An upcoming new Japanese porn performer is rumored to be none other than unpai3 (うんぱい), a TikToker with over 3.5 million followers (not to mention, 200,000+ followers on Twitter).
Unpai is known for her TikTok videos that show off her H-cup bust (though in an ostensibly PG-13 way -- no nipples on display).
As teased on Twitter on December 30, she is to make her JAV debut on S1 No. 1 Style in January. Her one-off 170-minute release (SSIS-312) comes out on DVD on January 25. Sadly, no preview images are yet available.
Several women make their adult video debuts every week ...
The 26-year-old I-cup gravure idol Sakura Ninomiya (二宮さくら) is making the switch to porn, joining top industry label Moodyz as Sakura Mita (三田サクラ). And it's not a one-off.
As Sakura Ninomiya, she released a bunch of image videos from 2016 onward and seemed set for a big, busty future in gravure. In 2019, she released a photo book.
Now as Sakura Mita, having left her agency of five years at the end of June this year, she released her first AV (midv00008) on December 7. Unsurprisingly, the publicity for the 150-minute video focuses squarely on her amazing ...
In a recent interview on a late-night TV Tokyo show, adult video actress Rena Momozono (桃園怜奈) shared some of her early experiences of trying to balance a secret porn career with a "normal" life.
The 25-year-old I-cup beauty from Hyogo made her debut anonymously in the industry in 2015 while a student at a prestigious college. In the space of just a month she was identified. She released only three titles with Fitch before retiring in 2016.
She originally wanted to become a gravure idol and went to meet an agency in Tokyo, only to be told that she could only do AV. The 19-year-old ...
Japanese porn's inventive penchant for parody is well documented on the pages of this blog. Past examples include Demon Slayer, Joker, and Weathering with You.
The latest to catch our attention is a parody of Tokyo Revengers, a franchise that has spawned a bestselling manga series, TV anime series, and recent live-action film adaptation.
Starring Akari Mitani (who recently got her own clone masturbator toy!), the 152-minute release (HMN00077) from Honnaka is directed by Nao Masaki and came out November 23 in Japan.
Like the original series, the AV has a time travel premise. Akari has ...
The tabloid magazine Weekly Bunshun has published an interview with someone they give the alias Yuna Ishihara, who is apparently a 24-year-old student at Tokyo College of Music.
But she also appears in adult video and works at a soapland in Yoshiwara, Tokyo's long-established red-light district in the east of the city.
But due to the pandemic, her income of ¥900,000 (around $9,000) a month has massively decreased, leading her to take up papakatsu.
As reported before, this is a euphemism for compensated dating with older men (sugar daddies). The principle is hardly new but the term has ...
Like us, you may have noticed that Japanese porn star and stripper Urara Uraraka (うららか麗) had been quieter of late, both in terms of AV releases and her social media output.
In fact, she had retired from adult video and the nominal reason came out on November 3: she's now pregnant, due to give birth very soon.
And she's sensibly capitalizing on her new physical circumstances to make a nude photo book with shots of her pregnant body, which she is selling to fans online. Given how many tattoos she famously has on her body, we can only imagine how hot she now looks while ...
We normally find ourselves writing with glee about Japanese adult video's penchant for parody, in which the industry often reacts very quickly to events and cultural phenomena with pastiche porn par excellence.
But this time, JAV was beaten to the punch by porn makers in Taiwan.
Netflix's Korean hit Squid Game, whose sex scenes we have written about, has now inspired a porn rip-off on the East Asian island nation.
Details are slim, though news about the upcoming porn release is spreading online for the past week or so. With the original drama's themes of punishment and torture, it's ripe ...
We have by now learned to accept the innate contradiction that exists at the heart of Japanese porn: that the country has one of the largest, most varied industries in the world, and yet it also adheres to an interpretation of a century-plus-old obscenity law that says you cannot show genitalia. Hence JAV always has "mosaic" -- pixellation of the penis and vagina.
We have gotten used to this and no longer find it distracting, nor do we think it actually obscures the really important stuff (i.e., the beautiful face and body of the porn star).
Others, though, disagree and there exist ...
Comedian Sanma Akashiya is up to his old tricks again, if reports in the Japanese media are to be believed. Known for his success with the ladies even in his fifties and sixties, Akashiya has previously been linked with porn stars Eririka Katagiri and Makoto Yuuki.
Now comes a report that Akashiya, who is 66, took out porn star Kana Momonogi for dinner, ostensibly to "celebrate her success." He was an admirer and got connected with the 24-year-old through a personal contact.
The result was an intimate dinner between just the two of them for two and a half hours. So if you're rich, famous, ...
The Japanese YouTuber Powerful Rumi (ぱわふるみ), known for her bakunyu "explosive" breasts, is to make her JAV porn debut as Mirai Asumi (明日見未来).
Rumi, whose channel has 140,000 subscribers on YouTube, is known for her videos where largely does various provocative things while dressed in loose-fitting loungewear. She always wears a face mask to protect her identity, though she is clearly hot (masks have the effect of accentuating a woman's eyes, making them popular even pre-pandemic).
Many, if not most, are shot in her home but she also sometimes ventures outdoors, like ...
