We are avoiding beaches and public pools right now, given the ongoing coronavirus infection rate, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t thinking about swimsuits. Far from it, they are one of the highlights of any summer in Japan. And to show just how far things have come, we wanted to share with you an image…

Is this the future of kissing between couples in the age of the coronavirus? A playful picture recently shared on Twitter by the idol and mangaka Rin Kaname (of Dempagumi.inc) hints at what kissing might become if things don’t improve some day soonish.

Like many, we have avoided the beach this year because of the recommendations not to leave Tokyo and not unintentionally spread the coronavirus.

Probably the most famous and successful cosplayer in Japan right now, Enako is no stranger to provocative photo shoots. Heck, did you see her as a semi-nude mermaid?

Just yesterday we blogged about the shocking suicide of reality television star Maria Hamasaki. Now we sadly have another death to write about: the actress and model Rui Shinato (階戸瑠李). Regular readers will know her from her semi-nude gravure photo shoots that showed off her beauty and hot body. Most impressively, though, were her recent…
