Despite switching names on multiple occasions, Rara Anzai (aka Rion, aka Shion Utsunomiya) remains one of the most popular adult video stars in Japan.
She matches an angelic face with a stunning J-cup bust.
But porn stars are not always what they seem: cup sizes are sometimes inaccurate or volatile. And naturally, a woman's body changes over the course of her life.
Have Rara's breasts always been the same?
An unidentified netizen and JAV fan has decided to investigate this important question.
He or she (all right, it's surely a "he") came up with this montage of Rara Anzai in action in ...
A video has leaked online allegedly showing the popular actress and model Elaiza Ikeda having sex with a male partner.
In the video, a woman who looks like Ikeda is shown riding an unknown man in the cowgirl position while panting audibly. Her face and hair are certainly similar in appearance to Ikeda and she also has large breasts (Ikeda is famously busty). However, some have pointed out that the woman does not have the same mole on her left shoulder that Ikeda has.
The footage is shot hamedori-style by the man as he enjoys the bareback action. Lasting just over a minute, it ends with the ...
Ayaka Miyoshi is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful actresses and models popular in Japan right now but, with some exceptions, she is rarely seen in overtly sensual or sexy shoots. For the most part, she keeps her clothes on and has settled for a more mainstream appeal.
That has all changed with her jaw-dropping appearance in the September 9 issue of Anan, confirming the magazine's reputation for enhancing models' careers with provocative shoots.
The shoot puts to shame the spreads you find in the tabloids and even gravure magazines like Weekly Playboy. It's what you might expect an AV ...
The former AKB48 idol Kira Takahashi (高橋希来) has stripped naked for her first photo book, Twinkle, which comes out locally on September 10. That said, it is not, strictly speaking, a nude photo book, since the naked Takahashi still just about manages to protect her modesty.
She is wearing panties and her breasts are tucked up, squeezed yet hidden by her knees. We get plenty of side book, though.
It's now September and, while humid, Tokyo is arriving at typhoon season. Nonetheless, the photo book brings a splash of late summer, complete with shots of the 19-year-old poolside in wet ...
Detailed detective work on the part of Japanese netizens have identified newbie porn star Sora Minamino (南乃そら) as Miyako Torase (虎瀬美也子), a former member of idol group Oyasumi Sekai.
Torase was active in Oyasumi Sekai from November 2018 to April 2019. If the netizens are right, it would seem that she struggled to find a post-idol career or otherwise specifically chose to enter AV with the right offer.
Sora Minamino released her first adult video title on September 1 with a splashy 149-minute feature (MIDE-812) from Moodyz.
The video, which nominally follows ...
Probably the most famous and successful cosplayer in Japan right now, Enako is no stranger to provocative photo shoots. Heck, did you see her as a semi-nude mermaid?
But did she inadvertently reveal more than she and her managers intended in a recent photo shoot?
That's what netizens are hoping and speculating about in their customary frenzy. Cue lots of zooming-in and squinting at screens.
The suggestion is that in this photo, Enako's left nipple (or at least, the areola) is visible. The image was described as a behind-the-scenes shot from a shoot for the August issue of Young Champion ...
Lesser-known gravure idol Hiroko Kamata has discovered a sure-fire way to boost your popularity in a crowded industry: take off your panties and then cover your pudenda with your hands.
Kamata was once a mainstream celebrity of sorts, hosting a TBS TV show for two years in the late 2000s.
She then branched out into music and releasing DVDs and photo books in the 2010s, but the 30-year-old is now on the look-out for ways to keep her career going by appealing to her thousands of social media followers. In a world of Photoshopped and iPhone-filtered pristine selfies, how do you stand ...
So far, the highest-profile victim of COVID-19 in Japan has been the comedian Ken Shimura.
His death happened fairly early in the pandemic in Japan and since then infection numbers have risen quite a lot as the second wave hits, though deaths have not climbed to a scary rate (yet - touch wood).
As entertainers are continuing to work, filming things and so on, and coming into contact with a lot of people in the process, coronavirus infections are also disproportionately affecting the industry.
In recent days, several high-profile cases have appeared.
In early August, the busty gravure idol ...
The gravure model Mirai Nishijima, known for her slinky body, recently posted a picture of herself enjoying a wash at a hot spring. Netizens with keen eyes, though, were able to spot something that she presumably thought was tastefully hidden: her left nipple, poking proud through the soap suds and asking for attention.
It's attention we would be happy to provide!
Nishijima has since deleted the tweets (no doubt at the behest of her management), which actually showed pictures from a few years ago. Still, she shouldn't feel too bad. It could have been much worse, as the model Asana Miyamoto ...
Is there anything more attractive than a smart, older woman?
Born in 1984, Yukari Oshima (大島由香里) is a former Fuji TV announcer who is now a freelance presenter. Adding some more to her résumé, she is now making a late transition into gravure with this semi-nude shoot that shows off her beautiful, kissable back in particular.
Here are some factoids about Yukari that may or may not make her even more attractive: she's 36 (a ripe jukujo!), divorced, and a mother.
This is, as far as we know, her first proper gravure-style shoot.
The most successful recent example ...
