The tabloid, Otakara, claims that the unnamed former SKE48 idol is now working at Osaka's Tobita Shinchi red-light district as a prostitute.
According to the magazine, the idol offers blow jobs with a condom for ¥16,000, though kissing is not allowed. Full sex with a condom is also apparently possible.
The idol joined the group in 2009 but was an underdog in the elections. Hmm...we wonder who it could be.
We have no way of verifying the truth behind this short of visiting every establishment in Tobita Shinchi (sounds like a fun assignment!), nor have we yet seen the full article in the ...
Another week, another exciting AV debut. This time it is the busty Inori Fukazawa, apparently a former gravure idol, who will release her first porn video on New Year's Day.
Start 2020 off with a bang by watching Inori getting, well, banged.
The 150-minute release (MIFD094) from Moodyz sees Inori getting screwed by a couple of guys. Judging from the preview images, she has two cocks to deal with at one point and at another is sucking a lucky guy off while her face is covered by a serious coating of cum. Now that's what we call celebrating the New Year.
The publicity ...
We wrote about the adult video debut of Tina Nanami back in late 2018 but could only find time in our busy schedules finally to check it out last week.
Released on January 10th, "Rin toshite hakanai" (roughly, Dignified Ephemeral) (1STARS00025) from SOD Star is a solid first porn title and Tina Nanami (七海ティナ), who is apparently a former Nagoya underground idol (chika idol) and Shibuya 109 Men's sales representative, should have a bright career ahead of her.
Pale skin? Big bust? Beautiful face? Tina's got it all!
Her second AV release (1STARS00037) already came out on February 7th ...
We are currently marooned out in the Japanese countryside, far from the sights and sounds of Tokyo's kinky wonderscape and the joys of attractive ladies. Fortunately an Internet connection is keeping us sane.
As we round out the year, we wanted to highlight another recent development in the busy world of adult video -- and something to look forward to in the New Year!
This time it's Cocona Yuzuki (aka Kokona Yuzuki), a voice actress (seiyuu) who has been vocal in the past about sexual coercion in the industry. At the ripe old age of 23, after 13 years of work as an idol, gravure model, ...
The Education Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi has apologized for using an official car to pay visits to a "sexy yoga" studio.
It follows a sexual harassment scandal involving a leading bureaucrat in the finance ministry, who was recently forced to resign after audio emerged of him asking to hug and touch the breasts of a female newspaper reporter.
The tabloids have gleefully parsed the details of this new transgression, such as the private oil massage Hayashi received from the yoga instructor. Was there also a bit of rub and tug?!
We, on the other hand, are more intrigued by the instructors. ...
We love gravure and AV idols, but not just the ones currently in fashion. We also like learning about the thousands of women working in gravure and AV do after their careers are over.
Some go into prostitution or working as a hostess. Some become mainstream TV presenters or actors -- or even politicians. If they're lucky, some snag the right man and settle down to a quiet life of marriage and family. Some, though, fade into obscurity and poverty.
The actress Hikari Mitsushima is an acclaimed and popular talent today but started her career as an teen idol. The porn star Nayuka Mine is now a ...
One of our ongoing preoccupations is what happens to gravure and music idols after they stop being famous. Once they have faded into obscurity, how do they survive? Get married and become homemakers? Go into hostessing or even prostitution? Or a totally different line of work?
Some evidently advance into careers in AV.
We also previously looked at the case of Yuka Kosaka, who now runs a nursery school in Chiba.
Others make the unexpected leap into mainstream politics.
Here is another cautionary tale.
The tarento Hanako Takigawa is only 28 but already has had a troubled, up-and-down ...
Rena Masuyama (増山麗奈). Writer, artist, journalist, painter, film director, left-wing activist, and all-round wacky woman.
She was part of Momoiro Guerrilla, a performance group that did a "torture talk show" at Fuchu Art Museum in 2004, where she had a vibrator stuck up her pussy while she talked about the tragedy of war.
Born in 1976, Masuyama performed body painting where she squirted milk from her lactating breasts over a live audience.
She made many examples of provocative "breast milk" art, often clad in the kind of gear that the Hooters girls wear to work.
And ...
This is a working list of idols from AKB48 or sister groups like SKE48 who have graduated onto second careers in nude modeling and/or adult video (AV).
There are rumored to be others but these are what we know of. Share if there are others!
Momona Kito
The most high-profile recent graduate into the porn industry, Momona Kito starred in an ostensibly one-off porn release by Muteki as Yua Mikami. It was such a hit, she has since decided to do more and make a whole career of it.
Rina Nakanishi
Rina Nakanishi was the pioneer, laying the ground for the other idols who have followed in her ...
What do you do when you graduate from the porn world? Become a singer like Yuma Asami? Perhaps. Become a mangaka like Nayuka Mine? Perhaps. Or you can become an artist!
Japanese porn star turned photographer Saki Otsuka showcases her lensing work in Mitsubai Room, a monthly photography magazine.
Otsuka has been gradually building a post-porn career in photography that is sensibly informed by her expertise. Her work is sexually explicit but dark and jagged, more Daido Moriyama than Kishin Shinoyama or Yasumasa Yonehara.
This is taken from her Hotel B series (she wants models, by ...
