The top Japanese porn star Minamo has appeared in an advertising campaign for leading Japanese lingerie brand Ravijour.
She is modeling various holidays-themed underwear items that are now available from Ravijour stores and online. She is also holding a promotional meet-and-greet event for the brand in Shinjuku in January, where you even get a signed Minamo-Ravijour mug.
We adore Minamo and she looks ravishing in the Ravijour lingerie, which comes in an erotic red. In keeping with the "holiday collection" theme, the lingerie is festively colored. A Christmas campaign for a ...
The Japanese porn star Nanami Yokomiya (横宮七海) has died. She was just 21 years old (she would have turned 22 in February next year). Her death was announced on social media over the weekend by her friend, Moratorium Hamada.
She made her debut in the industry 2021 and continued to appear regularly in adult video productions. She was best known for Lolita-style (rori-kei) roles.
Fanza has 248 releases for her name as of writing, including several yet to come out later this month (presuming these are not canceled).
Hamada has shared messages that she and Yokomiya exchanged before, ...
Former top adult video star Sola (Sora) Aoi has given her first on-camera interview in four years.
Once the most famous Japanese porn star, and popular also in other parts of Asia, Sora Aoi announced her marriage at the start of 2018 to DJ Non.
When she then announced she was pregnant at the end of that year, she experienced quite a lot of abuse on social media. Despite not appearing in porn since 2011, many trolls still criticized her for becoming a mother, saying it was "sad for the children."
Now aged 42, Sola Aoi has two kids with DJ Non. She gave birth to twins in May 2019.
She ...
The former gravure idol Shizuha Takimoto (瀧本雫葉) is making her adult video debut.
The gorgeous, pale-skinned beauty's first porn production comes out via Prestige's Genesis label on November 24.
In addition to the 230-minute release (CTKTGNI-002), the 24-year-old has also just released her first nude photo book in mid-September as a Kindle and on-demand paperback.
If we are honest, we never knew who she was, which left us wondering if her gravure career was very obscure or she worked as a gradol under a totally different name.
It seems that most of the internet ...
Early last year, we wrote about the porn debut of Japanese TikToker Unpai. This was exciting enough in its own right, but seemed to signal something of a trend in Japanese adult video industry at the time, as several TikTokers made the shift to porn after acquiring a fandom on the video platform.
Unpai was followed by biracial beauty Okogetan and Ichika-sensei.
Like a lot of JAV performers, many of these debuts, despite benefiting from extra publicity and interest due to their existing fame and popularity, are destined to have short careers in the highly competitive world of Japanese ...
The former Japanese porn star Shunka Ayami is said to be dating the male singer Ryoichi Tsukada.
The 36-year-old Tsukada is a member of the boy band ABC-Z, which is part of the roster of troubled (and recently renamed and soon-to-dissolve) agency Johnny & Associates.
Ayami reportedly introduced Tsukada to her parents last month, and they have supposedly taken overseas trips together.
Weekly Bunshun claimed the scoop when earlier this week it published photos of the two together traveling by Shinkansen. They certainly make a glamorous couple.
Tsukada took a well-publicized break ...
The recent edition of Feti Fes in Tokyo was a packed event with the usual wide array of fetishes and subcultures.
The festival on September 17 had around 100 booths of both individual exhibitors and groups across five floors, showcasing ero-cosplay, debusen, zentai, and much, much more. Many of the women work as freelance porn stars and ero-cosplayers, though various subculture/fetish circles are also at the venue.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to attend in person due to other commitments that day, but fortunately DXBeppin-r.com could and has put together a nice photo report with portraits ...
Aya Takanashi, the former porn star turned columnist on all things JAV, is back with another article about the porn industry.
This time, she's spilled the beans on why some performers have rules about which other performers they are willing to work with.
In her latest column for the monthly magazine Spa!, she enumerates some of the major reasons for why co-performers are "banned" by certain AV stars.
This is not insignificant, since while the AV industry is flooded with thousands of female performers, the number of men performing regularly is tiny. If you get on the bad side of one of ...
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 ...
