The next star of Gravure is Yuka Someya.

This curvy idol has a butt to die for and ravishing breasts.

Born in 1992 in Chiba, the 175cm-tall beauty promises to be the next superstar of the bikini pin-up world.

A survey with 3,000 Japanese women about one-night stands reveals some nice findings, though we always knew that Japanese girls are far from innocent.

Asking women with an average age of 42 (experience!), this is a pretty balanced poll by News Post Seven.

On average, 39% of women admitted to one-night stands.

And the “sluttiest” prefecture in Japan?

That accolade goes to Miyazaki in Kyushu, since 61.5% of the woman from there said they had had a one-night stand.

Up in the chilly north of Aomori, 60% admitted to one-night stands. With Fukushima at third and Kumamoto and Oita rounding out the top five, it seems that the cold north and clement south yield the most “free” women.

Okinawa, though, was second from the bottom (17.2%), though apparently women there in general start having sex earlier than most and get married young. Yamanashi ranked last with an appalling 5.2%!

According to some analysis, this may be because the prefecture is far from a big city but close enough to get home in a single day: one Yamanashi woman said she doesn’t stay overnight in Tokyo when she visits, limiting her chances of an “adventure”.

A similar reasoning is given for why Tochigi and Gifu ranked so low: they are “too close” to cities (Tokyo and Nagoya, respectively). People who actually live in a big city or live far from one are potentially more up for fun with the random folk they meet.

In a poll by News Post Seven in April (it seems to be the same survey, just with the results staggered between articles), researchers tried to find out who “liked sex”. A no-brainer, you might think, but then perhaps you haven’t had sex with a Japanese man.

Miyazaki, land of the one-nighters, ranked top with 84.6%, closely followed by northeast prefectures Yamagata and Fukushima.

A Yamagata respondent said that because there is so little local entertainment she spends her dates having sex with her boyfriend, especially in the snowed-in winters.

Prim and proper Kyoto was ranked lowest, with only 42% of respondents saying that they liked sex. It is a small city and, based on our anecdotal experience, women tend to live with their parents until they get married, limiting their experience. (Saying that, it also has a large student population, plenty of tourists, and also a reasonable number of foreigners due to the aforementioned colleges. A recipe for fun, we think!)

Over 40% of the women asked did not have any children, though 70% were already married.

So the conclusion is: try and find a lady from Miyazaki as soon as possible!

These days every fetish has a name. Kemonomimi (“animal ears”) is a type of moe anthropomorphism where girl and boy characters in manga and anime have animal-like accessories.

Catgirls are probably the most famous but there are lots of others, since almost anything or anyone can become any kind of “animal” — from dogs to wolves, rabbits and more.

All this moe inspires its fair share of adult toys.

Kemonomimi onaholes

You may think that masturbator sleeves had nowhere else further to go, but then you’d be wrong.

This is the Dekoboko Moo Moo Catgirl Onahole, a fairly typical example of a masturbator in this genre.

A popular butt onahole this one — the Nyanko Cat Girl Ass Onahole.

This is the probably the downright kinkiest in terms of packaging art: the Neko Musume Maonyan Catgirl Onahole.

Is the Order a Kemonomimi Musume Onahole? and Is the Order a Rabbit Ear Musume Onahole? are parody onaholes inspired by the manga series GochiUsa. Note the bunny tail.

Kemonomimi butt plugs

Another distinguishing feature of cats and other furry creatures, on top of the ears, of course, is the tail.

So what better a toy than a butt plug to help perfect that catgirl look?

These toys come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and have bells, lights and vibes attached too. Click the pictures to find out more.

Kemonomimi costumes

Japan is the land of cosplay and where would we be without catgirls and other furry elements to make kitten role-play fun? Try the Love Doll Nekomimi Cat Ears accessories as a good starter set.

Kemonomimi vibrators

The Cat Paw Myah Pussy Vibrator is a very original vibe: a buzzing “paw” that is soft and gentle enough, but knows how to purr you in the right places.

