We promised. We delivered. More to the point, she delivered. We said we would follow up on our post last week about the first pictures from the highly anticipated porn debut (STARS-685-VT) of ex-Fairies member Rikako Inoue, now performing as Yotsuha Kominato. We can now share actual highlights from her 250-minute adult video release as well as nude promo photos of the star. Fans will love her sweet, slender body and its beautifully pale skin. We know we do! The sex itself is pretty conventional, ranging from gentle bathroom intimacy, some banging on a sofa, and the usual kind of ...

Anticipation continues to build over the porn debut of former Fairies music idol Rikako Inoue as Yotsuha Kominato, which may well become one of the biggest AV of the summer. While the upcoming release from Soft on Demand is still largely under wraps, with only very tame interview or promo videos available online to tease viewers, we do finally have the first preview images to enjoy. They suggest the video will contain bath sex, masturbation, and Kominato's "first" time with a man. In one shot, she's wearing lingerie and a blindfold as a (much older) male partner manipulates her ...

The former Japanese adult video star Kaho Shibuya recently sat down for a candid and insightful interview with Tokyo Weekender, where she talked about her porn career and subsequent work. Kaho Shibuya (not to be confused with similarly busty former gravure idol Yuri Shibuya) has actually had a lot of jobs in her time, including a baseball reporter, English teacher, and adult toy reviewer. It was this last job that led to her four-year stint in JAV. As she outlines in her cautionary book about the industry, Everything Girls Should Know About the JAV Industry, her agency pushed her into ...

Readers got understandably excited when we reported in May on the upcoming adult video debut of former Fairies music idol Rikako Inoue. Now active as a gravure idol and singer under the name Yotsuha Kominato, the beautiful starlet is making her entry into the porn industry with a highly anticipated release from SODstar on June 27 (unfortunately, we don't have a video code yet). Intriguingly, the porn release is being promoted by Soft on Demand alongside her new solo music release, suggesting it was part of the deal they made with her or that they are even involved with the production or ...

Rikako Inoue (井上理香子), a former member of the now-defunct idol group Fairies, is to make her porn debut as Yotsuha Kominato (小湊よつ葉). Fairies disbanded in 2020, after which Inoue (who was a member of the group throughout its roughly nine-year run) nominally retired from the entertainment industry and became a company employee for two years. However, the 25-year-old officially adopted the name Yotsuha Kominato in March this year and returned to gravure with a shoot for Weekly Playboy and tie-in 57-page photo book. This month, she released the music video for a solo song, ...

Now this is what we call going out with a bang. Top Japanese adult video star Shoko Takahashi has retired from porn, as announced in April, and released her final title (MIDV-099) this month. Of course, JAV is more than just videos, and Takasho has also put out an array of tie-in toys over the years, from onaholes to lubes and even vibrators. To complement her last ever porn release, she has teamed up with top adult brand EXE to produce the Japanese Real Oppai Shoko Takahashi Breasts. Given that Takasho's greatest asset is her chest, and her unusual inverted nipples, this is a no-brainer ...

One of the fascinations of this blog is with the afterlives of idols, whether music, gravure, or porn. What do the hordes of women do after their (frequently brief) moment in the spotlight is over? Kizuna Sakura was active in adult video from 2014 to 2020. Now aged 32, she has begun the next stage of her left and career by opening a Niigata-themed ramen restaurant in December 2020 in Tokyo's Suginami ward. She funded her enterprise through an ambitious crowdfunding campaign, which included such perks as a one-on-one talk and even a "fake wedding ceremony" and one-night stay at a hot spring ...

Loosely adapted from the book by Jake Adelstein, the HBO series Tokyo Vice features nude scenes with several actors, both American and Japanese. Legion and Fargo star Rachel Keller is semi-nude in a scene where she gets changed with her back to the camera and a weirdly uninterested man in the room with her. The former Japanese porn star Nanami Kawakami features in a pretty explicit and satisfying nude sex scene with the series lead Ansel Elgort. The 29-year-old Kawakami, who recently retired from adult video after a decade in the industry, is shown riding Elgort with some nice shots of ...

The high-profile Japanese adult video star Shoko Takahashi has announced on social media on April 1 that she will retire from porn. This news came out a few days ago and somehow slipped under our radar until last night. Despite the timing of the announcement, Takahashi emphasized that it's not an April Fool's joke. She has also shot down rumors that she is pregnant or getting married. Instead, she says, her motivation for retiring was the health risk that a long porn career entails. Her official retirement release (MIDV-099) was shot at the end of last year and will come out on May ...

As one of the most successful performers in the entire industry, Japanese porn star Julia has released a lot of things in her long career, especially bestselling adult videos. She has, of course, already released various tie-in toys like the Real Body Julia (a torso-style sex doll masturbator) as well as several other masturbator toys and vibrators. But this is a toy on a wholly different level. The Julia Life-Size Porn Star Sex Doll is, as its name suggests, a true-to-life-scale doll that is a fitting tribute to the JAV stunner. Now 12 years since her debut, the 34-year-old has finally got ...
