Is Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki the perfect soapland sex worker?
She certainly looks and acts the part in her latest AV release from Moodyz, aptly titled "Gravure Soap". The former gravure idol with the mega bust, whose switch to a career in porn last year was one of the highlights of the calendar, demonstrates how an awesome soapland experience should look. We have to use our fertile imaginations for how it feels, though.
After all, she certainly has the breasts for paizuri and a curvy body that is ideal for rubbing herself all over a very lucky, prone male ...
We reported earlier this year about the AV debut of actress and model Anri Sakaguchi.
To appear in "What a day!!" the 25-year-old Sakaguchi (now going by just "Anri") is reportedly getting paid ¥120 million -- a suspiciously high figure considering she is a B-list celebrity.
She made her JAV debut on the Muteki label, which specializes in these kinds of career switchovers from gravure, music idol or mainstream entertainment. Past successes include with Yua Mikami/Momona Kito and Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki.
Most of these stars, though, do one or just a small number AV releases before ...
The Japanese porn industry is in trouble.
While we might spend much of our time on this blog singing its praises, the truth is this has been a bad year, full of accusations of coercion and trafficking of female performers.
We always knew it went on, especially towards the bottom end of the industry. Needless to say, the links between organized crime in Japan and other sections of society, such as big business, politics and mainstream entertainment, are well documented, and the idol and porn scenes are similarly connected.
These are social problems, though. What about financial ...
At the Japan Adult Expo 2016 on November 10th-11th, around 4,000 people attended, including many Japanese AV fans from other parts of Asia.
Held for the third time, the event features 200 AV makers and studios, and offers a great opportunity for fans to get close to their adult idols.
At the booth for Aroma Kikaku, which specializes in fetishes, Hibiki Otsuki was there to welcome fans.
KMP had the likes of Ayaka Tomoda and friends were on hand to pose for pictures.
Echoing the biggest adult trend of the year, Total Media Agency (TMA) -- despite the name, it's ...
Just when you think Japanese AV cannot get any weirder. Just when you think they've come up with all the outlandish scenarios imaginable. Along comes another one to set your mind blazing at the crazy erotic possibilities.
The folks behind this concept deserve some sort of award, because this is awesome.
We all liked to play on jungle gyms when we were kids. But what about a vibrator jungle gym?
As the name suggests, this is a jungle gym constructed entirely out of massager wand-style vibrators (called a denma in Japan) -- 250 of them, to be precise. That's a lot of ...
The photographer Sakiko Nomura has a new exhibition at Ba-Tsu Art Gallery in Harajuku showcasing the beauty of Japanese AV actors.
During the 1990s, Sakiko Nomura trained with Nobuyoshi Araki, who knows a thing or two about erotic photography.
As we know, male porn performers are in short supply in Japan and so deserve our admiration for doing what must be a tough job. Yeah, having sex with hundreds of hot women a month for money. We really sympathize.
But seriously, the photography looks great. There's certainly a homoerotic overtone. And it gets even more fun when we consider ...
This year, in addition to crazy numbers of people in cosplay on the streets, Shibuya also hosted trash cans that spoke to you in porn stars' voices when you filled them up with your garbage.
And that wasn't the only porn-themed attraction in Shibuya over the Halloween weekend.
Regular viewers of Japanese AV will be familiar with the "magic mirror truck" series that features a vehicle installed with a one-way glass wall. It travels around the city, looking out at unsuspecting citizens on the streets while all manner of sexual antics take place inside.
Porn industry giant Soft on ...
The feel-good story of the year has turned out to have an unhappy ending, folks.
We made no secret of our joy when an advertising display screen in Indonesia was "porn-jacked" so that it started streaming Japanese pornography.
The incident happened on September 30th in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, during the rush hour on a 24-square-meter (260-square-foot) LED billboard. The porn was broadcast on a web browser for five minutes before the police cut the power to the screen. However, this was enough time for it to be filmed by many motorists. It soon started spreading on social media ...
The latest big porn debut is another lady who is switching from mainstream entertain to AV.
The actress and model Anri Sakaguchi released "What a day!!" on the Muteki label this month, which specializes in crossover debuts.
Sakaguchi is the daughter of the late actress Ryoko Sakaguchi and golfer Tateo Ozaki. The 25-year-old apparently has large debts and has been forced to turn to porn to make ends meet.
The first pictures from Sakaguchi's release have now emerged, showing her nipples and tits that are on the modest yet pointy side.
It has been reported that her fee is ...
Picture the scene.
You're driving down the highway and suddenly you look up at the advertising billboard overlooking the road. Rather than the usual commercial for that drink or car you'll never buy, it's playing porn. Japanese porn.
This is what greeted drivers passing through Jakarta, Indonesia, last month.
On the large advertising screen, in place of an actual commercial or video, someone's browser was displaying -- which just so happened to be showing a clip from a Japanese AV.
Fortunately for the morals of the city (and unfortunately for the horny drivers), what was ...
