Tama Toys has already shown us what AI can do to design masturbator toys with the bestselling Artificial Intelligence Vagina onahole series. Now comes the inevitable next step: AI porn. An AI-generated adult video produced by h.m.p. stars a digitally created performer called Ai Kihana (木花あい). The 35-minute video (41AIBV0001) claims to be the world's first such AI porn release. It comes out December 22 on DVD and Blu-ray. We will have to withhold judgment until we view the actual footage, but the Ai Kihana's face is attractive, yet does have that uncanny valley kind of ...

The former gravure idol Shizuha Takimoto (瀧本雫葉) is making her adult video debut. The gorgeous, pale-skinned beauty's first porn production comes out via Prestige's Genesis label on November 24. In addition to the 230-minute release (CTKTGNI-002), the 24-year-old has also just released her first nude photo book in mid-September as a Kindle and on-demand paperback. If we are honest, we never knew who she was, which left us wondering if her gravure career was very obscure or she worked as a gradol under a totally different name. It seems that most of the internet ...

Japanese adult video studio Faleno is to release a porn parody of Colabo, an organization that helps women in need. This has ignited a huge amount of attention this week, but the context requires some explanation for the uninitiated. Colabo runs a shelter for victims of sexual and domestic violence called the Tsubomi Cafe, which is effectively a large pink bus. It can often be found in Kabukicho, which attracts young runaways and desperate women who may be drawn into prostitution or compensated dating. In a very bizarre turn of events, the organization and its activities found themselves ...

The recent edition of Feti Fes in Tokyo was a packed event with the usual wide array of fetishes and subcultures. The festival on September 17 had around 100 booths of both individual exhibitors and groups across five floors, showcasing ero-cosplay, debusen, zentai, and much, much more. Many of the women work as freelance porn stars and ero-cosplayers, though various subculture/fetish circles are also at the venue. Unfortunately, we weren't able to attend in person due to other commitments that day, but fortunately DXBeppin-r.com could and has put together a nice photo report with portraits ...

You might remember Chika Yuki (or Yuuki) (結城ちか) from back in the late 2010s. The formidably busty gravure idol made her debut in 2014 (when she still at school) and enjoyed some initial success, but then left her agency and switched to another name -- Chika Takahashi -- in 2020, followed by yet another name -- Maiha Hinata -- in 2021. All this seemed to suggest her gradol career was in free fall. Despite her obvious talents and assets that made her more than qualified for the job, it's a competitive industry that favors the flavor of the month for cover shoots and big gigs. She ...

Japan's much-publicized, controversial new porn law that passed last year was ostensibly conceived to introduce safeguards against performer coercion. Is it actually doing its job? It's perhaps too early to say, though many major adult video stars were publicly opposed to the legislation. The newly established rules on contracts and paperwork quickly claimed its first victim, when a production firm executive was arrested in December for misleading performers and uploading uncensored material. Concerns, though, were soon raised about the potential loophole in the law regard private and ...

We have grown used to Japanese porn stars' prior careers as music idols, gravure models, and so on. What's often so exciting about their entry into adult video is that those worlds generally don't allow the women to have relationships publicly (because it spoils the illusion that you could date the idol). This is similar with the Takarazuka Revue, a long-running all-female company that puts on musicals in Osaka and Tokyo. Some of the most famous actresses in Japan started off life as members of the company, though it is something of a closed eco-system, putting on a very particular type of ...

Last year, police in Hong Kong cracked down on foreign sex workers, arresting several women including former Japanese porn star Noa Aizawa. It's well known that active and former adult video performers do sex work. It can be especially lucrative to engage in such work outside Japan, particularly other parts of Asia, where JAV is immensely popular. If your career is flagging in Japan or you want a change of pace, you can enjoy a good lifestyle with affluent clients abroad. It seems that situation in Hong Kong is much the same, with media reporting the arrest on September 5 of 11 members of a ...

The tabloids are all of a flutter over rumors that recently retired top porn star Yua Mikami (30) is sleeping with not one but two boy band singers. According to the Weekly Bunshun, Kento Senga (32) of Kis-My-Ft2 spent around three hours at Mikami's apartment on the night of August 31. A few hours later, he was apparently followed by Kento Nagao (21) of Naniwa Danshi. The report ignited something of a Twitter firestorm in early September. It's not the first time that Mikami has found herself at the center of such romance rumors. She was previously said to be dating singer Yuya Tegoshi and ...

Japanese adult video fans will probably already know who June Lovejoy is, one of the most successful foreign performers working in the JAV industry. Lovejoy made their porn debut in early 2020. Not content to sit on her AV laurels, Lovejoy newest passionate project is now up and running. They have launched a rival to Tokyo Kinky. Just kidding. Tokyo Love District is (in Lovejoy's words) an online "guide of Tokyo and Japan in general with a focus on people working in the Japanese adult industry, JAV industry members, fetishists, artists, models, and anyone that is working in the unseen scene ...
