Earlier this week, we wrote about the brilliant Japanese porn parody of the Korean Netflix series Squid Game. Of course it's called Squirt Game. Now comes a source of inspiration closer to home. Ever year, the Japanese and international media is full of news about a record-breaking tuna auction bid. Often these bids are publicity stunts, done by people like the head of conveyor-belt sushi chain Sushiro. This week, a 276 kg bluefin tuna fetched ¥207 million, which is a cool $1.31 million, at the first auction of 2025 at Toyosu wholesale fish market (the successor to Tsukiji market). This ...

Squid Game has inspired a brilliant Japanese porn parody, Squirt Game. From the player and guard costumes to the publicity materials, there's no mistaking the source material for this release from adult video production company Das, here reinvented as Dasflix. The female "contestants" in Squirt Game (code DASS00534) are played by Waka Misono, Mizuki Yayoi, Machi Ikuno, and Mitsuki Igarashi. Needless to say, the challenges the contestants face are far more intimate than in the original Netflix series. Squid Game (known in Japan as Ika Game, using the Japanese word for "squid") is ...

Japanese porn parodies are two a penny. Every few weeks seems to offer up yet another colorful AV parody of a franchise or real-life incident. We reported on the new Frieren: Beyond Journey's End porn parody last week, for example. But though at times inventive or even provocative, these parodies tend to have lowish production values and, let's be honest, are basically a cash grab. And so people have reacted with surprise at the high quality of the porn parody of My Dress-Up Darling (その着せ替え人形は恋をする), a manga, anime, and (since this month) TV drama on MBS, because ...

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 ...

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 Japanese porn industry is incredibly prolific and its output is fueled in part by parody releases: adult video productions that operate at a kind of meta level, inspired by a recent incident, social trend, or something from popular culture. Sometimes, since parody occupies an ambiguous place under the rubric of Japanese law, this can get the producers into trouble. The recent AV release based on the DJ Soda groping incident was canceled prior to release, possibly due to the social media backlash or perhaps out of fears of legal repercussions (at a time when things are difficult for the ...

The wheels of the Japanese adult video juggernaut trundle on, demanding fresh material, new performers, and novel inspiration. As frequently noted on these digital pages, JAV often turns to parody to sustain itself, resulting in a kind of meta industry that is highly topical and self-aware. The DJ Soda groping incident at a music festival last summer, in which the star was touched by several male and female members of the audience, was a big scandal, though ultimately the Korean performer has overcome the negativity and cemented her fandom in Japan with a debut photo book and cover shoot ...

There is one way to tell that a social phenomenon in Japan has become significant: when it has inspired either its own parody porn production or an adult toy. As noted many times here, Japanese adult video frequently draws upon real-life incidents to make parodies. Examples include the women's support group that has faced harassment, the assault of a music idol, and -- and this is where things get very meta -- an AV that lampooned the recently introduced porn legislation. It is a similar situation with the Japanese sex toys industry, such as the Uber Eats onahole and the masturbator based ...

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 ...

We think the Japanese adult industry has a thing for Makoto Shinkai. The anime director's work has served as inspiration for toys and porn. In addition to a porn parody starring Ayane Suzukawa, Your Name. was reimagined as an onahole a few years ago by Tama Toys, soon followed by yet another pocket pussy by a different maker. Shinkai's next anime, Weathering With You, was the source for Tama Toys' aptly named bondage-themed Toilet Bowl With You Onahole. It also inspired an adult video called Pussy with You, starring Aoi Kururugi, plus an "ejaculation app" called Masturbation with ...
