Earlier this week, we wrote about the brilliant Japanese porn parody of the Korean Netflix series Squid Game. Of course it's called Squirt Game.
Now comes a source of inspiration closer to home.
Ever year, the Japanese and international media is full of news about a record-breaking tuna auction bid. Often these bids are publicity stunts, done by people like the head of conveyor-belt sushi chain Sushiro.
This week, a 276 kg bluefin tuna fetched ¥207 million, which is a cool $1.31 million, at the first auction of 2025 at Toyosu wholesale fish market (the successor to Tsukiji market). This ...
The new Taiga drama Unbound has started on public broadcaster NHK. The period drama is an institution on Japanese TV, running for a whole year and always attracting a lot of attention.
It typically broadcasts in the early evening and is pretty tame in terms of content (don't expect blood in the fight scenes, for instance).
As such, viewers were surprised to see nudity in the very first episode last Sunday. Japanese TV drama shows on the established linear channels generally features no nudity, even for late-night shows, though there are sometimes bizarrely non-nude sex scenes.
The nude ...
Squid Game has inspired a brilliant Japanese porn parody, Squirt Game.
From the player and guard costumes to the publicity materials, there's no mistaking the source material for this release from adult video production company Das, here reinvented as Dasflix.
The female "contestants" in Squirt Game (code DASS00534) are played by Waka Misono, Mizuki Yayoi, Machi Ikuno, and Mitsuki Igarashi. Needless to say, the challenges the contestants face are far more intimate than in the original Netflix series.
Squid Game (known in Japan as Ika Game, using the Japanese word for "squid") is ...
The TikTok star Kanna Sannoki (三木環奈) is making her porn debut this month with a release from Moodyz Diva.
The 154-minute release (MIDV00983), directed by Trendy Yamaguchi, comes out on DVD on December 17 (it's already out on streaming).
Kanna Sannoki is advertised as a current college student, though we suspect her beauty and boobs would be a real distraction in the seminar room.
The powers that be clearly have faith in Kanna Sannoki's sales potential, because she already has another release on the slate. It's a nude "image video" without sex, but revels in the allure of ...
The porn star Ayumi Kuroki (黒木歩) made her debut in 2010. She hasn't had many credits in the past few years but has not officially retired. Her most recent release is a lesbian-themed production that comes out later this month.
The performer is now 43 and very much in the MILF/jukujo category. She also directs and sings in a band, and holds private events for fans.
She gave an interview to Spa! last month in which she described what it is like to raise a child while pursuing her line, similar to a interview that married porn star and mom Marina Shiraishi also gave the publication in ...
In a recent interview with Spa!, Japanese porn star Marina Shiraishi (白石茉莉奈) discussed some of the background to her highly successful career.
Shiraishi made her debut back in 2013 and is now 38 years old, making her a jukujo mature performer.
But many people are not perhaps aware that she is married and has a child, both from before her entry in the industry.
It's more common for JAV performers to marry after they retire and those who do marry during their careers can end in divorce. "I thought I was an unusual case," she admits.
Her son is now 15 years old -- and we truly ...
As we write this, Japan is heading to the polls in an election that might see the ruling LDP lose its majority in the House of Representatives.
Of course, we're less interested in the podgy faces of the LDP policos, most of whom should be off collecting their pensions by now instead of running the country, and more in the possible success of candidates like ex-gravure model Chisato Morishita, still a hottie at age 43 (and unmarried too).
She's already failed once in her bid to win a seat. Will she succeed this time and brighten up the stale corridors of power with her slinky charms?
This ...
Mana Sakura was recently admitted to hospital, suffering from pneumonia.
When Sakura shared news about her health on social media earlier this month, it sparked a lot of unfounded online speculation that she found offensive. Some netizens even claimed that she had AIDS.
Sakura has reacted with fury to these allegations, issuing the corrective and promising to consult with her agency about launching a lawsuit against the people who spread the rumors about her having AIDS.
The 31-year-old Sakura, who is also a novelist (four and counting, and one was adapted into a movie) and director, is ...
We recently wrote about an inventive porn parody of a long-running horror movie franchise.
Sometimes these parodies go beyond the cheeky and amusing, and are brazen or even legally dubious. A porn parodying the DJ Soda groping incident was ultimately pulled from release after an outcry.
The Japanese adult video industry's latest target for parody is the popular manga and anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, a franchise that is also increasingly famous overseas.
Called Premature Ejaculation Free Rental Pussy (早漏のフリーレンタルマ〇コ), which in Japanese is read similar to ...
The Gokusen Insei Yuna Ogura Moaning Perfect Butt is a new release from Enjoy Toys that rewards three types of customer desires: sex with a hot Japanese porn star; a sexy booty; and a toy that responds with sound during your session.
Yuna Ogura is, as many readers probably know, one of the most popular performers in Japanese adult video. The 25-year-old made her debut in 2017 and in addition to her domestic following, also has legions of fans in South Korea and Taiwan.
The Gokusen Insei Yuna Ogura Moaning Perfect Butt pays tribute to her ass, including two holes (vagina, anus) and a ...
