Soft on Demand creates porn with naked entrance ceremony for new female employees
April 14, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
Ah, April. The glorious month of the cherry blossom (depending on where you are in Japan) and new starts, because both the academic and fiscal years begin.
During April, youngsters up and down the land enter school or college. It is also the time of year when the fresh intake of corporate hires kick off their careers at the company they chose. These people are typically in their early twenties and straight out of college. Many corporations hold an entrance ceremony of some sorts to welcome the newbies, who sit in formal suits looking forward to becoming corporate drones.

Preview images from election candidate’s porn debut

/ Tadashi Anahori
In March, we wrote about the former Self-Defense Force nurse and sex worker running for election for a local assembly in Tokyo this month.
Hasumin Yoshikawa has promised to debut in porn after the poll, whether she wins a seat or not.
Well, her party, the anti-NHK fringe right-wing populist Politician Girls 48 Party (aka Political Party Girls 48), has become mired in in-fighting among its leadership and accusations about misappropriate use of party funds, but Yoshikawa continues to campaign in Setagaya. In fact, we even received one of her pamphlets through our letterbox at the Tokyo ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Newbie Japanese porn star Momona Koibuchi (恋渕ももな) made her debut in April last year and is currently affiliated with SOD Star. In a recent two-part interview with Bunshun, the busty performer describes her entry into the industry.
After graduating high school, the 23-year-old worked as a civil servant dealing with tax and social health insurance.
But her experience of regular sexual harassment at work during this time led, she claims, her to pivot into a whole different career in adult video. Her male colleagues would ask her about her bra size on a daily basis, or forcibly kissed ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Not satisfied with the recent rush of gravure idols' photo books? Even the ones like Minami Yamada's that are semi-nude?
Then you need something more reliable.
Minamo burst into our lives in 2021 when she made the switch from a brief stint in gravure (where she worked as Shizuku Taiyo from 2019) to porn, and hasn't looked back since.
One of the most popular adult video performers working in the industry today, she is currently attacked to porn production company T-Powers continues to release JAV titles (we count something like twice as many releases in 2022 as her debut year).
Her first ...
Former TV celebrity Riona Yuki makes porn debut as Alice Shinomiya
November 10, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
The former idol Riona Yuki (結城りおな) who made TV appearances has launched an adult video career, changing her professional name to Alice Shinomiya (四宮ありす).
Netizens are now scrambling to figure out if they ever caught her on TV. Screen grabs indicate that she did appear on certain shows, but did she leave much of an impression? (Japanese TV shows are notoriously overcrowded with celebrities all competing for attention.)
Yuki reportedly belonged to Amuse, a major management agency for music idols and celebrities.
It is a strange case that someone who was a guest on ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
An underground Japanese music idol group has claimed that one of its members will become an adult video star for being the least popular.
Announced on September 16 and apparently running until September 19, the last day of a music festival, the Planck Stars said that the member who got the least number of snapshots taken with fans would be forced to debut in porn. Incidentally, the winner gets a free bicycle.
The group claimed its members devised the campaign themselves.
The original announcement got some attention back in September, but has received renewed outrage on Twitter in the ...
Former patissier Riko Hoshino makes porn debut
September 9, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
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.
Hoshino's first release comes out ...

Turning notoriety into profit is an age-old trick, and 31-year-old YouTuber Yu Hirose has done it.
After the sexy YouTuber, who boasts over 450,000 subscribers, got arrested for public indecency for live-streaming nude sex acts on FC2, she has made a comeback. And she's decided to go the whole hog by doing porn.
Her debut, a 131-minute AV (LZDQ00025) from Lezre!, came out on August 20 (streaming) and August 23 (physical release). She is credited by her online name, Yu Hirose (広瀬ゆう).
Form the looks of things, she stays masked throughout proceedings, which seem to involve a bit of ...

July 28, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
TikTokers are the new social media stars -- and the new porn stars. In an industry always desperate for the Next Big Thing, TikTok seems to offer a source of sexy young ladies who want to promote themselves.
Following the examples set by biracial stunner Okogetan and duck-faced Unpai, the latest popular user of the short-form video platform to debut in the Japanese porn industry is Ichika-sensei (いちか先生).
Known by her user name @ichikanihitomebore (literally, "Ichika love at first sight"), Ichika has almost 200,000 followers on the platform, plus over 10,000 subscribers and ...
