So you've seen the mega hit Makoto Shinkai anime Your Name.. Perhaps you've also seen it again in its recently released DVD form. Maybe you've even tried out the parody onahole toy.
But have you seen the Your Name. parody adult video?
Released in late June, Kimi no nawa. is the latest example of Japanese AV's penchant for parody. Previous eyebrow-raising examples of parody porn include Ultraman, wailing politician Ryutaro Nonomura, and comedienne Buruzon Chiemi (Blouson Chiemi).
It starts with the name. The 129-minute porn directed by Any Nakamura for Real Works cleverly uses a different ...
It's an open secret that Arashi idol group Jun Matsumoto is dating actress Mao Inoue, though their respective agencies prevent them from getting married.
But that's not all. Matsumoto is also alleged to have had an affair for several years with someone else -- none other than porn star Tsukasa Aoi.
The scandal was exposed by a tabloid at the end of last year after Aoi was spotted entering and leaving Matsumoto's apartment building.
Matsumoto apparently treated Aoi as his "sex slave". Inoue also stopped working for a while, possibly related to the scandal.
But Arashi is a ...
We love gravure and AV idols, but not just the ones currently in fashion. We also like learning about the thousands of women working in gravure and AV do after their careers are over.
Some go into prostitution or working as a hostess. Some become mainstream TV presenters or actors -- or even politicians. If they're lucky, some snag the right man and settle down to a quiet life of marriage and family. Some, though, fade into obscurity and poverty.
The actress Hikari Mitsushima is an acclaimed and popular talent today but started her career as an teen idol. The porn star Nayuka Mine is now a ...
There are more than a few bars and hostess clubs where you can have your drinks poured for you by AV actresses. There is also a new bar in Kabukicho by Weekly Playboy, where patrons are served by famous gravure idols.
But until now there hasn't been a bar directly operated by an AV production company. In March, that all changed when a well-known AV maker opened a small girls bar in Kabukicho.
For the uninitiated, a girls bar is a kind of cheap hostess club, where there is a modest cover charge and the drinks are a bit more expensive than usual.
Nikkan Spa recently paid a visit to Vivi, ...
Earlier in the year we wrote about the upcoming porn debut of NMB48 idol Risako Okada. The 21-year-old did a full-frontal photo shoot to celebrate her AV release on the Muteki label under a new performer name, Miko Matsuda.
Okada/Matsuda (aka Risapoyo) was a member of the Osaka-based AKB48 sister group from 2011 to 2012.
She now joins a growing list of former AKB idols who have "graduated" on to porn careers.
Now the first pictures have appeared from here adult video, "Number 01". While the set-up of the AV seems very straightforward indeed and hardly seems to have much of a budget ...
Shocking. Fluorescent. Gaudy. Loud. Vular. Neon. Flashy. Tacky.
There's a lot of epithets that can be applied to this new cosplay style that is like body art on psychedelic drugs, though none of them quite capture it.
Inspired by strange characters from anime, cinema and video games, behold the new Japanese subculture of ishoku-hada.
Certain sections of the Interweb are currently abuzz with breathless talk of this bizarre body painting and cosplay niche, which literally means "unique skin" or "unusual skin".
Like an "alien" version of gyaru, ganguro or yamanba trends, women dress ...
We're suckers for combos. Put two things that we like together and we get a "double-like" feeling.
And so it is with the lovely idol Erina Mano and Tenga. What more is there to say?
We've once again trawled the archives a bit with this one, but a TV drama featuring Erina Mano also had her lying on a bed filled with Tenga onacups, which have seemingly been used.
For good measure, she's also hugging a dutch wife (dakimakura, or hug pillow sex doll), though somewhat disturbingly it has a red mask on it (a traditional oni, or demon). Would that put you off?
We're ...
These days, the delightfully curvy Mitsu Dan is pretty mainstream and often appears on regular TV shows and commercials.
However, we still vividly remember the bad old days when she first burst on to the scene with some wild soft-core BDSM porn like Be My Slave (2012) that revealed pretty everything she had to offer except her pussy. And if she were so inclined to see that, she obliged with hair nude full frontals. Her more recent erotic shoots have been alluring yet not very graphic.
Let's get nostalgic about the sexier version of Mitsu Dan for a few moments by revisiting a late-night ...
Another week, another idol photo book or major weekly magazine photo shoot. What's special this time?
It's not the latest release from the ranks of AKB48 or Nogizaka46 trying to break out (though Mai Shiraishi did that very well recently with her bestselling photo book), nor the latest has-been model or actress stripping off fully nude in a last-ditch attempt to relaunch a dying career. Nor is it attracting controversy for its content per se like the Tomomi Kasai photo book where she was pictured naked with a young boy (Kodansha eventually canceled the release).
Nothing like as a crazy ...
What do AV actresses do on their days off? This is a question we often ponder. How many of the hot ladies wandering around Shinjuku and Shibuya are actually minor porn stars doing some shopping?
We've searched the archives a bit and found this revealing gem, which offers a tantalizing hint about what some of the more adventurous ladies get up to.
In April 2015, porn performer Sara Shinomiya spent her day off having her lovely body coated in cream and other sweet things -- all for her friends to slowly lick off.
They also used some sort of sweet topping to write insults on her legs in ...
