An AFP article doing the rounds on sites like Japan Today and Mail Online has some bad things to say about Japanese porn.
The headline blasts: "Japan's porn industry preys on young women, say rights advocates".
Well, not an unfamiliar topic, we hear you say.
Japanese women are being exploited and abused in Japan’s multi-billion dollar pornographic film industry, rights advocates said on Thursday, calling on authorities to strengthen laws to protect them.
Pornography is widely available in Japan, where some actresses become well known enough to appear on mainstream TV chat ...
This is a working list of idols from AKB48 or sister groups like SKE48 who have graduated onto second careers in nude modeling and/or adult video (AV).
There are rumored to be others but these are what we know of. Share if there are others!
Momona Kito
The most high-profile recent graduate into the porn industry, Momona Kito starred in an ostensibly one-off porn release by Muteki as Yua Mikami. It was such a hit, she has since decided to do more and make a whole career of it.
Rina Nakanishi
Rina Nakanishi was the pioneer, laying the ground for the other idols who have followed in her ...
It seems that Japanese AV actress Mei Matsumoto isn't content with all the cocks she has during her day job. She also wants some in her private life.
Specifically, if a tweet is to be believed, she seems to want some interracial action.
She appears to be dating Philip Minoru Kimura, a K1 kickboxer born in 1993 in Brazil.
Judging by his name and looks, he has some Japanese blood in him. We wonder if it's his physique or Latin charm that Mei digs. Hey, we can kick butt ...
Back in the spring we blogged about the awesome Ryoujoku Stockings.
There is a whole subgenre of "shame" porn in Japan, many of which revolve around settings where a woman is held captive as a "public toilet" facility. Tied up, she is treated like a public latrine for a series of men to come along and dump their loads onto and into her body.
Koshu benjo -- or "public lavatory" -- is a slang Japanese word used to insult a woman. (Sometimes also called a niku benki, or meat/flesh toilet.)
The women's bodies are also "decorated" in writing, especially on their legs, saying they are ...
Maro (Maroka Uchiyama) was one of Ayumi Hamasaki's dancers. He and Hamasaki started dating while she was on the rebound from divorcing her husband Manuel Schwarz in 2012.
However, the fling lasted only until 2013, since when Maro became famous for being famous -- and sometimes appeared on TV talk shows to spill the beans on the breakup.
Clearly his career is going in another direction now since Maro has just made his porn debut. Here are some highlights.
Japan is the world's biggest producer of porn, though it suffers from a ...
The mega-cup beauty has done it again.
Not content with transforming herself into an incredible nude model under the mysterious name of Rara Anzai -- complete with a ravishing photo shoot to boot -- Japanese porn star Shion Utsunomiya has now changed her AV professional name again.
Now she is Rion.
Born in 1994, Rion (or RION) made her porn "debut" in September 2015, two years on from her original debut (if that's not a contradiction in terms) as Shion Utsunomiya in September 2013. In June 2014 she released a nude photo book as Rara Anzai.
Now she is attacked to and has three AV ...
The completionist side to our personality just wants to post this, even though it's not new.
What with all the fuss earlier this year of the porn debut of Momona Kito as Yua Mikami, we want to continue our exploration of this theme: the afterlife of Japan's "respectable" idols.
Remember AKB48's Rumi Yonezawa?
Well, since her departure from the group in 2012, it seems her career hit hard times. So many idols are processed through the well-grease machinery of the industry that there will inevitably be casualties that fall by the wayside.
And given the open secret that idols ...
da fuck, a project by French musician Marc Durand, has created an album featuring only sounds taken from the porn catalogue of AV star Mihane Yuuki (aka Mihane Yuki).
Literally "not one external sound" was used for the album 美羽ゆうきに、僕のすべての愛敬。 (All my love for Mihane Yuuki.).
Actually, it's not what you think. If you're expecting just screaming girls and squirting sounds, think again. It's much more, well, melodic and interesting than that. It's actually quite thought-provoking to listen to, since you try to imagine what the original context was for ...
After the recent court ruling against the underage idol who "broke" her contract and had a relationship, and the ruling in favor of the hostess who had a long-running affair with a client, there have been some interesting legal developments in Japan of late.
Now a woman who refused to take part in a porn shoot and was sued for ¥24 million (over $200,000) for breach of contract by the production company has won her case.
The court in Tokyo ruled that the "nature of the work is one that you cannot force someone to do it against their will".
The judge threw out the production ...
Nippon.com, normally a fairly austere and academic online publication, has published an article by sociologist Suzumi Suzuki, in which she discusses her fieldwork about adult video and role play in the porn world.
Suzuki starts out with a very positive view of her subject matter:
AV actresses are surprisingly articulate when asked to talk about themselves. In the videos by which they make a living, as well as in magazines and other media, they calmly field personal questions of all kinds and narrate their personal stories smoothly and eloquently.
To a large extent, this is a skill they ...
