Japanese movies rarely have sex scenes of note, it must be said, so the good ones stand out.
Japanese television is pretty tame, the occasional sexy scene not withstanding. But AbemaTV, an online streaming channel, has different standards.
Last year it broadcast its first original drama series, Tokumei Kakaricho Tadano Hitoshi, showing us Shoko Takahashi (formerly the gravure idol Shoko Takasaki) and Yua Mikami (ex-SKE48 idol Momona Kito) in the buff. All right, they are two of the top AV stars in Japan today, so we've already seen everything they have to offer and more. But it's still nice ...
There comes a point in every Japanese porn star fan's life when he (or she) has to accept the facts of reality.
Their favorite adult video idol will, at some point, retire from the industry, most likely into obscurity. Or they get married (at least, they do the rare thing of announcing this publicly while still famous).
Such is the case with Sola Aoi, the immensely popular JAV star who enjoys remarkable fame overseas.
Sola (or Sora) has not made an original porn release since 2011 but is still adored by legions of men, especially in China. Now, sadly, there is a further obstacle between ...
Idol Miu Nakamura's adult video debut was one of the most exciting of 2017 and we have been looking forward to her second porn release for months.
It's finally here and our anticipation was not in vain. The slinky, flat-chested 26-year-old former idol -- no stranger to doing to full-frontal nude shoots even before she joined Muteki's roster of porn talent -- has now released a new AV from the label Moodyz. The 239-minute epic (MIDE00502, Saikourin) came out on New Year's Day, or a few days before for the digital version.
It features four sessions of nakadashi sex (apparently Miu's ...
Whatever happens to Japan's junior idols?
This is a controversial topic. Many find the idea of junior idols (or chidol) -- girls often as young as their tweens or even younger -- repellent and tantamount to encouraging pedophilia in the same way as lolicon.
However, it's worth remembering that many gravure idols start their careers in their late teens and are technically below the age of adulthood in Japan (20 years old). So it's not all about the specific genre of junior idols and things are very ambiguous when you start looking around.
After all, many music idols from groups like ...
Since leaving AKB48, Mariya Nagao has been determined to carve out a career for herself by exploiting her assets.
While she hasn't gone quite as far of other AKB idols before her and done full nude or semi-nude shoots, lke Aika Ota recently, and certainly hasn't entered adult video like a prominent number of her fellow AKB and sister group graduates, she has shown us her killer body on more than one occasion. And what a stunner she is.
Now she has shown off her acting chops in a role that sees her do her first sex scenes. And judging by her performance, at any rate, she would seem to ...
It's something of an open secret these days that all the commercial excitement comes from Nogizaka46, not AKB or its direct sister groups.
Photo books by the likes of Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto have become runaway bestsellers, or photo shoots by Misa Eto have dazzled. Even more minor members such as Yumi Wakatsuki, Mai Shinuchi, Kazumi Takayama, and Miona Hori have established their reputations in recent times -- at least in our consciousness.
But let's not forget the official AKB48 sister groups. NMB48's Miru Shiroma, for example, is a true star on the rise.
And now the Nogizaka46 ...
Gravure idol Nanami Moegi has posed semi-nude in the latest push in her career.
The 24-year-old, G-cup idol has released a steady stream of DVDs since she debuted in 2012, but has yet to hit the big league. Will this all change with her latest photo shoot?
This is a typical example of the "semi-nude" shoot -- aka chakuero (chaku-ero) "clothed erotic" shoot -- some idols do, as opposed to the fully nude ones that reveal pretty much everything, though often with the exception of their hairy bush.
Gravure idols Yuka Someya and Moemi Katayama both recently showed us other examples of ...
The controversial ERO24TV telethon "boob aid" (Oppai Bokin) event took place on December 3rd. Famously it gives regular members of the public the chance to grope porn stars' breasts for a few seconds, with all proceeds going to AIDS-related charitable causes.
Here's a preview of what happens. Note how the patrons have to sterilize their hands before they can lay them on the holy vessels of the AV idols' chests.
The "boob aid" event has not been without its critics, so much so that it attracted a petition to ban it last year. Thankfully it was not successful and the event is now wildly ...
Eri Ishida is responsible for one of the most famous "hair nude" full-frontal nude photo books. Of course, there were many women who made the genre so wildly successful two decades ago, but a lot have faded into the ether. Along with Rie Miyazawa's classic "Santa Fe," though, Ishida's joyful contributions have lingered firmly in the popular consciousness.
Eri Ishida is, of course, no longer a spring chicken but she is still working in the entertainment industry. In fact, she is releasing a new photo book in December -- and it's a hair nude one!
Yes, Eri Ishida is going to her roots ...
One of our favorite Japanese porn stars, Rion, has joined forces with a newcomer on the adult video block, Nanami Hashimoto Matsumoto. And what a pairing they make!
Not to be confused with the Nogizaka46 idol of the same name (but different kanji), The 23-year-old, H-cup Nanami Matsumoto is a voluptuous beauty who makes a perfect counterpoint to the ravishing Rion (aka Rara Anzai, Shion Utsunomiya).
The two ladies have recently appeared together in a stunning nude photo shoot with a seriously alluring lesbian theme.
Matsumoto made her gravure debut in 2015 and then took ...
