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. The ...

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 ...

The fantastically titled I Want You, Nana-chan, Give Me a Bite was released in Japan in 2021 and stars porn star Yura Kano and musician (and ex-AV star) Toko Namiko. After its quiet release in just a few theaters, we are finally catching up with it now. Directed by Hideo Jojo (who also made the very explicit Believers starring Yui Kitamura), we're not sure the 70-minute film is technically classified as a pink movie but it bears many of the hallmarks of sexploitation. The low-budget film is about the eponymous Nana (played by Yura Kano), who has to move back home after being fired for ...

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 ...

There's that cliche about aging like a fine wine but for some women, it really is true. A model like Nana Eikura, for instance, we can remember from her early career when she was a teenaged model. Cute, for sure, but she is way hotter now that she is a married young mother in her thirties. Taking things (quite) a bit further (chronologically speaking), we have just found out that Narimi Arimori (有森也実) is to release her first photo book in 19 years. At the ripe age of 53, the actor poses in lingerie for her fourth photo book, "prayer," which comes out in Japan on October 22. We ...

We spotted a nice article about Riri Koda over on Nippon.com. Koda is a former adult video performer from the 1990s, who then switched to pinku eiga (pink film, or softcore porn) in 2005. Since 2015, she has performed as an exotic dancer at the few remaining strip clubs in Japan -- there are now just 20 in the country, down from some 300 in the mid-1970s heyday. But interest in the clubs is growing again, including from increasing numbers of female patrons on the circuit. "Each club has its own allure," Koda says. "Some are small, but may have better lighting. I try to take advantage of ...

The beautiful Japanese actress Rin Asuka (飛鳥凛) graduated from Kamen Rider W to wild lesbian and threesome sex scenes in White Lily in 2017. Now she's gone even further -- with a foursome scene in the film The Woman Who Keeps a Murderer (Satsujinki o kau onna, 殺人鬼を飼う女), which was released in Japan in April 2019 and directed by famed horror maestro Hideo Tanaka, who also made White Lily. In the movie's explicit sex scenes, Asuka's nipples are shown in closeup sucked by a fellow woman who also fingers Rin. A sex scene on a bed with a man descends into a three-way session ...
