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 ...
We've just enjoyed the soft-core porn film White Lily (2016), in which Rin Asuka spends a lot of the running time nude and in some sort of sexual embrace.
The film also stars Kaori Yamaguchi and Kanako Nishikawa, who have their own awesome nude sex scenes.
While the guy-on-girl scenes are nice enough, the real action comes with the lengthy lesbian bed scenes between Asuka and the fortysomething Yamaguchi, which includes a stunning 69-position mutual cunnilingus as well as a scissoring session (on top of a table, no less).
This being Japan and the world of pink eiga, things stop short of ...
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 ...
A few weeks ago we got very excited over the new trailer for Sion Sono's pink film, Antiporno. As the trailer indicated, the bizarre-looking film stars a naked Ami Tomite who lives in a brightly colored apartment.
Well, prepare to get even more excited as we have found some grabs of Tomite's nude scenes, or at least some of them. Beggars can't be choosers. It's more than enough to go on for now.
We start with the shot of Tomite naked on a bed (featured tantalizingly in the trailer), sliding on her panties as she lifts up her butt.
She is next seen naked dancing and stretching, showing off ...
Since leaving AKB48, Ami Tomite has been on a mission to change her mission.
She has posed nude for a ravishing shoot and now she appears in this "pink film" (sexploitation).
It's part of another attempt to revive the genre that was massive in the 1960s. This time they have enlisted some of the top names in Japanese cinema to make a new series of Roman Porno sexploitation films with relatively high budgets (originally pink films had micro budgets).
Judging by the trailer for Antiporno, it looks very surreal indeed. Expect at least some nudity from Tomite if not much sex per ...
A new low-budget dramedy called Suki demo nai kuseni (Even though I don't like you) stars a "mysterious" actress called Riko, about whom almost nothing is known.
One thing is certain, though: she is very willing to shed her clothes for her craft. And very well she does at it, too, as the lengthy, explicit sex scenes attest.
See her nipples get fingered, watch her ride in the lap of a lucky guy, and peep in while she get head.
In a rare move, there is even full-frontal nudity that doesn't seem to be ...
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 ...
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 ...
While Japan remains a male-dominated society and "pleasure" tends to favor the guys first and foremost, with us ladies getting short change, there are some small sea shifts taking place.
Tenga created the stylish iroha vibe and has made female sex toys a major part of its output. Porn for women is also growing in Japan.
Likewise, we are seeing more discussion of how women can enjoy sex in the mainstream, as well as adult entertainment.
Sponsored by iroha, a screening and talk was recently held in Tokyo on this theme.
The screening was Roman porno softcore classic Yugao fujin ...
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!), ...
