Another week, another adult video debut. Another month, another gravure or music idol quietly switches to porn.
Recently we had Rin Arai (Rin Asahi), Shizuku Taiyo (Minamo), and Ruu Yumemi.
Here's the latest. The 25-year-old, angel-faced Moko Nakagawa (那珂川もこ) launched her career as a gradol in 2018 but the G-cup minor star seemed to vanish in April.
Then came the reason: she had joined the T-Powers agency and was relaunching her career as a porn star, now called Kanan Amamiya (天宮花南).
She celebrated with a nine-page hair nude (full-frontal) spread for the weekly magazine ...
Chika idol Rin Arai to make porn debut as Rin Asahi

Things don't happen in a vacuum: even if the new porn star isn't already famous and making a switch from gravure modeling or another career to JAV (e.g., Ruu Yumemi or Shizuku Taiyo), the chances are she was doing something beforehand.
And being an underground (chika) idol is one. These young women inhabit the groups that etch out a precarious living doing small gigs and events, attended by a modest but devoted following of fans.
The chika idol group Miramajo (みらまじょ) made a sudden decision to disband in January of this year, giving no formal reason -- meaning it was probably ...
More preview pictures from Minamo porn debut

It's one of the most hotly anticipated porn debuts of the year -- and now we have some more preview images to pour over until the video comes out.
First she appeared, then disappeared, then reappeared. Shizuku Taiyo burst onto the scene as a gravure idol in late 2019, only to promptly vanish.
Thank the Shinto gods that they saw fit to guide her nascent career in a new direction.
She has relaunched herself as an adult video star now called Minamo. As we reported last week, her debut comes out on June 10 from Soft on Demand. The release (1stars371) is a three-hour epic and we can now share ...
Vanished gravure idol Shizuku Taiyo reappears as porn star Minamo
May 11, 2021

A debut and a disappearance. This is a curious tale.
The beautiful gravure idol Shizuku Taiyo (太陽しずく), whose name literally means "drop sun" or "trickle sun," broke into the mainstream with her industry debut in autumn 2019.
She graced the covers of Young King magazine for the September 24 and October 28 editions, and a 15-page spread in the latter. But then the 19-year-old basically vanished.
While it is customary for models and idols to change their professional names (especially ahead of a porn debut) and, in the process, for previous social media channels to be deleted, why ...
Another Japanese pop idol makes her porn debut

Mayuko Ito (伊藤真友子), a former member of the idol group Yumeoi Shoujo (元ユメオイ少女), is making her porn debut, joining the ranks swelled by numerous singers and idols over the years.
As is often the case, Ito is making this career shift under a new professional name -- in this case, Himari Ayase (綾瀬ひまり).
Yumeoi Shoujo is a struggling pop group in a competitive world, launching in 2016 and shedding most of its members in 2019, including Mayuko Ito. It still has one official member but its chances of gaining a larger following are likely behind ...
Here are the first preview images of Ruu Yumemi’s porn debut

We promised. We delivered.
After blogging the exciting news that former gravure idol Ruu Yumemi is to make her adult video debut following a sex tape scandal, we then shared the full-frontal nude photos she did to promote the porn release.
And now, finally, we have some preview images to enjoy before the video (MIDE-894) comes out on April 13 from Moodyz.
From the previews, the porn seems to have some fine if unspectacular action. Inevitably, the director has chosen to make a lot out of her breasts, since Ruu Yumemi's I-cup bust is probably her best and most striking asset. (No prize for ...
Ahead of porn debut, Ruu Yumemi releases full-frontal nude shoot

Ahead of her much-anticipated porn debut, busty and curvy former gravure idol Ruu Yumemi has now done a full nude shoot.
After her gradol career stuttered following a sex tape leak scandal, Ruu Yumemi turned to Moodyz and adult video for work. We are among the many looking forward to seeing the results.
As reported by this blog recently, Yumemi's first porn release (MIDE-894) is a 150-minute epic and comes out on April 13. We hope to provide some preview images when they become available.
Known for her incredible I-cup bust and curves, Yumemi debuted in gravure in 2019. She is keeping the ...
I-cup gravure idol Ruu Yumemi to make porn debut after sex tape scandal
March 16, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
The serried ranks of adult video are filled with new debuts, most of which disappear without much trace. Rarer are the high-profile gradols (gravure idols) and music idols who make the crossover. (There are more common porn debuts by lesser-known idols whose names are unlikely to raise an eyebrow.)
The most successful example of late has been Kaoru Yasui, whose new career is picking up some steam.
Now comes the porn debut of Ruu Yumemi (夢見るぅ), an I-cup busty gradol, with Moodyz.
Interestingly, she is doing it under her original geimei (performer name) -- not adopting a new one for ...
First look at gravure idol Kaoru Yasui porn debut
February 2, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Reported by us back in late December, the porn debut of busty gravure idol Kaoru Yasui has attracted a lot of attention.
It's probably the most high-profile gravure switchover since the likes of Miu Nakamura, Miyako Akane, or Shoko Takasaki/Takahashi a few years ago, whose career has soared in the years following.
Now the first preview image has appeared and, understandably, interest is focused on 21-year-old Kaoru's huge breasts -- an H-cup, in case you were wondering.
The 153-minute (DVDTEK098) was released in Japan yesterday, February 1. We expect it to sell well, but Kaoru will ...
Osaka nurse makes porn debut after getting 10,000 Twitter followers

People sometimes make outrageous claims on social media, and don't always follow through.
But This Japanese lady apparently wasn't lying.
The nurse and purported influencer claimed that she would make her adult video debut if she got over 10,000 followers.
Mikako Horiuchi (堀内未果子) went by the name Onikonbu (卍鬼昆布ちゃん卍) for her then-little-known Twitter account, which she had used since May 2012.
Well, the F-cup beauty soon did accrue that number of followers -- and more. She was as good as her word and promptly shot her first porn release (IPIT00015), which came out ...
