Asahi Mizuno, one of the biggest names in adult video, announced her retirement from porn on December 1st.
Posting the announcement on Twitter, she says she will continue to appear in AV until the end of February, which marks her sixth anniversary since entering the industry.
Of course, it's possible that she might just be leaving her current agency, C-more Entertainment, and will graduate to somewhere else under a new performer name, perhaps after a short period of time off.
Either way, fans have less than three months of official new Asahi Mizuno porn to consume. We can only ...
The AKB48 idol Yuki Kashiwagi, whose fans once turned her into a robot, has stripped down to her panties in an episode of the current TV drama Kono koi wa tsumi na no ka!? (Is This Love a Crime?!).
In what is probably a very Japanese touch, the panties had cute strawberries on them. While this time there is little more than just a glimpse at the back of her panties, the trailer for the next episode of the show hints at some shots of her bust. Pretty tame stuff, sure, but we reckon fans are delighted.
The 27-year-old Yuki Kashiwagi, aka Yukirin, is one of the most ...
We're starting to wind down for the year, looking forward to Christmas and taking a view back over the months that have passed for the best adult news stories and toys in Japan. Perhaps we'll put that in a post one day soon later in the month.
What were the best porn titles we saw during 2018? With so many great debuts throughout the year, that's a harder question to answer. Plus there were all the great AV we saw with established stars.
It's a question that becomes especially tricky when exciting releases like this burst onto the market in December, making us forget much of what we ...
While there are plenty of gravure idols and adult video stars who are exceptions, there's no escaping the fact that breasts tend to be on the small side in Japan. Indeed, some ladies have absolutely tiny breasts -- A cups and the like!
For those times when you encounter a "chopping board" chest, a useful word for your Japanese vocabulary is "hinnyu," literally meaning "poor breasts." These are so common there is even special lingerie for such women.
Tama Toys, however, knows that hinnyu can still be sexy and so have come up with the Japanese Flat Chest Fetish Tiny Breasts Toy. As its ...
Ten years of Muteki! It's hard to believe that a porn label that is now so central to our lives and this blog's content is only a decade old!
Muteki specializes in crossovers, launching adult video careers for women after they first build up a following as a model, gravure idol, music idol, actress, or something in mainstream entertainment. Over the years, it has overseen the porn debuts of many prominent stars, including Miyako Akane, Mero Imai, Miu Nakamura, Anri Sakaguchi, and Chiharu Komatsu.
Now you can celebrate the label's incredible achievements with a special pillow ...
Oh, dear, another silly headline to start our day. Please indulge us once again...
This time it's a survey by the Japanese Association for Sex Education, using 2017 data collected from Japanese college and university students that has been (no doubt selectively) parsed to produce a clickbaity sensational find.
We first stumbled upon this in English on SoraNews24, though the original source is the Japanese news.
Yes, most colleges kids are still virgins.
Well, college starts at 18 (same age as the lovely Nana Asakawa, pictured above), so is it a particular shock? Let's take a ...
The model and actress Kiko Mizuhara has posed for an alluring cover shoot for the latest issue of German magazine 032c, an English-language, biannual contemporary culture magazine based in Berlin.
The shoot saw her wear nothing but a jacket and gloves while sitting on a stool with a hand covering her nether regions. Her legs were open wide, inviting the viewer to imagine what he or she can't quite see.
Far from being shy about her latest antics, Kiko-chan posted the cover shot on Instagram.
Party girl Mizuhara is no stranger to nude and provocative shoots, or to sharing these ...

The tebura or "hand bra" is a frequent trope in gravure. What can be more alluring, it seems, than an idol or model covering her breasts with just her bare hands?
Recent examples include Rola and Minami Minegishi.
It has become something of a rite of passage for AKB-kei alumni, not least Minegishi, Haruna Kojima, Yuko Oshima, Kei Jonishi.
It can also get them into trouble, though, as the lesson of Tomomi Kasai notably shows. Her post-AKB career never recovered.
The latest idol to try her luck with this tactic is Ayaka Umeda, formerly of AKB48 and NMB48. However, her tebura shot, published ...
Have you ever seen those outdoor shots in Japanese adult video and wondered where they are in real life?
While a lot of AV is shot in studios and rented hotel rooms, the street shots are done for real (probably without a permit?), though with revealing names (like an actual university's) blurred out.
Using Google Street View, some diligent netizens in Japan have tracked down a few of the real-world locations in Tokyo that were used in certain porn releases. It makes for an oddly satisfying experience to identify them, especially if you are familiar with the place.
At times, of ...
