/ Tadashi Anahori
There's a lot of excitement swirling around since the announcement that the singer and model Mariya Nishiuchi would be appearing in the upcoming second season of the hit Netflix drama The Naked Director.
The drama charts the career of Japanese adult video impresario Toru Muranishi, whose ambitious productions revolutionized the industry in the 1980s and 1990s.
Nishiuchi will apparently play Mariko Itsuki (樹まり子), a busty stunner who notched up dozens of credits in porn releases in the late 1980s and early 1990s as well as several photo books.
Now the question is: How much will ...

Top Japanese porn producer Soft on Demand has opened its mini theme park complex in Kabukicho, Tokyo, which, despite recent gentrification, remains one of the centers of the adult and sex industry.
As previously reported, SOD Land is five floors devoted to porn. Visitors can get food and drink served by actual adult video stars or sex workers in several different types of establishments.
Here are some pictures from when the site opened to the public on October 10. People were lining to get in, despite the pre-typhoon rainy weather.
The "silent bar" on the top floor is the ...
That pool from Japanese porn? Get the T-shirt, because it may not be in any more porn
October 2, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Almost anyone who has watched a fair amount of Japanese porn will have stumbled upon a particular swimming pool, known simply as "that pool" (rei no pool). It is a certain location that for various reasons -- not least aesthetic ones -- became a go-to choice for porn producers from the 2000s.
The pool was so famous that it got its own tribute book, edited by a "research group" dedicated to the site and published in 2013.
If you like your porn wet and with a swimwear fetish, then you will love the productions that use the pool location.
It is, however, not a regular pool but one that is ...
Top porn producer Soft on Demand to open adult theme park bar building in Tokyo
September 21, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
The Weekly Playboy bar in Kabukicho was a big success back in 2017. We were reminded of it -- and how few chances there are to encounter the adult industry in a bricks-and-mortar setting other than just a shop in the likes of Akihabara -- when we read the exciting news that top Japanese porn production and distribution company Soft on Demand is opening what is essentially a sex theme park in Tokyo.
Ostensibly, the building will host restaurants and bars staffed by genuine porn performers, following the precedent established by Weekly Playboy's bar, where real gravure idols served ...
How have Rara Anzai’s breasts changed over the years of her career?
September 16, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Despite switching names on multiple occasions, Rara Anzai (aka Rion, aka Shion Utsunomiya) remains one of the most popular adult video stars in Japan.
She matches an angelic face with a stunning J-cup bust.
But porn stars are not always what they seem: cup sizes are sometimes inaccurate or volatile. And naturally, a woman's body changes over the course of her life.
Have Rara's breasts always been the same?
An unidentified netizen and JAV fan has decided to investigate this important question.
He or she (all right, it's surely a "he") came up with this montage of Rara Anzai in action in ...
Porn debutant Sora Minamino outed as former Oyasumi Sekai idol
September 3, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Detailed detective work on the part of Japanese netizens have identified newbie porn star Sora Minamino (南乃そら) as Miyako Torase (虎瀬美也子), a former member of idol group Oyasumi Sekai.
Torase was active in Oyasumi Sekai from November 2018 to April 2019. If the netizens are right, it would seem that she struggled to find a post-idol career or otherwise specifically chose to enter AV with the right offer.
Sora Minamino released her first adult video title on September 1 with a splashy 149-minute feature (MIDE-812) from Moodyz.
The video, which nominally follows ...
Police indict two YouTubers for sex sounds prank in Tokyo train station toilet
August 18, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Train station toilets can be unpleasant places and may not even be suitable for answering a call of nature. The multipurpose toilets are, of course, wheelchair-accessible. That means they are larger and can host some more intriguing activities, such as trysts between couples. This common trope in porn and white-collar male fantasies was reinforced by comedian Ken Watabe's much-reported affair, which was conducted mostly within the walls of such a restroom in a parking lot.
Tokyo police recently sent two YouTubers to the prosecutors for indictment on charges of trespassing and disturbing the ...
Tama Toys T-shirts are a must-wear for Japanese adult toy, adult video fans
August 4, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Tama Toys is never content with just making adult toys, it seems. The industrious and reliable brand continues to innovate and push its lineup beyond the conventional bounds of sex toys, encompassing even towels and books.
After reporting last week on its great recent selection of adult face masks, we wanted to introduce some of its T-shirts.
The most obvious, yet discreet, choices are the T-shirts that are branded with Tama Toys logos. Of course, only those in the know will recognize what you are wearing, so walk down the street with your head held high.
Japanese adult video fans will ...
Former fashion model Riri Nanatsumori makes porn debut
July 28, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
The latest minor celebrity to make the crossover to porn is Riri Nanatsumori (七ツ森りり), who previously worked under the name Reika Matsumoto (松本鈴香).
Born in 1995 and blessed with an F-cup bust, Riri Nanatsumori is half-Japanese, half-Filipino. Along with the relatively recent porn debut of Japanese-Portuguese performer Karen Ishida, there is growing demand for so-called "haafu" AV idols.
She built up a career as Reika Matsumoto initially as a model for the magazine CHOKi CHOKi and as a host of a music TV show.
She changed her professional name in July when she switched to ...
It's the battle of the universities! Waseda versus Keio: which student is hotter?
We previously wrote about the porn debut of a Waseda University student.
That same student, Mao Watanabe (渡辺まお), has now teamed up with Saiko Yatsuhashi (八ツ橋さい子), a graduated of Keio, for a nude photo shoot that is a clever take on the traditional rivalry between the two colleges, the top private universities in Tokyo. Not only is this a full-frontal "hair nude," it also has some serious lesbian tones.
Saiko Yatsuhashi is 27 years old and already an experienced JAV performer with multiple ...
