As Japan's population ages and there are ever more people over sixty, one of the challenges for the AV industry is how to adjust for a changing demographic.
One of the results is the growth of porn aimed at seniors. Expect porn starring older men and jukujo to become a major proportion of the market in the near future. (A knock-on effect is also that more and more prostitution services are catering specifically to the older customer, and that a quarter of love hotel users are over 65.)
Unlike many other places, the porn industry has not suffered the precipitous decline in DVD sales and ...
That cute nurse in that mundane clinic may not be only a nurse. She may also moonlight as a porn star.
It's a fantasy that's also a cliche -- except that is, sometimes, a spark of truth in it.
Japanese AV is built upon the hard work not only of the top performers, whose numbers are too many to start counting. There are also thousands upon thousands of uncredited "amateur" performers -- women who also work as call girls and hookers, hostesses or just regular jobs. They provide the fodder for those crazy AV titles that feature dozens of women in massive gang bangs (one example here) or those ...
Now that's what we call a retirement.
When Rin Sakuragi announced she was leaving her career in adult video at the age of 28, she (and her managers) decided to do so with a bang.
In the time since we've seen not one but three sex toys dedicated to the goddess.
Fans can sample the Rin Sakuragi AV Retirement Special Clone Onahole, a regular masturbator toy from Nippori Gift based on AV idol's pussy.
Then there's the Geki-fera Vacuum Rin Sakuragi Blowjob Onahole, an awesome entry in the bestselling series of oral sex masturbator toys.
And if that's still not enough, ...
We recently read a report in the Asahi Shimbun about the adult video scouts who operate on the streets of Tokyo, searching for the next porn talent to come walking by. If you've ever wondered how a lot of the women, especially the anonymous stars of AV with large casts, get into their jobs, it's often because they are aggressively scouted (many are also "persuaded" to move into porn from careers in modeling, gravure and hostessing). The result is an industry with an almost literally countless number of women working in it as performers at various levels.
The article was an interview with a ...
So you've seen the mega hit Makoto Shinkai anime Your Name.. Perhaps you've also seen it again in its recently released DVD form. Maybe you've even tried out the parody onahole toy.
But have you seen the Your Name. parody adult video?
Released in late June, Kimi no nawa. is the latest example of Japanese AV's penchant for parody. Previous eyebrow-raising examples of parody porn include Ultraman, wailing politician Ryutaro Nonomura, and comedienne Buruzon Chiemi (Blouson Chiemi).
It starts with the name. The 129-minute porn directed by Any Nakamura for Real Works cleverly uses a different ...
There are more than a few bars and hostess clubs where you can have your drinks poured for you by AV actresses. There is also a new bar in Kabukicho by Weekly Playboy, where patrons are served by famous gravure idols.
But until now there hasn't been a bar directly operated by an AV production company. In March, that all changed when a well-known AV maker opened a small girls bar in Kabukicho.
For the uninitiated, a girls bar is a kind of cheap hostess club, where there is a modest cover charge and the drinks are a bit more expensive than usual.
Nikkan Spa recently paid a visit to Vivi, ...
Earlier in the year we wrote about the upcoming porn debut of NMB48 idol Risako Okada. The 21-year-old did a full-frontal photo shoot to celebrate her AV release on the Muteki label under a new performer name, Miko Matsuda.
Okada/Matsuda (aka Risapoyo) was a member of the Osaka-based AKB48 sister group from 2011 to 2012.
She now joins a growing list of former AKB idols who have "graduated" on to porn careers.
Now the first pictures have appeared from here adult video, "Number 01". While the set-up of the AV seems very straightforward indeed and hardly seems to have much of a budget ...
One of the things we love about Japanese pornography is its use of parody and pastiche -- and the parody is often very topic.
This is something of a ongoing trait in Japanese adult toys in general, too, as the parody masturbators and lubes of anime, mascots, celebrities and products show. Recently we even wrote about an onahole inspired by Kumamoto Prefecture.
Examples with AV include an awesome porn based on Ultraman and one on the "wailing" Japanese politician Ryutaro Nonomura.
"Career Woman Male Fishing" may well star Nao Mizuki, but she's clearly been made to look like female ...
Here it is, folks. The moment we've been waiting for these past weeks. OK, perhaps you guys weren't as excited but this is the world we inhabit.
Former gravure and nude mode Miu Nakamura's AV debut is out and the first preview images are available.
The slinky seductress with a tight body and flat chest to die for is here in all her fully glory. We've seen it before, thanks to her frequent hair nude full-frontal photo shoots. But this is the next step up. It doesn't get any more graphic than this.
"Fade In" is released on the Muteki label, which specializes in idols and celebrities ...
After Momona Kito (Yua Mikami) and Rina Nakanishi, Risa Naruse, Eri Takamatsu, and Rumi Yonezawa, now comes another AKB-linked music idol's porn debut.
21-year-old Risako Okada, a former member of NMB48 (the Osaka sister group of AKB48), is set to release her first porn on the Muteki label, which specializes in performers switching from mainstream entertainment to AV.
She has launched her new career with a hair nude full-frontal photo shoot, which would be noteworthy in and of itself, though it also whets our appetites for the AV release coming from Muteki ...
