Another week, another adult video debut. Another month, another gravure or music idol quietly switches to porn.
Recently we had Rin Arai (Rin Asahi), Shizuku Taiyo (Minamo), and Ruu Yumemi.
Here's the latest. The 25-year-old, angel-faced Moko Nakagawa (那珂川もこ) launched her career as a gradol in 2018 but the G-cup minor star seemed to vanish in April.
Then came the reason: she had joined the T-Powers agency and was relaunching her career as a porn star, now called Kanan Amamiya (天宮花南).
She celebrated with a nine-page hair nude (full-frontal) spread for the weekly magazine ...
The 39-year-old gravure model and celebrity Yoko Kumada is "working" at a luxury hostess club in Ginza. Well, kind of. The initial media headlines were a little misleading.
Kumada's entrepreneur husband was arrested last month for assaulting her, including allegedly hitting her in the face, but was released without charge two days later. She has announced her intention to start divorce proceedings, though there are also reports that the incident was prompted by her husband's suspicions of her adultery, which might complicate things. She and her husband have three young children.
She shared ...
Summer is nearly here and we are looking forward to some camping. Ideally with a lady like this.
Tomomi Morisaki is so hot, she's on fire. That's the unsubtle yet apt metaphor conveyed in her latest photo shoot, which has a "phoenix" theme with the lovely Tomomi posing in lingerie around open flames. The shoot was featured in an issue of Weekly Playboy released in late April, meaning the outdoors shoot was actually done when the weather was still quite mild. Now that's commitment to her craft.
The stunning 28-year-old with a G-cup, long a favorite of this blog, is promoting the ...
What happens to the beauty contest finalists who don't quite make it?
Though the winners often go on to carve careers as models and celebrities (and a small minority do more interesting things like become porn stars or appear in sex tapes), what about the almost-rans?
One example is Fumika Mizukusa (水草文香), a 2018 Miss Japan finalist when she was a young 23 years old (and a first-year student at the University of Tokyo, Japan's most prestigious university).
Now Mizukusa is a little older and wiser -- and a lot hotter and willing to exploit that.
Working today under the name Fumika ...
It's one of the most hotly anticipated porn debuts of the year -- and now we have some more preview images to pour over until the video comes out.
First she appeared, then disappeared, then reappeared. Shizuku Taiyo burst onto the scene as a gravure idol in late 2019, only to promptly vanish.
Thank the Shinto gods that they saw fit to guide her nascent career in a new direction.
She has relaunched herself as an adult video star now called Minamo. As we reported last week, her debut comes out on June 10 from Soft on Demand. The release (1stars371) is a three-hour epic and we can now share ...
A debut and a disappearance. This is a curious tale.
The beautiful gravure idol Shizuku Taiyo (太陽しずく), whose name literally means "drop sun" or "trickle sun," broke into the mainstream with her industry debut in autumn 2019.
She graced the covers of Young King magazine for the September 24 and October 28 editions, and a 15-page spread in the latter. But then the 19-year-old basically vanished.
While it is customary for models and idols to change their professional names (especially ahead of a porn debut) and, in the process, for previous social media channels to be deleted, why ...
Kana Koizumi is the gift that keeps on giving.
After she quit her gravure agency for unknown reasons, the idol took to her personal Twitter account to promote herself. One way she did this was by making newly provocative videos.
She seriously raised the stakes when she stripped off, revealing her massive breasts. She continued to upload such short nude videos to her Twitter account.
She then moved to YouTube, where she had an active account and made some topless videos where her modesty was nominally censored by precariously positioned images of bananas. Even so, YouTube was less than ...
The newly freelance gradol Kana Koizumi raised more than a few eyebrows when she put nude videos of herself on her official Twitter account.
Her latest stunt to attract buzz is another social media video.
Koizumi has released a video on her eccentric YouTube channel in which she once again strips off. Since it's YouTube, she couldn't actually show her breasts, so bananas appear onscreen to preserve her modesty (just!) and stop the video from being pulled by the Powers That Be.
She then eats a banana phallically while looking right into the lens of another camera (not the one filming). ...
Gradol (gravure idol) shoots have a certain kind of culture. The locations gradually start to feel familiar and the way the models pose is also often repeated.
In this post, we bring together a few typical poses.
We start with the raised-arm pose, where the armpit(s) are exposed along with the neck and chest area. This hints at what the gradol looks like when pressed down on a bed or up against a wall.
The sideways-on-all-fours pose has obvious appeal: you get to see what she looks like when poised for doing it doggy. A common variation of this pose is from behind -- again, with ...
So it wasn't an error and it wasn't a one-off.
When we reported last week on Kana Koizumi's bold career move, shortly after she left her agency, to take her top off and show off her incredible breasts in a video she posted to Twitter, we knew that she had attracted a lot of buzz for it.
Clearly it was encouraging to her, so much so that she did again.
Now Kana Koizumi (小泉かな) has posed in a very sexy video posted late on February 23, which was "cat day" in Japan. She wears fluffy cat ears (nekomimi) and all-in-one lingerie. She pulls down her teddy to show us those incredible, ...
