Shion Utsunomiya reborn (again) as Rion

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 ...

Let this be a warning to all aspiring adult entrepreneurs out there.
The manager of an Osaka restaurant has been arrested for making and selling pornographic DVDs from an apartment.
Shoji Matsumoto (46) sold 46 DVDs to a Saitama man in his forties for ¥7,000 ($58) in July. Matsumoto started a website to sell his DVDs, as well as renting a nearby apartment, where he stored around 70,000 types of adult videos!
When he got an order, he would press the video into DVD format and send it to the customer.
Matsumoto sold each DVD for ¥200, offering two free films if you spent over ...
da fuck pays electronic homage to Japanese porn star Mihane Yuuki
October 12, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
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 ...
AV star sued by production company for refusing to perform in porn
September 30, 2015
/ Megumi
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 ...
Meet the porn researcher sociologist who is a former AV actress
September 29, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
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 ...
Mother of Ultra: Ultraman superhero parody porn in Japan
September 16, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Yes, "Ultraman porn" is a thing in Japan.
Women dressed up as Ultraman-like characters (especially the Mother of Ultraman) in tight costumes and being screwed by men and other "creatures" is not just a nostalgic fantasy, it is an outright erotic fetish in its own right.
Porn label GIGA likes these pastiche superhero/superheroine porn and they seem to be responsible for the unofficial Mother of Ultra porn (there may be others around).
The "Giant Heroine" (Kyodai Heroine) franchise started way back in 2008 with a film starrting Nana Saeki. The most recent was in July 2015, starring Miho ...
Another photo report from behind the scenes of a crazy Japanese porn shoot
September 3, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Following the previous report on the March porn shoot at an abandoned rural school, KAI-YOU has published a second behind-the-scenes photo report.
As far as we can tell (the article is written in the usual ambiguous way that certain Japanese publications like to use), this seems to be the same film ("100 People x Nakadashi") by the label Honnaka. We're not sure why there has been a second article, other than it seems to be a promo for the film as part of AV Open 2015. At any rate, this was "round two" shot on another day, featuring new "rules" in the games.
The film starred 7 ...
Music band Dotsui Tarunen hosts porn shoot during live music concert
September 2, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Dotsui Tarunen is a cult music band and their reputation just got even more cultish.
What other actual music group would allow two porn stars to fuck right there in the mosh pit during their live act?
That's what Dotsui Tarunen Live Music Sex Concert with Natsuki Yokoyama entails. A sort of gonzo-style guerrilla documentary porno, it pairs Yokoyama with veteran (and temporarily disgraced) male performer Ryo Sawai.
As the sweaty music fans enjoy the music, Sawai and Yokoyama get down and dirty on the floor.
Needless to say, the music event was only open to ...
Taipei subway to release metro cards with Japanese porn star Yui Hatano
August 29, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
We already know that the subway in Taiwan can get pretty moe and kinky.
But did you know it also gets pornographic?
The Taipei subway will release metro cards on September 1st featuring the Japanese porn actress Yui Hatano.
There had been an outcry to the promo and at one point the subway operators in the Taiwanese capital said the cards would be withdrawn.
But then clearly Yui's Taiwanese fans decided to stick to their guns.
The mayor of Taipei has criticized the scheme, though some of the money raised is expected to go to charity.
Hatano, a 2014 Japan Adult Award ...
Porn actor Shimiken opens “poo curry” restaurant
August 24, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
The fact that Shimiken, Japan's currently most prolific male adult performer, has opened a restaurant is news-worthy in its own right.
That he has opened a curry restaurant that serves "poo" curry makes our jaws drop. WTF?!
Well, Shimiken (Ken Shimizu) is the owner, so don't expect him to be behind the pots and pans (he's too busy screwing dozens of women a week).
He's now opened Curry Shop Shimizu in a residential district of Setagaya in Tokyo, so we can't say how crowded it's going to be, even regardless of the menu.
Shimiken is famed for lamenting the lack of male porn ...
