Almost anyone who has watched a fair amount of Japanese porn will have stumbled upon a particular swimming pool, known simply as "that pool" (rei no pool). It is a certain location that for various reasons -- not least aesthetic ones -- became a go-to choice for porn producers from the 2000s.
The pool was so famous that it got its own tribute book, edited by a "research group" dedicated to the site and published in 2013.
If you like your porn wet and with a swimwear fetish, then you will love the productions that use the pool location.
It is, however, not a regular pool but one that is ...
The Weekly Playboy bar in Kabukicho was a big success back in 2017. We were reminded of it -- and how few chances there are to encounter the adult industry in a bricks-and-mortar setting other than just a shop in the likes of Akihabara -- when we read the exciting news that top Japanese porn production and distribution company Soft on Demand is opening what is essentially a sex theme park in Tokyo.
Ostensibly, the building will host restaurants and bars staffed by genuine porn performers, following the precedent established by Weekly Playboy's bar, where real gravure idols served ...
Detailed detective work on the part of Japanese netizens have identified newbie porn star Sora Minamino (南乃そら) as Miyako Torase (虎瀬美也子), a former member of idol group Oyasumi Sekai.
Torase was active in Oyasumi Sekai from November 2018 to April 2019. If the netizens are right, it would seem that she struggled to find a post-idol career or otherwise specifically chose to enter AV with the right offer.
Sora Minamino released her first adult video title on September 1 with a splashy 149-minute feature (MIDE-812) from Moodyz.
The video, which nominally follows ...
Train station toilets can be unpleasant places and may not even be suitable for answering a call of nature. The multipurpose toilets are, of course, wheelchair-accessible. That means they are larger and can host some more intriguing activities, such as trysts between couples. This common trope in porn and white-collar male fantasies was reinforced by comedian Ken Watabe's much-reported affair, which was conducted mostly within the walls of such a restroom in a parking lot.
Tokyo police recently sent two YouTubers to the prosecutors for indictment on charges of trespassing and disturbing the ...
Tama Toys is never content with just making adult toys, it seems. The industrious and reliable brand continues to innovate and push its lineup beyond the conventional bounds of sex toys, encompassing even towels and books.
After reporting last week on its great recent selection of adult face masks, we wanted to introduce some of its T-shirts.
The most obvious, yet discreet, choices are the T-shirts that are branded with Tama Toys logos. Of course, only those in the know will recognize what you are wearing, so walk down the street with your head held high.
Japanese adult video fans will ...
The latest minor celebrity to make the crossover to porn is Riri Nanatsumori (七ツ森りり), who previously worked under the name Reika Matsumoto (松本鈴香).
Born in 1995 and blessed with an F-cup bust, Riri Nanatsumori is half-Japanese, half-Filipino. Along with the relatively recent porn debut of Japanese-Portuguese performer Karen Ishida, there is growing demand for so-called "haafu" AV idols.
She built up a career as Reika Matsumoto initially as a model for the magazine CHOKi CHOKi and as a host of a music TV show.
She changed her professional name in July when she switched to ...
It's the battle of the universities! Waseda versus Keio: which student is hotter?
We previously wrote about the porn debut of a Waseda University student.
That same student, Mao Watanabe (渡辺まお), has now teamed up with Saiko Yatsuhashi (八ツ橋さい子), a graduated of Keio, for a nude photo shoot that is a clever take on the traditional rivalry between the two colleges, the top private universities in Tokyo. Not only is this a full-frontal "hair nude," it also has some serious lesbian tones.
Saiko Yatsuhashi is 27 years old and already an experienced JAV performer with multiple ...
Netizens have discovered that a man recently arrested for threatening to kill the director of an anime may have appeared as an extra in an adult video.
In early June, the 21-year-old Fukuta Kishimoto was arrested by Tokyo police on suspicion of posting to an internet bulletin board that he would stab the director of Kemono Friends and "feed his meat to cannibals." He also said he would set fire to the production office, chillingly echoing the horrific attack on the Kyoto Animation office in July 2019 that left 36 dead.
Kishimoto has admitted to the allegations that he made the online ...
Producers are promoting Mao Watanabe (渡辺まお) as a 19-year-old, second-year college student, releasing her first AV (1EOMOI00009) on May 22 on SOD Create.
Who doesn't like a good porn debut? And who isn't intrigued by the performer's path to porn?
Fortunately, or not, millennials leave online footprints. Inspired netizens swiftly got to work and managed to apparently confirm and identify the student, tracking down old photos and an online paper trail. Mao Watanabe is indeed a student from Miyagi, as advertised, and now attending at the prestigious Waseda University in ...
The Japanese adult video star Yui Hatano has recreated a virtual porn set on the Nintendo Switch game Animal Crossing.
Hatano then proudly shared the results on Twitter (tip of the hat to @Genzolico for pointing us to this), quickly achieving hundreds of retweets and thousands of likes.
The porn performer's avatar is wearing black underwear that contrasts with her hair -- which is blue.
The porn set itself seems to be a one-room apartment, which is a staple of adult video. Note the generously sized box of tissues by the bed and the funky lava lamp (though we are not sure if we have ...
