Released in late 2023 in Japan, A Spoiling Rain stars the up-and-coming Honami Sato, top male actors Go Ayano and Tasuku Emoto (husband of Sakura Ando), and porn star Minamo.
Honami Sato previously did very revealing lesbian sex scenes in Ride or Die with co-star Kiko Mizuhara, who seemed on a mission to prove she could act by revealing as much of her body as possible.
This might have inspired her casting in A Spoiling Rain, since the film features an explicit lesbian sex scene with Minamo.
The movie is about a pink film (sexploitation) director, a screenwriter, and their lover.

We spend a lot of time on this blog looking at the latest developments in gravure models, music idols, Japanese porn, and general sex- and adult-related news.
But it's occasionally good to take a step back in time and explore the older content that's out there.
We have been looking at an obscure 1989 film with the improbable yet enticing title of E-Cup Honban II: Hojuku. It stars the well-endowed Satsuki Fuji (藤沙月).
The 59-minute softcore porn (pink) film has multiple nude sex scenes.
The best ones include a bed scene in which her lover kisses her amazing breasts while fingering ...
The beautiful Akari Fukunaga (福永朱梨) is a relatively unknown, 28-year-old Japanese actress whose credits include The Real Thing (2019) and She Is Alone (2021).
In 2022, she had a starring role in the film Hand, a pink movie in Nikkatsu's revived Roman Porno series (made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the series), though based on a literary source (a novel by a prize-winning female writer, Nao-Cola Yamazaki).
Fukunaga plays 25-year-old Sawako, who has a thing for watching and photographing older men, but starts an affair with a young coworker nonetheless. She must slowly learn ...
We came across an interesting interview with pink movie actress Chisa Hasegawa (長谷川千紗) in the excellent Substack newsletter Tokyo Calling. Here are some highlights.
As regular readers will know well, pink movies (pinku eiga) are softcore porn or sexploitation films that were immensely popular in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s, but were decimated by the rise of hardcore adult video in the 1980s and 1990s (as chronicled in The Naked Director). Nonetheless, the industry is still going, surviving thanks to the dedication of certain performers and producers, and eking out a tiny margin ...
The relatively little-known actress Kurumi Nakayama (中山来未) has several nude scenes in the aptly titled Naked Angel: The Red Room, a film released in Japan in 2021 and based on a short story by Edogawa Ranpo.
There are several sex scenes, including one in a public restroom, and other scenes that apparently required Nakayama to be nude, though the final one has a bloody end involving a pair of scissors. The slim and slinky, modestly chested Nakayama shows off a lot of her body in these scenes, including a shot of her anus as she leans over her lover in the cowgirl ...
It's official. Kumi Takiuchi has replaced Mugi Kadowaki as the most interesting female actor in Japan right now who is willing to do nude scenes.
Though some will do nude sex scenes at the start of their careers (case in point, Yuriko Yoshitaka) or if trying to reboot their careers (case in point, Yuka Masuda), most actresses in Japan (or at least, their agencies) stick to tamer roles.
Not so Kumi Takiuchi, who has already done impressive sex scenes in Side Job and It Feels So Good.
Her latest role is in the movie Ura Aka: L'Adventure, a small independent film that did not gain much ...
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 ...
Today, we revisit a golden oldie.
The Perfect Education is a series of pink eiga (soft-core porn films) that started in 1999 and has so far has produced eight films.
Directed by Ben Wada, the original 1999 film (called Kanzen naru shiiku in Japanese) stars Naoto Takenaka in the lead (and who allegedly directed the sex scenes himself).
Hijiri Kojima here shows off her 22-year-old charms even though she is playing a schoolgirl, who gets captured as a sex slave by an older man.
At the time of making film, Kojima had also just published a hair nude ...
We've written before about our love for Japanese "pink cinema", especially the Nikkatsu Roman Porno series of soft-core adult dramas from the 1970s that has been recently enjoyed renewed attention.
The pink cinema industry was largely killed off by the arrival of adult video in the 1980s. And the adult video industry was threatened by the arrival of the internet in the 2000s. But sexploitation survived (very much so), and so it seems only natural that pink cinema is making a comeback.
Now tastes have matured enough to re-appreciate the charms of the soft-core, sometimes peculiar world of ...
We've just discovered the Sangre Yakuza blog. It's not in English and we can't understand much Spanish, but we love his (?) tastes!
The blog profiles so-called pinku eiga (pink film), a genre of softcore porn films (sexploitation). They were made by some of the greatest and most experimental names in Japanese cinema before they turned more mainstream later in their careers.
The blog also features "Roman Porno", the subgenre of softcore pink films made by Nikkatsu in the 1970s.
Back in the day, pornography was more innocent. That's not to say it wasn't erotic (it certainly was!), ...
