We recently wrote about an inventive porn parody of a long-running horror movie franchise.
Sometimes these parodies go beyond the cheeky and amusing, and are brazen or even legally dubious. A porn parodying the DJ Soda groping incident was ultimately pulled from release after an outcry.
The Japanese adult video industry's latest target for parody is the popular manga and anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, a franchise that is also increasingly famous overseas.
Called Premature Ejaculation Free Rental Pussy (早漏のフリーレンタルマ〇コ), which in Japanese is read similar to ...
After they retire, most JAV porn stars disappear into obscurity, though a prominent handful have remained in the public eye in other roles, such as writers and photographers.
Yua Mikami is pursuing a career in modeling and apparel, though has faced some criticism over her association with other brands, and former adult video star Minami Aizawa recently announced she would no longer use her performer name in her post-JAV career.
Among the many things that porn stars have expertise at, understanding about hygiene, physical health, and STDs and STIs surely ranks near the top.
As regular ...
Back in May, we reported on the shocking arrest of the incredibly popular Japanese OnlyFans adult creator Naomiii.
The performer was likely a victim of her own success, which got her noticed by authorities and who found a way to nab her on obscenity charges.
The 32-year-old adored by millions for her sensually curvy body and perfectly shaped labia was arrested with Nobutoshi Kiri, who helped make her videos and upload them.
The "amateur" porn (shot in 4K) the pair made was actually very high quality but the uncensored content was what attracted police attention.
Most people reacted with ...
Our last post was about the successful, high-profile porn star Ai Hongo's unfortunate sex scandal that has forced her suspend her career.
While we will miss the slinky Ai Hongo, the truth is that there are lots of fine ladies out there vying to take her place in the Japanese adult video industry.
New performers make their debuts every week.
One who has caught our eye this month is Ito Asahi (朝陽いと), a busty former music idol who has made the switch to porn with her first release on Moodyz.
Her debut (MIFD00518), a 118-minute release, came out on September 13.
It makes a lot of ...
The Japanese adult video industry loves to parody other cultural productions or topical events, as we have covered numerous times here.
Past examples include pastiches of Demon Slayer, Joker, and Ultraman.
These do go too far sometimes. One parody porn inspired by the DJ groping incident was ultimately not released, perhaps for fear of legal reprisals from the Korean celebrity's side. A porn based on a women's support group (and anti-feminist sentiment toward it by male netizens) was likewise very controversial last October.
The parody of the Maho Yamaguchi assault incident also had a ...
The former Japanese porn star Minami Aizawa has announced that she is to go on hiatus and fully retire her old performer name.
Aizawa worked in AV from 2016 to 2023, and has continued to use her name since retiring.
However, in social media posts on August 25 to her hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and X, the 28-year-old announced in English and Japanese that she would stop using the name Minami Aizawa because she was fed up with the limitations of being always introduced as a "former porn star."
It makes her feel like she is, in her words, "clinging to past glories" and ...
When a relatively obscure female news anchor made the mistake of tweeting last week about the need for guys to shower and look after their personal hygiene in the summer months, she was dropped by her agency and ignited a small storm of media attention that continued to unfold for days.
Her perfectly rational suggestion that men wash and take measures not to smell was met with outrage by male netizens, who accused her of discrimination. Others have leapt to her defense, especially after her agency fired her.
It's hardly the first time that public figures have made such comments about fans ...
Karen Ishida (石田佳蓮) is to make her porn debut next month. The former Idoling!!! member will release her first adult video on Muteki, which specializes in debuts by crossover talent, on September 3.
Idoling!!! was a Japanese TV show and female music idol group active from the mid-2000s to 2015. Ishida was a member of the "fifth generation" of members from 2012. Past members include Nao Asahi, Yurika Tachibana, Erika Tonooka, Rurika Yokoyama, Ami Kikuchi, Ai Okawa, Rena Sato, Suzuka Morita, and the long-tongued Michaela Wako Sato. Many have enjoyed careers in gravure.
The ...
In the crowded world of JAV, where newbies arrive every month and vast mountains of releases are populated by unnamed "amateur" performers paid a relative pittance, it takes something for a woman to achieve real staying staying power and stardom.
Moe Amatsuka is one such performer and so her many fans were dismayed to hear of her imminent retirement.
On July 28 on a live YouTube broadcast, Moe Amatsuka announced that she would be leaving the industry. Sometimes this is disingenuous, because the performer reappears attached to a different agency and working under a different name.
But ...
Formerly known as Satomi Kaneko, the name under which she performed in music group AKB48 and worked as a gravure and nude idol, Kiho Kanematsu's porn debut this spring was one of the most highly anticipated and hyped of the year so far.
After making her adult video debut on the specialist crossover label Muteki back in April, the excitement continued as she transferred to S1 No. 1 Style and generously went back on the (always dubious) promise that her debut would be a one-off.
Let's be honest, the logic of the market dictates that if the sales were good and demand strong, there were always ...
