Things about gender are not always clearcut in Japan. Some of the guys can spend as much time and money on their skincare and hair as the ladies. Styles of haircuts and clothing too are not always divided down the conventional male-female divide, from the male kimono to the elaborate styling of nightclub hosts. And…

While Japan is always keen to promote its traditional culture to the world, the truth about it is sometimes complex and not altogether positive. Geisha are one of the most iconic images associated with Japan, especially Kyoto. But in very simplistic terms, geisha were and remain not so different from modern-day hostesses in that they…

Roshutsu outdoor/public sex is a big part of adult video in Japan and, thanks to Fantia and OnlyFans, there are also lots of amateurs trying to make a quick yen by making and posting their own videos. But be careful, folks: the boys in blue are not as keen on your content! Yuina Yamamoto was…

Actors. Singers. Musicians. Sportsmen. Comedians. Being one of these is apparently a sure-fire ticket into the panties of hot girls. It’s a truism, indeed, but few would dispute it. And one that’s certainly true in Japan — even for porn stars. Remember how we reported in 2021 about the comedian who was dating Japanese porn…

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…

So you’ve already got your breast-shaped fortune and your handwritten schoolgirl love letter. The latest item available from Japan’s capsule toy vending machines (gachapon or gashapon), which usually sell collectibles for kids, is a mini denma massager vibrator. As regular readers or avid Japanese adult video viewers will know well, the denma “wand” is a…

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…

At Tokyo Kinky, we hope we don’t moralize. We like to stay as open as possible, even — and perhaps especially — when the tastes do not match our own. And given the kind of content we share, we are hardly qualified to get on a high horse and start preaching to the masses. As…

Sometimes, things do have a happy ending. When AKB48’s Minami Minegishi shaved her head back in 2013 to apologize for a sex scandal, it prompted immense controversy over the control that management has over idols’ private/person lives, and sparked headlines around the world. Her tearful video, head shaven like a nun, was painful to watch…

It’s not just top businessmen and politicians who frequent the pricey hostess bars of Ginza and elsewhere. Male celebrities also have expensive tastes, including spending time with the attractive younger ladies who (as long as you keep buying them over-priced drinks) will pretend to find your conversation interesting and hint that they might be willing…
