Put your hand up of you’ve ever watched some Japanese porn — okay, we’re raising every part of our bodies! Well, then you will have probably at least one time seen this star. But unlike Maria Ozawa et al, she doesn’t have a name nor even the fame she deserves. But her role in driving…

Anan magazine, the ladies’ fashion monthly with a liking for nude or sexy shots of famous girls, has gone after another AKB48 member for its latest publicity-seeking cover feature. After rather lovely revealing shoots with Haruna Kojima and Yuko Oshima, it has now chosen Yuki Kashiwagi, the 21-year old AKB48 singer and model who has…

A long-established strip club in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho has been raided by police for letting Japanese porn stars perform and expose their vaginas. Police have arrested ten for public indecency, including the manager of the Kabukicho T S Music club and several strippers aged 24-39 years old. The club had been allowing patrons to see the…

Oh, god. Just when you think AKB48 couldn’t get any lower. Then this happens. Following rumors that she had — shock! — been on dates and slept at someone’s place, minor AKB48 idol Minami Minegishi (20) has been demoted from active member to a kenkyusei (research student) position — one short of being sacked. But…

The scandal resulting from Minami Minegishi’s outrageous decision to have a relationship with dancer Alan Shirahama has brought immense publicity to AKB48 and turned what was a tabloid scoop into an ad giving the name power of the group’s “brand” a major push overseas.

Famed fashion photographer Leslie Kee (41) has been arrested by Tokyo police for the sale of “obscene” imagery at a Roppongi Gallery. Kee, Singaporean by birth but based in Tokyo, is one of three arrested for selling photo books with pictures of male genitalia. The trio are suspected of selling seven books to two customers….

Apologies for the excess in AKB48-related posts recently. There’s just been so much to write about. The latest member of the idol “music” group to hit the tabloid rumor lane is Yuki Kashiwagi. She apparently went on a gokon, the group date very common among young people in Japan. Yuki’s late-night gokon might have been…

Who says the industry doesn’t look after its own? The Japanese porn world can get a bad rap, with lots of memoirs recently by former actresses recounting their woes and troubles after fucking and sucking their way through hundreds of men. But the porn documentary The Other Side of Sex, currently playing at the leading…

We’ve been enjoying a new Japanese adult film here at the Tokyo Kinky writing studio. It’s called Fifty Cocks Erection Tunnel and is produced by the ever-reliable Soft on Demand. It’s one of our favorite kinds of Japanese porn films, so-called kikaku “project” movies, which always involve some sort of unusual situation or challenge. In…

Imagine you are out in Shinjuku for some shopping and food. You need the ladies’ room so you head to the nearest facility. And then up ahead of you in the small cubicle, a floor-to-ceiling-sized giant head called “Ten Chi” starts to move towards you! Yes, this is ordinarily the stuff of nightmares — only…
