New Japanese porn stars make their debuts on a weekly basis. Most come out of nowhere -- at least, their names are not yet known -- while others have some background in a related industry like gravure.
For new AV performer Riko Hoshino (星乃莉子), it's a bit of both. We hadn't heard of her before but apparently the Hokkaido native has already appeared in a weekly magazine as a gravure idol earlier in the summer.
Before that, she was a professional patissier, which makes us wonder about all those lovely ladies in white uniforms we see inside bakeries.

The Magic Mirror Car (or "MM Go") is a great trope that pops up in many Japanese porn films.
It takes a truck with one side converted into a "magic mirror" (one-way glass) so you can see the world outside going by while all sorts of crazy things happen in the truck -- and on camera.
