Osaka firefighters suspended from duty for appearing in Japanese porn film
August 8, 2013
/ Tadashi Anahori
Shijonawate City in Osaka prefecture has punished two twenty-year-old firefighters with a six-month suspension.
What did they do wrong?
They appeared in a porn film.
Firefighters in Japan have a reputation for playing the field, earning good money and spending it on girls. These two clearly wanted to combine the two by getting some extra cash for making an appearance in an adult flick.
Apparently they were approached at Suma beach near Kobe in August last year by a scout. "You've got good bodies. Would you let us film you screwing some girls?"
They then went to a nearby condo and got ...
Tsubomi documentary showcases Japanese porn queen
July 22, 2013
/ Tadashi Anahori
We love Tsubomi.
The cute JAV star, recently pregnant, has won legions of fans in Japan and rightfully so.
A documentary on the new Vice Japan channel looks at Tsubomi. It's in Japanese only but turn on the closed captions for English subtitles.
A highlight is at the start when she says she thinks Japanese people are more secretive when it comes to sex.
It doesn't go into any context or explore anything properly, just following Tsubomi around Akihabara as she looks at costumes and meets a few fans. There are some short clips from movie shoots.
There is quite a funny ...
Tsubomi is pregnant…and still doing porn
May 10, 2013
/ Tadashi Anahori
It pays to be careless sometimes, it seems.
For a Japanese porn star, despite all those nakadashi (creampie) scenes, you would think that getting pregnant was the thing they fear most. It signals if not the end of their career, at least a large blimp where they cannot work.
But not if you are as cute as the cosplayer JAV porn star Tsubomi, whose latest film is simply called "Tsubomi Pregnant."
We think the main point of the film is thus pretty obvious.
Of course, there are lots of pregnant porn films already and even pregnant women sex shops for people with lactating breasts ...
Japanese porn is a Naked Sex Art Museum
April 18, 2013
/ Tadashi Anahori
Never, never let it be said that pornography isn't cultural. Far from it. JAV is high art!
We've known this for years and now there can be no denying it with the Naked Sex Art Museum, which we have been "visiting" recently.
The Soft on Demand (SOD) title features Anri Suzuki, Ryo Akanishi, Satsuki Kirishima and Reira Serikawa in a series of scenes that recreate famous paintings... in the most artistic way possible.
The cover of course is Sandro Botticelli's Venus.
Another major obvious one is Manet's "The Luncheon on the Grass".
The original painting in itself ...
Discover the truth about Japanese homeless fetish porn
March 6, 2013
/ Tadashi Anahori
We've been "investigating" another fab genre of Japanese pornography a lot recently.
Homeless porn.
Back in 2011 we saw our first title, where a young J-girl is homeless in L.A. and has to sleep with tramps to get a place to stay.
But there are many, many more.
Some take the common "girl-in-peril" motif and have the young lady being forced to undergo something that is "dirty" or humiliating, or an incredible challenge.
Often the sex is semi-public, watched by all the other homeless guys in the community.
In general, this "humiliation" style is a frequent style in many Japanese JAV ...
Japanese AV porn star receives 100 bottles of fan semen
December 20, 2012

It's no secret that there's a lot of cum in Japanese porn.
From the ubiquitous bukkake face shot to whole "drinking semen" epics, Japanese guys like their spunk on the ladies.
Well, Japanese porn studio RADIX decided to recruit the semen of fans for JAV star Uta Kohaku's next film.
A pretty neat way not only to generate publicity and interest in the upcoming title -- but also save on expenses! (Most JAV use bukkake lotion and cream when their team's supplies run low after a long day's, ahem, shoot.)
The filming took place yesterday and so this was when Uta got to see ...
Kikaku Joyu: Japanese porn’s unsung heroines
November 1, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
We all know and love the likes of Maria Ozawa.
But something like 95% of Japanese porn is populated not by stars but by so-called kikaku joyu, or "project actresses" -- these are the unsung heroines of an industry that products 20,000 titles a year.
In the same way that American porn has anonymous fluffers doing much of the dog's work, the kikaku joyu provide the meat for all the incredible JAV porn films that involve sometimes dozens or even hundreds of actresses. They will play the "regular girl" roles -- OL, nurse, student etc.
They are typically scouted on the streets or recruited ...
Jukujo MILF Kimaka Ichijo makes JAV porn debut at age 48
October 30, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
Kimaka Ichijo (一条綺美香) has just burst onto the Japanese porn scene with her very sexy debut feature for Soft on Demand at the ripe old age of forty-eight years.
The unmarried MILF-like beauty Ichijo applied to SOD and in the making of her virgin feature she was actually embracing the body of a man for the first time in three years.
Wow, she looks amazing. Check out her G-cup!
It's being released with a lot of fanfare, including signed copies and others with her used panties attached. But we reckon just the basic movie is MORE than enough entertainment.
She's firmly in the ...
Toilet sex in Japan BDSM bondage porn
September 30, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
In Japan toilets are very special places.
They can either be somewhere terrifying -- the old style of public lavatory resembles a kind of hole in the ground which you squat over -- or bewildering -- in particular, the hi-tech electronic ones with heated seats, dozens of buttons and even voices that talk to you.
But did you know they can also be places where sexy women reside, waiting for your every command?
The Fantasy Toilet series of Japanese adult films is one of the most original and strange settings we've encountered (and that's saying a lot since JAV porn is full of ...
Magic Mirror Car: A moving one-way mirror porn truck
August 15, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
The Magic Mirror Car (or "MM Go") is a great trope that pops up in many Japanese porn films.
It takes a truck with one side converted into a "magic mirror" (one-way glass) so you can see the world outside going by while all sorts of crazy things happen in the truck -- and on camera.
The kinkiness lies in the contrast between the nudity and sex and the totally normal life on the streets outside that goes on innocuously, oblivious to the movie being filmed meters away.
Originally the JAV titles using magic mirror moving studios implied that the people outside could see in like a window, ...
