If you thought that when Sola Aoi got married, you would see the last of her, think again.
The popular former adult video star is now heavily pregnant but isn't content to sit back and wait for nature to take its course. No, even the imminent start of maternity is a way for her to connect with her legions of fans and, if we're frank, take her fame (as in 655,000-Instagram-followers-level fame) to new extremes.
"Welcome to the world, Sola's baby [sic]," says the publicity for Abema TV's live broadcast of the birth of her twins. Yes, 35-year-old Sola (sometimes spelled Sora) is going to ...
Asian Boss recently landed a video interview with former Japanese adult video star Emiri Okazaki.
The video has proved a hit, notching up over 3.5 million views in just a few days at time of writing.
As video host Kei notes, Japan is known for a handful things, including anime and porn. But why is porn so big here? And what is like to work in the industry?
The 18-minute interview is in Japanese but has English subtitles throughout. Emiri Okazaki, whose five-year AV stint began in 2011, discusses her career and thoughts on working as a porn star.

There comes a point in every Japanese porn star fan's life when he (or she) has to accept the facts of reality.
Their favorite adult video idol will, at some point, retire from the industry, most likely into obscurity. Or they get married (at least, they do the rare thing of announcing this publicly while still famous).
Such is the case with Sola Aoi, the immensely popular JAV star who enjoys remarkable fame overseas.
Sola (or Sora) has not made an original porn release since 2011 but is still adored by legions of men, especially in China. Now, sadly, there is a further obstacle between ...
Nippon.com, normally a fairly austere and academic online publication, has published an article by sociologist Suzumi Suzuki, in which she discusses her fieldwork about adult video and role play in the porn world.
Suzuki starts out with a very positive view of her subject matter:
AV actresses are surprisingly articulate when asked to talk about themselves. In the videos by which they make a living, as well as in magazines and other media, they calmly field personal questions of all kinds and narrate their personal stories smoothly and eloquently.
To a large extent, this is a skill they ...
Nayuka Mine (峰なゆか) is a former porn star turned manga-ka.
She is famous for having an alluring, curvy beauty similar to Mitsu Dan.
Born in 1984, she made her AV debut in 2005 but left the porn industry in 2009, except for a brief comeback in 2011 for a lesbian title from MOODYZ.
These days her appearances are tamer, though she's not averse to posting some very sexy selfies!
But personally we love seeing her in all her glory.
Like Manami Hashimoto and Mitsu Dan, Nayuka is definitely a lady who is getting hotter with ...
