We recently reported on the porn debut of name-changing idol Sarina Toyama, aka Sarina Haru, and now working in JAV as Meisa Nishimoto.
Apparently still an active member of the idol group Once a Chance (which just celebrated its first live music event), Nishimoto is also a porn star, a new career that she launched with a full-frontal nude photo shoot a few weeks ago.
Soon after, we got confirmation of her first release (STARSBD-462), which comes out via SOD Star later in October.
Now we finally have some proper preview pictures to share.
The release looks like a standard fuck-on-a-bed ...
In early 2020, we shared the news about the porn debut of Rumina Yuki, the former beauty queen at the prestigious Gakushuin University.
It seems that Rumina Yuki, whose real name is Kanako Asakura, continued her career in porn and released more videos as well as appear in many semi-nude and nude shoots for weekly magazines. She eventually became attached to the Prestige label and released a photo book in February of this year.
But now aged 26, Rumina was apparently associating with the wrong kind of men and struggling to cope with her newfound path in porn. As reported by a tabloid ...
As one of the most popular adult video stars in Japan and the originator of a whole line of adult toys, Eimi Fukada is a woman who knows about sex.
And she's also a generous soul who wants to share her insights with the general public.
She is also one of the most active JAV stars on YouTube and recently released a new video titled (roughly) "Intercourse to Get Your Partner Hooked on You."
Yes, in the eight-minute video, Eimi -- dressed more like a sophisticated office lady you may spot shopping in Daikanyama than a porn star -- gives us the lowdown on how to make a female partner really ...
A few months ago, we reported on the exciting news that shibari rope bondage master Hajime Kinoko was creating and selling an augmented reality art installation as an NFT.
Well, the NFT boom shows no signs of abating just yet, and others are jumping on the bandwagon.
And by others, we mean none other than top Japanese porn star Yua Mikami, who has announced a new project: your NFT.
To mark her twenty-eighth birthday, August 16, Yua has collaborated with famed Japanese art director Gugi Akiyama and photographer Yasunari Kikuma to take a special photograph.
She will then sell 28 images ...
What to do when your career as a weather forecaster is faltering? Strip off for a weekly magazine, it seems.
Well, it's hard to say what the precise motives are for Mian Shirasaka (白坂みあん), the 21-year-old beauty who holds a qualification as a weather forecaster (often held by weather presenters) and whose meteorological broadcasting career is surely just starting.
But that hasn't stopped her from moving to her backup plan, which was apparently not only trying her hand at gravure but at a "hair nude" full-frontal shoot as well. Talk about jumping in at the deep end.
The shoot is ...
We are late to write about this but Japanese media reported in August that retired porn star Nao Oikawa (及川奈央) had divorced her husband of five years.
She married the man, who is six years her senior, in December 2016 but announced in early August that she had divorced in the spring.
Oikawa was a top adult video performer from 2000 to 2004. Since leaving JAV and now aged 40, she has carved out a modest second career as a "regular" actor, appearing in a major NHK period drama, among various other credits.
Fans have called for her return to the industry, especially now that she is ...
She goes by many names and her career just took a whole new turn.
Previous active since 2020 as a music idol in such groups as KissBee and Once a Chance under the names Sarina Toyama (外山さりな) and Sarina Haru (春さりな), she has switched to gravure -- and yet another name, Meisa Nishimoto (西元めいさ).
Not such a big surprise here: a large number of idols also pose for gravure shoots on a regular basis.
But for the Chiba native's shoot in the August 27 issue of the weekly magazine Friday, she posed for a great full-frontal nude shoot (hair nude). Now that's what we call ...
It is the height of the Japanese summer, a season typically spent at firework displays, local festivals, and at sport venues. This year, of course, is a bit different and many things are canceled or scaled down (again!) due to the ongoing pandemic.
And so we are thinking back to happier times when we would roam baseball stadiums, admiring both the games and the lovely "beer girls" (uriko) who sell the drinks.
Like booth companions ubiquitous at conventions, these girls have attracted their own fandom. After all, what better way to sell drinks than getting hot young women to walk around ...
There are several ways to tell that you have "made it" as a porn star in Japan.
Probably the first and most obvious is when you are cast as a tantai joyu (単体女優) -- an actor who carries a whole release by herself and is given a lead credit (as opposed to the thousands of performers who are uncredited). Only this kind of role ultimately pays enough to make porn a full-time career.
Another is perhaps when you release a photo book or get offers to do various fan events.
But a really big sign is when you get your first spin-off adult toy.
Sendai native Ichika Matsumoto debuted in 2019 ...
The former porn star and now manga artist Nayuka Mine has interviewed Nanami Kawakami, the actor who this year set up her own agency and announced her upcoming retirement from adult video.
In the article published in Spa!, the two share stories about how they got into porn, both coming from rural parts of Japan and going to not especially reputable high schools before they were scouted. Inevitably, as provincials, they were awed by the idea of moving to be the big city and earning big bucks as porn stars.
In Kawakami's case, it was in Fukui Prefecture. Though she says her first release ...
