Erika Sawajiri is no stranger to almost shedding her clothes, not to mention acting like a spoilt and uptight bitch.
It's never clear how much is true and how much is a cultivated personality, though.
Her recently released film Helter-Skelter contains some glimpses of the real Erika, by which we mean her flesh!
It's pretty tame by many people's standards, especially Korean actresses', but it's still a nice way to start your day.
Saying that, apparently during the making of the film they had a lot of trouble extracting a convincing performance from Erika. During the sex scenes ...
This week we take a slow and lingering look at the svelte form of Yoko Kamon (嘉門洋子).
Born in 1980, Yoko Kamon is a model and actress who started appearing in films such as Suicide Club in the Nineties and working as a gravure idol. Her career has slowed down, reducing her mainly to erotic B-movies of late (see example of a nude sex scene below), though she still retains the power to do sexy photo shoots and has kept her cult following.
She also recently became one of those to have dared to do "hair nude" all-nude photos, which are actually much more artistically shot than ...
We love uncovering and sharing with the world the unsung heroines of Japanese ladies!
We often blog about sexy idols but there are plenty of very, very beautiful regular Japanese actresses as well. They don't do gravure style bikini shoots but they still often do nude shoots or very sexy photos. In Japan this isn't seen as degrading or damaging to your acting career, and typically the shoots will be collaborations with famous photographers.
Naoko Watanabe (渡辺奈緒子), born in 1984, is a very attractive actress who, though not a star, has been in several high profile releases, ...
We've been watching a bunch of cheap soft core movies. Though Japanese porn is great, of course, there is also a lot of cheaply made but imaginative erotica around, such as this, Horny House of Horror (aka Fashion Hell). Sure, there is no penetration on display and the sex is less graphic, but there's still plenty of flair!
Starring three porn regulars, Mint Suzuki, Asami, and Saori Hara, the "plot" revolves around a new fuzoku sex club visited one night by a trio of naive young guys. They get far more than they bargained for as the club is a den of pain and horror (yep, hence the ...
I've said it before but I'll say it again. Japan is too sexy for America. This even means that books are apparently too much too!
Kids in New Jersey will have a tougher job finding the Murakami mega-seller in their local libraries now, since one school have banned it for too much sex. Sure, there's a bit of lesbianism, the odd one night stand... but isn't actually all the suicide more shocking?
Apparently the book should still be around the state but one school removed it from a summer reading list for teenaged students, and this might surely just be the tip of the iceberg. Well, ...
Yuriko Yoshitaka, star of the live action remake of comic Gantz, didn't always make her living being a headliner in big manga blockbuster movies. Her first big break had her naked on her back under guys with lots of tattoos and piercings.
The now 22-year-old actress is known for her sweet personality and her acting chops. Her first big role was in the movie "Snakes and Earrings" where she played a troubled youth whose life gets turned around by a split tongued tattooed rebel. And if you want to see Yuriko squirm and scream as she is getting screwed, watch the film.
Talk ...
A new film Namae no nai Onnatachi (名前のない女たち, literally "The Girls With No Names", though the English title is Love & Loathing & Lulu & Ayano) is about young JAV porn stars in Tokyo, a subject of course close to our heart!
It's based on a nonfiction bestseller, a four-volume compilation of interviews on life and sex with kikaku porn actresses.
A kikaku joyu is a supporting actress hired for the day, whose face and/or name doesn't appear on film, as opposed to tantai, the starring models. The ratio of tantai to kikaku girls is something like 5% to 95%!
The ...
A new film explores the feelings of war guilt for Japanese people. Caterpillar is about a soldier, haunted by his experiences of torture and rape in China during the war, who returns to Japan a hero... but without any legs or arms.
Though he is torn apart internally by his feelings of guilt for his actions in Asia, he is still very keen of screwing his wife! She obliges like a good woman was expected back then (and still now!), despite the obvious practical difficulties of having sex with a severely disabled man.
The director, Koji Wakamatsu, actually got his break in the industry ...
This week we look at the lovely, ever-happy-to-strip Kanako Kojima (小島可奈子). Kanako is not a total spring chicken -- she was born in 1975. But you know we like slightly maturer girls, right?!
Born in Fukuoka in south Japan, Kanako made her debut in 1997 and her career has been barely moving since. Despite the lack of juicy roles in movies and TV Kanako has more than displayed her talents in other areas...namely, "hair nude" full-frontal shoots! What a great bush.
Kanojo Kojima also did a nude sex scene in movie Namida Tsubo ...
This is an interesting topic and one that I get quite angry about. Why is the mainstream Japanese entertainment world so coy about sex scenes and nudity? TV is a joke! Not a nipple in sight. If you want titillation from a "normal" Japanese movie, good luck! And don't even get us started on the mosaic censorship that invades even simulated sex scenes. Talk about ruining the dramatic suspense...
Anyway, here's a round-up of some of the Japanese actresses who are less inhibited.
Rinko Kikuchi is fast-establishing herself as the only actress to strip off. She did it first in Babel ...
