Osada Steve is all over the print media with articles and pictures coming out this month in both S & M Sniper and Mania Club magazines. Steve also has a fetish magazine of his own although it’s actually smaller than a digest-sized mag. It’s called Fetish Japan and it has reports on bondage and other fetish-related activities in Japan as well as ads and, well, you get the picture.

Now, there is apparently an interview with master Nureki Chimuo conducted by Steve in Mania Club magazine. Don’t get your hopes up, but I’m going to try to get my hands on this interview and, if possible, post it here. Now, it’s all in Japanese so this is going to be tricky. Also, the mag may have the exclusive rights. I’ll do my best and let you know what happens.

If all else fails, just take a quick course in Japanese (you’ll probably have to learn a few thousand kanji characters) and order the magazine, I guess.

When I’m editing a video, I’m not always sure what site it’s destined for, so when I post the preview pics here the watermark of the site doesn’t always appear.  Those last couple I edited, Miyuki-chan and the London shows, I believe will be on Kinbaku.tv although I think Steve is still getting that site ready.

The other sites I mainly edit for are Asanawa.com and JapanBondage.tv. You can find the latest Randa Mai show on the latter site. The stock market may have crashed in China but your cock will definitely be up watching any of these vids.

Now for the latest gallery of random pics. Some of these are from S & M Sniper which hits the stands next week.

This is one of the roughest of Steve’s videos I’ve edited so far. Miyuki just loves to be pushed around, kicked, slapped and generally dominated.

It should go without saying, but let me state it here so there’s no confusion in the future: There’s a difference between being kicked and slapped by just anyone and being kicked and slapped by a seasoned professional. In the first case, you wind up with scratches and bruises and maybe a trip to the ER. In the latter, you get a fine movie worthy of two cocks up and afterwards everyone goes out and parties.

Now that I’ve got that out of the way, I will mention that Steve also made liberal use of every whip he owned at the time this video was shot. Miyuki, wrists bound overhead, dances to the tune of the crack of the cat, the single-tailed snake and even the bullwhip.

You will also see Miyuki lactating during the course of the video. I have only seen this happen with one other model. When Steve realized what was going on, milk was soon shooting all over the dojo.

If you pay attention, you will also see that Miyuki has a swastika carved into the flesh of her belly. This, I heard, is courtesy of the bitches over at Jail Tokyo (or was it Jail Roppongi?). She has an even bigger one carved into her back. I’m not sure if she received these two mementos at the same time.

No word on whether these symbols represent her devotion to a particular theological aesthetic or if they have a somewhat more nefarious connotation. Whatever the answer, this video leaves few questions in the mind of the viewer. All is revealed in this honest portrayal of a young girl willingly submitting body and soul to the designs of her master.

It’s a dirty job but somebody’s gotta do it!

I’m currently editing a series of shows Steve put on in London with Asagi Ageha during their most recent trip to Europe. Normally, I cut things down a bit. I tend, for example, to cut out most of the un-tying stuff. But this first show had a very nice flow. It reminded me of the Randa Mai show I recently edited. As a result, there’s going to be one, long video here.

Well, to watch these things you’re going to need a good broadband connection anyway and I think Steve’s got these vids on a pretty good streaming server so, hopefully, it won’t be a problem for most people.

After the first show, Ageha put on her self-bondage act. This one’s a little shorter but, once again, I let it run from beginning to end without any edits.

The location of these shows was interesting. I wasn’t there in London with them so I can only go by what I’m seeing in the video. The place looks like a warehouse. In fact, it sounds like a warehouse. Judging from the enthusiastic and sustained applause at the end of the shows, there must have been quite a few people in attendance.

The way things are going these days, I was a little surprised Ageha was allowed to appear topless. I kind of expected to see that ridiculous black tape crossing her nipples. Then again, maybe they were just pushing the envelope a bit.

I’m not sure if this was the same trip, but somewhere along the line Steve and Ageha did some outside bondage in France with the Eiffel tower as a backdrop. I’ll have to look around here and see if I have that tape to edit.

In the meantime, here are some vid captures of the action in London:

I’ve got a lot of photos on my harddrive so I figured it was about time I did something with them. The pics in this gallery were taken at various Kinbaku Live Night sessions at Studio SIX and they’re pretty much in random order. I don’t anticipate any complaints, though.

I’ve been experimenting with different photo gallery software. The one I’m currently using came with a graphics program I’ve had for a few years now. I’m not sure I’m entirely happy with it (thus the experimentation) but it seems to get the job done — for now at least.

I did try one other program but when it came to uploading the whole thing to the server from within the program itself — no go. I then tried doing it the old fashioned way, but there were so many files, I wasn’t sure how many of them actually needed to be uploaded and I didn’t have time for trial and error.

So, for the time being, I’ll stick with what I’ve got.

