19 was finally held in April. We were not able to attend but, as we ...

Uber Eats (and similar services) has become a part of daily life in Tokyo, with its bike couriers often seen shuttling around the city making deliveries. You know that something is an established part of Japanese pop culture when it gets its own parody onahole. Plus it has inspired fantasies of hot girls bringing you your lunch and with a little something extra, courtesy of the revealing clothes they wear. This has practically launched the modeling career of Uber Eats delivery rider Yu Maria. Now the trope has another iteration: cosplay. Sexy Uber Eats cosplay is trending and the best ...

Enako is Japan's most famous cosplayer at the moment -- and also most successful. By 2019, she was making $90,000 a month, a tenfold increase from 2016. She is a spokesperson for anima and game corporations, and also earns yen from streaming. She makes very regular appearances on the covers of weekly magazines, though doesn't charge a modeling fee for these, as we previously reported -- a savvy decision that encourages magazines to keep hiring her. Success and fame means money. It also means masses of costumes. In Enako's case, a whole warehouse full of costumes. She has hundreds of them ...

Happy New Year. We welcome in the Year of the Tiger by checking out a small sampling of the great tora-themed sexy cosplay posted on social media by Japanese cosplayers, gravure models, porn stars, and more. We start with an obvious choice: Japan's top cosplayer, Enako, whose contribution looked both busty and cozy. Former AKB48 idol and lingerie model Haruna Kojima, who seems to be visiting Paris at the moment, made do with a croissant pose and some cat cosplay (albeit it in colors/pattern that was more like a cow than a tiger). Shibari model Cana achieved an intimacy and warmth with ...
