Shimiken (Ken Shimizu) has announced his marriage to the blogger and writer Haruka Ito after apparently dating for four years.
The announcement came online on July 15th with a tweeted picture of the happy couple.
Probably the best-known and most famous male adult video actor, the 38-year-old muscular performer has appeared in thousands of porn releases, in the process having sex with literally thousands of women. A tiny selection of his conquests include Melo Imai, Yua Mikami, and Shoko Takasaki. He also once opened a "poo curry" restaurant in Tokyo, which almost sounds like something ...
Sometimes a bit of experience makes a big different.
Sayuri Miyazono is the latest Japanese porn debutant to catch our eye and she's in a different kind of league to the hundreds of other new adult video stars.
Miyazono is 32 years old, putting her loosely in the jukujo "mature woman" category that is increasingly popular in the mainstream, thanks to the seductive likes of Mitsu Dan and Manami Hashimoto.
Sayuri's slender and pale Asian body is coupled with an E-cup bust and pretty face of the kind that can be seen almost any day around Tokyo. And that's the point. She's meant to be ...
Given the sheer volume of Japanese adult video produced each year and how many female performers are involved, it's no surprise that sometimes people are going to be exposed for having secret careers in porn.
This has in the past happened with nurses, Goldman Sachs employees, voice actresses, and even TV presenters.
And it can happen with young students.
The 1996-born Yumi Suzuki was crowned Miss Campus at the women-only Atomi University, winning the contest for her charms and pretty looks. But, if the online rumors are the be believed, the campus queen has a whole other side and one ...
Even if you're not an avid consumer, there's no denying that Japanese adult video is an incredible thing.
The porn industry is often very fast to respond to recent trends and developments, often through humor -- such as the Ryutaro Nonomura parody from 2015 or, from last year, a Nao Mizumi release that imitated a popular comedy routine.
Now AV is getting into the mood of the World Cup. Japan has so far done quite well, proceeding to the last 16 and with jubilant crowds gathering in downtown Osaka and Tokyo, in particular, to celebrate each victory late at night.
These scenes of ...
Regular readers will note that we have recently written a lot about new adult video stars. In just the past few weeks we have blogged about debuts from @yano_puple, Mahiro Tadai, and Rina Minami.
Our latest scholarly interest lies in rookie JAV star Noa Mizuhara, who debuted from S1 in March with a four-hour epic and has since gone on to appear in several AV releases. The slender 20-year-old has previously released an "image video" in summer 2017 (this is like a very sexy gravure video in which the star is almost naked but there is no actually sex and it's usually just her alone the whole ...
Last month, news broke that former AKB48 member Marie Watanabe had appeared in porn as an "amateur" (shiroto) performer.
Though she graduated from AKB48 way back in 2007 and actually made very few professional concert appearances with the music group, local netizens were still very excited by what they saw of Watanabe in action -- not least the thrill of yet another AKB idol getting down and dirty. The buzz was so strong that it seems she was approached by porn producers to do more.
Now performing under the new professional name of Nana Mizushima, Watanabe will make her official AV ...
We wrote last week about the rumors that Saki Sudo, the 22-year-old wife of recently deceased 77-year-old Kosuke "Don Juan" Nozaki, had a past porn career as an "amateur performer."
Now further proof has emerged. Again appearing under the name of Yurika, netizens have dug up another entry in her catalog of JAV credits.
Titled simply "Yurika" (GAREA451 or 241GAREA-381), the 104-minute was released by the G-AREA porn label in January or February 2018 -- just before Sudo tied the knot with Nozaki in February.
Intense tabloid media and online interest in Sudo and her involvement with the late ...
Say your thanks to the 8 million gods of Shinto. The latest major adult video debut is an idol with a distinctly Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Harajuku vibe.
@yano_purple, as she is known, has purple dyed hair and sweet looks. She might be one of the young girls you see in outrageously colorful clothes and cosplay on the streets of Harajuku or Shibuya.
Luckily for us she got scouted and tempted into a porn career. "Estimated" (as the marketing phrases it) to be 20 years old, she's making debut this month with a 126-minute release (1KMHR00039) from SOD Create. The AV has a threesome theme and in ...
It's almost summer -- so what better time to share an adult video debut by a stunning H-cup college student with an extreme tan line?
Rina Minami is meant to be 20 years old and a college student. We'll leave doubts about the veracity of these details to one side for a moment, since she has plenty of other assets that should provide more than enough distractions.
In April, she recently made her porn debut on the suitably named Oppai label with a 149-minute release (PPPD00659).
While she's probably not what you would call a gyaru exactly, her tan line is pretty crazy. Her breasts and ...
Japanese netizens with beady eyes and dirty imaginations are speculating that former AKB48 idol Marie Watanabe and now dokusha model ("reader model") had a career as an amateur porn star.
Such "shiroto" adult video releases are, of course, professional but they are filmed in such a way that they look like a woman is being picked up off the street. Performers are often inexperienced or first-timers.
Given the pedigree of Yua Mikami (formerly Momona Kito) and various others, Marie Watanabe would hardly be the first AKB or related music group idol to work in adult video. She actually joins a ...