On a different note, it came to my attention that I still have Part II of the Osada Steve interview which has yet to be published. If you liked Part I, you won’t be disappointed by the second installment of this fascinating interview. That’s set to go online sometime around the first part of March so keep an eye out for it.

I think I’m losing my marbles. I downloaded the photos for the gallery of the most recent Kinbaku Live Night at Studio SIX to my laptop. Then I promptly forgot about them. Then I complained that I didn’t have any pics. Then I realized that I had the photos all along, just on the wrong computer.

All is well now and the most recent gallery is up, so have a look.

Studio SIX was graced with the presence of the incomparable Asagi Ageha. In addition to being Steve’s Numero Uno, she also has Read more »

All right, then. This one’s in the can.

This Yuuki shoot at Studio SIX resulted in four separate videos for a total of nearly one hour of sexy, seductive bondage.

It looks like this vid will be destined for Kinbaku.tv and it should be a crowd pleaser. I think anything Yuuki appears in will be a favorite with fans of Shibari and the Osada Steve style.

Here are a few more pics from the Web-ready version of this particular shoot. These are vidcaps so the quality leaves something to be desired. As a result, I left them at their original size so they aren’t very big, either.

Still, as my mama used to say: ”Better than a sharp poke in the eye!”

I’m currently editing a Studio SIX show which features Yuuki as the model. Yuuki is a very pretty and petite young girl who is as flexible as a gymnast. She especially loves to be tied up as tightly as possible into a little ball. And Steve grants her request in this tremendous show.

Yuuki also appears in some of the photos in the gallery I posted earlier about the Hogtied and Waterbondage shoots. You will know it’s Yuuki by her incredible flexibility. She seems to be made out of rubber!

I almost had to cut out an entire segment of Yuuki’s performance which would have been a shame since it was an incredible display of Shibari and endurance. The reason? There was some music playing in the background on Steve’s stereo. We have had to forego some material in the past because of copyright concerns.

But this time I just couldn’t let this footage end up on the cutting room floor. So, with some digital hocus pocus, we now have a new soundtrack, so to speak, and the music is no more.

Here are some photos to whet your appetite for the videos to come. These are only from the last one or two segments. There are actually four videos in all.

I guess it was just a matter of time before one of Japan’s premiere bondage models, Asagi Ageha, met up with one of Japan’s premiere Nawashi, master Nureki Chimuo.

I have been a fan of Nureki sensei for, oh, twenty years or so. I have thought of him as the godfather of Japanese bondage. Osada Steve has referred to him as the granddaddy of Japanese bondage. Either way, he has been around for a long time and his technique has certainly inspired a large number of fans of nawa shibari both here and abroad.

I am including with this report a gallery of recently-obtained photos of a session between Ageha and master Nureki. You will notice that, under some circumstances, it is okay to wear your shoes inside the house in Japan!

Whenever possible, I’ll open the bamboo curtain and let you know what’s happening behind the scenes of the SM world in Japan.

Awhile ago I received a ton of pics from Osada Steve which were taken by a crew that came over to Japan last year to shoot material for Hogtied and Water Bondage.

Steve secured the appropriate facilities for these shoots and I’m including a gallery here of several of the photos which were taken at that time. The photos and videos were subsequently published on the aforementioned U.S. Websites.

One of the facilities used was an old Japanese-style house situated in a non-descript, residential neighborhood in Tokyo which is often rented out to movie companies. Steve took me by this place once and it really is quite impressive. Tatami mats and lots of wood beams and posts throughout. In short, an ideal location for shooting a Japanese SM flick. I’m sure I saw this house used in a Randa Mai video.

Another place came equipped with a swimming pool and Japanese-style bath — perfect for dunking the girls and spraying them with water.

The Hogtied crew came equipped with two professional high definition cameras and a plethora of bondage/fetish equipment such as dildos, nipple clamps, stocks, etc. I’ve been a little curious about the reactions of the customs people at the airport upon seeing all this gear.

Besides the obligatory SM shoots, the crew also conducted some very interesting interviews with Osada Steve and the models.

Enjoy the gallery and stay tuned for more behind the scenes action.

I just got back in town on Friday. Several hours on the plane and another couple of hours on the limousine bus getting home from the airport and I needed a few days to recuperate.

The traffic going through the center of Tokyo was a real bitch. It doesn’t help that there are only two lanes on the so-called expressway. Next time I think I’ll take the train.

Fortunately, I got hold of two reports from Thomas about the goings-ons at Studio SIX while I was away. I hope he doesn’t mind if I quote him extensively here.

But before I forget, I put up a gallery of some of the photos taken at these two events so have a look.

Kiku-chan was on hand and, according to Thomas, she didn’t have her boyfriend along this time, the one who looks like “the fifth Beatle.”

Steve started out with some newaza, combined with some humiliating pushes and kicks to get her into the right mood. Read more »
