After having revolutionized male masturbation, most of Tenga’s most exciting recent toys have been catered towards women — and it’s about time too!

The latest in the Iroha series of vibrators is the Tenga Iroha Pleasure Item Temari, inspired by classic temari craft balls. Now that’s not a sentence we expected to be writing any time soon, but there you have it. Clearly the design bods at Tenga are looking to different horizons than the rest of us mortals. And when the results are this visually stunning and functionally impressive, it’s evident that embroidery craft balls was the right choice for this series to take.

Their special ball design means you can use them for a long time without having your hands go numb from the vibrations, while the curves allow you to reach sensitives areas easily and without abrupt shifts in texture. This vibrator is packed with a powerful motor yet remains subtle and quiet.

It comes in three classic-looking color schemes: hana (pink), kaze (rainbow), and mizu (blue).

The whole thing is powered by USB, charging up in its discreet cup-style receptacle that also integrates the minimal controls as one button on the base.

Another week, another arrest for drug charges in the Japanese entertainment world. And another career in ruins.

It is, at the end of the day, all rather silly. In the grand scheme of things, is marijuana such a big deal? Apparently so if you are Tokyo’s boys in blue.

We are still not sure how or why the police pounced on the couple — a tip off from someone? — but apparently they had grounds to suspect former KAT-TUN singer Junnosuke Taguchi (33) and his girlfriend, former actress Rena Komine (38), of drug offenses. Officers raided the home they shared in Tokyo and found evidence of possession of marijuana, which is banned in Japan.

Komine has already retired from acting, it seems, and established herself as the head of an entertainment agency (jimusho). Since she is working “backstage,” so to speak, she may be able to salvage some kind of career after she is released, though we presume Taguchi’s acting roles and, more importantly, any possibility of lucrative advertising appearance fees, are gone the way of the dodo.

Netizens scrambled to remind themselves just who Komine was and quickly turned up a nude scene she did back in 2006 for the Japanese movie Hatsukoi (First Love), which starred Aoi Miyazaki in the lead role. Her other credits include the tamer Kamen Rider.

We did a little research ourselves and found these semi-nude photo shoots she did in happier times.

It’s one of the lesser known yet particularly problematic aspects of Japan’s idol industry and it has found itself in the spotlight once again.

A recent tweet by Umiuminemui has ignited something of a social media storm, with tens of thousands of retweets and likes in reaction to her indignation over a chidol or junior event in which underage girls (apparently preteens) are put on show for older men to touch and hug.

One minute of shaking hands with and talking to your tweenager idol costs you ¥3,000.

In the pictures, grown men are shown holding, leaning over, and playing Twister with young girls who are not just legal minors — they are children.

Umiuminemui also notes her shock and distaste that the young girls’ parents would allow them to be subjected to this kind of behavior.

In the face of increasing media outrage, especially overseas, the junior idol industry is suffering as retailers like DMM stop selling its content.

However, it should be noted that the members of major idol groups like AKB48 and its spin-offs often first join when they are still underage, legally speaking, and the performers are presented in music videos and photo shoots in ways that sexualize them while nonetheless retaining their adolescent look. The line between “junior idol” and regular “idol” is decidedly blurry.

Certain junior idols have graduated to more mainstream careers as adults in singing or gravure modeling, not least Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, who used to be known as child idol Kiriko Takemura. Others move into full-on adult video.

The latest porn release (HND00655) by former NMB48 idol Miko Matsuda (originally known as Risako Okada) is an apparently shameless parody of the Maho Yamaguchi incident.

As was later widely reported, Yamaguchi was sexually assaulted by two fans in December 2018 after her address was inadvertently given to the stalkers by another member of the group. Exposing the exploitative conditions under which idols labor, the management did not acknowledge what had happened until Yamaguchi herself went public. “Mahohon,” as she is popular known, first had to issue an apology for the “trouble” she caused, though later quit and the group management was restructured. It ignited a media storm both in Japan and internationally, and was one of the biggest scandals to hit the AKB/AKS empire since Minami Minegishi shaved her head to atone for the crime of having sex.

Making her adult debut in 2017 and just one of several former AKB group idols who has gone on to work in AV, Miko Matsuda’s new porn came out from Honnaka in late April.

Many were quick to point out the similarities to the scenario it depicts with the Maho Yamaguchi incident.

The parody in and of itself is not so surprising, given that Japanese porn has a rich tradition of lampoon. But that Matsuda would agree to appear in such a setting is a little unexpected, considering you might think she would be very sympathetic to what happened to Yamaguchi rather than keen to exploit it for commercial gain.

