The TikTok star Kanna Sannoki (三木環奈) is making her porn debut this month with a release from Moodyz Diva.
The 154-minute release (MIDV00983), directed by Trendy Yamaguchi, comes out on DVD on December 17 (it's already out on streaming).
Kanna Sannoki is advertised as a current college student, though we suspect her beauty and boobs would be a real distraction in the seminar room.
The powers that be clearly have faith in Kanna Sannoki's sales potential, because she already has another release on the slate. It's a nude "image video" without sex, but revels in the allure of ...
The porn star Ayumi Kuroki (黒木歩) made her debut in 2010. She hasn't had many credits in the past few years but has not officially retired. Her most recent release is a lesbian-themed production that comes out later this month.
The performer is now 43 and very much in the MILF/jukujo category. She also directs and sings in a band, and holds private events for fans.
She gave an interview to Spa! last month in which she described what it is like to raise a child while pursuing her line, similar to a interview that married porn star and mom Marina Shiraishi also gave the publication in ...
Former Japanese porn star Rei Chinatsu (千夏麗) has been arrested for an alleged romance scam with a man she met through social media.
The 26-year-old has appeared in several adult video releases, with 12 titles currently listed on Fanza, Japan's largest online porn retailer, though this includes anthology-type releases with footage from multiple performers' previous releases. Most of her releases have a schoolgirl theme and seem to date from 2019. Her other performer name was Nozomi Nakase.
She is not currently active as a professional performer, it seems.
The allegation is that ...
Which Japanese adult video stars look like other Japanese celebrities?
Some Japanese porn performers have a striking resemblance to well-known models, idols, actresses, and other celebrities. This is sometimes just coincidence but the likeness is also often ruthlessly exploited in the marketing for certain releases, even to the extent of the choice of performer name.
We listed a few examples below.
Mitsuki Takahata and Minamo.
Minami Minegishi and Asuka Momose.
Kanna Hashimoto and Kanon Kanade (and something tells us that the marketing department was fully aware of the ...
The founder of Japanese video hosting site FC2, Riyo Takahashi, once ran unsuccessfully for election in Japan's upper house.
His campaign platform was to "crush mosaic censorship," referring to the pixellation that covers genitalia in Japanese porn to protect producers and retailers from prosecution under Japan's obscenity law, which is usually interpreted as drawing the line at showing a penis or vagina. (This same logic is applied to nudity in mainstream movies too.)
Now Takahashi has been arrested by police in Japan when he returned to the country. The 51-year-old was arrested on ...
In a recent interview with Spa!, Japanese porn star Marina Shiraishi (白石茉莉奈) discussed some of the background to her highly successful career.
Shiraishi made her debut back in 2013 and is now 38 years old, making her a jukujo mature performer.
But many people are not perhaps aware that she is married and has a child, both from before her entry in the industry.
It's more common for JAV performers to marry after they retire and those who do marry during their careers can end in divorce. "I thought I was an unusual case," she admits.
Her son is now 15 years old -- and we truly ...
Here's a case that ticks all the boxes about the current moral panic.
A concafe ("concept cafe") staffed by men in Kabukicho, Tokyo, is accused of exploiting vulnerable female customers.
Concafes can be innocuous themed cafes but are often staffed only by men, making them essentially a kind of host club (similar to how girls' bars are like a cheap hostess club). The customers come for the fantasy created by theme (butlers, doctors, private boys' boarding school students, etc.) and the men who work there.
At this one, 32-year-old Takuma Ono is alleged to have tried to force a 20-year-old ...
As we write this, Japan is heading to the polls in an election that might see the ruling LDP lose its majority in the House of Representatives.
Of course, we're less interested in the podgy faces of the LDP policos, most of whom should be off collecting their pensions by now instead of running the country, and more in the possible success of candidates like ex-gravure model Chisato Morishita, still a hottie at age 43 (and unmarried too).
She's already failed once in her bid to win a seat. Will she succeed this time and brighten up the stale corridors of power with her slinky charms?
This ...
Japanese porn parodies are two a penny. Every few weeks seems to offer up yet another colorful AV parody of a franchise or real-life incident. We reported on the new Frieren: Beyond Journey's End porn parody last week, for example.
But though at times inventive or even provocative, these parodies tend to have lowish production values and, let's be honest, are basically a cash grab.
And so people have reacted with surprise at the high quality of the porn parody of My Dress-Up Darling (その着せ替え人形は恋をする), a manga, anime, and (since this month) TV drama on MBS, because ...
Mana Sakura was recently admitted to hospital, suffering from pneumonia.
When Sakura shared news about her health on social media earlier this month, it sparked a lot of unfounded online speculation that she found offensive. Some netizens even claimed that she had AIDS.
Sakura has reacted with fury to these allegations, issuing the corrective and promising to consult with her agency about launching a lawsuit against the people who spread the rumors about her having AIDS.
The 31-year-old Sakura, who is also a novelist (four and counting, and one was adapted into a movie) and director, is ...
