Some stories are stranger than fiction and Anri Sakaguchi’s is almost one such tale.

The 28-year-old, whose real name is Mizue Nozawa, has added multiple hyphenates to her name over the past few of years as her life and career has taken all kinds of twists and turns.

The daughter of a well-known actress and a one-time tarento herself, she made her unexpected adult video debut in 2016 to pay off her huge debts. This would be sensational enough for most people but Anri Sakaguchi is not most people.

She was then arrested in 2017 for attempted extortion of a bar host with whom she was involved. She had apparently demanded money from him in exchange for an intimate photo. The case was later dropped by police.

Though she subsequently announced she had quit AV after a handful of releases (under the name ANRI), she then worked as a hostess, stripper, and even a call girl.

And whatever she is doing now, it’s clearly not keeping her out of trouble.

Her alleged crime this time is quite minor and under ordinary circumstances it would be peculiar for someone to receive the perp walk treatment. She was arrested on trespassing charges after she entered the property of a boyfriend — yet another bar host — who did not want her there. This happened one morning earlier this week after a dispute following a taxi ride home. She apparently chased after the man to get the taxi fare back.

Her arrest by Tokyo Metropolitan Police made national news. We’d be surprised if they actually prosecute her over such a minor incident but, regardless, it’s only the latest development in Sakaguchi’s ongoing troubles.

With new legal bills and the like surely to pay in the near future, is a return to adult video in the offing?

We have continued to follow the nudity and sex scenes on display in the Netflix Japanese-language serial The Naked Director, which charts the incredible career of Japanese porn giant Toru Muranishi.

Following our look at the nude sex scenes by gravure idol Ruri Shinato and actress Ami Tomite, we will focus this time on the nudity by Misato Morita.

The lesser-known yet beautiful 22-year-old actress Misato Morita (森田望智) plays Kaoru Kuroki, the eventual AV superstar.

In one episode early on, we see what she looks like masturbating in the shower. The scene also includes a realistic period touch in that she has hairy armpits.

It is quickly apparent why they chose a lesser-known actress for this role, since it involves substantial nudity and an established star in Japan would be unlikely to agree to that.

Here are some other highlights. In one long sex scene, Morita does full-frontal nudity where you can clearly see her bush as she fucks Muranishi.

They have sex in a number of positions and there’s a great shot of Morita energetically straddling her man and also fingering herself — and this is all while the busy couple are surrounded by crew members, lighting equipment, and video cameras filming their antics. Now that’s professionalism.

We will write up another post with more nudes from the drama series next week.

Formerly of idol group NMB48, Miyuki Watanabe’s new photo book sees the slinky young lady pose semi-nude. The shoot includes the 25-year-old in a tebura (“hand bra”) pose for her first photo book in three years, Miyuki desu. (This is Miyuki.).

While the semi-transparent bottoms are rather lovely and there’s the hint of a butt crack, it’s not a particularly explicit in terms of nudity — no buttocks on display, just some side boob — but fans will still be pleased with the tantalizing glimpses she offers of her body.

Will this be enough to maintain her career after leaving the Osaka idol group? The sales of the photo book, which came out on August 23rd, will probably be the ultimate decider of that.

Is it just us or is Miyuki Watanabe starting to look a bit like gradol Yuka Ogura these days?

One of the most sensational stories over the summer was that of nude jukujo model Kazuko Iwamoto, who was arrested for stabbing her married, younger lover at a train station apparently after he spurned her for getting pregnant.

The details of the adultery and the 43-year-old model’s descent into what was possibly a kind of mental collapse are lurid yet also all too familiar.

Now the dust has settled, we can take a look at the career that Iwamoto has more than likely destroyed with her act of vengeance.

In the summer, just as fate was taking a strange turn for her, Iwamoto released her latest “image video” (image BD) on Blu-ray called “Adult Invitation” (オトナの誘惑).

Now there is a “remake” version coming out, most likely without Iwamoto’s direct participation and presumably using extra or unused footage. The producers are surely hoping to capitalize on Iwamoto’s notoriety.

The explicit video shows full-frontal nudity and plays out a scenario in which Iwamoto is seduced (or seduces the viewer) in a hotel room in the role of older office lady.

As the screengrabs make clear, it’s not quite AV but it’s still very much porn. Sometimes a woman alone is even sexier than a couple going at it.

Japan’s top adult brand, Tenga, already amazed the Internet with its first Tenga Robo toy last year, inspired by the antics of creative netizens. Now it is back with a line of limited-edition collaboration items that are just as vibrant and fun as the first.

Combining the design of Tenga’s Onacup masturbation aids with robot characters, the toys measure 20 cm in height and are made in collaboration with characters created by the Go Nagai (Devilman, Cutey Honey, and Harenchi Gakuen).

