The Japanese porn performer Eimi Fukada has announced on her YouTube channel that she is moving homes after her address was identified.
The 23-year-old, whose adult toys are also immensely popular, was rumbled by college students near where she lives in Shinjuku and by others when she was spotted at a local convenience store.
While they are not as accepted in the mainstream entertainment world as regular models and celebrities -- and always euphemistically called "sexy actresses" by the media -- top AV stars have thousands of fans, almost all men -- and willing to go to great lengths to ...
It's one of the most hotly anticipated porn debuts of the year -- and now we have some more preview images to pour over until the video comes out.
First she appeared, then disappeared, then reappeared. Shizuku Taiyo burst onto the scene as a gravure idol in late 2019, only to promptly vanish.
Thank the Shinto gods that they saw fit to guide her nascent career in a new direction.
She has relaunched herself as an adult video star now called Minamo. As we reported last week, her debut comes out on June 10 from Soft on Demand. The release (1stars371) is a three-hour epic and we can now share ...
A debut and a disappearance. This is a curious tale.
The beautiful gravure idol Shizuku Taiyo (太陽しずく), whose name literally means "drop sun" or "trickle sun," broke into the mainstream with her industry debut in autumn 2019.
She graced the covers of Young King magazine for the September 24 and October 28 editions, and a 15-page spread in the latter. But then the 19-year-old basically vanished.
While it is customary for models and idols to change their professional names (especially ahead of a porn debut) and, in the process, for previous social media channels to be deleted, why ...
We have heard various reports of gravure models, singers, and actresses in Japan getting the coronavirus over the past few months, but what about AV idols? Inevitably, they are also at risk and one example is Japanese porn star Mikako Abe, who contracted the coronavirus last month.
Her agency, ARCHE Production, announced the news on April 27 and Abe was since then recuperating and quarantining at home. This period officially ended yesterday, May 6, and she has apparently now recovered and can get back to work soon after a few more days of rest.
Making her debut in 2012 and known for her ...
What is is like to be the father of a porn star?
We once blogged about an interview with the wife of a prominent Japanese male porn performer as well as the brother of two gravure idols.
Now the 32-year-old retired top Japanese porn star Kirara Asuka has released a video on her YouTube channel -- it seems that many of the big JAV names are also becoming YouTubers -- all about her dad.
The 20-minute video (only in Japanese), which is the first time her 55-year-old father has made such a public appearance, was published on April 28 and has racked up nearly 750,000 views.
It takes a while ...
We were already excited about the upcoming second season of the Netflix Japanese drama The Naked Director because of the pedigree of the first season, which lived up to its promise of the porn industry premise and then some with awesome nudity and sex scenes galore.
Then came news that the singer Mariya Nishiuchi had been cast as a porn star, offering the tantalizing prospect that she would make her nude debut in the series, which deals with the career of legendary adult video director and producer Toru Muranishi.
Now comes a trailer and we are delighted to see former AKB48 idol Yuka Masuda ...
The much-younger Japanese wife of a wealthy self-proclaimed "Don Juan," who died under mysterious circumstances in 2018, has finally been arrested.
Saki Sudo (須藤早貴) (25) was detained this week by police over the death of her husband, Kosuke Nozaki, who was famed for his wealth and how he had used it to bed thousands of women.
Nozaki was 77 when he died at his sumptuous property in Wakayama, while Sudo was 22. They had reportedly met by chance at Haneda Airport and quickly married.
It is alleged that she killed him with a meth overdose to get his fortune. She was apparently more ...
In our continuing survey of what gradols and porn stars do after leaving their jobs, we now have the example of one of the most prominent JAV performers of recent years: Ai Uehara.
Having just won a high-profile diversity award, Ai is wasting no time in launching the next stage in her working life.
She has just started a crowdfunding campaign, aire (pronounced "eye re"), for a new of health and beauty supplement brand called AminoR-20+Zn. As the name suggests, the supplement contains zinc and 20 types of amino acids. The project is produced by Ai in partnership with a corporation, ...
Mayuko Ito (伊藤真友子), a former member of the idol group Yumeoi Shoujo (元ユメオイ少女), is making her porn debut, joining the ranks swelled by numerous singers and idols over the years.
As is often the case, Ito is making this career shift under a new professional name -- in this case, Himari Ayase (綾瀬ひまり).
Yumeoi Shoujo is a struggling pop group in a competitive world, launching in 2016 and shedding most of its members in 2019, including Mayuko Ito. It still has one official member but its chances of gaining a larger following are likely behind ...
Former top adult video star Ai Uehara is about to kick off her second career with a crowdfunding campaign later this month. The details are still a little slim, though it seems to involve launching her own photography brand. We hope to report more next week.
In the meantime, Ai has been in the news for another reason: she won the Miss iD 2021 award.
The 28-year-old was selected from 2,676 candidates and 194 finalists for the prize, which is now in its ninth year.
The finalists had to attend interviews to win over the the judges. Following auditions held online last August, the event to ...