Or are we missing a further layer of irony to this?

We’ve always had a soft spot for the slinky, sultry gravure model and actress Moemi Katayama.

After some years in gravure, the 28-year-old with a G-cup is establishing her acting career as she enters her thirties and the jukujo phase of her life. Nonetheless, this didn’t stop her from doing a nude photo book a while back.

Even better, though, is the nude sex scene she did in Fumiko’s Feet (2018). You get a lingering look at her drooping breasts and she is inevitably asked to ride cowgirl on her male partner so the viewer doesn’t miss a glimpse.

The film itself is, as the title suggests, a strange erotic one about foot fetish, where a young man and old man both lust after Katayama’s character’s especially long and slender pins.

This seems to be a pattern for gravure models who try their hand at acting, only to be given roles that require them to shed their clothes. Anna Konno, for example, had an awesome nude scene in Ah! Wilderness, as did Yurina Yanagi in Junpei, Think Again.

Katayama’s other credits include roles in the award-winning film Shoplifters and the current NHK TV drama series Idaten.

Our latest uraaka joshi nude selfie goddess is certainly not shy. Far from it, the 24-year-old Japanese lady has posted full images of her face online as well as nude selfies in the bath or in bed.

Best of all, perhaps, is the shot of her with a used condom in her mouth.

And then there are the explicit hamedori videos, apparently showing her having sex with a partner or using a massager vibrator. We cannot see her face clearly in the videos, so it’s very possible it is someone else.

This blowjob video, at least, clearly shows her (satisfied) face — for which we are eternally grateful.

The pale-skinned beauty has been identified as @emuchuu211. While she doesn’t post much actual nudity, she more than makes up for by sharing her face.

It’s an open secret that “compensated dating” (援助交際, enjo kosai) goes on in the Japanese idol world and among even mainstream entertainers and celebrities.

Just as the casting couch exists, so too does the dating table. Idols don’t earn that much money and their careers are fickle, so they boost their income with dates.

There doesn’t always sex involved, it should be added, but it’s surely not impossible. It’s like a hostess “douhan” date (where the hostess accompanies you for dining before going to the club together) or services offered by “dating clubs” (交際クラブ, kosai kurabu), where the women expect some kind of compensation for their time.

Sometimes this gets exposed. The porn star Yuria Satomi found herself in trouble with the tax bureau due to ¥200 million in undeclared income over several years, apparently accrued from “boyfriends” who were paying her. The gravure idol Shoko Takasaki was caught receiving money for a date that ended with a trip to a love hotel. It was only shocking because it got into the press. She rode the wave of the scandal all the way to become Shoko Takahashi, now one of the top adult video stars in Japan.

A Japanese TV show once shared some industry estimates for how much a dinner date costs with certain idols.

The names were only represented by initials (in Japanese name order), but these in combination with the descriptions are enough to give the game away.

SA (entertainer who made AV debut, Anri Sakaguchi): ¥200,000
TN (idol who caused trouble by marrying and divorcing, maybe Nana Tanimura): ¥500,000
IM (former Olympic athlete Mero Imai): ¥150,000
KA (former female announcer, perhaps Asami Konno or Ayako Kato): ¥1.2 million
MY (gravure idol famous for plastic surgery Yuuri Morishita): ¥300,000
AK (“pure”-type actress, Kasumi Arimura): ¥1 million
HS (loli-type gravure idol, Shoko Hamada): ¥250,000
MM (member of nationally famous idol group, Minami Minegishi): ¥400,000
K (gorgeous sisters, Kano Sisters): ¥2 million
ON (“healing”-type celebrity, Nonoka Ono): ¥1 million
AK (super popular AV star, Kirara Asuka): ¥2 million
WN (chubby entertainer, Naomi Watanabe): ¥200,000
YY (talented actress who took her clothes off long go, Yuriko Yoshitaka): ¥1 million
IM (“orthodox”-type beautiful actress, maybe Misaki Ito or Mao Inoue or Mio Imada): ¥250,000

The prices seem a little low for, say, Watanabe, considering what a big (no pun) star she is, but maybe paying for a date with her is a little different to paying her to endorse your brand in an advertising campaign. Besides, perhaps the fee is lower because the cost of the food consumed will be disproportionately higher when she’s ordering!

You know your adult toys are good when even your box art is so popular it merits a book.

Tama Toys is not only one of Japan’s most successful sex toy brands, it has inspired its own kind of subculture or fandom thanks to its use of hentai illustrations for its box artwork. The maker hires some of the best adult illustrators in Japan to produce the characters and images that adorn those awesome onaholes, lubes, otoko no ko costumes, and hug pillow covers.