Based on the 1970s anime/manga Mazinger Z, the black Mazinger Tenga Robo comes with a Jet Scrander wings jet pack for flying into the world of pleasure.

For more hard-core fans, there is also a Rocket Punch Mazinger Tenga Robo set with a giant Tenga Onacup like a fist. A masturbatory KO?

Based on the titular sci-fi anime series from the 1970s, the red Getter Tenga Robo features a special Getter Wing cape and a pair of handy Getter Tomahawks, since masturbation is a serious business that may involve combat with deadly foes.

The latest Tenga Robo toys are only available by reservation directly from Tenga until October 9th, with delivery set for February next year. If you are keen to add them to your collection, contact our friends at Kanojo Toys about arranging the ordering and delivery.

Alas, they are not actual onacups and you cannot use them to pleasure your manhood. For that, see Tenga’s awesome lineup of actual adult toys.

It seems that top Japanese porn star Nanami Matsumoto (松本菜奈実) has a fan or admirer in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.

The J-cup AV idol shared on Twitter with her followers that she was surprised to receive a notification in the mail from the LDP congratulating her on joining the party — and enclosing her party membership card.

She claims to have done no such thing and is confused as to how the LDP got ahold of her address.

Could it be a simple bureaucratic slip-up? Or did a worker in the party just really want to make contact with her, and abused his power to find out her personal information using government resources?

Or is this a stealth marketing stunt by the LDP’s public relations bods, in the hope of attracting new voters? I.e., they involuntarily recruit the porn star as a member and use her to promote the party to horny men?

Hmm… Not sure how effective that would be unless they could follow up with AV-inspired policies. Here’s one, for starters: change the obscenity laws so that it’s not illegal to depict genitalia.

Now that’s what we call “liberal” and “democratic.”

See all the penetration action with the Raw Creampie See-through Musume DX Onahole.

In what is apparently an industry-first, the onahole combines a semi-transparent body with a vagina replica in a very flexible dual structure.

This gives the toy some serious wobble factor yet it is still sturdy enough for enjoying flat in the missionary position or even held upright on your member, like it is riding you in the cowgirl position while you lie down.

But best of all is the see-through materials, which mean your creampie (nakadashi) action will never be hidden from view. And quite rightly so. There’s quite like seeing an erect member throbbing as it releases its hard-earned climax.

This is a “deluxe” update of the previous hit, the Raw Creampie See-through Musume Onahole — hence the “DX” appellation. This is pretty common practice with Japanese onaholes, which often release deluxe or “hard” editions of successful masturbator toys.

The Raw Creampie See-through Musume DX Onahole is a worthy follow-up, heavier and more realistic than its predecessor but even softer and more versatile.

The Raw Creampie See-through Musume DX Onahole is available from our friends at Kanojo Toys, you one-stop store for onaholes, masturbators, vibrators, dolls, dakimakura pillows, and all things adult about Japan.

Private photos have leaked online showing idol Yui Yokoyama of AKB48 in her underwear kissing and embracing her boyfriend.

Needless to say — if the photos are genuine — this scandal certainly breaks the no-dating rule in her contract with management, not to mention will both excite and disappoint fans.

The three images leaked online on the night of September 6th. We don’t think the 18-year-old Yokoyama or her management have made a comment yet confirming or denying the photos. It isn’t clear yet why the photos leaked, though they apparently date back to when she was still in junior high school.

Yui Yokoyama is an Aomori native who joined the supergroup in 2014. She is a member of Team 8.

In the cutthroat world of idols, the faintest whiff of scandal can derail a career. We suspect that Yui may well be graduating from AKB48 sooner rather than later. When similar photos of Mayu Harada leaked, she was promptly forced to resign from Keyakizaka46.

In her latest TV drama series role, busty gravure model Fumika Baba is shown in an AKB48 cosplay costume being sexually assaulted.

In Na mo naki Fukusha Zegen (Nameless Revenger Zegen, 名もなき復讐者 ZEGEN), Baba plays a prostitute who gives sensual massages to her clients before sex. One session when she is dressed up like an AKB48 idol is rougher than expected and she is raped by the client.

While that is certainly rougher sex than the kind we usually like to watch, there’s no denying that Fumika looks great in an AKB48 costume.

Based on a novel, the TV series is broadcast on Kansai TV late on Thursday nights (since August 30th) and also stars former AKB48 idol Mariya Nagao (as another prostitute) and the model Aina Yamada.

Anticipation is building over the adult video debut of a lady being trumpeted as the “beauty from Kobe.”

Known only as Mino (美乃), the goddess has an insane F-cup (?) bust and will apparently release her first porn DVD at the end of October from Eightman Production.

