Released in Japan as Chotto Kawaii Iron Maiden, we previously wrote about The Torture Club, a soft-core bondage film starring Noriko Kijima based on a manga. Now that Kota Yoshida’s erotic film has had some sort of a stateside release, it seems, by chance we found some better screen grabs, so indulge us in a…

Korea has the infamy of “the nation of prostitution” and it gets even stronger as it exports its biggest asset (and no, we don’t mean Samsung). Along highways you used to find lines of sex shops with open windows like the chon no ma you get in Ueno, Kawasaki or in Osaka. In the old…

Top gravure idol Anna Konno has just won herself a lot more love from her legions of male fans. The finely chested veteran model also moonlights as an actress and has uppped her game by stripping off for the new two-part film Ah, Wilderness, as we blogged earlier this month. Now we can share even…

We don’t wish to stoke any more international anger between Japan and Korea, but we just had to blog this when we read about it. The December issue of tabloid rag SAPIO is reporting that, while it is not a fact that Korean men have the smallest of cocks, it is smaller than normal. Just…

Park Si-yeon, Lee Seung-yeon, and Jang Mi-inae are the latest actresses to be investigated and charged. Yeong Hyeon has also been fined…

Hikari Mitsushima is one of those interesting cases of a teenage music idol (in the Okinawan group Folder 5) who dabbled in gravure shoots before establishing herself as a serious actress. She is now one of the most prominent performers of her generation but also a mainstream celebrity of sorts, appearing in advertising campaigns and…

Following the orbital rise of Korean girl unit Girls Generation, Japanese pop has been searching for who can combat the continental ladies’ incredible leg power. This answer, it is being touted, is this new group, Bikyaku Jidai — literally “Beautiful Legs Era” — who have been formed for this express purpose. The main qualification for…

Ever since watching the delightful first genuine nude scene by Hikari Mitsushima in a movie last year, we have been on something of a high. And now comes some shots from a new nude scene with the actress Fumi Nikaido (like Mitsushima, an Okinawa native). The scene in question is from River’s Edge, a comedy…