One of the most popular illustrators is Yukinon and Tama Toys is obviously very pleased with his contributions — so much so that they produced this Tama Toys Yukinon Adult Fetish Artwork Book.

With a total of 158 pieces, this artwork collection guarantees hours and hours of viewing pleasure and inspiration to your fantasies…

Unfortunately there are no preview images available — a rather foolish move on the park of the Tama Toys marketing team — but we had a peek inside and can assure you the pages contain a world of treasures.

Tama Toys Yukinon Adult Fetish Artwork Book is available now from our friends at Kanojo Toys.

Of course, Tama Toys fans will already know that this isn’t the brand’s first foray into publishing.

Last year there was the Tama Toys Erotic Art Adult Illustrations Book, featuring 493 illustrations by 78 artists.

Covering eight years of amazing adult art across 248 pages, it is an amazing tribute to the Tama Toys mascot Super Tama Musume and other characters.

Having published a nude photo book last year, gravure idol Yumi Asahina (朝比奈祐未) may not have many places to go except adult video or establishing herself as a mainstream actress.

Regardless of her future, she has one amazing asset: her ass.

This is a butt that can look pert and tight in one shot, and then curved and round from a different angle.

That’s the kind of versatility we love and need in our lives, and it’s why we are crowning Yumi Asahina Ass of the Moment. Quite an achievement, considering what a competitive field it is.

Kyoko Fukada may well have hit 36 and firmly entered jukujo territory, but she still looks athletic, toned, and “pure” as she did ten years ago. The unmarried model and actress seems determined, like Haruka Ayase and Yu Aoi, to stay young forever.

Her most recent gravure shoot is a perfectly summery one — complete with beach, sand, and bikinis.

We get to glimpse Kyoko’s butt crack and her slender yet healthy-looking body. Seriously, she has barely aged since those awesome lingerie and swimwear shoots she did years ago. What an absolute legend.

The most recent Japanese nude selfie practitioner to catch our eye is this amateur, who might just have the most amazing body ever.

From her large yet not insane bust and pert nipples to that hourglass waist and curved butt, this young Japanese lady has everything you could ever want. And don’t even get us started about those lips…

She’s fully paipan downstairs, though stops short of sharing close-ups of her pussy. Even so, what she does reveal is pure heaven — especially when it is accentuated by stylish lingerie like this.

Mayu (@may1380u) is apparently a 27-year-old office lady (OL), if her Twitter profile is to be believed. She has also posted some videos of her soaping her breasts and penetrating herself with a cock dildo.

If this woman isn’t doing AV yet, then there’s no justice in this world!

#MeToo has yet to make inroads in Japan, despite a few scandals and efforts by feminist campaigners. In that respect, South Korean women are doing a better job at raising awareness of such problems as sexual abuse in the entertainment industry and secret recording of women in public toilets.

A new campaign has launched, though, which shines a light on a different aspect of Japanese women’s plight: high heels. Dubbed #KuToo (a play on the Japanese word for shoes, kutsu, and pain, kutsuu), the campaign calls on employers to stop enforcing dress codes that require female workers to wear uncomfortable shoes during shifts.

After submitting its petition, which got over 25,000 signatures, to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the campaign has garnered international attention but a quick putdown by the government.

“It’s generally accepted by society that (wearing high heels) is necessary and reasonable in workplaces,” said Health, Labor and Welfare Minister Takumi Nemoto during a Diet committee session on Wednesday. Needless to say this was announced with a straight face by the male official — someone who has never had to wear heels all day at the office.

Incidentally, Japan ranked 110th out of 149 nations in the latest World Economic Forum ranking on gender equality.

What has attracted less attention about the campaign is the background of the person behind it — 32-year-old Yumi Ishikawa (石川優実). Described in some media reports as an “actress and writer,” she is in fact a gravure idol known for her sexy shoots. In fact, she’s gone further than gravure and did fully nude shoots in 2014 and 2015. She also did a nude sex scene in a film called Woman’s Holes.

We don’t point this out in a spurious attempt to discredit Ishikawa’s campaign, but rather because we think it’s great that gravure idols can also pursue feminist agendas.

As we know, the casting couch is rampant in the Japanese entertainment industry, as is sexual abuse or harassment of models and idols, and coercion of adult video performers. To ensure a healthy industry for all, fans and workers alike, we need far more people like Yumi Ishikawa.

