Ghost sex virtual reality porn is latest innovation in Japanese adult video
November 23, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Just when you think Japanese adult video couldn't get any more original and inventive, along comes a new release to prove you wrong.
The latest porn innovation has a spectral theme.
Female ghosts are a central motif in spooky stories, but how about one that appears in your home and then takes corporeal form to have sex with you?
That's the basic premise behind this truly unique AV release (HUNVR00176), which is specifically shot for viewing with a virtual reality headset (Oculus, etc.). It was released in Japan on digital formats on November 15 on the Hunter label.

YouTuber mocks ex-porn star Kirara Asuka for plastic surgery, gets legal threat
November 22, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
We love parody -- and so does both the Japanese adult toys industry and the porn industry.
But when does spoofing go too far?
The comedian/YouTuber Chikuwa, who has over 180,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel, was recently forced to apologize after she mocked the ex-porn star Kirara Asuka about having plastic surgery.
The controversy started on November 14, when Chikuwa posted a video in which she did an impression of Kirara Asuka. The former adult video idol, however, was less than amused, and tweeted that she was beginning legal action.
Chikuwa then responded with an apology video ...

The former idol Riona Yuki (結城りおな) who made TV appearances has launched an adult video career, changing her professional name to Alice Shinomiya (四宮ありす).
Netizens are now scrambling to figure out if they ever caught her on TV. Screen grabs indicate that she did appear on certain shows, but did she leave much of an impression? (Japanese TV shows are notoriously overcrowded with celebrities all competing for attention.)
Yuki reportedly belonged to Amuse, a major management agency for music idols and celebrities.
It is a strange case that someone who was a guest on ...

Hong Kong have cracked down on foreign sex workers, arresting numerous women on October 17.
According to local news reports, they included the former Japanese porn star Noa Aizawa (愛沢のあ), who has been working as a prostitute from a hotel in the city.
Police have targeted a prostitution ring that was promoting Aizawa's services as a sex worker on social media by using her past adult videos as promotional material. Along with Aizawa, another woman arrested at the hotel was from Thailand. They both entered Hong Kong on travel visas.
In all, 16 women were arrested in a series of ...
Top Japanese adult video stars launch petition against new porn laws
October 12, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
As frequently reported on this blog, the new porn law in Japan has proven very controversial.
Though touted as a way of protecting performers, especially younger and debuting performers, by giving them far greater freedom to get out of contracts and by making production and distribution companies delay release, the legislation introduced in June was opposed by many in the industry.
While many major production companies have maintained a careful silence, perhaps concerned about stoking calls for a total ban on unsimulated sex in porn and encouraging further regulations to target the coercion ...
Japanese music idol group makes least popular member debut in porn

/ Tadashi Anahori
An underground Japanese music idol group has claimed that one of its members will become an adult video star for being the least popular.
Announced on September 16 and apparently running until September 19, the last day of a music festival, the Planck Stars said that the member who got the least number of snapshots taken with fans would be forced to debut in porn. Incidentally, the winner gets a free bicycle.
The group claimed its members devised the campaign themselves.
The original announcement got some attention back in September, but has received renewed outrage on Twitter in the ...
Japan’s top male porn star Shimiken announces divorce from common-law wife
September 30, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
A few weeks ago, we reported on the engagement and pregnancy of ex-porn star Nanami Kawakami.
Being an adult video star is hard enough with the long shoots, physical pressures, and social stigma, but the job also really affects your ability to lead a regular life outside of work. This includes, of course, settling down with a special someone -- if that's your choice -- and perhaps even having kids.
Anri Sakaguchi, whose colorful life has encompassed a stint in AV, has recently announced her divorce after just two months of marriage.
News reports last year said that former JAV star Nao ...
Spotlight on private and amateur porn as new adult video law loophole
September 26, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Earlier this year, a new law was passed with major implications for how adult video productions are made and released in Japan. The legislation gives performers a lot more say over their contract, allowing them to withdraw even after signing a contract and to cancel a contract after a production is completed and released. Producers must also allow a cooling-off period after a contact is signed and after a video is shot, to give performers the chance to change their minds, and provide very detailed instructions on the nature of the shots and activities expected.
One type of AV not covered by ...
More pics from Yotsuha Kominato second adult video
September 22, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
We mentioned earlier this month about the long-awaited follow-up adult video release by Yotsuha Kominato (Rikako Inoue), the former Fairies music idol.
The singer's second AV (1stars00715), which sees Kominato co-star with top male porn performer Shimiken for one of the sexual encounters, comes in the wake of a hugely publicized porn debut in June. Produced and released again by SODstar, the JAV title has now hit the market and the first screen grabs indicate that her slender, pale-skinned body is working overtime once more.
If these images entice you, put some yen down on the table to buy ...
Former AKB48 idol and porn star Risa Naruse (Haruna Aisaka) marries comedian
September 20, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
We have spilled much digital ink on this blog talking about what happens to idols from AKB48 and its sister groups, taking an interest (for obvious reasons) especially in the young ladies who go on to have careers in porn.
But what about those same singers-turned-porn stars after they are done with their adult video careers? For some, it's a short stint in the competitive world of JAV. For others, like Yua Mikami, they enjoy years at the very top of the industry.
But all things must come to an end. What do they do next?
Well, in the case of former AKB48 idol Risa Naruse (who worked in JAV ...
