We've been "investigating" another fab genre of Japanese pornography a lot recently.
Homeless porn.
Back in 2011 we saw our first title, where a young J-girl is homeless in L.A. and has to sleep with tramps to get a place to stay.
But there are many, many more.
Some take the common "girl-in-peril" motif and have the young lady being forced to undergo something that is "dirty" or humiliating, or an incredible challenge.
Often the sex is semi-public, watched by all the other homeless guys in the community.
In general, this "humiliation" style is a frequent style in many Japanese JAV ...
Despite being the biggest producer of Japanese porn in the land, Soft on Demand (SOD) still manages to keep surprising audiences. No Hollywood-style reliance on tired formats for SOD!
Here's one we're loving at the moment.
It uses that trope found common to a lot of Japanese kikaku porn (literally "project films", features that focus on an unusual setting and situation rather than a star), the countryside.
Deep in the rural hinterland, there is a horse stables and racecourse where they train and keep mares and stallions.
Only these are not ordinary horses.
No, in Human ...
Who says the industry doesn't look after its own?
The Japanese porn world can get a bad rap, with lots of memoirs recently by former actresses recounting their woes and troubles after fucking and sucking their way through hundreds of men.
But the porn documentary The Other Side of Sex, currently playing at the leading film venue Uplink in Shibuya, will allow porn stars the chance to get in for a discounted ticket price.
Kind of a busman's holiday, the documentary is about the men of the JAV industry and so may prove all too familiar to the ladies.
However, the producers of the ...
Put your hand up of you've ever watched some Japanese porn -- okay, we're raising every part of our bodies! Well, then you will have probably at least one time seen this star.
But unlike Maria Ozawa et al, she doesn't have a name nor even the fame she deserves. But her role in driving the engine of JAV is undisputed.
Behold, the Fairy Massager Wand -- perhaps the most commonly used vibrator in Japanese pornography.
Why is it so popular?
Well, it's obviously a very powerful vibe and its size makes it very visually effective for shooting porn.
Its size also means it can be ...
It's no secret that there's a lot of cum in Japanese porn.
From the ubiquitous bukkake face shot to whole "drinking semen" epics, Japanese guys like their spunk on the ladies.
Well, Japanese porn studio RADIX decided to recruit the semen of fans for JAV star Uta Kohaku's next film.
A pretty neat way not only to generate publicity and interest in the upcoming title -- but also save on expenses! (Most JAV use bukkake lotion and cream when their team's supplies run low after a long day's, ahem, shoot.)
The filming took place yesterday and so this was when Uta got to see ...
Forget politics. When it comes to what's inside their pants, Chinese men are willing to forget about the ongoing Senkaku Islands dispute with Japan.
Namely, hot Japanese porn stars.
Sora (or Sola) Aoi is especially popular, with 13 million followers on the Chinese version of Twitter.
With Japanese cars being trashed, Chinese films being withdrawn from the Tokyo International Film Festival, and trade and tourism collapsing... you might think that Sora should be worried. Apparently not.
A slogan spread among Chinese men earlier this year: “The Senkaku Islands belong to us; Sora Aoi ...
We all know and love the likes of Maria Ozawa.
But something like 95% of Japanese porn is populated not by stars but by so-called kikaku joyu, or "project actresses" -- these are the unsung heroines of an industry that products 20,000 titles a year.
In the same way that American porn has anonymous fluffers doing much of the dog's work, the kikaku joyu provide the meat for all the incredible JAV porn films that involve sometimes dozens or even hundreds of actresses. They will play the "regular girl" roles -- OL, nurse, student etc.
They are typically scouted on the streets or recruited ...
Classic Japanese pornography star Nao Saejima (冴島奈緒) has passed away at the age of just 44, following a five-year battle with cancer.
Saejima appeared in over forty JAV adult films and she also even formed a porn pop band in the late Eighties.
Always popular with fans and colleagues, Saejima was famed for her truly exquisite breasts, to which we at Tokyo Kinky would like to pay tribute with this ...
In Japan toilets are very special places.
They can either be somewhere terrifying -- the old style of public lavatory resembles a kind of hole in the ground which you squat over -- or bewildering -- in particular, the hi-tech electronic ones with heated seats, dozens of buttons and even voices that talk to you.
But did you know they can also be places where sexy women reside, waiting for your every command?
The Fantasy Toilet series of Japanese adult films is one of the most original and strange settings we've encountered (and that's saying a lot since JAV porn is full of ...
This has been floating around for a little while now but we wanted to spread the word about this "Japanese porn cultural exchange" campaign, a fundraiser looking for backers to help them make a porn film with a JAV star from Japan... in America.
We think the success of this depends on if they make the film in the normal local way or if they try to just do a U.S.-style porno with a Japanese girl. (A third, more conceptual alternative is if they do it in a "Japanese" way but as seen through the eyes of the west.) We think there is an awful lot in JAV that is very culturally contextual and ...
