Print publishing is in dire straits, so people have said for years now, and magazines and newspapers have particularly struggled. Titles large and small have folded or seriously downsized.
Even Japan's mammoth adult video and porn industry -- often said to be the largest of its kind in the world -- is not immune to this downward trend, even though DVD sales are still relatively healthy.
The eponymous magazine put out by porn giant Soft on Demand will end with the September issue. Issue 99 features a suitably commemorative cover featuring multiple eleven top Japanese porn stars in revealing ...
Oh, Japanese porn and your parodic tendencies, is nothing safe from your tentacles?
From a real-life sexual assault on a peer to a wacky TV commercial and even a hit zombie movie, AV consistently finds new subject matters to parody and imitate.
But this is the first kids' show that we've seen parodied in this way.
Out this month on the Million label, a new AV starring Kizuna Sakura (84mkmp00284) shamelessly parodies the NHK TV quiz show Chiko-chan ni shikarareru! (Chiko-chan will scold you).
The appeal of the latter is mostly down to the central character, a five-year-old girl who yells ...
We recently shared the tale of the female elementary school teacher who was exposed for her amateur porn performer past.
This kind of things cuts both ways: male authority figures may also have their own secrets.
A male math high school teacher has apparently lost his job because former students found out that he had once appeared in a porn video with Mihono Sakaguchi (aka Mihono). It then spread like wildfire and resulted in his termination, according to unverified online reports.
In the 2015 release (WANZ00369) from WANZ, the unnamed teacher was one of the nameless lucky guys who gets ...
Those authority figures may have much more colorful pasts than you realize.
An amateur porn performer credited as "Ayaka" who appeared in a Siro-Hame.net release a few years ago is now happily working as an elementary school teacher in Sapporo, Hokkaido.
We won't write her real name here because we don't want to get sued. But netizens have tracked the story down, and also the repercussions when it first leaked after the story got out shortly before the AV was released. An attempt was then apparently made to stop Siro Hame from releasing the video, to no avail. The producers simply exploited ...
It's hardly a secret that we love porn. Otherwise we wouldn't be very good at our jobs.
But we also know the value of discretion. We wouldn't, for example, wish the whole world to know about our viewing habits, not because we think there is anything wrong with them per se, but just because it's one of all kinds of personal information we wouldn't want to reveal.
It seems that not everyone is so circumspect.
This otaku was snapped, for instance, riding on the train. Not special about that. You can see people who obviously fall into the category of "otaku" in public all the time in Tokyo, ...
The ostensibly retired adult video star Yui Akane (朱音ゆい) has been arrested on an obscenity charge.
The 30-year-old hottie was arrested with the scout Komei Hisada, 34, on suspicion of broadcasting nude videos in breach of obscenity laws.
This looks like a case of the police cracking down on an independent operator. People trying to make a quick buck by streaming or distributing porn online, bypassing the mainstream commercial platforms and probably infringing on censorship laws, always run the risk of attracting too much attention from rivals and authorities.
According to Tokyo ...
One of this blog's ongoing obsessions is the open secret in the Japanese idol world, be it gravure, music, porn, or general tarento and celebrities: the casting couch.
And it really is rampant, it seems, in almost all corners of the industry. Even among seiyu/seiyuu (voice actresses).
The "sexy actress" (a euphemism for porn star used by the mainstream media) Cocona Yuzuki recently shared some of these secrets on television.
A former chika (underground) idol, seiyuu, and now adult video star, Cocona (or Kokona) Yuzuki appeared on a late-night TV Tokyo show on June 6.
She explained that if ...
The latest porn release (HND00655) by former NMB48 idol Miko Matsuda (originally known as Risako Okada) is an apparently shameless parody of the Maho Yamaguchi incident.
As was later widely reported, Yamaguchi was sexually assaulted by two fans in December 2018 after her address was inadvertently given to the stalkers by another member of the group. Exposing the exploitative conditions under which idols labor, the management did not acknowledge what had happened until Yamaguchi herself went public. "Mahohon," as she is popular known, first had to issue an apology for the "trouble" she ...
Another Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome idol has made her adult video debut.
Continuing a trend that has included countless former AKB group idols and Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome ladies like Nana Nanase and Yu Ito, Rina Iijima (飯島里奈) will release her first AV as a digital download from May 25th and then as a physical release on June 1st.
The former fourth-generation Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome member Iijima has now become Yui Nagase (永瀬ゆい) for the 150-minute Yui Nagase, the 149-cm Cute Girl Who Came from Sotokanda -- Fuck Stage (MIFD00070) from Moodyz. The title echoes the debut of ...
As we prepare for the extended Golden Week holiday in Japan from this weekend, we're naturally looking around for adult video content to keep us entertained.
We spotted a porn debutant who really should be on everyone's to-watch list.
Rena Kuroi (くろいれな) released her first AV from Kuki on April 2nd. "Hatsuhana" (ADZ327) is meant to be one of just two AVs that the 22-year-old Rena will make.
According to her official profile, she lives in Kamakura and is an "Earthling," which is reassuring (though alien sex is a whole other subgenre of JAV). Her second (and potentially final) AV ...
