One of Japan's top adult video idols, Mion Sonoda, has announced her retirement from the industry in October, ostensibly for reasons of personal health. AV performers frequently "retire" or "graduate," though this can sometimes just mean they reappear under a new contract with a different agency and production company -- and using a new professional name. But this time it seems like a genuine retirement and Sonoda has announced the news with a personal message for her fans. She entered the AV industry at the ripe old age of 19 and has since spent over four years delighting fans with her ...

If a job needs doing, hire a professional. And that's what the makers of the The Naked Director did. For a drama series about the adult video pioneer Toru Muranishi, you need to include plenty of sex on camera. We've already looked at the nude scenes in the Netflix series by the likes of newcomer Misato Morita, gravure idol Ruri Shinato, and former AKB48 Ami Tomite, among others. The makers even threw in a sex scene with a non-Japanese actress, Jade Albany Pietrantonio. But for a truly realistic result, you need actual porn stars. And so the producers sensibly hired Nanami Kawakami ...

Sometimes sex can feel so good, it's like you are flying. Wait, what? All right, that's not the best metaphor for describing the euphoria of hot sex. But apparently it's the inspiration behind this strange new adult video from Golden Time. The porn release (gdhh00165) is 230 minutes of a woman being thrown into the air by the "super high-speed piston" that is her partner's penis. The woman in question is meant to be schoolgirl virgin. But when she rides her male lover in the cowgirl position, her feet start to leave the ground with his thrusting. That's quite a bounce. So not ...

Anticipation is building over the adult video debut of a lady being trumpeted as the "beauty from Kobe." Known only as Mino (美乃), the goddess has an insane F-cup (?) bust and will apparently release her first porn DVD at the end of October from Eightman Production. Whoever she is and wherever she came from is irrelevant at this point. I mean, just look at that body. And at those breasts. The hair nude (full-frontal) shoot photos have already set the Japanese internet on fire. Let's now see if that translates into DVD sales and then an extended porn career for this ...

It seems that top Japanese porn star Nanami Matsumoto (松本菜奈実) has a fan or admirer in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. The J-cup AV idol shared on Twitter with her followers that she was surprised to receive a notification in the mail from the LDP congratulating her on joining the party -- and enclosing her party membership card. She claims to have done no such thing and is confused as to how the LDP got ahold of her address. Could it be a simple bureaucratic slip-up? Or did a worker in the party just really want to make contact with her, and abused his power to find ...

We have continued to follow the nudity and sex scenes on display in the Netflix Japanese-language serial The Naked Director, which charts the incredible career of Japanese porn giant Toru Muranishi. Following our look at the nude sex scenes by gravure idol Ruri Shinato and actress Ami Tomite, we will focus this time on the nudity by Misato Morita. The lesser-known yet beautiful 22-year-old actress Misato Morita (森田望智) plays Kaoru Kuroki, the eventual AV superstar. In one episode early on, we see what she looks like masturbating in the shower. The scene also includes a realistic ...

We recently introduced the great Netflix drama series The Naked Director, which charts the rise and fall of adult video legend Toru Muranishi during the 1980s and 1990s. Now we want to look in more detail at some of the sex and nudity it depicts. The choice of Netflix to show the series is an apt one, since then it is now bound by the strange rules of mainstream Japanese broadcasting that forbids actual nudity. Being a streaming channel, Netflix can do the subject matter justice by allowing some actual bare flesh on screen. One of the most naked is the gravure idol Ruri Shinato -- long a ...

We previously introduced the legendary porn impressario Toru Muranishi when a documentary about him came out in Japan -- specifically, the last gasp of his major releases when he tried to create one of the most ambitious porn films ever shot. The pioneer of POV shots and arrested several times over the years, Toru Muranishi is perhaps the most famous adult video director and producer from the 1980s and 1990s. That fame is set to reach new audiences with the release of a new Japanese Netflix drama starring Takayuki Yamada. The Naked Director charts the rise of Muranishi's porn production ...

We frequently follow news of Japanese porn debuts and there always seems to be something novel in the announcements, from college girls to hostesses, gravure idols, actresses, and so on. But we think this is the first time we've heard of a professional mahjong player making the switch to adult video. With a face like gradol Eimi Matsushima and the slinky body of an angel, Minami Nakanishi (中西南) has opted for a mahjong-themed, 131-minute JAV debut release (1SDMU00939), which came out in July from SOD Request and is directed by ANZO. Naturally it involves sex on top of a mahjong ...

Japanese porn and adult parodies are apparently getting faster and faster. The new Makoto Shinkai anime, Weathering with You, is still in movie theaters and dominating the Japanese box office. Masturbation With You is an "ejaculation app" whose name and design shamelessly parodies the Shinkai film (天気の子 vs. 天気のマ●コ). The publicity image shows a porn star (can anyone help us identify her?) fingering herself furiously in the center, or preparing to munch on a dildo or squeeze her nipples in the other pictures. As far as we can tell, this is currently just a concept, a ...