In general, zoophilia (the fetish for animals) and bestiality (human-creature sexual interaction) have deep roots in Japan.

This doesn’t surprise since the gods and other supernatural creatures (youkai, ghosts, obake, etc) frequently shapeshift into animal form.

Kitsune-tsuki means the state of being possessed by a kitsune, the folkloric foxes that served as familiars of the Inari god and frequently shapeshifted into human form. Cats (bakeneko) and raccoon-dog (tanuki) also commonly change form, according to superstition.

Tentacle sex (shokushu goukan, sometimes called “tentacle rape”) is a famous trope here in art and culture, and has also inspired lots of sex toys and a ton of porn too.

Plus there are shunga scenes like this…

Not to mention the controversial work of artist Makoto Aida.

A 38-year-old municipal employee of Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, has been arrested for indecent exposure.

Local cops took the Yoshihiro Sekiguchi into custody on May 19th on suspicion of exposing his lower half to a 19-year-old female part-time worker at a Maebashi drug store.

The incident allegedly happened on April 2nd at around 9:30 at night when the man was at the cash register buying something. He then showed his penis to the young lady serving him.

The store manager reported the incident to police on April 6th and it was confirmed on the shop’s CCTV. Japanese police move fast: it’s only taken them over a month to nab the suspect.

There are some theories racing around for what exactly he did and why.

Perhaps the man wanted to know how large he was downstairs. “What size condom am I?” he might have asked the terrified teenager.

Or he possibly wanted to show her his “affected” area to get her opinion on the drugs he needed.

Or maybe he’s just a roshutsu fetishist. Hmm…

First we heard that former SKE48 idol Momona Kito was making her porn debut as Yua Mikami.

Then we saw the hair nude shoot released in advanced.

Now BattyforNudity2 has got hold of some images from the actual porn, the 180-minute “Princess Peach”, released by Muteki in June.

We were excited before. We are REALLY excited now!

A new branch of Hooters Tokyo, the politically incorrect eaterie, has opened in Shinjuku.

The first Japan branch in Akasaka has been a big success with horny salarymen, it seems. This Shinjuku outlet is the fifth for the chain in Japan. It’s located in a former underground theatre space.

120 people lined up to get into the west Shinjuku restaurant — to try the menu, of course. We’re sure it had nothing to do with the hot girls.

Hooter Girls Marissa Raisor and Janet Layug came from America to attend the opening, though we were more interested in the local women on display.

Here are some gratuitous images of the ladies, who all seem to have that Asian American look to them.

Hooters Japan even produced its own magazine with Gravure model Risa Yoshiki on the cover (sadly not working as an actual Hooters Girl).

Idol Sako Makita is a 21-year-old member of Passpo, an idol group with a flight attendant theme.

However, the group’s agency had to apologize and suspend Makita’s Twitter account on May 14th after it was allegedly “hacked”.

Makita, or at least her Twitter account, told the world that all idols are ill-educated and that they have sex with “everyone”, says Tokyo Reporter.

“All the members in the group are unable to use their head,” read one message, “and I can’t stand it. Mostly they’ve only graduated from junior high school and they are not normal people. I’m surprised I’ve been able to continue until now.”

“I should have never started in the entertainment business at all,” she continued. “From the start, I’ve dealt with ugly people, and I’ve had sex with everyone.”

Just prior to the Twitter hack, Makita had actually announced she would be taking a break from Passpo from May 31st, leading some to speculate that her account had been attacked by an angry fan — or that Makita had actually herself even spouted the truth about an industry she was glad to be leaving.

As we know, the idol business (like the Gravure world) is basically makura trade (i.e. you have sex to get ahead), where idols are forced to have sex with middle-aged, Yakuza-connected management bods in order to move up in their careers.

Get a 360-degree panorama “virtual shot” of a hot Japanese Gravure model.