A few years ago we reported on the Brassiere Eye Mask, an item that was just like its name suggested — a mini bra for wearing over your eyes. Even earlier there was the “Kaopan” photography series of schoolgirls with “face panties.” And the trend spaned a cult movie called Hentai Kamen, about a man who battles crime with a pair of panties over his face and sporting a mankini.

Well, this fetish shows no signs of abating any time soon.

Now you can continue to explore this unique fetish with the Sporty Head Panties.

Available now from our friends at Kanojo Toys, this item will transform the way you view an ordinary pair of panties.

Not only does this set transport the underwear to your face, it does so in the style of a wrestling mask! So now you can take down opponents in the bedroom ring like a wrestler as you enjoy indulging in this kinky pleasure.

Whether you want to wear them yourself or put them on a doll or partner, panties will never be the same again once you’ve tried this fetish. For even better results, try the next level — used panties on your face!

One of this blog’s ongoing obsessions is the open secret in the Japanese idol world, be it gravure, music, porn, or general tarento and celebrities: the casting couch.

And it really is rampant, it seems, in almost all corners of the industry. Even among seiyu/seiyuu (voice actresses).

The “sexy actress” (a euphemism for porn star used by the mainstream media) Cocona Yuzuki recently shared some of these secrets on television.

A former chika (underground) idol, seiyuu, and now adult video star, Cocona (or Kokona) Yuzuki appeared on a late-night TV Tokyo show on June 6th.

She explained that if you are an “ex-entertainer” making your debut in porn, your fee per video release may be as high as ¥800,000, whereas an amateur making her debut may only get ¥200-300,000.

It works both ways. Many porn stars, major and minor, are also working in the sex industry. This gives them extra cash and the club will love it, too, because they can charge patrons more. An hour with a regular lady might be just ¥8,000, but if she is listed as a “porn star” the fee can jump to ¥40,000.

Yuzuki also confessed to having worked at a “kosai club” (交際クラブ) or dating club, which are part of the sex industry but a bit more high-end (kind of like “enjo kosai” compensated dating). You will pay for “dates” and it’s not always clear how things will go after the food and drinks are done. Again, though, it seems that certain well-known idols are earning extra cash from such work, which can net you as much as ¥200,000 for a single dinner date if you are famous. We recently wrote up a post with estimates for how much a date with a star would cost.

She also claimed that the seiyuu industry is actually the “darkest” in terms of makura eigo (casting couch or sleeping with people voluntarily to get ahead) practices.

Yuzuki is an intriguingly complex figure, since she has been vocal in the past about coercion and abuse among idols, but still made the decision to expand her own multi-hyphenated career into porn in 2019.

It’s rainy season here in Tokyo, which means heavy showers almost every day. What better excuse to stay indoors watching AV, testing out adult toys, and searching for Tokyo Kinky stories?

Doing just that, we came across this great vintage image of a late 1960s model showing off not only some great wear for the rainy season but also her cute nipples. Fashionable tits indeed.

Underneath her white shirt she is clearly sans bra and her great breasts are poking through the fabric. Now if only there were ladies actually like this on the streets of Tokyo, we would certainly venture out not matter how inclement the weather. Or maybe there are and we haven’t been looking in the right places? If so, edify us in the comments!

We might well be already several weeks into the Reiwa era, but we reckon it’s time to turn back the clock and head back into the Showa years.

Look out for more trips in the time machine, coming soon!

Only a small handful of former idols from AKB48 or its bevy of sister groups have managed to establish themselves in gravure, acting, or general entertainment, though a fair few have also branched out into porn instead.

Whatever they do or don’t do, it’s hard to argue that their appeal isn’t based on their looks. And if you’ve got it, flaunt it.

One recent Japanese TV show certainly seems to call a spade a spade in this regard.

It got together former AKB48 idols for what was essentially an excuse to make them show off their busts and bodies for the camera.

The three top ladies — Natsuki Kojima, Natsumi Hirajima, and Mariya Nagao — were asked to stretch and lie in various fitness postures on the grass while they were measured.

Here is Natsuki Kojima.

And Natsumi Hirajima.

And finally, Mariya Nagao.

Clearly the more voluptuous Natsumi Hirajima is the winner in the bust contest, though Nagao is probably the most alluringly athletic of the ladies — and who we suspect would be the most energetic in the sack. Can we have a contest for that?

The TV show was London Hearts on TV Asahi and the episode (～もう一花咲かせたい！～　元AKB48だらけの非公認運動会) was broadcast on June 11th. The “unofficial sports day” featured 25 ex-AKB48 babes.

