The immensely popular Japanese porn star Eimi Fukada landed herself in hot water this week by complaining on social media that men should pay for dates with girls.
Fukada, who last year held a 24-hour "free hugs" event for fans, reasoned that women already have various expenses that men don't, such as hair styling, makeup, and clothing costs, not to mention the time the women spend getting ready for their date.
She said men should pay the "date charges" -- presumably meaning paying for all the costs of the date (meal, drinks, movie theater tickets, etc.), not an actual "fee" paid to the ...
In one of our (sadly) increasingly rare trips to the movie theater, especially the arthouse cinemas known as "mini theaters" in Japan, we saw a trailer for this movie that deals with a subject very close to our hearts.
Goodbye, Bad Magazines is about the impact of the removable of adult magazines from convenience stores, as one of the ways in which Tokyo tried to clean up its image ahead of the 2020 Olympics. As we know, it was all for naught since the Olympics were delayed by a year and then held without spectators, and at a time in which almost no one except citizens could even enter the ...
We consider it our mission on this blog to tell the world how amazing Japanese sexuality and sexual subcultures are, but it seems that our work is already done without us realizing it.
The entire planet is apparently obsessed with Japanese porn -- at least, if we judge things purely by search results (which is perhaps not the most accurate barometer).
Pornhub has announced its biggest search terms of 2022 and we are delighted and intrigued by the results.
The main trend worldwide it noted was the rise in porn tagged "reality," perhaps to offset the growing professionalism of "amateur" ...
Happy New Year to all our readers.
We begin 2023 with some pleasant news -- or perhaps disappointing tiding to certain fans.
According to news reports, the prominent Japanese porn star Suzume Mino is to marry the comedian Akihiro Tabuchi.
Tabuchi (37), of the comedy duo Indians, will apparently tie the knot with Suzume Mino some time during 2023, according to news reports on January 1.
Their courtship is not news per se. It emerged in the summer that the two were dating, as reported on this blog.
Mino is now 26. She made her debut in 2019 and is wildly popular for her G-cup breasts. We ...
The former idol Riona Yuki (結城りおな) who made TV appearances has launched an adult video career, changing her professional name to Alice Shinomiya (四宮ありす).
Netizens are now scrambling to figure out if they ever caught her on TV. Screen grabs indicate that she did appear on certain shows, but did she leave much of an impression? (Japanese TV shows are notoriously overcrowded with celebrities all competing for attention.)
Yuki reportedly belonged to Amuse, a major management agency for music idols and celebrities.
It is a strange case that someone who was a guest on ...
Hong Kong have cracked down on foreign sex workers, arresting numerous women on October 17.
According to local news reports, they included the former Japanese porn star Noa Aizawa (愛沢のあ), who has been working as a prostitute from a hotel in the city.
Police have targeted a prostitution ring that was promoting Aizawa's services as a sex worker on social media by using her past adult videos as promotional material. Along with Aizawa, another woman arrested at the hotel was from Thailand. They both entered Hong Kong on travel visas.
In all, 16 women were arrested in a series of ...
As frequently reported on this blog, the new porn law in Japan has proven very controversial.
Though touted as a way of protecting performers, especially younger and debuting performers, by giving them far greater freedom to get out of contracts and by making production and distribution companies delay release, the legislation introduced in June was opposed by many in the industry.
While many major production companies have maintained a careful silence, perhaps concerned about stoking calls for a total ban on unsimulated sex in porn and encouraging further regulations to target the coercion ...
A few weeks ago, we reported on the engagement and pregnancy of ex-porn star Nanami Kawakami.
Being an adult video star is hard enough with the long shoots, physical pressures, and social stigma, but the job also really affects your ability to lead a regular life outside of work. This includes, of course, settling down with a special someone -- if that's your choice -- and perhaps even having kids.
Anri Sakaguchi, whose colorful life has encompassed a stint in AV, has recently announced her divorce after just two months of marriage.
News reports last year said that former JAV star Nao ...
We mentioned earlier this month about the long-awaited follow-up adult video release by Yotsuha Kominato (Rikako Inoue), the former Fairies music idol.
The singer's second AV (1stars00715), which sees Kominato co-star with top male porn performer Shimiken for one of the sexual encounters, comes in the wake of a hugely publicized porn debut in June. Produced and released again by SODstar, the JAV title has now hit the market and the first screen grabs indicate that her slender, pale-skinned body is working overtime once more.
If these images entice you, put some yen down on the table to buy ...
One of the biggest porn debuts of the year was by former Fairies idol Rikako Inoue, now performing as Yotsuha Kominato.
Her highly anticipated first adult release came out in the summer and was a hit, thanks to a major marketing splash laid out by Soft on Demand.
Now comes the follow-up.
Clocking in at a hefty 261 minutes (even longer than her debut) for the digital version, her second release (also from SODstar) is available in Japan from September 20 (code 1stars00715) and features 4K-quality action with four sexual encounters. The physical release on DVD and Blu-ray is a little shorter ...
