The top Japanese porn star Minamo has appeared in an advertising campaign for leading Japanese lingerie brand Ravijour. She is modeling various holidays-themed underwear items that are now available from Ravijour stores and online. She is also holding a promotional meet-and-greet event for the brand in Shinjuku in January, where you even get a signed Minamo-Ravijour mug. We adore Minamo and she looks ravishing in the Ravijour lingerie, which comes in an erotic red. In keeping with the "holiday collection" theme, the lingerie is festively colored. A Christmas campaign for a ...

Famous (or possibly infamous) Japanese entrepreneur Takafumi Horie, aka Horiemon, has weighed in on the issue of adult video censorship. Japanese adult video, despite being possibly the biggest porn industry in the world, is censored: no genitals are shown. This is a strange workaround to avoid prosecution under the obscenity law that was introduced to Japan in the Meiji era. The same policy is used in softcore porn and mainstream cinema, even if the nudity is not in a sex scene. In a Japanese movie, the makers will simply shoot in a way to avoid genitals. If it's a foreign film, they will ...

Tama Toys has already shown us what AI can do to design masturbator toys with the bestselling Artificial Intelligence Vagina onahole series. Now comes the inevitable next step: AI porn. An AI-generated adult video produced by h.m.p. stars a digitally created performer called Ai Kihana (木花あい). The 35-minute video (41AIBV0001) claims to be the world's first such AI porn release. It comes out December 22 on DVD and Blu-ray. We will have to withhold judgment until we view the actual footage, but the Ai Kihana's face is attractive, yet does have that uncanny valley kind of ...

Former top adult video star Sola (Sora) Aoi has given her first on-camera interview in four years. Once the most famous Japanese porn star, and popular also in other parts of Asia, Sora Aoi announced her marriage at the start of 2018 to DJ Non. When she then announced she was pregnant at the end of that year, she experienced quite a lot of abuse on social media. Despite not appearing in porn since 2011, many trolls still criticized her for becoming a mother, saying it was "sad for the children." Now aged 42, Sola Aoi has two kids with DJ Non. She gave birth to twins in May 2019. She ...

The former gravure idol Shizuha Takimoto (瀧本雫葉) is making her adult video debut. The gorgeous, pale-skinned beauty's first porn production comes out via Prestige's Genesis label on November 24. In addition to the 230-minute release (CTKTGNI-002), the 24-year-old has also just released her first nude photo book in mid-September as a Kindle and on-demand paperback. If we are honest, we never knew who she was, which left us wondering if her gravure career was very obscure or she worked as a gradol under a totally different name. It seems that most of the internet ...

Early last year, we wrote about the porn debut of Japanese TikToker Unpai. This was exciting enough in its own right, but seemed to signal something of a trend in Japanese adult video industry at the time, as several TikTokers made the shift to porn after acquiring a fandom on the video platform. Unpai was followed by biracial beauty Okogetan and Ichika-sensei. Like a lot of JAV performers, many of these debuts, despite benefiting from extra publicity and interest due to their existing fame and popularity, are destined to have short careers in the highly competitive world of Japanese ...

Japanese adult video studio Faleno is to release a porn parody of Colabo, an organization that helps women in need. This has ignited a huge amount of attention this week, but the context requires some explanation for the uninitiated. Colabo runs a shelter for victims of sexual and domestic violence called the Tsubomi Cafe, which is effectively a large pink bus. It can often be found in Kabukicho, which attracts young runaways and desperate women who may be drawn into prostitution or compensated dating. In a very bizarre turn of events, the organization and its activities found themselves ...

The former Japanese porn star Shunka Ayami is said to be dating the male singer Ryoichi Tsukada. The 36-year-old Tsukada is a member of the boy band ABC-Z, which is part of the roster of troubled (and recently renamed and soon-to-dissolve) agency Johnny & Associates. Ayami reportedly introduced Tsukada to her parents last month, and they have supposedly taken overseas trips together. Weekly Bunshun claimed the scoop when earlier this week it published photos of the two together traveling by Shinkansen. They certainly make a glamorous couple. Tsukada took a well-publicized break ...

The recent edition of Feti Fes in Tokyo was a packed event with the usual wide array of fetishes and subcultures. The festival on September 17 had around 100 booths of both individual exhibitors and groups across five floors, showcasing ero-cosplay, debusen, zentai, and much, much more. Many of the women work as freelance porn stars and ero-cosplayers, though various subculture/fetish circles are also at the venue. Unfortunately, we weren't able to attend in person due to other commitments that day, but fortunately DXBeppin-r.com could and has put together a nice photo report with portraits ...

You might remember Chika Yuki (or Yuuki) (結城ちか) from back in the late 2010s. The formidably busty gravure idol made her debut in 2014 (when she still at school) and enjoyed some initial success, but then left her agency and switched to another name -- Chika Takahashi -- in 2020, followed by yet another name -- Maiha Hinata -- in 2021. All this seemed to suggest her gradol career was in free fall. Despite her obvious talents and assets that made her more than qualified for the job, it's a competitive industry that favors the flavor of the month for cover shoots and big gigs. She ...
