The recent interest in Japanese AV performers' labor and human rights continues to develop. It's one of the big stories of the year so far.
Following the arrest mere days ago of a porn performer agency for forcing its roster of women to appear in porn and other recent developments like a damning report and seminar on the issue of exploitation and trafficking, now comes news that former AV star Mariko Kawana has launched a new orgnization to help.
There are already groups like Lighthouse: Center for Human Trafficking Victims (formerly Polaris Project Japan) and Human Rights Now (HRN) as ...
We know that rich Japanese politicians, businessmen and celebrities have a penchant for hostesses.
But feminism happened, don't you know. It's not just the men having all the fun.
According to the tabloids, there are plenty of prominent female celebrities who are addicted to male hosts, a habit which costs them dearly.
Josei 7 magazine recently published a report claiming that actress Yoko Maki had once spent ¥20 million in a single night at a host club!
The 33-year-old divorcee, known for her stunning breasts, clearly liked the services she was given.
Maki's not alone. Rie Kuwabata ...
Do you like them older?
They don't get much older and sultrier than Seiko Matsuda. The singer and Japan's greatest jukujo (MILF) has been married three times and continues to raise eyebrows even as her flower gets riper and riper.
She has been showing off her glamorous bust for the lingerie maker Triumph in a new TV ad. She may well be in her mid-fifties now but Seiko's still got it where it counts.
Would you like to get "floral" with Seiko? After all, she is the "eternal idol" who never seems to get old (with a little help from the surgeon's knife, we suspect, and ...
The alluring gravure idol and actress Haruna Yabuki (formerly known as Mari Abe) has gone fully nude in a "hair nude" shoot for Golden Week in a weekly tabloid magazine, shot by the famed photographer Kishin Shinoyama.
Though she has done semi-nude shoots before, this is a new step for the 1984-born Yabuki, who has officially now become a jukujo like Manami Hashimoto or Mitsu Dan.
The truth is, Yabuki's career is at a bit of an ebb. She broke up with her idiot celebrity boyfriend after she caught him in bed with a hostess. It's been years since she was releasing photobooks and gracing ...
The actress Mai Kitajima has been in the news recently. She has currently gone through a trial surrounding the paternity of the son she supposedly had with her former husband, former Hikari Genji idol Mikio Osawa.
It seems Mai Kitajima was an active lady and had an affair with someone else, and their son was raised as Osawa's but in fact DNA testing has now categorically proved he is not related. The boy is 18.
Osawa and Kitajima married in 1996 after a long courtship, ostensibly because she was pregnant. It seems that she wasn't seeing only Osawa during this time. She and Osawa ...
After a minor career as an actress and model, Chiharu Komatsu did a fantastic hair nude shoot in 1998. She went nude again in 2007.
Before that she got pregnant, married, and divorced in fairly quick succession. (Her child died soon after being born.) In 2008, she gave birth to a son, though remains unmarried.
Since then she made a comeback as a jukujo adult video star in 2011. In a weird twist, she initially denied her adult career shift on her blog at the end of 2010. Perhaps there was a last-minute contractual issue with MUTEKI.
Regardless, "Kokuhaku" (Confession) came out in 2011 ...
People in their forties and older can get romantic too, you know. And we know that older Japanese women still look amazing.
To celebrate the 50th volume of Tasogare Ryuuseigun (Like Shooting Stars in Twilight) by Kenji Hirokane, a popular manga (adapted for TV), Shogakukan has created a free giveaway promo item: free playing cards.
Kind of like Last Tango in Halifax in manga form, the protagonists of Tasogare Ryuuseigun are all middle-aged or elderly, and spend their final years determined to find their true love.
The Tasogare Ryuuseigun playing cards include 52 jukujo MILFs ...
We've always had a thing for Risa Hirako. She's 44 now and looks as hot as hell.
She's a model and tarento, and has dabbled in a singing career.
Luckily her gigs show no signs of drying up just yet. Here she is in a new lingerie advert.
Sadly she doesn't really strip off but we do get to see her as a flight attendant, which will fuel our fantasies for a while.
Here's some behind-the-scenes footage.
We have long had a soft (or should that be hard) spot for Risa Hirako. She was just as a hot a few years ago when she posed ...
To celebrate Mother's Day, we wanted to write about sexy Japanese mothers.
As we know, pregnancy porn is a major subgenre in Japan, coming in all shapes and sizes -- literally. A lot of these films tend to feature amateur performers. But even when a top porn star gets herself "knocked up", it doesn't stop them making their entry in the genre. Tsubomi continued doing porn when she was heavily pregnant.
Mothers-to-be or mothers past their prime, elongated breasts and nipples and all, are treated as viable sex figures ripe for enjoying.
Here are some highlights from Japan's many, many ...
Older can mean wiser. Older can also mean better.
Okay, older doesn't usually mean hotter. But older ladies know more about what they want and are willing to do more to get it.
Dan Mitsu, Manami Hashimoto et al have pushed the jukujo craze to new heights, and for this we are grateful to them.
But with no disrespect to their achievements, the groundwork has actually been laid by even older ladies -- and who went even further for the cause.
Porn stars like Yumi Kazama have been pioneers of the mature lady genre.
And another now legendary MILF JAV porn star is Ayako Satonaka. ...
