While the Tokyo Olympics enters its second week, the athletes are apparently not having sex in the Olympics Village.
But that is certainly not the case for Japanese porn stars, who are kept busy in a prodigious industry that pumps out thousands of new releases each year.
In a recent photo shoot, five top Japanese adult video stars posed nude for a "naked Olympics" in which they showed off their athletic prowess (as well as their lovely bodies).
Here is Ayaka Mochizuki doing karate.
The flexible Rui Minagawa displays her gymnastics abilities.
This is Emily (Hikari Sakuraba, Ellen ...
As we continue to watch the new season of the Netflix show The Naked Director and its galvanic portrayal of the 1980s and 1990s Japanese adult video industry, porn shoots have been on our mind even more than usual.
In behind-the-scenes photos of porn shoots, we are amazed by so many things.
How many staff are involved and how, if you'll excuse the pun, hard the work it is, getting the right angles and lighting. In these corona times, as two pictures recently shared by the AV director Daiki Kato (Samoari) demonstrate, they also have to wear masks (except the ...
Misato Morita was the breakout star of the first series of Netflix's porn-themed Japanese drama The Naked Director, in which she plays legendary adult video performer Kaoru Kuroki.
In the second season, she's still in the cast but the narrative finds her at a more established point in her career. This means somewhat less screen time and less nudity while the storyline focuses on other events and women making their way in the industry.
But there is still a relatively conventional sex scene between her and the series protagonist, porn director and producer Toru Muranishi, in which she rides ...
We're done watching and re-watching ex-AKB48 Yuka Masuda's awesome nude sex scenes in the second season of Netflix porn-themed drama The Naked Director.
Now we are moving on to explore other episodes and the nudity from different female performers in the cast.
One of the great things about the series is that it features nudity and sex scenes by both newcomers and established stars, rewarding fans of the latter and introducing viewers to fresh talent.
We were not familiar with 22-year-old Yuri Tsunematsu (恒松祐里) before but won't be forgetting her in a hurry.
Despite her "pure ...
She promised. She delivered.
Formerly of AKB48, Yuka Masuda left the group in 2012 over a sex scandal. She then tried to make a gravure comeback with limited impact but has continued to work as an actor and a singer.
This time, she has definitely made a lasting impression.
In the second episode of the new season of Netflix drama The Naked Director, which explores the Japanese porn industry in the 1980s through the story of legendary producer Toru Muranishi, 29-year-old Masuda does some great sex scenes with nudity. (If you're pressed for time, skip to the 8-minute and 20-minute marks of ...
The prestigious Meiji University has made a complaint about a porno video that was shot on its campus in Tokyo.
As widely reported in the mainstream media this week, Meiji University's gripe involves an adult video release that features a short "insert" scene with the star.
But keen observers were able to identify the campus shown in the background. We wonder how this came to the attention of administrators. Were they just searching for people talking about the college on social media? Or were they too watching the latest porn releases for, ahem, professional reasons?
The premise of the ...
Retired adult video star Kirara Asuka is hoping to build a second career for herself (beyond her successful YouTube channel and apparel line, CPITO) with a new venture.
She is "producing" a hostess club, which is set to open on August 2 in Ginza, the district of central Tokyo known for its luxury boutiques, restaurants, and, yes, hostess bars.
The club, J-Vogue, is now recruiting its "cast" of hostesses, offering hourly (yes, hourly!) wages of up to ¥30,000.
Asuka, who retired from the JAV industry in 2020, made the announcement on her official social media accounts on Monday, and it was ...
Minamo is moving fast to capitalize on the big splash she made with her recent porn debut.
After switching from gravure, where she was known as Shizuku Taiyo, the angel-faced beauty has rapidly attracted a following with her well-publicized first release for Soft on Demand.
As often the case, another video was quickly shot -- she was probably contracted from the start to make at least a couple of productions -- and put on the release slate.
While no full preview images are available yet, the aptly titled "Ecstasy" (1stars386) comes out from SOD Create on July 8 and the cover alone is ...
Another week, another adult video debut. Another month, another gravure or music idol quietly switches to porn.
Recently we had Rin Arai (Rin Asahi), Shizuku Taiyo (Minamo), and Ruu Yumemi.
Here's the latest. The 25-year-old, angel-faced Moko Nakagawa (那珂川もこ) launched her career as a gradol in 2018 but the G-cup minor star seemed to vanish in April.
Then came the reason: she had joined the T-Powers agency and was relaunching her career as a porn star, now called Kanan Amamiya (天宮花南).
She celebrated with a nine-page hair nude (full-frontal) spread for the weekly magazine ...
Things don't happen in a vacuum: even if the new porn star isn't already famous and making a switch from gravure modeling or another career to JAV (e.g., Ruu Yumemi or Shizuku Taiyo), the chances are she was doing something beforehand.
And being an underground (chika) idol is one. These young women inhabit the groups that etch out a precarious living doing small gigs and events, attended by a modest but devoted following of fans.
The chika idol group Miramajo (みらまじょ) made a sudden decision to disband in January of this year, giving no formal reason -- meaning it was probably ...
