Last year, police in Hong Kong cracked down on foreign sex workers, arresting several women including former Japanese porn star Noa Aizawa.
It's well known that active and former adult video performers do sex work. It can be especially lucrative to engage in such work outside Japan, particularly other parts of Asia, where JAV is immensely popular. If your career is flagging in Japan or you want a change of pace, you can enjoy a good lifestyle with affluent clients abroad.
It seems that situation in Hong Kong is much the same, with media reporting the arrest on September 5 of 11 members of a ...
The tabloids are all of a flutter over rumors that recently retired top porn star Yua Mikami (30) is sleeping with not one but two boy band singers.
According to the Weekly Bunshun, Kento Senga (32) of Kis-My-Ft2 spent around three hours at Mikami's apartment on the night of August 31. A few hours later, he was apparently followed by Kento Nagao (21) of Naniwa Danshi. The report ignited something of a Twitter firestorm in early September.
It's not the first time that Mikami has found herself at the center of such romance rumors. She was previously said to be dating singer Yuya Tegoshi and ...

Japanese adult video fans will probably already know who June Lovejoy is, one of the most successful foreign performers working in the JAV industry.
Lovejoy made their porn debut in early 2020. Not content to sit on her AV laurels, Lovejoy newest passionate project is now up and running.
They have launched a rival to Tokyo Kinky. Just kidding. Tokyo Love District is (in Lovejoy's words) an online "guide of Tokyo and Japan in general with a focus on people working in the Japanese adult industry, JAV industry members, fetishists, artists, models, and anyone that is working in the unseen scene ...
Do Japanese girls want to date Western guys? It's a question that many of our readers probably want to find out.
Of course, the answer is: it depends on the girl.
But such obvious points aside, what do Japanese women, especially young Japanese women, think about dating non-Japanese man, particularly from Western countries?
Fortunately, instead of going out and doing a time-consuming survey ourselves, we found this nice video of street interviews from a few months ago.
The interviewer, Takashii, manages to score comments from some fine-looking and very eligible ladies. We're not sure how ...
Another week, another new Japanese adult video debut.
This time, the newbie porn performer who has caught our eye is Ruu Totsuka (十束るう), who used to be known professionally as Shiho Nagisa (渚志帆).
Her debut (code STARS-901-T) came out on SODstar digitally on August 30, and then on DVD on September 21.
Apparently, she's been working as a voice and stage actor since the age of six! She's meant to be currently a gravure model, though we had never seen her before. Regardless, her 20-year career just entered a whole new chapter.
The 26-year-old native of Kumamoto has incredible ...
Earlier in the year, we wrote a short profile about Aya Takanashi, the former porn star who is now a columnist.
Her articles in Spa! are always worth a read, usually introducing certain aspects about the adult industry and her insights on them.
We spotted her recent piece about street scouts (known in Japanese as "scout man"). Such suited, flashily dressed figures are often seen hanging around certain neighborhoods of a big city. In Tokyo, this often means Kabukicho.
They go up to women and try to entice them with offers of well-paid work. Sometimes this is porn work, though the true ...
Talking about going out with a bang.
So many idols from AKB48, Nogizaka46, and their sister groups quickly disappear into the ether after graduating, so their final individual release (photo book, photo shoot, etc.) may be one of the last ways they can make a mark.
Seira Hayakawa is doing just that, and then some.
Whatever happens to the 23-year-old Osakan after leaving Nogizaka46 at the end of August (and she has indicated her intention to fully retire from the entertainment world), she has rewarded fans with her most explicit photo shoot yet.
Her photo book, Some You Again, Someday, ...
Actor and model Ayame Misaki is continuing her gravure comeback, which began in earnest in 2021.
This followed her divorce and roles in more serious films, after an early career in gravure and somewhat more frivolous TV roles.
After the success of her sexy, summery photo book earlier this year, she is returning in the autumn with a new photo book in Kodansha.
Some previews of the as-yet-unnamed publication appeared in the September 8 issue of weekly magazine Friday. Not much else is known at this stage, other than it's shot by Akinori Ito. Based on the quality of these previews, we can't ...
It seems in the TikTok and Instagram age, the usual route to stardom is not (just) through working as a fashion model, music idol, gravure idol, or something similar.
You can first build up your own following as an influencer on your own platform and then opt to move into lingerie modeling with a photo book.
The influencer Amichi (あみち) is proving that approach can work: with her 190,000 followers on Instagram and a million on TikTok, she is now set to release her first photo book after already spending much of her teens and high school years online.
The previews from the debut ...
