Former nude idol Miu Nakamura rumored to make porn debut

/ Tadashi Anahori
Last month it was Miyako Akane. Earlier this month it was former Olympic snowboarder (and call girl) Mero Imai. This week it's Miu Nakamura.
The adult video label Muteki is really on a roll if the latest rumor is true: retired idol Miu Nakamura is about to make her long-awaited porn debut, reports Tokyo Sports.
She's a minor gravure idol probably most famous for her hair nude full-frontal photo shoots, which she first did in 2011. She started off as a junior idol when she was a teenager and ostensibly retired in 2012 after a 7-year career. Like Imai, she is alleged to have later worked as a ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Newbie porn starlet Anri Sakaguchi has been arrested for attempted extortion.
She apparently tried to extort money from a bar host with whom she was involved. She was arrested by Tokyo police on April 18th.
The 26-year-old Sakaguchi was a celebrity (famous largely for being the daughter of actress Ryoko Sakaguchi) who made her debut on the Muteki label in autumn 2016.
Professionally now known just as "Anri," she has since starred in another four titles. Her most recent one was released on DVD on April 13th.
There were rumors that she joined the Muteki (and later Moodyz) roster and made ...
Porn star Kana Yume releases her first clone onahole adult toy
April 19, 2017
/ Tadashi Anahori
As we know all too well, there is a veritable mountain of adult toys out there based on Japanese porn stars. The best are the "clone" onaholes, especially masturbators produced with sophisticated 3D-scanning technology.
We are pleased to share the news that the lovely Kana Yume has finally joined the ranks of AV idols who have been immortalized as sex toys.
The Kana Yume Curvy Body Onahole is as good as it sounds.
In addition to its realistic design and snug hole, the masturbator comes with a bonus DVD containing an image slideshow of original photos of Kana Yume. After all, you can ...
3D-scanned Japanese porn star toys represent new level of clone onaholes
April 12, 2017
/ Tadashi Anahori
As part of our work we get to see and try out a lot of adult toys on a daily basis, but these ones caught our eye as a cut above the rest.
Adult toy maker KMP has produced a series of "3D-scanned" toys based on top Japanese porn stars such as Kurea Hasumi, Kizuna Sakura, Rika Hoshimi, and Ayaka Tomoda.
We've certainly seen plenty of "clone" onaholes before, going back to masturbator sleeves in the 2000s such as the Meiki Maria Ozawa. But this seems to represent a new level in scientific realism. In the past, we think, some lucky technicians just took exact measurements of the AV idol's ...
Former Olympic snowboarder Mero Imai to make porn debut

/ Tadashi Anahori
The former Olympic snowboarder Mero Imai is to make her porn debut on the Muteki label, a studio that specializes in celebrities switching to the adult video industry. (Recent examples include Anri Sakaguchi, Miyako Akane, and Yua Mikami.)
As we wrote back in 2015, Mero Imai is a former half-pipe Olympic competitor in 2006. However, her lack of success at the Winter games led to personal and family problems and she started working as a hostess in Osaka.
As is sadly too common in the hostessing world, she then segued into a career as a delivery health call girl. She also had plastic ...
Japanese government wants to crack down on performer coercion in pornography
April 3, 2017
/ Tadashi Anahori
After the media controversy comes the government crackdown.
The biggest story in the adult industry last year was when the widespread coercion in the porn industry was finally exposed after several famous performers came forward, in addition to multiple arrests and prosecutions.
It led to an official apology from the industry, though can we really hope that things will really improve when the industry is so large and its needs so rampant? (After all, such coercion is also endemic for gravure idols, music idols and the general entertainment world.)
Kyodo now reports that the ...
Japanese silver porn star Maori Tezuka retires at 80
March 22, 2017
/ Tadashi Anahori
The world media has once again taken an interest in Japanese pornography -- in particular, porn made for and starring seniors.
We previously noted the press attention lavished on silver porn star Yasue Tomita and veteran male performer Shigeo Tokuda.
Doing the rounds of various overseas media outlets this time is an Associated Foreign Press article about the retirement of Maori Tezuka.
After a decade of peeling off for X-rated movies, a Japanese porn actress famous for being the country's oldest has called it quits -- at the ripe old age of 80.
Maori Tezuka, a former opera ...
She's finally done it. Miyako Akane has answered our prayers by making the next logical step in her career and becoming a porn star this spring.
Miyako Akane is a gravure idol and chakuero idol -- i.e., a busty idol who keeps her clothes on but barely (as opposed to AV idols, who do fully nude photo shoots all the time).
After wowing the nation with her amazing H-cup bust in what may be the most incredible and revealing swimsuit in Japan as well as 360-degree virtual reality softcore porn, things must have been drying up for Miyako Akane... or she just wanted to take her career to the next ...
Survey finds that 26.9 percent of Japanese models receive sexual harassment
February 9, 2017
/ Tadashi Anahori
A Japanese newswire article about sexual harassment among aspiring models and idols is doing the rounds, confirming what we've been saying for years.
Apparently, a government survey has shown that 26.9% of Japanese young female models and starlets have received "unwanted requests for sexually oriented photo shoots."
This comes hot on the heels of last year's controversy about widespread coercion in the porn industry.
In the first survey by the Cabinet Office on sexual abuse against young women, 7.7% of respondents had been offered contracts to become models or starlets.
Asked about ...
Japanese porn stars strip to improve our karaoke skills
January 31, 2017
/ Tadashi Anahori
Back in June last year we blogged about "porn star karaoke" in Japan, where a karaoke system features AV stars who generously strip off naked as you sing. Now that's encouragement.
Something similar has become a kind of minor talking point online recently. Once again, it's for Joysound (specifically, Joysound fR) and has Japanese porn stars.
This time, if you sing well, you are "rewarded" with a mildly censored image of a nude AV idol both during the track and at the end.
But if you stop singing, the footage switches to muscular men. If you're bisexual, it's a win-win. Otherwise, ...
