We promised. We delivered. More to the point, she delivered.
We said we would follow up on our post last week about the first pictures from the highly anticipated porn debut (STARS-685-VT) of ex-Fairies member Rikako Inoue, now performing as Yotsuha Kominato. We can now share actual highlights from her 250-minute adult video release as well as nude promo photos of the star.
Fans will love her sweet, slender body and its beautifully pale skin. We know we do!
The sex itself is pretty conventional, ranging from gentle bathroom intimacy, some banging on a sofa, and the usual kind of ...
Rikako Inoue (Yotsuha Kominato) porn debut: First pictures
June 24, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Anticipation continues to build over the porn debut of former Fairies music idol Rikako Inoue as Yotsuha Kominato, which may well become one of the biggest AV of the summer.
While the upcoming release from Soft on Demand is still largely under wraps, with only very tame interview or promo videos available online to tease viewers, we do finally have the first preview images to enjoy.
They suggest the video will contain bath sex, masturbation, and Kominato's "first" time with a man. In one shot, she's wearing lingerie and a blindfold as a (much older) male partner manipulates her ...
An interview with ex-porn star Kaho Shibuya
June 3, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
The former Japanese adult video star Kaho Shibuya recently sat down for a candid and insightful interview with Tokyo Weekender, where she talked about her porn career and subsequent work.
Kaho Shibuya (not to be confused with similarly busty former gravure idol Yuri Shibuya) has actually had a lot of jobs in her time, including a baseball reporter, English teacher, and adult toy reviewer.
It was this last job that led to her four-year stint in JAV. As she outlines in her cautionary book about the industry, Everything Girls Should Know About the JAV Industry, her agency pushed her into ...
Readers got understandably excited when we reported in May on the upcoming adult video debut of former Fairies music idol Rikako Inoue.
Now active as a gravure idol and singer under the name Yotsuha Kominato, the beautiful starlet is making her entry into the porn industry with a highly anticipated release from SODstar on June 27 (unfortunately, we don't have a video code yet).
Intriguingly, the porn release is being promoted by Soft on Demand alongside her new solo music release, suggesting it was part of the deal they made with her or that they are even involved with the production or ...
Japanese adult toys roundup: Seven of the best new releases

Here's a selection of seven of the best newly released Japanese masturbators and adult toys available internationally from our friends at Kanojo Toys.
Let's start off with a biggie. The always-reliable A-One has produced the Gyaru Balls Licker, a very realistically designed blowjob mouth toy that offers the delight of a slutty Tokyo gyaru swallowing your cock and balls, and taking them down into her stimulating throat.
If blowjobs are what you fancy, get one from an expert with the Mio Kimijima Blowjob by a Goddess Mouth Masturbator, a vibrating blowjob mouth toy. Of course, this is based ...
Former top adult video star Yuri Komuro calls for ban on unsimulated sex in porn
May 19, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Given the wide-ranging discussions now taking place about introducing a new law with major implications for the porn industry in Japan, we wanted to share a related reform proposal from a few years ago.
Given that the potential new law is intended to protect young and vulnerable performers from coercion, increase performer rights, and give them more control over how their bodies are used, we wonder if anyone is taking note of what a former adult video actress suggested back in late 2018, when the initial coercion issue was in the spotlight.
Aged 43 at the time, the retired porn star Yuri ...
Rikako Inoue (井上理香子), a former member of the now-defunct idol group Fairies, is to make her porn debut as Yotsuha Kominato (小湊よつ葉).
Fairies disbanded in 2020, after which Inoue (who was a member of the group throughout its roughly nine-year run) nominally retired from the entertainment industry and became a company employee for two years.
However, the 25-year-old officially adopted the name Yotsuha Kominato in March this year and returned to gravure with a shoot for Weekly Playboy and tie-in 57-page photo book.
This month, she released the music video for a solo song, ...
Now this is what we call going out with a bang. Top Japanese adult video star Shoko Takahashi has retired from porn, as announced in April, and released her final title (MIDV-099) this month.
Of course, JAV is more than just videos, and Takasho has also put out an array of tie-in toys over the years, from onaholes to lubes and even vibrators.
To complement her last ever porn release, she has teamed up with top adult brand EXE to produce the Japanese Real Oppai Shoko Takahashi Breasts. Given that Takasho's greatest asset is her chest, and her unusual inverted nipples, this is a no-brainer ...
New law to allow porn performers to cancel contracts, boost safeguards for AV stars
April 28, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
MeToo has finally caught up to the Japanese film industry, with multiple allegations of assault and harassment against directors Hideo Sakaki and Sion Sono as well as actor Houka Kinoshita.
Amid concerns over coercion in porn, politicians in Japan have been working on creating a legal exemption for adult video contracts to the newly lowered age of adulthood in Japan (from 20 to 18).
Though the move, which was prompted by the realization that the legal change this spring would remove the safeguard for porn whereby underage performers required a parental guardian to sign for them, has enjoyed ...
Ex-porn star Kizuna Sakura opens ramen restaurant chain
April 21, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
One of the fascinations of this blog is with the afterlives of idols, whether music, gravure, or porn. What do the hordes of women do after their (frequently brief) moment in the spotlight is over?
Kizuna Sakura was active in adult video from 2014 to 2020. Now aged 32, she has begun the next stage of her left and career by opening a Niigata-themed ramen restaurant in December 2020 in Tokyo's Suginami ward.
She funded her enterprise through an ambitious crowdfunding campaign, which included such perks as a one-on-one talk and even a "fake wedding ceremony" and one-night stay at a hot spring ...
