YouTuber Kei recently posted a video that is generating quite a lot of discussion and views.
Well, given its provocative and click-baity title, it's not surprising: What the Japanese Think of Japanese Porn.
As Kei says, "Japan is famous for many things: its rich culture, Hello Kitty, and porn." Yeah, put that on the 2020 Olympic Games posters.
He then proceeds to ask several young Japanese men and women for their views about Japanese AV, or porn.
Well, if one gentleman is to believed, men watch AV because of "certain needs" and "stress relief". That's quite the euphemism. ...
Shoko Takasaki stunned us when she made her porn debut earlier this year as Shoko Takahashi.
Though her switch to AV came because she was mired in a prostitution scandal, her release on the Muteki label was such a roaring success that is going to release a second film on September 1st. "G-cup Perfect Body Celebrity Shoko Takahashi" is being released by Moodyz as part of the AV Open 2016 series.
Takasaki/Takahashi has also been busy with several hair nude (full-frontal nude) shoots, showing off her gorgeous G-cup body for all the world to see.
Some of these are grainy scans, but ...
The recent interest in Japanese AV performers' labor and human rights continues to develop. It's one of the big stories of the year so far.
Following the arrest mere days ago of a porn performer agency for forcing its roster of women to appear in porn and other recent developments like a damning report and seminar on the issue of exploitation and trafficking, now comes news that former AV star Mariko Kawana has launched a new orgnization to help.
There are already groups like Lighthouse: Center for Human Trafficking Victims (formerly Polaris Project Japan) and Human Rights Now (HRN) as ...
The AV industry in Japan is not all take, take, take. It likes to give back, too.
The "boob aid" annual event is one of the best examples of this, in which porn stars let their breasts be groped by ordinary members of the public in order to raise money for AIDS charities.
Now Soft on Demand and Japanese porn stars have come together (no pun) to help save the planet.
The Do Eco website looks like a porn video streaming site, but don't be fooled. While it's not fully safe for work, there's no sex or nudity. And it's all for a good cause.
It features nine AV performers, including ...
The stalker who stabbed music idol Mayu Tomita may have appeared anonymously in Japanese porn as an uncredited, amateur performer.
The 27-year-old Tomohiro Iwazaki stabbed the underground idol in around 20 places with a 8.2cm knife after taking the bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo to wait at a station near where she was holding a concert.
Tomita reminds in critical condition while Iwazaki is in police custody. The case has generated a storm of negative press about the police response and Japan's problem with stalking. After the horrific murder in 2013 of high-school student Saaya ...
Following a sex scandal (alleged prostitution!), the gravure idol Shoko Takasaki has made her porn debut on the Muteki AV label, which specializes in porn featuring former idols and actors.
Ahead of her debut as "Shoko Takahashi" (changing her names for legal reasons after she left her previous agency), our voluptuous lady posed semi-nude for some ravishing shots...
Though there was some confusion over the rumors of Takasaki's switch from gravure to porn, the naysayers have been proved wrong and these images reveal what a delight the results appear to be...
Behold some initial ...
Known for her perfect body and gorgeous G-cup bust, Shoko Takasaki was until late last year one of the top rising gravure idols in Japan and a potential star in the general entertainment industry.
But the gravure world is a fickle one and idols are sometimes more desperate for money than you might think, plus quickly learn that their looks and bodies are their top advantage in a ruthless industry where management expects to sleep with new talent.
In September, images surfaced that seemed to show her engaging in enjo kosai (compensated dating, a euphemism for prostitution), causing her to ...
Did voice actress and singer Emi Niita appear in a Japanese porn film in 2008?
The 30-year-old cutie is best known for voicing Honoka Kosaka in Love Live! She also appeared in last year's Kohaku Uta Gassen.
But before she was famous she may have appeared in an AV from the series "Amateur Illustrated Encyclopedia". At least, that's what's being alleged by a tabloid and is currently causing explosions online.
We can't confirm the story. Her agency has denied it and threatened to sue. Fans are parsing the women in the film (which has jumped up the DMM adult rankings because of the scandal) ...
This is a working list of idols from AKB48 or sister groups like SKE48 who have graduated onto second careers in nude modeling and/or adult video (AV).
There are rumored to be others but these are what we know of. Share if there are others!
Momona Kito
The most high-profile recent graduate into the porn industry, Momona Kito starred in an ostensibly one-off porn release by Muteki as Yua Mikami. It was such a hit, she has since decided to do more and make a whole career of it.
Rina Nakanishi
Rina Nakanishi was the pioneer, laying the ground for the other idols who have followed in her ...
It seems that Japanese AV actress Mei Matsumoto isn't content with all the cocks she has during her day job. She also wants some in her private life.
Specifically, if a tweet is to be believed, she seems to want some interracial action.
She appears to be dating Philip Minoru Kimura, a K1 kickboxer born in 1993 in Brazil.
Judging by his name and looks, he has some Japanese blood in him. We wonder if it's his physique or Latin charm that Mei digs. Hey, we can kick butt ...