This “VR Girl” campaign features Miyako Akane, who has participated in Japan’s biggest fetish event and also posed nude for a May issue of Playboy. She also posed for some of the hottest swimsuit shots we’ve seen in a while.

So we’ve established that Miyako Akane is hot.

So what?

Well, by downloading the immersive 360-degree videos app Kolor Eyes it seems you will be able to get a virtual reality-like experience of her, creating by 360Studio. It also works with the Oculus Rift, a device well-known for its erotic uses.

None of us are really sure what this means and don’t have the energy to get through with the whole rigmarole. However, we think it’s a cool combination of hot girls and tech.

You can see an example of the high-res 360-degree video by clicking through to their Dropbox link. Otherwise, we suspect the demo videos don’t really do justify to the VR experience.

Here she plays with some electric cars racing around a racing track.

In this version Miyako Akane reads scary stories.

As you can see, this plays into a common trope/fetish with Gravure models: watching them doing utterly banal things in bikinis or other states of undress.

The promo is a collaboration with Silly, a studio that specializes in inventive Gravure shoots.

In our continuing quest to document recent developments in Korean movie sex scenes, we now turn to Lee Yoo-young and her nude appearance in Late Spring.

The 2014 film itself is set in South Korea in the 1960′s in a quiet village, where a sculptor finds a new muse in the shape of the comely Lee Yoo-young.

While the film lacks real sex scenes, it does have provide ravishing glimpses at Lee Yoo-young’s body as she poses for her artist.

She is also starring in the upcoming film The Treacherous, also starring Lim Ji-yeon, which promises to be pretty racy.

Joining the recent silliness of Condom Day in the (ever-increasing) list of odd anniversaries in Japan, “Kiss Day” is celebrated on May 23rd because it is the day that the film Hatachi no seishun (20-Year-Old Youth) was released in 1946.

In case you’re not a film buff, that’s the movie that featured the first ever kiss scene, though the stars may have had gauze between them.

To celebrate, Edition Aoyama, a club in Akasaka, Tokyo, is holding an event on Saturday where couples (not necessarily male-female, it seems) are invited to kiss each other through an acrylic plastic panel.

It’s basically a gokkon group blind date event, though with this “kissing” gimmick thrown in as a kind of novel ice-breaker.

Kind of like those movie scenes where couples kiss between a window panel.

Needless to say, no tongues are allowed.

Who says romance is dead?

There is actually a precedent for this, it seems. Here’s an example from a wacky Japanese TV show (no shortage of those).

Even Japanese male baseball players like to do the “acrylic kiss” sometimes, it seems.

All this isn’t doing much to dissuade those loud proclaimers of “sexless Japan“.

Can the Japanese even kiss? Anyone who’s ever seen Japanese TV will know that kissing in dramas is basically 1950′s-style — a slightly sustained lip-contact only.

And even in Japanese porn, who doesn’t find the kissing strange sometimes? Like the man just wants to lick the girl’s face. At best, they just seem to poke their tongues out and have them lap at each other like mating snakes.

Take a look at Sora Aoi demonstrating a Japanese porn “kiss”.

Much of the focus seems to be on licking, being “dirty” and “wet” — and exchanging bodily fluids through the mouth. Is there any porn without a gratuitous drool shot?

Donald Richie wrote in 1983 about Japanese kissing.

Over 100 years ago the brothers Goncourt apparently heard that “the kiss did not exist in Japanese love-making”, which might explain a few things.

The kiss was certainly not official sanctioned until modern times. Kissing was a kind of perversion, “something one did only when carried away by passion itself.” Translators of western books into Japanese initially had to resort to the word “one lick” (hitoname) to try to convey the practice.

Today everyone says kissu but the “real” Japanese word is seppun, since to use the borrowed English “sanitizes by endistancing”. The action is not quite socially okay, but a euphemism makes it permissible.

The Japanese, since they don’t kiss family members, view it only as a deeply dirty or erotic act — certainly not something to do in public.

Even today, couples almost never kiss each other in public — even just a peck. (Likewise for family members.)

