As Japan's population ages and there are ever more people over sixty, one of the challenges for the AV industry is how to adjust for a changing demographic.
One of the results is the growth of porn aimed at seniors. Expect porn starring older men and jukujo to become a major proportion of the market in the near future. (A knock-on effect is also that more and more prostitution services are catering specifically to the older customer, and that a quarter of love hotel users are over 65.)
Unlike many other places, the porn industry has not suffered the precipitous decline in DVD sales and ...
That cute nurse in that mundane clinic may not be only a nurse. She may also moonlight as a porn star.
It's a fantasy that's also a cliche -- except that is, sometimes, a spark of truth in it.
Japanese adult video is built upon the hard work not only of the top performers, whose numbers are too many to start counting. There are also thousands upon thousands of uncredited "amateur" performers -- women who also work as call girls and hookers, hostesses or just regular jobs. They provide the fodder for those crazy AV titles that feature dozens of women in massive gang bangs (one example here) ...
So you've seen the mega hit Makoto Shinkai anime Your Name.. Perhaps you've also seen it again in its recently released DVD form. Maybe you've even tried out the parody onahole toy.
But have you seen the Your Name. parody adult video?
Released in late June, Kimi no nawa. is the latest example of Japanese AV's penchant for parody. Previous eyebrow-raising examples of parody porn include Ultraman, wailing politician Ryutaro Nonomura, and comedienne Buruzon Chiemi (Blouson Chiemi).
It starts with the name. The 129-minute porn directed by Any Nakamura for Real Works cleverly uses a different ...
One of the things we love about Japanese pornography is its use of parody and pastiche -- and the parody is often very topic.
This is something of a ongoing trait in Japanese adult toys in general, too, as the parody masturbators and lubes of anime, mascots, celebrities and products show. Recently we even wrote about an onahole inspired by Kumamoto Prefecture.
Examples with AV include an awesome porn based on Ultraman and one on the "wailing" Japanese politician Ryutaro Nonomura.
"Career Woman Male Fishing" may well star Nao Mizuki, but she's clearly been made to look like female ...
Here it is, folks. The moment we've been waiting for these past weeks. OK, perhaps you guys weren't as excited but this is the world we inhabit.
Former gravure and nude mode Miu Nakamura's AV debut is out and the first preview images are available.
The slinky seductress with a tight body and flat chest to die for is here in all her fully glory. We've seen it before, thanks to her frequent hair nude full-frontal photo shoots. But this is the next step up. It doesn't get any more graphic than this.
"Fade In" is released on the Muteki label, which specializes in idols and celebrities ...
The Guardian has profiled the porn star Kurumin Aroma, another example of the chronic problem of coercion in the adult video industry in Japan.
Though long widely known for some time, the controversy over the coercion and exploitation of female performers has recently scandalized the industry, leading to a lot of press attention, a public apology and even arrests. Several prominent performers have come forward with stories of how they were tricked and forced into performing.
Aroma wanted to be a gravure idol and was spotted by a scout while still at college. Then when she had a ...
Mero Imai is a former Olympic snowboarder turned nude model and call girl.
As we reported in April, the 29-year-old single mother from Osaka has also now added porn star to her cluttered resume. Her debut Snow Drop was released May 1st from Muteki, which specializes in minor celebrities making the switch to porn.
The first pictures are in, so let's take a look.
What do you think? Mero Imai has a nice body and there's always the novelty factor with a release like this, but otherwise it looks pretty banal in terms of setting and on-screen ...
Another former AKB48 idol has made her porn debut, once again proving the thin pink line that exists between the industries.
Joining numerous other ex-AKB girls who "graduated" onto to adult video careers, Ryo Sakata's first porn film was released in mid-March from the Maxing label. She has already released a second one this month. Clearly she and her paymasters want to milk her appeal, which is not hard to see.
Here are some preview images from her first release.
To be fair, the 27-year-old Ryo Sakata was only a member of AKB48 for around half a month in ...
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 ...
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 ...
