YouTuber mocks ex-porn star Kirara Asuka for plastic surgery, gets legal threat
November 22, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
We love parody -- and so does both the Japanese adult toys industry and the porn industry.
But when does spoofing go too far?
The comedian/YouTuber Chikuwa, who has over 180,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel, was recently forced to apologize after she mocked the ex-porn star Kirara Asuka about having plastic surgery.
The controversy started on November 14, when Chikuwa posted a video in which she did an impression of Kirara Asuka. The former adult video idol, however, was less than amused, and tweeted that she was beginning legal action.
Chikuwa then responded with an apology video ...
Former Japanese porn star Kirara Asuka to open hostess club in Ginza
June 16, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
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 ...
Meeting the parents of retired porn star Kirara Asuka

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 ...
How much does it cost to go on a date with a famous Japanese idol or model?
May 31, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
It's an open secret that "compensated dating" (援助交際, enjo kosai) is common in the Japanese idol world, even among mainstream entertainers and celebrities.
Just as the casting couch exists, so too does the dating table. Idols don't earn that much money and their careers are fickle, so they boost their income with dates.
There doesn't always sex involved, it should be added, but it's surely not impossible. It's like a hostess "dohan" date (where the hostess accompanies you for dining before going to the club together) or services offered by "dating clubs" (交際クラブ, kosai ...
Is Arashi’s Jun Matsumoto cheating on Mao Inoue with porn star Tsukasa Aoi?
January 13, 2017
/ Tadashi Anahori
Arashi's Jun Matsumoto has been dating the actress Mao Inoue, if the rumors are to be believed, but their agencies prevent the stars -- who are not getting any younger and perhaps about to pass their peak -- from making their relationship public, yet alone marrying.
So what to make of these latest tabloid allegations? Matsumoto is now apparently cheating on Mao with another woman. And she's a porn star.
Yes, it seems that being a member of Arashi is a ticket to date and (supposedly) live with a popular actress while also having fun with a member of the adult industry.
At the end of ...
Eight top Japanese porn stars invite us to their naked banquet

Recently we've been admiring a nice trend for weekly magazines in Japan to produce fantastic photo shoots featuring a host of stars showing off their naked bodies.
We saw it in the 51 naked porn stars in Weekly Playboy and then 50 semi-naked gravure ...
Kirara’s Hip is Kirara Asuka’s ass in an onahole
December 16, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japanese porn label King has made a whole series of onahole masturbator toys based on Japanese porn stars.
And so it was perhaps inevitable that they would turn to the reigning queen, Kirara Asuka. And in particular, her butt.
Though not her first clone masturbator or adult toy tie-up, this Kirara's Hip is a glorious tribute to Kirara Asuka's body, especially her ass. It's a flatbed-style onahole, meaning you can lay it down flat on a surface, even better for sliding into from behind.
There are of course two holes -- the anal and vaginal -- and we like how these are full air ...
Nukipon to make porn even cheaper… in Japan
October 11, 2010
/ Tadashi Anahori
Following the lead of the very popular Groupon that has become very popular State side, the Japanese have taken the massive deal-of-the-day marketing tool in a different, sexier direction.
For those of you who don't know, Groupon is a large scale coupon which depends on the number of people who sign up for it every day. If the quota for the day is met, everyone who signs up that day will receive the deal. According to Groupon in the US, there were a few areas they would not offer bargains, some of those being plastic surgeons and strip clubs. Japan's own Nukipon however will be ...
Kirara Asuka’s first-time jitters as she takes on mainstream acting role
October 8, 2010
/ Tadashi Anahori
AV superstar Kirara Asuka goes red faced and giddy when asked about her first time... appearing in a TV drama.
Sponichi reports that the amazingly sexy 22-year-old porn starlet appeared at a press conference upon completing the up coming Ojou 3.
Playing a cabajou (a girl who works at a cabaret bar) Asuka, who has appeared in a great number of erotic films, says that she's not looking forward to seeing the show's debut due to the fact that it will be "very embarrassing".
Just by taking one look at the mountain chested bombshell, you'd know that she doesn't embarrass easily. ...
