The TikTok star Kanna Sannoki (三木環奈) is making her porn debut this month with a release from Moodyz Diva. The 154-minute release (MIDV00983), directed by Trendy Yamaguchi, comes out on DVD on December 17 (it's already out on streaming). Kanna Sannoki is advertised as a current college student, though we suspect her beauty and boobs would be a real distraction in the seminar room. The powers that be clearly have faith in Kanna Sannoki's sales potential, because she already has another release on the slate. It's a nude "image video" without sex, but revels in the allure of ...

Former Japanese porn star Rei Chinatsu (千夏麗) has been arrested for an alleged romance scam with a man she met through social media. The 26-year-old has appeared in several adult video releases, with 12 titles currently listed on Fanza, Japan's largest online porn retailer, though this includes anthology-type releases with footage from multiple performers' previous releases. Most of her releases have a schoolgirl theme and seem to date from 2019. Her other performer name was Nozomi Nakase. She is not currently active as a professional performer, it seems. The allegation is that ...

Which Japanese adult video stars look like other Japanese celebrities? Some Japanese porn performers have a striking resemblance to well-known models, idols, actresses, and other celebrities. This is sometimes just coincidence but the likeness is also often ruthlessly exploited in the marketing for certain releases, even to the extent of the choice of performer name. We listed a few examples below. Mitsuki Takahata and Minamo. Minami Minegishi and Asuka Momose. Kanna Hashimoto and Kanon Kanade (and something tells us that the marketing department was fully aware of the ...

In a recent interview with Spa!, Japanese porn star Marina Shiraishi (白石茉莉奈) discussed some of the background to her highly successful career. Shiraishi made her debut back in 2013 and is now 38 years old, making her a jukujo mature performer. But many people are not perhaps aware that she is married and has a child, both from before her entry in the industry. It's more common for JAV performers to marry after they retire and those who do marry during their careers can end in divorce. "I thought I was an unusual case," she admits. Her son is now 15 years old -- and we truly ...

As we write this, Japan is heading to the polls in an election that might see the ruling LDP lose its majority in the House of Representatives. Of course, we're less interested in the podgy faces of the LDP policos, most of whom should be off collecting their pensions by now instead of running the country, and more in the possible success of candidates like ex-gravure model Chisato Morishita, still a hottie at age 43 (and unmarried too). She's already failed once in her bid to win a seat. Will she succeed this time and brighten up the stale corridors of power with her slinky charms? This ...

We could, if we were so willing, fill the digital pages of this blog solely with news about porn debuts. After all, incredible woman make incredible debuts in the JAV industry basically every week. That would probably be as exhausting as it would be exhaustive, but we hope you'll forgive us from indulging this temptation a bit, a mere two days after we reported on the porn debut of former Malcolm Mask McLaren idol mone as Tomo Shiraiwa. Because frankly, we think this one looks awesome. Yui Sayama (佐山由依) debuts this week for E-Body in a 163-minute release (EBWH00168) directed by ...

Yua Mikami is pursuing a career in modeling and apparel, though has faced some criticism over her association with other brands, and former adult video star Minami Aizawa recently announced she would no longer use her performer name in her post-JAV career. Among the many things that porn stars have expertise at, understanding about hygiene, physical health, and STDs and STIs surely ranks near the top. As regular ...

Our last post was about the successful, high-profile porn star Ai Hongo's unfortunate sex scandal that has forced her suspend her career. While we will miss the slinky Ai Hongo, the truth is that there are lots of fine ladies out there vying to take her place in the Japanese adult video industry. New performers make their debuts every week. One who has caught our eye this month is Ito Asahi (朝陽いと), a busty former music idol who has made the switch to porn with her first release on Moodyz. Her debut (MIFD00518), a 118-minute release, came out on September 13. It makes a lot of ...
