Another former AKB48 idol has made her porn debut, once again proving the thin pink line that exists between the industries.
Joining numerous other ex-AKB girls who "graduated" onto to adult video careers, Ryo Sakata's first porn film was released in mid-March from the Maxing label. She has already released a second one this month. Clearly she and her paymasters want to milk her appeal, which is not hard to see.
Here are some preview images from her first release.
To be fair, the 27-year-old Ryo Sakata was only a member of AKB48 for around half a month in ...
Last month it was Miyako Akane. Earlier this month it was former Olympic snowboarder (and call girl) Mero Imai. This week it's Miu Nakamura.
The adult video label Muteki is really on a roll if the latest rumor is true: retired idol Miu Nakamura is about to make her long-awaited porn debut, reports Tokyo Sports.
She's a minor gravure idol probably most famous for her hair nude full-frontal photo shoots, which she first did in 2011. She started off as a junior idol when she was a teenager and ostensibly retired in 2012 after a 7-year career. Like Imai, she is alleged to have later worked as a ...
Newbie porn starlet Anri Sakaguchi has been arrested for attempted extortion.
She apparently tried to extort money from a bar host with whom she was involved. She was arrested by Tokyo police on April 18th.
The 26-year-old Sakaguchi was a celebrity (famous largely for being the daughter of actress Ryoko Sakaguchi) who made her debut on the Muteki label in autumn 2016.
Professionally now known just as "Anri," she has since starred in another four titles. Her most recent one was released on DVD on April 13th.
There were rumors that she joined the Muteki (and later Moodyz) roster and made ...
The former Olympic snowboarder Mero Imai is to make her porn debut on the Muteki label, a studio that specializes in celebrities switching to the adult video industry. (Recent examples include Anri Sakaguchi, Miyako Akane, and Yua Mikami.)
As we wrote back in 2015, Mero Imai is a former half-pipe Olympic competitor in 2006. However, her lack of success at the Winter games led to personal and family problems and she started working as a hostess in Osaka.
As is sadly too common in the hostessing world, she then segued into a career as a delivery health call girl. She also had plastic ...
After the media controversy comes the government crackdown.
The biggest story in the adult industry last year was when the widespread coercion in the porn industry was finally exposed after several famous performers came forward, in addition to multiple arrests and prosecutions.
It led to an official apology from the industry, though can we really hope that things will really improve when the industry is so large and its needs so rampant? (After all, such coercion is also endemic for gravure idols, music idols and the general entertainment world.)
Kyodo now reports that the ...
The world media has once again taken an interest in Japanese pornography -- in particular, porn made for and starring seniors.
We previously noted the press attention lavished on silver porn star Yasue Tomita and veteran male performer Shigeo Tokuda.
Doing the rounds of various overseas media outlets this time is an Associated Foreign Press article about the retirement of Maori Tezuka.
After a decade of peeling off for X-rated movies, a Japanese porn actress famous for being the country's oldest has called it quits -- at the ripe old age of 80.
Maori Tezuka, a former opera ...
She's finally done it. Miyako Akane has answered our prayers by making the next logical step in her career and becoming a porn star this spring.
Miyako Akane is a gravure idol and chakuero idol -- i.e., a busty idol who keeps her clothes on but barely (as opposed to AV idols, who do fully nude photo shoots all the time).
After wowing the nation with her amazing H-cup bust in what may be the most incredible and revealing swimsuit in Japan as well as 360-degree virtual reality softcore porn, things must have been drying up for Miyako Akane... or she just wanted to take her career to the next ...
This story has been doing the rounds of the foreign press and we have our doubts about its authenticity, given the overseas media's penchant for "wacky Japan" stories. But if it's even just a bit true, it's pretty incredible.
After all, we all have to go some day. What better way than Death by Porn?
An unnamed 50-year-old Japanese man was recently found dead "partially buried" underneath a pile of erotic magazines. The story apparently came from one of those people whose unfortunate job it is to clean up after so-called "lonely deaths" (where people die but no one finds them for a long ...
Back in June last year we blogged about "porn star karaoke" in Japan, where a karaoke system features AV stars who generously strip off naked as you sing. Now that's encouragement.
Something similar has become a kind of minor talking point online recently. Once again, it's for Joysound (specifically, Joysound fR) and has Japanese porn stars.
This time, if you sing well, you are "rewarded" with a mildly censored image of a nude AV idol both during the track and at the end.
But if you stop singing, the footage switches to muscular men. If you're bisexual, it's a win-win. Otherwise, ...
We have recently seen a lot of controversy in the porn industry in Japan over coercion after several prominent cases where women, including current stars, have come forward to allege they were forced to perform when they were originally scouted on different terms.
It is one of the AV industry's dirty secrets that no one liked to talk about until last year. It has led to arrests and court cases as well as a wave of bad publicity in the mainstream media.
And the latest "victim" of the controversy is not even a member of the industry!
Now a lawyer who represented a production company ...
