We're taking an interest in Korean series lately -- a purely professional one, natch! We loved the very explicit sex scenes in Somebody on Netflix and even Squid Game found time for a sex scene in between all the blood and violence. Released in December, Big Bet is available on Disney+ in certain territories and Hulu in the United States. It stars film star Choi Min-sik as a Korean casino king in the Philippines. Son Eun-seo plays a former flight attendant who is now a hotel manager in the casino in the Philippines. She has a great sex scene in episode five of the K-drama. There's not ...

Sometimes we see something that makes us feel a bit nostalgic -- and a bit old! Rika Adachi (足立梨花) was one of our favorite gravure idols about a decade ago, mainly for her nice butt. She made it onto our now-legendary list of "Japanese babes with great asses." To be honest, we haven't followed all the ins and outs of her modeling and acting career in the years since, though we remember when she was forced to deny having had plastic surgery (which is secretly quite common in Japan). Well, now Rika Adachi has released a new photo book to mark her thirtieth birthday (what? When did ...

A few weeks ago, we posted about the nude photo book by Manami Shindo. The key story was that Shindo, who speaks five languages, was going nude just as she reached the age of 30 -- that richly rewarding threshold after which woman become ripe jukujo. But in addition to sharing some highlights from the photo book, we also mentioned her reported sex scenes in an upcoming movie, Far Away, Further Away, which is about an affair between an unhappily married woman and an estate agent. Now we have managed to get a look at the movie, which came out in August in Japan, and more importantly, check ...

We are not as obsessed with haafu models and actors as the Japanese fashion world and mainstream media seems to be, but we do love certain biracial celebrities. One of them is British-Japanese Sonoya Mizuno, who has carved out an impressive career first as a dancer and lingerie model, and then as a serious actor in both film and television. She has a nude sex scene in the new HBO TV series House of the Dragon. She shows off her butt in several shots during the scene (which you can find in episode one of the Game of Thrones prequel) as another character has sex with her behind, plus a bit of ...

As we get older, we appreciate the charms and beauty of older women more. But it's far from the case that we ignored jukujo during our own salad days. Far from it, we have long sung the praises of Japanese cougars and MILF on these digital pages, as regular readers will know. A jukujo (roughly, "mature woman") is rather loosely defined, and is often applied liberally to any woman past her "prime" (i.e., her twenties). This is nebulous, of course, and most Japanese women in their thirties would shirk from the label, though various celebrities have embraced it and turned it into their whole ...

It seems like everyone is doing nude shoots these days, from Nana Asakawa to Kyouka, Mariya Nagao, and Aoi Fujino. Nude shoots can be a great way to make a comeback or boost a flagging career, or even, as in the case of Kyouka, go out with a bang. Multilingual gravure idol and actress Manami Shindo, however, has already set a precedent in past photo shoots in 2021 that showed off her naked butt and (under sheer/wet clothing) breasts. Those shoots marked Shindo's full entry into the world of gravure -- and what an entrance it was. Now the 30-year-old has decided to go one step further and ...

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 Japanese actress Yoko Shimada (島田陽子) has died, aged 69, from complications of colorectal cancer. She was best known internationally for her English-speaking role in the miniseries Shogun from 1980, adapted from the James Clavell bestseller. Shimada rose to fame in Japan in the 1970s as an actress and singer, and then capitalized on her role in Shogun and became a star in Japan (though more international roles were few and far between). But it all came crashing down in the late 1980s, when an affair with the musician Yuya Uchida was exposed by the tabloids and all her work dried ...

Riko Suzuhara (鈴原りこ) is a 30-year-old gravure idol who is also apparently a certified and practicing caregiver. She could use those nursing skills to intimate effect in the bedroom, no doubt. Just imagine what she could do with those firm hands of hers! A little later than most gradols, Suzuhara has got a decent boost to her career with the release of her debut photo book, coming out on September 1 from Kodansha. (She didn't make her gravure debut until age 26.) As a promo, Weekly Gendai recently published some preview images showcasing the photo book, which is an ambitious nude ...

Maki Makie (マキエマキ) has been working since the early 1990s as a freelance commercial photographer. Now aged 56, she gained a whole new following when she began taking self-portraits in 2015 and repositioning herself as a "selfie jukujo" (自撮り熟女) model. This fame has had some unexpected consequences, as she revealed in a long interview with Bunshun. Her self-portraits revel in a Showa-era atmosphere. Often shot in sketchy or remote locations (like old, rundown resorts or empty shopping streets), they mix humor with the erotic. She is currently exhibiting her work in ...
