Kyoko Hinami’s nude scene in The Forest of Love: Deep Cut
March 18, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Kyoko Hinami (日南響子) really should be more famous than she is.
We hope to make a small contribution to fixing this injustice by showcasing her nude scene from the Sion Sono film The Forest of Love: Deep Cut, the seven-episode miniseries that is an extended version of The Forest of Love. Both were released on Netflix in late 2019.
In the scene, Hinami is nude except for panties, and her slim body and attractive breasts are on full display.
By Sono's standards, which we have introduced before, it's relatively tame but we certainly aren't complaining.
The slinky actress and gravure ...
On the cusp of 30, Yuki Kashiwagi still looks great in latest cover shoot
March 17, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
What ever happened to those original major AKB48 stars after they left the group and got older?
Most have disappeared from the limelight. Some have got married and started families. A select few like Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima have switched into "serious" acting.
For Yuki Kashiwagi, there are still offers for major gravure shoots. She recently graced that cover of Young Jump and a generous 12-page spread inside.
This is impressive considering she is about to turn 30, which basically places her in jukujo MILF territory by the dubious standards of the gravure industry. Most of her peers ...
I-cup gravure idol Ruu Yumemi to make porn debut after sex tape scandal
March 16, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
The serried ranks of adult video are filled with new debuts, most of which disappear without much trace. Rarer are the high-profile gradols (gravure idols) and music idols who make the crossover. (There are more common porn debuts by lesser-known idols whose names are unlikely to raise an eyebrow.)
The most successful example of late has been Kaoru Yasui, whose new career is picking up some steam.
Now comes the porn debut of Ruu Yumemi (夢見るぅ), an I-cup busty gradol, with Moodyz.
Interestingly, she is doing it under her original geimei (performer name) -- not adopting a new one for ...
This is what porn star Minami Aizawa looked like in school and college
March 15, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Minami Aizawa (相沢みなみ) is one of the most popular porn stars in Japan, having releasing dozens of AV titles and inspired many onaholes, lubes, and other adult toys.
After spending her early childhood living in America, the 24-year-old D-cup stunner went to school in Japan and made her debut in 2016. We know what she looks like now.
But what about a few years ago?
On the YouTube channel of Japanese comedian Egashira 2:50, Aizawa was recently interviewed and shared photos from when she was an elementary school student.
The video went online about a week ago and already ...
Nonno Satake, member of Rino Sashihara idol group, caught doing compensated dating
March 11, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
The casting couch is one of the open secrets of the idol industry. Another one is the extra money that idols (music, gravure, AV), seiyu, models, and actors earn from compensated dating.
This gets exposed at regular intervals by tabloid scoops. One such scandal caused Shoko Takahashi to lose her agency as a gradol (when she worked as Shoko Takasaki) and launched her porn career.
The JAV star Yuria Satomi had trouble with the tax agency in 2016 over huge amounts of undeclared income from her "boyfriends," who compensated her financially for their relationship.
The latest scandal was broken ...
Recent porn debutant Kaoru Yasui to continue JAV career with release from S1 No. 1 Style
March 10, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
The biggest porn debut of the year so far, Kaoru Yasui's first release will thankfully not be a one-off.
Yasui made a splash with her adult video debut in February via Muteki, which specializes in crossover debuts. A former gravure idol and known for her large H-cup breasts, Yasui will continue her porn career with further releases from another studio, S1 No. 1 Style, one of the biggest names in JAV. (Muteki and S1 No. 1 Style are technically part of the same corporate group -- most things in the JAV industry are interconnected!)
Coming in at an impressive 170 minutes, Kaoru's next ...
Former gravure idol Chisato Morishita hopes to become hottest politician in Japan
March 9, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
What can gravure idols do after their careers dry up? We have chronicled many intriguing responses to this classic conundrum. But how about becoming a politician?
That's what the one-time gradol and tarento Chisato Morishita is apparently trying to do.
Originally a race queen, Morishita was a big star in the gravure world and a fairly regular face on TV in the 2000s, winning popularity in bikini shoots that accentuated her slinky body and F-cup bust. After several photo books, however, her career stalled as she entered her thirties. She instead started teaching golf and published a novel in ...
Top porn star Yua Mikami launches apparel brand
March 5, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Yua Mikami, one of the top porn stars, has launched her own apparel brand.
Though there are a few notable cases of porn stars forging interesting second careers after they leave the adult industry, it is relatively rare for actresses to maintain a successful second job while still acting in porn releases (though many porn stars do make occasional appearances in movies and TV series, almost always in "sexy" roles).
Mikami is one of the most prominent examples of an idol switching from a more mainstream area (in her case, as a music idol with SKE48) to porn, and not losing steam after just a ...
What are your favorite Japanese gravure idol poses?
March 4, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Gradol (gravure idol) shoots have a certain kind of culture. The locations gradually start to feel familiar and the way the models pose is also often repeated.
In this post, we bring together a few typical poses.
We start with the raised-arm pose, where the armpit(s) are exposed along with the neck and chest area. This hints at what the gradol looks like when pressed down on a bed or up against a wall.
The sideways-on-all-fours pose has obvious appeal: you get to see what she looks like when poised for doing it doggy. A common variation of this pose is from behind -- again, with ...
Busty model Kana Koizumi posts new topless video
February 25, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
So it wasn't an error and it wasn't a one-off.
When we reported last week on Kana Koizumi's bold career move, shortly after she left her agency, to take her top off and show off her incredible breasts in a video she posted to Twitter, we knew that she had attracted a lot of buzz for it.
Clearly it was encouraging to her, so much so that she did again.
Now Kana Koizumi (小泉かな) has posed in a very sexy video posted late on February 23, which was "cat day" in Japan. She wears fluffy cat ears (nekomimi) and all-in-one lingerie. She pulls down her teddy to show us those incredible, ...