Here’s something even stranger, in 2011 there was also this “kiss transmission” device for remote snogs.

She was hot before. She just got hotter.

The Orient Industry Real Love Doll Yasuragi has now got “levelled up” to that archetype of Japanese beauty: pure white skin.

The Real Love Doll Yasuragi White Skin is another luxury silicone sex doll from Japan’s top doll studio.

Essentially the details are the same as the previous hit Yasuragi, only this time with pure bihaku (white skin). This is similar to what Orient Industry did with their amazing Ange doll a little while ago.

There is a choice of four wonderful faces: Minami Iikura, Madoka Kurihara, Chigusa Hara, or Kaoru Mochizuki.

Plus you can choose extras like movable eyes, flexible eyes, integrated underhair, and so on.

Another really cool thing now is that Orient Industry dolls include the luxury Mitsu no Tsubo masturbators that are some of the best quality onaholes released onto the market in years.

Well, what do you expect they are designed by Orient Industry? These are the people who truly pioneered sex dolls and artificial companions in Japan… including dolls with wine-dispensing breasts!

I think we have our new favorite lady in the entire world! Or at least, for the time being.

Sonoya Mizuno is a haafu model and actress. A rare example of a British-Japanese, she is frankly stunning.

She is one of several naked female bodies on display in the hit sci-fi film Ex Machina.

In one scene from the movie she shows off her slinky naked body with full-frontal nudity. Unfortunately, things then get a bit weird.

She was born in Japan in 1988 but grew in England. First a ballet dancer, she moved into modelling and acting in her twenties.

Her face reminds us of Naoko Watanabe, one of the great underrated beauties in Japan.

Yes, finally! Japan is getting its first ever shunga exhibition, opening in Tokyo this September.

While legally you can’t show genitalia in films, porn or even art (as Megumi Igarashi has found out to her misfortune), Japan has an immensely rich history of sexually explicit art and erotica.

The important thing to remember about shunga (literally “spring paintings”) is that they were created by some of the most famous and popular woodblock print artists, including Hokusai and Utamaro. Sure, they were more niche than the most iconic prints — but they were still part of the mainstream.

This all got forgotten when Japan tried to “modernize” in a kind of strange copy of the western model.

The result? There has never been a large-scale shunga exhibition in Japan or porn is pixellated, as is full-frontal nudity in regular movies. Go figure.

Shunga have also faced censorship in the past, with the key penetration or genitalia imagery blocked out from view. However, many books have been published in recent years with the prints in their full glory, so perhaps this is a sign of progress.

We’ve seen also shunga on public display in Japan before but usually curtained off discreetly as part of another exhibition.

Incredibly, it was overseas appreciation of shunga that has prompted this first major show, such as the British Museum exhibition in 2013-14, which was visited by 88,000 people in three months!

Featuring mainly the same work seen at the London institution and drawing from the collection of former prime minister Morihiro Hosokawa, the Tokyo exhibition happening from September 19th to December 23rd at Tokyo’s Eisei Bunko Museum in Bunkyo-ku.

Naturally, you have to be at least 18 years old to get in to see the 120 works.

We always find it fascinating how the penis is exaggerated and enlarged in shunga — much like erotic manga today also features massive cocks and breasts, but still slender waist. This déformer style has very old roots in Japan.

While certain motifs and aspects are obviously exaggerated and reveal the “male gaze”, shunga do also tell us a lot about the history of sex in Japan and include depictions of old sex toys, and also tropes like “tentacle rape“.

On a side note, we also recommend you check out Japan’s amazing “fart war” scrolls for a glimpse into historical toilet humor!

Our lovely this week is the young and very up-and-coming Ikumi Hisamatsu.

Born in 1996, she’s still a teenager but has already taken the Gravure world by storm.

On a recent trip to Kyodo, a station in Setagaya, Tokyo, we were amused to see the Colonel Sanders outside the local KFC had been decorated in a black and red costume.