Can we make this part of the Olympics in 2020?

We don’t seem to see enough of slinky gravure idol Saki Suzuki these days. Her gravure career might well have lost some of its luster of late but her recent appearance in a TV drama episode has more than made up for her absence from the pages of the weekly magazines.

In the most recent episode of Iyasaretai Otoko (Man Who Wants to be Healed) on TV Tokyo, a male character stumbles upon Suzuki’s characters on all fours.

Perhaps for reasons that don’t need explaining, he immediately hallucinates her scrubbing the floor in her underwear.

The grimmer reality is that Suzuki’s character is a dourly dressed cleaning lady.

Subtle, this ain’t, as the lingering closeups of Suzuki’s buttocks attest. Still, this is a Japanese TV drama, so what do you expect?

Regardless of the quality of television on display here, that’s what we call a healing experience to get rid of our day-to-day stresses. Saki can come clean our office any time she wants!

A few weeks ago, Japanese netizens were fascinated by the bloody and cautionary tale of “too cute” Yuka Takaoka, who was arrested for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend with a kitchen knife in Shinjuku.

The latest gruesome episode of romance gone very badly wrong is interesting to us at Tokyo Kinky because of who the alleged perpetrator is.

Kazuko Iwamoto (岩本和子) was arrested for apparently attacking her married lover with a utility knife in the resort town of Atami, west of Tokyo.

The 43-year-old Iwamoto was reportedly incensed when she found that her male lover was in fact married. The attack happened in May but has only now appeared in the news. Apparently Iwamoto chased her younger lover from a Shinkansen train platform and up the stairs to the ticket gates, where she then slashed his right cheek.

The stunning jukujo is a mature idol who posed for “hair nude” (full-frontal) photo shoots published in April 2019 and in 2018. She shot to fame in 2012 when she won a “beauty witch” contest, and has since released various nude “image DVD” and photo books.

Apparently Iwamoto posted a scan of a foetus on her social media account three days prior to the incident, indicating that she is pregnant. But according to Shukan Bunshun, which has broken the story, the man, who is nine years younger, gave no response when she told him and she then started to suspect that he was actually married to someone else. When they met at Atami Station, he finally admitted the truth and her reaction was angry, to say the least.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! If you’re going to jilt someone, don’t make it someone like Iwamoto!

Iwamoto has just completed her first starring role in a feature film.

Oh, Japan and its parodic adult toys. Always a new trick up their sleeves.

The lawyers might be rubbing their hands with glee after this one has come out on the market, but for now we are loving the novelty of its design as well as, of course, the awesome masturbation stimulation it provides.

We mean this Mista’s Sex Piston Bizarre Cup, a barely disguised parody of the anime and manga franchise JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. How do they get away with this sort of stuff?

Regardless of the legal loopholes at play here, we love it.

You can become an ally of the Joestar family and use the secret powers of Guido Mista’s stand when you masturbate with this onacup. Inspired by Jojo’s army of little helpers, the Sex Pistols, there are six supernatural warriors to choose from: No. 1 (Universal Leader), No. 2 (Tricky Trickster), No. 3 (Rampage Bully), No. 5 (Timid Wimp), No. 6 (Cool Enthusiast), No. 7 (Sub-Leader), or a set of all six types. (If you are confused by the numbering, it deliberately leaves out a fourth toy because four is generally considered bad luck in Japan due to sounding like the word for death. And you don’t want death hanging around when you masturbate.)

Unlike their counterparts on screen, these masturbators are designed exclusively for your personal pleasure rather than fighting evil forces.

Each of the toys comes with its own varying stimulations that can be seen in the different outer labia design and the insides packed full of pleasuring curves and ribs.

Mista’s Sex Piston Bizarre Cup is available now from Kanojo Toys, your one-stop online store for everything sexual and kinky about Japan. Hurry, before the inevitable lawsuit takes it off the market!

This gorgeous Japanese lady is apparently an office lady who loves to post nude selfies. Whether or not she is actually an OL is a moot point. The really important fact is that she clearly loves penetrating herself with dildos.

She matches hr paipan pussy (though sometimes with a neat tuft of pubic hair) with sweet pale skin, round breasts, and a tender face. Best of all, though, is that she loves sticking dildos up her tight pussy.

Our brief online research suggests that the lady in question used to be 白湯 (@LikWCsaf31AJoLA), but switched accounts to @sayu_oo1, though this no longer seems to exist on Twitter at any rate. Did we miss the boat on this one?

For videos of this mysterious OL showing off what she looks like with her dildos, check out Minkch.com.
