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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
For better or for worse, it's a tried-and-tested formula: if you wanna sell, get your tits out.
Well, gravure idol Kana Koizumi (小泉かな) took this literally, it seems.
This happened last week but only came onto our radars now after it already went viral.
The gradol decided to post a tweet on February 11 promoting her latest image video, "Glamorous Body." Like most such DVDs released by gravure models, the content is raunchy but stops just short of actual nudity.
Not so with the tweet, however.
For no obvious reason, Koizumi accompanied her tweet of the Amazon links with a short ...
We are currently enjoying the delights of 21-year-old G-cup porn goddess Rika Tsubaki (椿りか).
Naturally, we are doing this courtesy of videos we find online and DVDs we can rent from the good folks at Tsutaya, whose adult section at the Shinjuku-Kabukicho store is superb.
But we want more than our eyes and hand can give.
For those times, we reach for the Muriyari Gokubuto Rika Tsubaki Mouth Onahole, a new toy from A-One and available globally via our trusty friends at Kanojo Toys.
Correct us if we're wrong, but we think this is Rika Tsubaki's first official collaboration adult ...
