Akiho Yoshizawa, one of the biggest names in Japanese adult video, has announced her retirement from porn at the age of 34 and literally hundreds of AV and softcore (pink) credits to her name.
After making her debut in AV in 2003, she has proven one of the most enduring stars in a tough and competitive industry.
Some are saying that her departure after a 15-year career is yet another poignant symbol that the Heisei era is drawing to a close with the changeover in emperors in May 2019.
Yoshizawa announced her "graduation" on October 1st on her personal blog, setting the official ...
See Japanese porn stars up close and musically on August 23rd at Sexy Idol Music Festa 2015.
It's apparently Japan's largest music event with sexy idols and is held at Studio Coast in Shin-Kiba.
"Sexy idol" is pretty ambiguous as a phrase but we can confirm that AV star Akiho Yoshizawa will be the main MC, with appearances by KÜHN, a four-piece music group comprising Saki Hatsumi, Kurea Hasumi, Riki Minato, and Saki Mizumi.
Yu Namiki, the former AV star who is now a DJ, will also be spinning some tracks. AV porn stars Saryu Usui and Luna Shimotsuki have also been announced ...
There's been a lot of political tension over the last two years between Korea and Japan. Territorial disputes. Yasukuni Shrine. Comfort women.
But when all's said and done, there's one great unifier: sex.
Korea does not have a very vibrant porn industry and Korean men look to JAV to fill their needs.
"Yadong" means a porn video you watch online or on your computer. Whatever they think about certain rocks in the sea between Japan and the peninsula, almost all men in Korea love Japanese anime and Japanese porn.
Due to local restrictions you don't have the major porn makers in Korea like ...
This is a question we often ask ourselves about Japanese pornography.
With tens of thousands of actresses working in the industry, said to be the biggest in the world, which star has appeared in the most titles?
Apparently we weren't alone in wondering this, since some Japanese netizens have done the maths. Naturally the results steer older since the longer a career, the more titles you would have under your belt... though we never have any objections to a sexy Japanese MILF or two!
1. Yumi Kazuma (1,646 films)
2. Tsubomi (1,370 films)
3. Rio Hamasaki (1,201 films)
4. Reiko ...
Yesterday Tokyo Kinky went along to the opening day of Pink Tokyo, Japan's new adult expo at Differ Ariake on Tokyo Bay.
Running until Sunday March 2nd, Pink Tokyo is a chance to interact with sex toy makers and see events with Japanese porn stars and idols.
This is the first year it has been held and it was clearly a "test", since it was smaller than we expected. We still remember the Adult Treasure Expo AET at Makuhari Messe in 2007, which was bigger, with more booths and more interesting things happening around the "fair" part of the event. At Pink Tokyo there weren't any ...
Just spotted this great pic recently.
The top stars of Japanese porn are all lined up just the way we want to see them. Which one is your favorite?!
I personally like Akiho Yoshizawa (吉沢明歩), down in the bottom left, the ...