Whoever she is and wherever she came from is irrelevant at this point. I mean, just look at that body. And at those breasts.

The hair nude (full-frontal) shoot photos have already set the Japanese internet on fire. Let’s now see if that translates into DVD sales and then an extended porn career for this stunning Mino.

Sometimes sex can feel so good, it’s like you are flying. Wait, what? All right, that’s not the best metaphor for describing the euphoria of hot sex.

But apparently it’s the inspiration behind this strange new adult video from Golden Time.

The porn release (gdhh00165) is 230 minutes of a woman being thrown into the air by the “super high-speed piston” that is her partner’s penis.

The woman in question is meant to be schoolgirl virgin. But when she rides her male lover in the cowgirl position, her feet start to leave the ground with his thrusting. That’s quite a bounce.

So not quite the mile-high club. More like the meter-high club?

Unfortunately the preview images make the AV look like some very private shots taken from an Aum Shinrikyo facility during the early 1990s. The Aum cult’s guru claimed to be able to levitate!

Nonetheless, we are very curious to watch this AV — and also the behind-the-scenes making-of footage to see how they achieved those “flying” shots.

If a job needs doing, hire a professional.

And that’s what the makers of the The Naked Director did.

For a drama series about the adult video pioneer Toru Muranishi, you need to include plenty of sex on camera.

We’ve already looked at the nude scenes in the Netflix series by the likes of newcomer Misato Morita, gravure idol Ruri Shinato, and former AKB48 Ami Tomite, among others. The makers even threw in a sex scene with a non-Japanese actress, Jade Albany Pietrantonio.

But for a truly realistic result, you need actual porn stars. And so the producers sensibly hired Nanami Kawakami (川上奈々美) to do nude sex scenes.

The alluring Japanese beauty is shown in vigorous sex scenes both indoors and outdoors (it’s essentially one extended scene from several angles). And you know you can trust her depiction of performing porn for the cameras, since the 26-year-old has a wealth of experience herself.

We like the attention to details, like how her bush is covered by a kind of fabric. This is the kind of technique that AV used before the days of pixellation.

After her sexual assault and the subsequent scandal that engulfed the NGT48 management in late 2018, Maho Yamaguchi left the idol group under a cloud of trauma and fury. She has, however, decided to return to the entertainment and idol world — but on her own terms.

As we reported last month, this involves a rather surprisingly provocative photo book. Given her history of assault, you might expect Maho to tone down the sexualization of her image. But it seems she is fine with that as long as she has management she can trust.

To further tantalize fans, now behind-the-scenes footage has emerged showing Maho delicately stripping off during the shoot.

This is no leak. It was shared by Maho Yamaguchi herself on Twitter and the short video has been viewed, at time of writing, almost 300,000 times.

The photo book, present, goes on sale from September 17th.

Our apologies for the poor quality of the screengrabs in this post. We hope to publish a post with decent scans and images from the photo book in due course.

As former NGT8 idol’s Maho Yamaguchi cements her recovery from the mistreatment she received at the hands of the group’s management with her debut photo book, another ex-AKB group lady is determined to make her mark after graduating.

Previously a member of AKB48 from 2013 to 2017, Nana Owada releases her first photo book, Risutaato (Restart), which came out on September 15th amid reasonable publicity.

As we reported in August, Nana has chosen the semi-nude style of shoot to make a splash, including the classic tebura “hand bra” shot. In fact, though, the first leaked photos from the book, which was shot in Hawaii, show that Nana is even more nude than expected. This is almost as nude as you can get without showing actual muff or nipples.

We suspect there was some careful post-production touching-up (ha ha, not like that), where some lucky photo editors had to remove the nipples and other signs of genitalia. After all, we reckon you can’t do a shoot like this in a pool without at least a flash of something appearing in the final image.

Nana Owada is surprisingly curvy for this type of idol — attracting praise as the “new Sayaka Isoyama,” though we personally think that former AKB48 idol Rina Hirata deserves that title.

Regardless of who gets the crown, the good news is that Nana is a mere 20 years — and has now come of age, legally and professionally — and hopefully with many more such busy years ahead of her.

Ex-NMB48 idol Miyuki Watanabe and ex-AKB48 idol Ayaka Umeda did something a little similar with their photo books, but Nana wins the contest for us — at least for now.

An update on the mega-selling Puni Ana onahole series, the Puni Ana-roid Sex Machine is a new adult toy that is not only an awesome electric male masturbator sleeve but also comes with an integrated voice feature to accentuate the penetration experience.

