One of the biggest porn debuts of the year was by former Fairies idol Rikako Inoue, now performing as Yotsuha Kominato.
Her highly anticipated first adult release came out in the summer and was a hit, thanks to a major marketing splash laid out by Soft on Demand.
Now comes the follow-up.
Clocking in at a hefty 261 minutes (even longer than her debut) for the digital version, her second release (also from SODstar) is available in Japan from September 20 (code 1stars00715) and features 4K-quality action with four sexual encounters. The physical release on DVD and Blu-ray is a little shorter ...
Following its recent interview with pink film softcore porn star Chisa Hasegawa, the awesome Substack blog-newsletter Tokyo Calling has put out another cracker -- and we are very jealous. We don't know how Gianni Simone pulled it off but he managed to land an interview with a genuine soapland worker, and it's a sensitive and enlightening read.
Accompanied by photos by Eric Rechsteiner, the intrepid Simone pays a visit to one of the many soaplands (a kind of bathhouse-style brothel) in Senzoku, the Tokyo area formerly known as Yoshiwara -- the city's most popular and renowned red-light ...
New Japanese porn stars make their debuts on a weekly basis. Most come out of nowhere -- at least, their names are not yet known -- while others have some background in a related industry like gravure.
For new AV performer Riko Hoshino (星乃莉子), it's a bit of both. We hadn't heard of her before but apparently the Hokkaido native has already appeared in a weekly magazine as a gravure idol earlier in the summer.
Before that, she was a professional patissier, which makes us wonder about all those lovely ladies in white uniforms we see inside bakeries.
Hoshino's first release comes out ...
Public toilets in Japan are sometimes surprisingly exposed, especially the male ones in parks. Instead of an actual door, there's just an open doorway. The windows are often low. A casual passerby is frequently able to peep in and see men relieving themselves.
And if you're lucky, you might see some scenes like this.
We have brought together some great nude photos and shots of outdoor sex by Japanese couples at public toilets. This kind of roshutsu "exposure" sex is a whole subgenre of Japanese adult video, but there's also plenty of examples of amateur couples leaving a digital trace of ...
You may never have heard of Marie Tachibana, but pretty much everyone in Kabukicho seems to have heard of her.
Perhaps the first thing to remark about her is that she is biracial (her father is American). The second is that she comes from a Christian family (that father was a missionary) -- and a big family at that, with seven siblings.
Instead of pursuing the conventional academic path, none of the children went to high school. Marie went to volunteer in India when she was 15, for instance.
If you were following J-Pop closely in the 2000s, you might have already seen Marie Tachibana ...
In the age of #MeToo, the job of the intimacy coordinator in film and television has risen to prominence in the West.
What about Japan? With the recent scandals over the likes of directors Sion Sono and Hideo Sakaki, documentary filmmaker Yu Kaneko, and actor Houka Kinoshita, concern over sexual predators and harassment is higher than ever (albeit much more belated than in the United States and Europe).
Intimacy coordinators do exist, though are a rare species indeed. Gendai Media recently published a two-part interview with Momoko Nishiyama, one of only two professional intimacy ...
Kinbaku (shibari) rope bondage sensei Steve Osada, formerly known as the photographer Dr D Vice, is the inheritor of the Osada name and tying style (Osada-ryu) from Eikichi Osada.
The late master is one of the people responsible for making kinbaku known in the mainstream. He staged his first kinbaku performance at a ballet school in Asagaya, Tokyo, in 1965, which ushered the previously hidden world of rope bondage into the open. He subsequently moved his performance act to the strip show venue circuit in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, he did many shows with pink movie legend Hiromi Saotome, ...
About two years ago, we published something about busty gravure idol Hikaru Aoyama's semi-nude photo book debut, and it was an unexpectedly popular post.
There has been a kind of subtle shift in the industry away from the bakunyu mega-bust gradols toward more slimmer beauties like Kazusa Okuyama and Risa Yukihira, though ladies like Hikaru Aoyama, Jun Amaki, and, more recently, Aoi Fujino, prove that large jugs are still a hit.
Aoyama and her I-cup breasts are certainly still going strong, as a new shoot amply demonstrates.
The 29-year-old, who is also part of a five-member gravure music ...
Turning notoriety into profit is an age-old trick, and 31-year-old YouTuber Yu Hirose has done it.
After the sexy YouTuber, who boasts over 450,000 subscribers, got arrested for public indecency for live-streaming nude sex acts on FC2, she has made a comeback. And she's decided to go the whole hog by doing porn.
Her debut, a 131-minute AV (LZDQ00025) from Lezre!, came out on August 20 (streaming) and August 23 (physical release). She is credited by her online name, Yu Hirose (広瀬ゆう).
Form the looks of things, she stays masked throughout proceedings, which seem to involve a bit of ...
People like to bang on about the supposed Protestant work ethic, but one of the first things you notice about Japan when you visit or live here is how seriously locals take their jobs. They work (or are pressured to work) very long hours. In general, this is not a good thing, though it does at least foster a real commitment to professionalism and providing good service.
But there's dedication to service and then there's dedication to service. And wildly popular Japanese porn star Eimi Fukada is very much all about providing fan service.
She recently held a 24-hour free hugs event for her ...