Naturally our first thoughts were: that’s a Tenga theme.

It suspiciously matches the color design for the Tenga SD Deep Throat Hard Cup toy.

I have no proof that KFC was indeed being cheeky here. It might be just some anime reference or a samurai armor costume.

They frequently dress up their famous mascot mannequins outside the outlets depending on the season. But we can’t imagine why else they would choose this style of costume.

What do you think?

As shared by BattyforNudity2, we were delighted to see Korean actress Ha Joo-hee had gone very nude in several sex scenes in the adult-rated comedy Love Clinic.

In the movie she plays a urologist. While hardly the sexiest of occupations, it’s clear from the pictures that Ha Joo-hee triumphs in the role.

Ha Joo-hee (sometimes spelt Ju-hee) was born in 1982.

Here are some gifs to give you an even more eye-popping glimpse into Ha Joo-hee’s talents.

Get your facesitting (queening, kinging) kick with Qure Siouxsie (@siouxsieq5), a kink mistress who will be bringing her leggy charms to a range of strangers’ faces this weekend in Tokyo.

Facesitting (ganmenkijou in Japanese) has a following locally, so expect this lady to get a long line of men waiting to have their faces squashed by her body at this fetish event on May 30th.

From 1pm to 6pm you can get your face sat on by Siouxsie (dressed u in an office lady — OL — style) and other ladies. It is free for women to attend but costs ¥8,000 ($64) for men. If you want to have two ladies or more sit on you at once, be prepared to pay extra.

The organizers say they take no responsibility “if you nose is flattened”! Now that’s a disclaimer if ever there was one.

The star of the event, Qure Siouxsie, appears in adult videos where she is the dominatrix getting a series of men’s rocks off while wearing a mask. The costume seems to be her trademark outfit. We also love her swimsuit, though we are keen to see her in OL gear for the facesitting event too.

Hat tip to @tokyoscum.

Yesterday we wrote about a facesitting event in Tokyo this Saturday.

Now here’s your chance to be a Gravure idol.

Of course, people are auditioning to be guradoru all the time but Sony Music is holding its first open call audition for women who want to be actresses, TV celebrities (tarento) and Gravure models.

Applications opened on Monday and close on June 30th.

You have to be aged between 15 and 30 years old, but any nationality is accepted. Friends and sisters can apply together. Group applications make win prizes, such as a trip to Tokyo Disney Resort.

If you are picked, you have the chance of a career as a Gravure idol with Sony Music.

Auditions are held through a process of application documents (submitted by post or online), interviews and then a session at a waterpark. The final judging takes place in September.

Good luck!

The Candy Lotion Portable Lubricants will fool anyone until they try to eat one of your sweets.

On the surface, all you’ve got in your hand is a bag of candy.

In fact, these are mini capsules which can be broken to give you an oozing lube for enjoying with a partner, by yourself, or with a sex toy.

This makes them very discrete if you want to leave them lying around or even if you want to take them around with you — in your bag to work or to the store. You never know when you might need some lube!

It’s not just a gimmick. The lubes are really effective too.

There are three types included in the bag, each with its own color. There is the “normal” type, suitable for couple play. The “hard” type is for when you want to go at it rough, while the “moist” ones offer a good lubricating experience for girls (or other partners) who are particularly dry.

While the lube looks like candy, it’s not actually edible or flavored, though. The emphasis is on practicalities (disguise, application) here, not on cheap effects.

Forget any offering from Ghibli or the like. The top anime release of the year is already here.

And it’s got Tenga in it!

Tenga features in the latest episode of the Nonty series of short anime, where the eponymous character talks to another character called Danny.

Danny sadly has a Tenga onacup stuck on his head and begs Nonty to tell him the best way to get it off.

This one also features a eight-year-anniverary special Tenga onacup and Nonty tries to educate Danny about what Tenga is.

We’re stick waiting for Tenga, the Video Game. Perhaps it will look something like this.