This “android” masturbator is programmed for one purpose only: servicing your manhood and giving you the best, and perhaps most futuristic, orgasm possible. Start up her systems at the push of a button and let the Puni Ana-roid take care the rest with its seven powerful piston patterns and seven vibration patterns. The controls interface are good ol’ fashioned buttons but that’s nowt wrong with that, since they let you adjust the piston and spinning quite precisely.

If you are worried about your hands getting tired from holding onto this bad boy while it gyrates your member, you can rest assured you can affix the toy to a table or other surface. The end has a suction cup with a hinge so you can angle the toy within a 180-degree range to achieve your preferred thrusting position.

But we think the best and most original feature is the ten-minute anime character sex voice audio, which can be enjoyed via the integrated speaker or included earphones.

That said, we reckon they missed a trick with the naming, though. Why not Puni Ana-droid? That would have really pushed the gynoid fantasies a little more. Not that we need the encouragement.

The Puni Ana-roid Sex Machine is available now for global orders from our friends at Kanojo Toys.

We’ve had a thing for gravure idol Yumi Asahina for quite a while. We’ve, ahem, entertained ourselves by parsing her many photo shoots, especially the ones that exploit her ass for all its incredible worth.

She went fully nude for a hair nude photo book last year (her debut photo book) that had a seriously vintage feel.

But the 26-year-old, G-cup Yumi Asahina has also stripped for one of her many image video releases, which includes explicit shots of her amazing breasts and nipples.

In the video, the slinky Yumi also demonstrates how awesome paizuri would be with her bust through some closeups of her squeezed breasts.

Unfortunately we can’t ascertain exactly which of the videos these screengrabs come from, though we don’t think it’s her latest, Yugen, which comes out at the end of this month. We’re fairly confident it is the image video release that accompanied her debut photo book, “Asahina Gaho.”

We already hinted at this last week when we showcased gravure idol Fumika Baba’s sex scene in a recent TV drama series, but it’s high time we gave her photo shoot for Anan a post of its own. Because it is frigging awesome.

The seriously busty model has burst into the mainstream with her recent acting credits and this latest cover for Anan (issue 2167, September 11th) is likely to cement her reputation.

Man, this is better than most of the shoots that appear in Weekly Playboy and the like.

Anan is nominally a fashion and lifestyle magazine but has a well-established reputation for such cover shoots featuring hot models and actresses in the buff. Just a handful of past examples include Rino Sashihara, Minami Tanaka, Yui Ichikawa, and Nanao. It has produced various “sex” issues that have pushed the conversation on sexuality in pop culture in Japan.

And now Fumika has her own part in this lineage.

Of all the Japanese adult brands out there, Tama Toys is the one that continues to impress — and more often than not in fun, non-flashy ways with its innovative sex toys.

The Anal Pic Tuc is the latest example of the Tama Toys approach: original, cheeky, and straightforward.

Anal Pic Tuc is a hand-shaped, finger dildo that gives you a simple yet very effective way to enjoy the stimulation of anal fingering without the need to use your actual digits. This can be better for hygiene and also enhances the options for pleasure because this “hand” is an anal probe with some serious length — and a greater degree of flexibility than an average human finger.

As our friends at Kanojo Toys say, “this beginner-friendly anal toy features a slender middle finger anal probe that offers the delights of backdoor fingering regardless of your level of experience.” And quite right. Why should anal fingering be off limits to people without experience or the real tools at their disposal?

The Tama Toys Anal Pic Tuc is available internationally now from Kanojo Toys, shipped direct and discreetly from Tokyo to your door.

British-Japanese actress, dancer, and former Ravijour lingerie actress Sonoya Mizuno has added another nude scene to her credits.

In the movie Ambition, Mizuno is seen having sex with a man on a bed before climbing off to get changed. It’s a brief yet sensual scene.

The thriller directed by Robert Shaye was released this month in America.

Born in Tokyo in 1986 and raised in Britain, Mizuno previously did a very memorable full-frontal nude scene in the acclaimed science fiction movie Ex Machina.

She also recently had a main role in the Jonah Hill and Emma Stone Netflix serial Maniac.

Former AKB48 idol and now popular and successful actress Ami Tomite has released a new photo book.

Despite having several quite high-profile acting credits to her name, this is actually only the 25-year-old’s second photo book. That being said, it’s another “hair nude” full-frontal book, this time shot by photographer Keiko Nomura.

Her first came out in 2016 and was shot by the nude veteran Hajime Sawatari. This new effort is from the long-running Gekkan series and came out on August 30th.

Here are some shots.

These are highlights from her raw and sensual first photo book, which we couldn’t help revisiting.

Of course, Ami Tomite has done at least one nude shoot before that was widely published and shared, taken from her debut photo book we think, and has also established a name for herself as an actress willing to take her clothes off for sex scenes. For examples, see her memorable contributions to the The Naked Director and Antiporno.
